'Bullshit today is our audition and I haven't even rehearsed once.' I was getting nervous with every passing second. Right then our band name was announced. 'Damn now what will I do?' By now my heartbeat had increased.

"Nandini let's go." Bhai shook me gently breaking my trance.

I nodded my head in yes, trying to control my nervousness. Ok Nandini breath in, breath out. I slowly inhaled and exhaled. As I was about to enter the audition room. I heard Manik's voice.
"Nandini best of luck."
I turned around and there he was.

"Hey instead of resting why are you here?" I scolded.

"I am fine." he said as he came near me yet maintaining his distance. He then held my hand and made me touch his forehead. Indeed he had recovered. Automatically a smile made a way to my face.

"But you...." Before I could complete he put his fingers on my lips. As his fingers touched my lips I could feel a different sensation going inside me. "Shhh.." I was drowning in his hypnotic eyes.

He slowly brought his face near me. Automatically my eyes closed as I felt his face near me. Then I felt his lips on my cheeks. A shiver ran down my spine as he brushed his lips gently on my cheeks.
"Best of luck Nandini." he whispered

His action made me smile

His action made me smile.
"Now go." he said softly, indicating towards the door.

The nervousness that was in me had drifted away. I took a long deep breath as I indicated bhai and aryaman to start.

I closed my eyes as I felt the beat.

"Pal Bhar Thahar Jaao
Dil Ye Sambhal Jaaye
Kaise Tumhe Roka Karun
Meri Taraf Aata Har
Gham Phisal Jaaye
Aankhon Mein Tum Ko Bharun
Bin Bole Baatein Tumse Karun
Agar Tum Saath Ho
Agar Tum Saath Ho

I remembered the moment when I had hugged Manik and cried. When I had let my tears flow. When I had released my pain in form of tears.

Behti Rehti
Nahar Nadiya Si
Teri Duniya Mein
Meri Duniya Hai
Teri Chaahaton Mein
Main Dhal Jaati Hoon
Teri Aadaton Mein
Agar Tum Saath Ho

I closed my eyes as bhai and Aryaman sang this part. But all I could remember was the way Manik had sang these lines in the orphanage.
