Chapter 28: Shaurya's Song

Tanmay was getting over friendly with Sanya, and I didn't like it, not because I was jealous or something, but obviously if Shaurya has grudges for him, there has to be a reason, I wanted to go with them when Aditi came and said

 "Dhruv we will execute the plan in the conclusion of tonight" 

I nodded a yes and turned to look for Sanya, but she was gone.

After I talked to Tanmay, I wanted to keep an eye on Aditi and what is she up to so I went to her, and when I reached her, she was scolding a junior for her on mistake and that stupid junior was listening to her, she spilled her drink completely over the junior's dress and was scolding her for ruining her drink, I went there and asked the junior to leave and told Aditi I will get her another drink just come with me.

I went to get myself water and saw girl struggling with her dress with drink spilled all over it and being the gentleman I am, I asked her if I could help. Initially she looked scared but then accepted my help. When I started talking to her, I got to know Aditi spilled this drink over her and Sanya came in and sent her away. Typical Sanya being Sanya, she could have been here helping Aachal (this girl) but she has to be with her best friend.

I was getting Aditi another drink when we saw that girl with Shaurya helping her getting her dress cleaned, I could sense anger on Aditi's face but couldn't tell if it was for that girl or Shaurya being with a girl, before she could say something Tanmay came to us telling Dhruv has an announcement to make so we should go near the stage and then we asked about the girl and then got to know she was Aachal in 2022 engineering batch, but we both didn't react much and went near the stage, when we reached there Dhruv announced that today's first performance will be by Shaurya for welcoming the juniors and of course last year they missed his singing so they should get to listen this time. And I was like what why, but to my surprise even Shaurya looked surprised as if even he didn't know.

I wanted to be here, but never wanted to perform but I guess Dhruv wanted something else. So, he asked me come on the stage and sing, and then I glanced at Tanmay and I knew which song I wanted to sing. So, I started,

O meherbaan ve
Karaan main tera sukriya ve,

looking at Sanya,

O sahibaa ve
Mareez-e-ishq ho gaya ve,

remembering when I proposed her in class 10

confessing

Mainu lagdi na koi dava ve,

and I had the flash back when I met the car accident and she saved me

Fear to lose

Mera Rabb hi hai mera gavaah ve
Hun tu kar mera faisla ve
Jo naal tere na jiya
Toh jeeke ki karaan
Tera, tera... tera hua haan
Aashiq tera, tera... tera hua haan

Aashiq tera, tera... tera hua haan

thinking just how many times we argue

Hosh baaton ka aksar nahi tha,

remembering when I walked away when she asked me out, when I called her an anybody

Walking Away

Dil humara toh shayar nahi tha
Tune likh di ye taqdeer warna,

remembering how she tried to make me understand all, even my own feelings

Ishq wala muqaddar nahi tha

Teri nazron ke kaaran.
Chhute hain deen-o-dharam,

remembering how I didn't wish for myself but her this Janmashtami.

prayers

Kiye ja tu kiye ja
Abhi kuch aur sitam

how she took help from Kunal in Riya's case

Nahi sambhla dil mere sambhale

How I was kind of jealous of Tanmay even when I wanted to not care

Ise kar daala tere hawale
Tu mita de ya chahe bacha le,

how she saved me when I was drunk

aa ishq pe mere chala le apni marziyan

Tera, tera... tera hua haan
Aashiq tera, tera... tera hua haan

how just looking at her can make my heart go struck, but that's not how it should be

Dil ke aage ye aafat badi hai
Khwahishein phir bhi zidd pe adi hai
Hum se maayoos hoga zamaana,

how Aditi and Dhruv will react to us and how jealous Aditi already is of Sanya

Par zamaane ki kisko padi hai

Tu chala jaayega ghar
Saath hai ye ghadi bhar,

remembering how we will get away when our college will be over

Manzilein meri nahi
Hai mera bas ye safar

how I know we are never gonna be meant for each other

Sarhadon ko na hoga ye gawara
Ki mile dil se dil koi awaara
Main parinda hoon, tu hai sitaara
Main aasmaan chunu tu apna aasmaan

just how different are we and our goals

Tera, tera... tera hua haan
Aashiq tera, tera... tera hua haan...

But I was singing this whole song looking at Aditi so she doesn't feel bad.

Shaurya sang for everyone, and he has a brilliant voice for sure but I was really pissed to appreciate it. Up next was Tanmay's performance with Aachal and I wanted Tanmay to be prepared so I went to him and we were talking when Shaurya said to Kabir "These juniors think we act to be cool when they are seriously nothing in front of us". Tanmay responded out of frustration "That was just beginner's luck for you" "Oh, so let's have a re-match today, no?" Shaurya responded and Tanmay said he agrees to after his performance and had this performance on bachana aee hasino with that Aachal. And I knew he won't be able to win against Shaurya so when they placed a table and two chairs on each side and Shaurya sat on one of them and Tanmay was going to sit on the other I executed my plan.

What is Sanya's plan? Why does Sanya hate Shaurya so much? is it just a grudge they are holding? or is it something else?
