He may be the boldest man for this world but to her he is a soft kid...
*****
Ananya tried hard to focus on her work but she couldn't. The work table became her bed today. But that wouldn't put her to sleep.
Still her thoughts were running through the last night. Anand's words keep echoing in her ears.
Shanvi : Hey sleepy dog... did you Forgot today's appointment? Already the clients are waiting for you.
Ananya : I'm not in the mood for those things. Shanvi... Do me a favor, attend this meeting for my sake.
Shanvi : Is this your project or mine..? But I have something to please you. Tan... tan... tan...
Shanvi shows the announcement of Anand's upcoming (First) concerts to Ananya.
Ananya (in mind) : She wouldn't believe me if I told her "I already know this".
Shanvi : I know you love it... I also very excited for Valentine's Day this year. Can i book tickets for both of us?
Ananya : I don't think I can come with you. I have commitments this weekend.
Shanvi : I can't believe you, I think you decide to leave me here and enjoy the concert alone. if it Is not your plan, then what can be your plan for Valentine's Day?
Ananya : Nowadays you don't believe me at all. I don't have time to argue with you, I have a meeting...and only a 1% chance of making it to the concert. So don't depend on me if you want to go to a concert.
After saying this, Ananya quickly left the place.
Shanvi : Did I say anything wrong?
Shanvi seems to be going crazy not knowing why Ananya is angry with her.
Anand had already informed Ananya about the concert announcement... He also said that " the first concert " is going to be held at her place and It was mainly to please his fan number 1 (Ananya). There is no greater joy for a fan girl than this.
Ananya doesn't have the guts to say "I can't come" to him who says he's doing everything for her. Ananya has no intention of hurting her father even though his understanding is wrong. Although she couldn't blame her father alone, there were many reasons why Ananya couldn't come to the concert.
*****
Concert Day....
The whole place was bustling with people running and walking here and there doing their work carefully. Most of the people who were there only wanted the concert to go well.
This is Anand's first concert, if this concert goes well, it will increase Anand's fame many times.
It is Valentine's Day Night...
So There's no doubt that the concert is going to be extra special.
Although there was some kind of nervousness in everyone's mind, but Anand was more nervous than all of them. You are right.... Ananya has not come yet.
" This Ananya never cares about time and she makes it her job to keep me in high tension, oh god she don't even answer my calls " - Anand.
While lamenting like this, he heard a noise on the door step, Anand got up and went to see who it was.
To his surprise Shanvi was standing there.
Shanvi : Can't you understand, Let me in. I know AJ very well.
Security guard : Sorry mam... We have certain rules, so we cannot allow you.
Anand : What's going on here? Shanvi...
Security guard : Sorry sir... I tried to stop her... But...
Anand : It's okay... I know her. You can let her in.
After some security check they let shanvi inside.
Anand : What a pleasant surprise? I didn't expect you here.
Shanvi : Thank God you remember me.
Anand : Oh c'mon... How can I forget you ? And your friend... Is she also here ?
Shanvi : Infact I came here only for Ananya. It's true that she didn't talk to you much that day, but she's your biggest fan. So I think you will accept this gift she gives for you.
Anand : If she is my biggest fan then what more important job does she have than to come to this concert of mine.
Shanvi : Actually... I don't know about it... but...
Anand : Hey... hey... I'm just kidding... I will definitely accept this gift.
Shanvi : That's soo nice of you. My boyfriend is waiting for me outside so I have to go now.
Shanvi congratulates Anand and leaves.
Anand was talking to shanvi with a smiling face but a huge fire of anger was burning inside.
He had no desire to open the gift.
His brain : On one hand she angers you, on the other hand she sends gifts to appease you...
His heart : In any case, it's good to take a look at that gift.
His brain : Why should we do that? She doesn't respect our feelings.
His heart : It is not a good thing to talk about other people without knowing their situation.
After waging a great battle within himself, Anand came to a conclusion.
When Anand opened the gift, there was a bracelet with a letter on it.
"Hey Anand....
Please don't stare like that I know you are angry with me. I apologize to you for not telling you earlier that I could not come. I even write one more apology poem if you want... lol... I am stuck in an unavoidable situation and I think you will understand. But you don't need to worry I have sent you my lucky bracelet. Whenever you wear this bracelet my luck always be with you. If you wear it, it means you have forgiven me.
Hey you... don't forget to smile today. You must done this concert well, of course I'll be watching you from some corner. I promise you that I will definitely come and meet you after the concert."
Anand was staring at the bracelet for a while.
Anand : Strange.... Why don't I get angry no matter what she does...? Ok Anand... You can kill her later... Now it's time to rock the stage...
(of course, he wears that bracelet.)
*****
The audience's massive energy surprised him more than he expected.
It must be said that not only his songs but also words spoken by him in between kept the audience entertained. His poetic words inspired everyone to fall for him again and again.
"I swear, my life was science until i met you (audience) and now it's poetry... nothing never ends poetically, it ends and we turn it into poetry. No I'm not perfect but i hope you see my worth. A good song lifts your heart, warm your soul and make you feel the love. Life can be beautiful if you have someone who loves you and your music taste. I promise you to handle your heart with care and treasure it with love. This night has been so magical... I don't want it to end. Then what are we waiting for ? Let's make it count more and more..."
Anand's hands held the guitar again. Then the sound of excitement from the audience reached the sky.
****
The sky was gradually turning its color as moon prepared to go home. Even though Anand was very tired because the whole night of concerts, but he could not find any peace in his mind and sleep did not come to him.
I don't need to tell you that his heart was dying to see Ananya. Ananya was not that bad and she had come to see him early in the morning to keep her promise. But it was Anand who left her wandering without looking at her.
After an hour of effort, Ananya managed to calm him down a little. It is easy to calm down the people who are angry, but not whom pretend to be angry.
However, Ananya was not give up, she cope him with her cuteness and makes him follow her way.
Anand : Anu... Where are we now?
Ananya : Come with me without asking anything and you will understand everything in no time.
Just as Ananya had said, Anand understood everything in no time. They now visit the orphanage that Ananya frequents. He remembered everything Ananya had often told him about the orphanage. He knew this was her world. But he never imagined that she would bring him to her world. But to his surprise it said "Welcome AJ"
Ananya : Everyone come here quickly and see who has come with me.
On hearing Ananya's voice, he saw all the children playing there running towards them. All the children surrounded the two of them, laughing and talking in such a way that they expressed their happiness.
Then a little girl entered by parting the crowd. Anyone can tell by looking at her, she is a blind little girl.
Uma (Little girl) : Shree... Has he arrived?
Ananya : He has come just for you dear.
The little girl walked towards Anand and held out her hands. Anand knelt before the girl, The girl stroked Anand's face with her small hands. Anand placed a soft kiss on the girl's hand.
" AJ.... AJ.... I touched him... I touched him " Uma started jumping in joy. No poet can write down the joy on that little child's face that day with pen and paper. Anand's eyes filled with tears. He don't wanna cry but also he want.
Ananya : Today is her birthday. Nothing makes her happier than you come to see her on her birthday. There can be no better gift for her. I really want to thank you.
Anand : No I'm the one who wants to thank and I am also sorry for being mad at you. (His eyes were still filled with tears.)
Ananya : Oh c'mon...
"It's time to cut the birthday cake" Everyone started running towards the direction of the sound.
*****
After spending their whole day at the orphanage, Ananya and Anand spend some time wandering around the garden.
Ananya was walking enjoying the beauty of the nature around and Anand was walking with her enjoying the beauty of Ananya.
It was a call from David that brought him to his senses.
Anand : Oh no... I completely forgot about David.
Ananya : David? Why didn't he come with you?
Anand : Yeah... we had some plans for Valentine's Day.
Ananya : Haha... If so, I've completely ruined your plan.
Anand : Yeah... No... Actually... Your plans were better than mine.
Ananya : So Can I know who is that luckiest person in the world? I mean your valentine?
" You're my VALENTINE... "
