S-"n about this list we can forward it n get it approved by authority n then I can mail the other colleges about it"

Sanyu was listening to everthing silently. Vd bhai choosed all these forms? But how can he? This is not done.
Vids-"piya how will u manage?"
S-"shut up vidu. I know Piya can do any n everything. We just need to motivate her n allow her to practice. Thats it."
Yo-"but what is the need for all this when we have u anarkali? Its all a child's play for u."
S-"no yoyo its not a child's game. N moreover Piya is going to dance n thats final." Saying so she stormed out of the room.
Rd(in mind)-"no matter how much u try to run Sanyukta, I will not let u do so. N thats my promise"
AT NIGHT
SANYUKTA'S HOUSE
Sanyu was gone from college for the whole day. She went to orphanage to find some peace over there but to her dismay the thoughts were still houndering her. Hence she came back to her home only to find Vd sitting there.
S-"Vd bhai? U?"
Vd-"finally u r here Sanyu... I wanted to meet u in college itself but don't know where u vanished"
S-"ha vo I got some work. Hence I went there"
Vd-"work or memory?"
S-"what do u mean?"
Vd-"u know sanyu this event is really important for us not only because it will add to college prestige but it will boost ur confidence too. Remember Sanyu all those venomous moments which u decided to fight. It is the time Sanyu.. try n fight them. I know u are somebody else now but guess what I want my Old Sanyu back, who was best in everything n by everything I mean it. It is the time to prove that man what are girls capable of ? N lemme tell u Sanyu, u don't have any single enemy but many, not only from other colleges but inside ur college too. U have to be strong to fight with them."
S-"u don't worry I or my team will not let u down. N waise bhi its too late u should go back now."
Vd-"n Sanyu ur list of additional evemt has been approved n now U can mail them."
She just nodded n went to her room.
Vd (to anju n priti)-"now I should go but she will have to be strong to face each n every situation because many hurdles are waiting for her. Just pray for her." Saying so he left from there.
That night was a long night for Sanyukta. Somewhere or the other she was feeling un-easy.
------------------------------------------------------
S-"make sure everything is done. I don't want any mistake." That was the instruction she was giving on cell to Vidushi.
She cut the call n was walking down the corridor when she heard the sound of faint music coming from rehearsal hall. Automatically her legs made way towards the sound. There she saw Piya rehearsing for the dance round. N from there she took a flight to memory lane.
FLASHBACK
Ek kali do pattiyan
Nazuk nazuk ungliyan
Tor rahi hain kaun ye
Ek kali do pattiyan
Ratanpur bagiche mein
Phulke khilkhilati, sawan barsaati
Hans rahi hain kaun ye
Mogri jagati, mogri jagati
Ek kali do pattiyan
Nazuk nazuk ungliyan
Tor rahi hain kaun ye
Ek kali do pattiyan
Ratanpur bagiche mein
Jugnu aur Lakshmi ki lagan aisi aai
Daali daali jhoome
Leke angrai, ho leke angrai
Ek kali do pattiyan
Nazuk nazuk ungliyan
Tor rahi hain kaun ye
Ek kali do pattiyan
Jugnu aur Lakshmi ki preet rang laai
Nanhe se ek munne se chumki jagmagayi
Ek kali do pattiyan
Khilne bhi na payi thi
Torne us baagiche mein
Danav aaya re, ho danav aaya hari
Danav ki parchayee mein kaanp rahi thi pattiyan
Bujh ne lagi maasum kali
Danav ki parchayee mein
Danav ki parchayee mein
Saye se bedaar huye, tambaran si bahon mein
Dhol madal bajne lagi madal aisi baaje
Re Lakhon milke naache re
Aaya ek tufaan naya
Danav darke bhag gaya, madal aise garja re
Danav darke bhaga
Ek kali do pattiyan
Nazuk nazuk ungliyan
Tor rahi hain kaun ye
Ek kali do pattiyan
Ratanpur bagiche mein (It is a poem by Bhupen Hazarika n the first song I danced to at the age of 4... n to my luck I won the first prize)
"N the first prize goes to the angel in white, Sanyukta Agarwal"
N the little girl went up on the stage to receive the prize.
The presenter said, "such a meaningfull poem by Bhupen Hazarika sahab n it was potrayed in so pure way by just a 4-year old. Its wonderfull. We mut say the girl isblessed by Lord Natraj n Lordess Saraswati... it is then only she can perform so great. I'm sure she will be a great dancer some day"
The girl bent down n did a pranam to judges n to the stage n the kissed the stage n her ghungroos.
Prsenter-"beta why did u did a pranam n den kissed the stage n ur ghungroos"
S-"because it is because of this stage that I'm standing over here. N it is because of my ghungroos that I can dance so well. For me this stage n ghungroos are my Lord n to pay respect to them I did a pranam to them n to show my love for them I kissed them." She replied in a cute voice.
Presenter-"really I'm blessed to look at such a mature girl for whom dance is not mode of entertainment but is her puja. We don't get such students anymore. God bless u n may u go long way"
The girl got down the stage n hopped into her man's lap who was stamdong n continously clapping n cheeribg for her.
S-"I love u papa"
FLASHBACK ENDS
A tera drop fell from Sanyukta's eyes.
S-"u were wrong ma'am I am not made to dance. I could not go a long way in it. Maybe there was some mistake in my worship that Dance decided to leave me, maybe I was not meant for it." She wiped the tear n walked past the rehearsal hall. Little did she knew that someone had heard it all, said or unsaid, all the words.
Rd-"dance has not left u Sanyu, u have left dance. N I promise to give it back to u. Coz today I saw that passion, that love for dance in ur eyes. N I am going to bring it back to u because I know that old Sanyukta still has her charms."
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Sanyukta was sitting on the bemch n weeping silently, when...
Avara Bina mara mara mai to dil hara hun
Apno ki dhun me, Me thoda paraya hun
Meri jindagi, Meri ye baatein
Tujhse judi, Tujhse yaadein
Hain meri tu kahin pe hai
Kya mujhko yaad harti hai
Agar thoda roo leti hai
fir, haske tu kehati hai mujse
Sar pe bhoot... tere ishq kaa...
Naya raang laga hai.. tere ishq kaa...
Thodi tu thoda mein, apana jaha hai
Teri meri baaton ka sama hai
Khud se hi lad jaun mein
kuch bhi kar jaun (X2)
Kya mujhko yaad harti hai
Agar thoda roo leti hai
fir, haske tu kehati hai mujse
Sar pe bhoot chadha hai tere ishq ka
Naya rang laga hai tere ishq kaa
Sar pe bhuu... (X2) tere ishq ka
She turned to find Rd standing n singing with guitar in his hand.
S-"tum yaha?"
Rd-"ha wo I thought that tum he zaroorat hai meri"
S-"aur aisa kyu?"
Rd-"vo kya hai na senorita main tumse kuch din kya mila nhi ki tum rone lagi. Arre if u were missing me toh call kar leti na" said sitting beside her.
S-"kisne kaha I was missing u.."
Rd-"aapke inn moti ne" she said wiping off her tears.
S-"I am not crying" she tried to turn hef face n hide her tears.
Rd-"look Sanyu I know u don't meed anyone or u are strong. But trust me agar dil ki baat bol di jaaye toh halka mehsoos hota hai (he looked directly in her eyes) n I too have confided my little secret about my grandma in u"
S-"u know Rd u were right kayi baar apko vo nhi mil pata jo aap chahte ho shayad isliye k destiny ne apke liye kuch aur hi planning ki hoti hai..."
Rd-"maine ek jagah ek quote padha tha DESTINY DOES NOT MAKES DESTINATION, DESTINATION MAKES DESTINY"
S-"shayad aisa hota ho par har kisi k saath nhi"
Rd-"aisa nhi hai Sanyukta. U need to fight for ur right because haq cheene se milta hai... mangne se toh bheek milti hai"
Sanyukta looked at Rd, "maine try kiya tha Rd but destiny ne mujh se sab cheen liya n ab shayad I don't have it in me anymore"
Rd-"u know Sanyukta itna toh main tumhe janta hu ki tum jaldi harr nhi manti toh ohir iss baar kaise?"
S-"maybe because I was too weak to fight"
Rd-"u know Sanyukta when dadi passed away I thought I lost the music in me. But it was u who made me understand that music is still with me, n I can still have it. N look I am back with my buddy"pointing towards his guitar.
S-"many things depend on practice Rd. N about ur guitar it was matter of less time"
Rd-"who said that Sanyukta. U know my dadi used to say that if we have that soul in us, we will not forget our talent even if we not practice till our death n if we don't have soul then we can forget everything in just a day. N about u Sanyukta, u have that soul in u. U just need to wake it up. Think about my words" n saying so he left from there.
Leaving behind a wondering Sanyukta.
S-" u are wrong Rd, past n present cannot be same. Not for me. I am somebody else now, I am not that Sanyukta, whom I used to be. She is dead Rd, she is dead. N dead stuff never relive."
Rd, who was standing behind a tree said to himself, "no sanyukta, she is not dead. Its just that she is asleep in coma, she wants to regain conciousness bit u are stopping her. N the day she regains the conciousness she will be the best. N trust me that day will come soon"
