19. No Frills. No Fancy. Just You.

At The Studio – 5:00 PM

Aman shoots Arnav a thumbs up across, as he finishes speaking to Raman and Nisha from their logistics/admin team. The thumbs up was a sign to Arnav across, that yes, all had been arranged for Khushi and Manizeh to come in here and join him and the others around(the rest of the managers and the admin crew) watch – the rest of them practice upfront on this stage set-up area – that was a part of this studio, they'd been rehearsing at.

Everyone, was in the middle of practicing the group performance and as Arnav waited for Armaan to finish singing his lines in the moment, Aman obviously saw him gesture in a nod of thanks back, before he just eyed his watch at Aman again subtly, in a gesture to ask – Where is she? Dude? I can't obviously check given that I am in the middle off this, on stage right now. You check, please?

Aman obviously gestures that he will get around to doing just that, gesturing to his phone at that – and a minute later, just as he does get a confirmation from Khushi that they'd be up here in the next two minutes, he gestures the same to Arnav up on stage – with a flash off his two fingers – which only makes Arnav grin in glee to himself as he gets on with singing his lines now – happily. It was obvious to Aman, that Arnav just couldn't wait to get a glimpse of Khushi – obviously.

Now on the side , Raman and Nisha from the logistics/admin team were in the middle off discussing this very development with the rest.

Nisha filled the rest in,hurriedly – " guys...Aman just filled us in...that he's got permission..to have a couple of ASR's guests come watch the rest of the practice....today....like he's already spoken to the management staff at the studio, for the same...they'v been informed to send ASR's guests straight up..,"and she snaps her fingers after – " dude...I am telling you guys...my gut tells me...its surely two people from that group...he'd arranged those..special seats for, at the concert..last minute..the other day....and my gut also tells me...its surely going to be that gorgeous woman...he seeked permission for to go see him in the green room too...before..concert....dude...I am telling you all since that day right??these two surely have history...like Aman knew her so well...I was there with him right...as we walked...with the girls to the green room....I am telling you...ever since that day...my heads been on this thinking spree...what's happening? In his love life? Is it this mystery woman...for him? or Syna? Up on stage next to him??,"she asks now pointing to the stage.

Raman says connecting the dots in his head too – " Well, honestly...my heads kinda reeling too...in the same thought.."

Rahul chips in – " guys...why not we observe on this – k?? and what if...its not the same people?? Like Neha and Armaan had some relatives and friends come over at practice too yesterday...its not really a big deal..."

Raman chips in worry, given that he was the social media incharge – " either ways...look...whatever it is....I just hope..it comes out in the open after this tour ya...all this publicity with ASR and Syna link up..is seriously helping us so much...online...in creating that buzz...right? Vasu?."(She was the PR incharge)

And Vasu nods at him at that on reflex - which earns the two a glare from Preetika almost instantly as she rolls her eyes – " are you crazy Raman?Vasu? Like you guys would hope anything? For publicity or what????he's such a nice guy...I'd just hope well for him...either ways...no matter what the truth is..."

Vasu and Raman say in their defence – " well, it's the scope of our jobs...not that we have anything against ASR...otherwise...."
