Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

12. Gravity...

Samarth admits honestly – " I will be...okay...Khushi...clarity like you said has potent power.."

Khushi nods at that – " it indeed does...,"And she whispers to the three – " I have no clue, how am I going to wade my way through seeking clarity within lanes of the past plus the bit of being present in the present...but I just gotta figure it out, I guess? One step at a time..maybe??"

The three nod – "exactly.."

And it is right then – Khushi's phone beeps in her hand and she reads Arnav's text.

Arnav : Khushi , have you reached? The arena? Please tell me, you have?

She types back : well, yes, Arnav. we just reached – five minutes ago.

Arnav : that's great, Khushi.so wait, are you like seated in your seats, already??

Khushi : Yes, Arnav. Didn't you send that reminder to be here early??We are all here. Oh wait, I just realised – I didn't wish you - All the best to you, for the concert....yet.So yeah – Best Wishes – Arnav. It's crazy jamm packed in here....

Arnav : Thank you for the best wishes Khushi.Also, Thank God, you are here. I know its jamm packed, but - listen, I want to see you.Now.Before the concert begins, we have time.Will you ome see me, please??

Khushi's eyes pop out her socket at that as she shows the message to Manizeh, before she quickly replies.

Khushi : what????????????

Arnav: you read me right, the first time around. Come see me, please????? Ten minutes????

Khushi gulps down her raced up emotions at that, as she types.

Khushi : are you crazy????Arnav???

Arnav : Call me crazy, if you must, just come see me, please? if you say you okay with it, then Aman will help arrange on the same. Get Manizeh, if that brings you more comfort – Khushi.

Khushi sighs in relief at that. Manizeh can save her from fainting in emotion – perhaps?

Manizeh is obviously reading into Khushi's phone and she says now urgently – " say, yes...dammit...babe..what you waiting for???remember? being fair to what you feel in the present. It's on your face – you want to go see him now.."

Khushi succumbs but she eyes Manizeh – " yeah, maybe, okay...but he doesn't need to know that – okay? Ill just tell him – I wouldn't mind wishing him well in person...k?"

Manizeh rolls her eyes at that – " cover up in front of him the way you want, too..Khushi...but for heavens sake...say yes...please??"

Khushi types now : uh – okay! I will come see you. I don't mind wishing you, all the best in person...Arnav.But, what do I do? where do I go?

Arnav : Aman will be in front of you in two minutes, along with two of our admin members Raman and Nisha – they'll get Manizeh and you to my green room – k? don't worry too much, it is not against the rules – k? our family and friends are allowed to be around us before performances, if we wish..come soon...K?
