Part 25

The team's excitement knew no bounds. As soon as everyone was done with their work in college, they left and reached the academy. The team was assigned a rehearsal hall, while Taani was asked to wait till the event managing list is out. The chances of Taani and Shivam managing Team D3 were very high.

Nil: Guys, tum sab ko kya lagta hai? Humari management team kaun hogi?

Rey: I have a gut feeling ki Taani hogi!

Vicky: Minimum do log toh hoge hi! Agar Taani hogi toh uske peeche peeche Cheevam bhai sahib bhi aa jayenge!

Niki: What do you mean? Aur uska naam Shivam hai!

Vicky: Niki tum bhadak kyun rahiho? Mein toh bas aise hi..

Niki: Aise hi kya!?

Vicky: Rey teri behen ko sambhal.

Rey: Pange tune liye, tu khud handle kar le.

Everyone burst out laughing when Niki started running behind Vicky, hitting him.

*Meanwhile in Canteen*

Taani (In her thoughts): Kitna atcha hoga agar hum sab saath mein kaam karenge. Rey, Bhai, Shivam, mein aur baaki ki puri team. Fir kaam kam aur masti jyada hogi. Aur events toh rocking hoge, as D3 team is rocking. Abhi sab log waha rehearsal hall mein mazze kar rahe honge, aur mein yaha aisi akeli baithi hu. Shivam ko bhi aaj hi late hona tha na! Aane do usse, atchi khabar lungi uski!

Her thoughts are disturbed when she hears someone calling her name.

Mr. Ghai: Miss Taani Shekhawat?

Taani: Yes..

Mr. Ghai: I'm Ramesh Ghai, the owner and director of this academy.

Taani (getting up from her seat):Hello sir. It's nice to meet you.

Mr. Ghai: I needed to talk to you and your partner Mr. Shivam Singh.

Taani: Umm.. Sir Shivam isn't here.

Mr. Ghai: It's alright, reporting time waise bhi ek ghante baad ka hai. So as tum yahan ho, mein tumhi se baat kar leta hun.

Taani: Sure sir.

Mr. Ghai: Meet me in my cabin in five minutes. (he leaves)

Rey has come in the canteen searching for Taani.

Rey: Taani.

Taani: Aap yaha?

Rey: Meri chodo, tum yahan akeli kyun baithi ho?

Taani: Voh Shivam late aa raha hai.

Rey: Toh rehearsal hall aa jati.

Taani: Thodi der mein aa jaungi.

Rey: Agar nahi aayi na, toh.. toh mein tumse baat nahi karunga. (showed fake anger)

Taani: Rey bachpana chodiye mujhe jana hai.

Rey: Kahan?

Taani: Sir ne bulaya hai.

Rey: Kyun?

Taani: Voh wahan jaane ke baad hi pata chalega na.

Rey: Theek hai jao aur unko bol dena kit um humare saath kaam karna chahati ho.

Taani: Aisa kisna kaha?

Rey: Atcha?

Taani runs away giggling before Rey can catch her.

Rey: I love her!

*In the Director's Cabin*

Taani: May I come in sir?

Mr. Ghai: Come in. Please sit.

Taani: Sir aapko  kya baat karni thi?

Mr. Ghai: I wanted to request you.

Taani: Request?

Mr. Ghai: Meri beti bhi event management kar rahi hai. She wants to go abroad, and meine usse promise liya tha ki jab tak voh certain number of events handle na kare tab tak vo jaa nahi sakti. Abhi just uska ek hi event bacha hai. Now almost all teams form ho chuki hai. We just have this new dance team and two new managers to assign tasks to.

Taani (happy hearing this): This means that my and in fact everyone's wish will come true. (thinks)

Mr. Ghai: Mein bas yeh puchna chahata tha ki kya voh sirf ek event saath mein accompany kar sakti hai?

Taani: Sir hume koi problem nahi hogi.

Mr. Ghai: Are you sure? I mean tum ek baar apne partner se baat kar lo.

Taani: He won't mind sir.

*There is a knock at the door*

Mr. Ghai: She is here.

Taani turns around and is rooted. Standing in front of her was her lover's ex-girlfriend, as everybody told her, Kriya Ghai.

Taani (in her mind): Kriya? Team ke saath kaam karegi? Abh mein mana bhi nahi kar sakti, I don't have a valid reason to do so.

Mr. Ghai: Taani this is Kriya, and Kriya this is Taani. Taani has agreed to let you accompany for one event. I have an urgent meeting now. (saying this he left)

Kriya: Hi Taani.

Taani: Hi.

Kriya: Thanks a lot for helping me. Mera ek kaam toh khatam hua.

Taani: Matlab?

Kriya: I'm from Dehradun. Do saal pehle mein Mumbai aayi thi. Yahan pe bohot saare logon se mili, bohot friends bhi banaye. Then all of a sudden sab ko chod ke, dukh deke yahan se chali gayi.Iss baar bohot mushkil se mujhe yaha aane ki permission mili, voh bhi iss liye taaki mein apna promise nibha saku. Abh yeh event khatam hone tak yahi rahungi. Uske baad humesha ke liye New York jaane wali hun. Wahan jaake mein firse dance ko apna sakti hun.

Taani: Toh aap bhi ek dancer ho? Toh abh kyun nahi dance karti? (tried acting amazed)

Kriya: Bohot lambi story hai. Kisi aur din bataungi.

Taani: But meko ek baat nahi samjhi, aapne 'mera ek kaam toh khatam hua' aisa kyun kaha?

Kriya: Meine aapse kahan na, ki mein apne friends ko dukh deke, hurt karke, yahan se chali gayi thi, bas unse ek baar maafi maangni hai.

Taani: Toh aap unse milke maafi maanglo.

Kriya: Itna asaan nahi hai Taani. Baaki sab se toh kisi tarah mil sakti hoon par unse.. Himmat hi nahi hoti. Abh bas sab kuch universe ji pe chod diya hai meine.

Taani: Unse?

Kriya: I think hume hamari team jo assign huyi hai unse jaake mil lena chahiye.

Taani: Aap nahi batana chahati toh its perfectly fine. Mein Krishna ji se prarthana karungi ki voh aapki madad kare, aur aapke friends aapko wapas mile.

Kriya: Thanks Taani. Aap bohot sweet hai. (she leaves)

Taani: Hey Krishna ji, sab kuch sambhal lena. Team ka reaction kya hoga jab vo Kriya se milenge.

Her phone rings.

Shivam: Extremely sorry Taani for being late. Mein abhi pahucha hoon. Tum kaha ho?

Taani: Fifth rehearsal haal ke paas milna. Sab wahi hai. Mein bhi aa rahi hu.

Shivam: Sab matlab hum sab saath mein?

Taani: Haan hum sab saath!

Shivam: Tum mujhe canteen ke vahan milna sabko surprise denge!

Taani: Surprise toh milne hi wala hai.

Shivam: Kya?

Taani: Kuch nahi. We're on our way. (cuts the call)

Shivam: We? Aur kaun hai?

Taani arrives with Kriya in the canteen. Shivam goes and hugs Taani. Then he sees Kriya.

Shivam: Kriya? Hi.

Kriya: Hi Shivam

Shivam: Taani, Kriya yahan?

Taani: Haan vo. (and tell him everything)

Kriya: Yup I'll be accompanying you two.

Shivam: Taani jara yahan aana. (Shivam brings Taani asaide)

Taani: Kya hua?

Shivam: Are you sure ki Kriya ko tums abse milwana chahati ho?

Taani: Haan.

Shivam: But Rey?

Taani: Hume late ho raha hai.

The three reach the rehearsal hall.

Shivam: Taani please do the honours of leading.

Taani opens the door and moves in. The team is happy to see her. Rey is smiling ear to ear. Taani just looks at him and gets lost in his eyes, which show his happiness. Her trance is broken by the fake coughs of everyone.

Taani: Hello Guys! We three are gonna be your managers!

Rey: As expected! Wait a second 'three'?

Taani: Yes three! Me, Shivam (Shivam enters) and..

Team: And?

Taani: Please come in.

Kriya enters and is shocked to see St.Louis Dance team, and so is everyone shocked seeing her.

Team: Kriya!

Kriya: Hey guys.

Rey: What nonsense is this!?

Taani: Sir chahate hein ki Kriya hume ek event ke liye accompany kare.

Rey: But hume yeh nahi chahiye!

Niki: Yansh, tum itne hyper kyun ho rahe ho?

Taani: Kyun nahi reh sakti Kriya yahan?

Kriya: Taani, it's alright. Mein dad se baat kar lungi.

Rey: Dad? Wait a sec, tum unki daughter ho? I should have known this! We don't agree with this decision!

Taani: Kriya humare saath kaam karegi. Aur meine sir se keh diya hai ki Shivam and I don't have any problem working with her!

Shivam: Taani calm down. Hum aaram se baat kar sakte hai.

Rey: Mujhe koi baat nahi karni. I don't agree to this decision! I'm off here!

Taani: You are under a contract, you can't leave!

Rey: What?

Taani: Aap ne sahi suna!

Rey: Whatever! (storms out)

Niki: Yansh wait! (goes behind him)

The team and Kriya is confused how to react. They are standing there and observing the argument.

This is the twist

Kisine bhi yeh socha tha?

Kaisa laga twist?

Ab socho aage kya hoga.

Sirf socho mat comment bhi karna and please no two word comments.

Atcha nahi lagta.
