Ajay's thoughts ended as suddenly the car stopped, and he realised that he wasn't home yet!
When he looked around, then did he realised that the whole path was blocked with vehicles, whole of traffic!
"Why is this suddenly happening?"
Choi replied without turning back, "It's crowded cause of the concert that's taking place at there!" he motioned his head and Ajay followed his gaze, and found the concert hall, it was all of lights and screams!
"Who's the performer?"
He shrugged, "I am not sure but I read it in newspaper! It's 'Little Star'!"
He frowned, 'She?' No wonder it's crowded, many would be fighting just for tickets!
"Shall I take a back turn and find another route? It seems like the situation will not change as of now!"
Ajay shook his head! "Park it! Let's attend the concert!"
Choi frowned, very unlike him! While Ajay just wanted to see the person in person! The woman was always successful, he heard about her and also her albums, which he thoroughly accepts to be masterpieces! Her voice was always suiting the theme, as if like chameleon, it changes when she sings different theme songs! And the speciality about her?! Singing in mask! I mean who avoids letting everyone know and indentify them clearly when they are this popular?! His curiosity made him decide this!
Without much thinking, Choi nodded and parked the car! But when he was about go and purchase tickets for them soon after getting off the car, the man held his arm! "Where are you going?"
"To buy the tickets!"
He shook his head, "No need!"
"Then how can we...." Ajay raised his head and Choi followed his gaze, and then did he realise what he meant! Big Screen! The advantage of concerts!
"Let's just see everything through it, as of now buying tickets is waste of money!!" Choi nodded while he chuckled inward, if any of her fans gets to know about what he said just now, they really might end up fighting him!
They both found themselves a good place to stand and have a clear view of the screen while without getting caught by the securities who probably won't encourage free watching!
The stage was still empty yet he can hear some screams, but those all got skyrocketed when she finally arrived! He almost had to close his ears cause of those all screams! Well fans are fans!
While his gaze shifted to her, who just arrived! She wore a cocktail black dress in alliance of a black jacket and a black mask! Everything she wore was black including the shoes and the cap she wore, except her skin which was so fair, and her hair which was soft and silky! He can describe it just by looking at it from a far! No matter of how she hid her face through that mask, he can say, she is a beauty! Atleast the aura she carried demanded it!
He just kept watching her while she took over the mike and slowly started to sing and the screams just increased a bit more! He heard this song of her's previously, her album 'Exception!!', which is of one being independent at everything including his/her thoughts! Seeking no sympathy and attention, just going through the way one choose to! Promising's of not to stop no matter what's it to face, and making sure to see only good along with the struggles once you turn back to take a look at your journey!
But the one thing which he also noticed that, along with being motivated for future and being self-confident, it also seems loneliness! Craving to be alone!
While her voice was so tough, suiting the theme again, and the lines of the song that caught his attention;
'I am just an exception
And I don't need your attention
Proving myself to all around
Leave me alone!!'
This lines which almost touched him, he thought first two lines and second two lines were different, but when combined, it totally carried a whole different meaning! And the way she made the word 'Alone' sound too harsh, represents....pain?! What was that??
He didn't know, no one can as the one who can hear it can only feel it if the singer is good enough to make others feel what they can! Understanding it is a whole of a different thing!
Whatever it meant, he liked it, and no wonder she had this popularity!
As time passed by the song ended, she looked a little tired by using all that tough and rough voice, holding that mike and moving here and there, reaching each corner of the stage only to let her fans see her clearly! She was full of sweat! As soon as she completed, screams increased, and few staff arrived with water and tissue papers for her! She didn't have any water for herself but took tissues and cleaned her forehead!
"She indeed is that popular Little Star!!" said Choi all of a sudden while folding his hands!
Ajay looked at him, and then back to her, he chuckled while giving a shook, "Little Star? No Mr.Choi! She is a Rockstar!"
Choi looked at him confused but again not wanting to question him for which he won't answer, he focused back to the screen!
After few minutes, she held the mike again and now stood at the centre of the stage, soon the staff arranged a piano for her! Silence followed, and she started to speak!
"Good evening everyone! This is your Little Star!" again screams started!
She waved her hand, and started to speak again, "Thankyou for the immeasurable love you all choose to pour on me!! I am really glad to have this big family, all for myself!"
Fans just returned their love in screams again!
"Actually, this is the very first concert I am performing live in this city! And I wanted to say that, today I will be performing another song which is as of now completed but not recorded yet! I will be happy to let you guys know it's tune!"
The screen now started showing some fans faces, indeed everyone looked happy! He chuckled, he almost thought of it as a marketing strategy! Yet he was curious to listen the tune! Screen again showed her and he kept his gaze on her!
When she was done, she went and took a seat infront of the piano, and placed the mike in the stand nearing her mouth!
She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, opening her eyes, she let her fingers slowly dance on those chords, and everyone could now hear that tune!
It was so slow tuned at first, so like a lullaby, which needed a soft and soothing voice, which he wondered if she could now, as he just heard her sounding harsh in that song but this....really needed a soft one!
She didn't played much, as if only letting them know a glimpse of it's tune as a preview of her song, and soon she ended and stood! He though standing outside, could hear all those praises and screams! He almost smiled, she was great! He always was fond of finding rare talents, while here was the rare jewel!
He almost thought of her working with him, how good it would be?! She really would be a help and more than that, his hope!! He almost laughed at his own thoughts, but as if bringing him back to the reality, his mobile rang and he lifted it! Choi looked at him attending the call, and saw his lips curving up a little, he hung the call while saying 'Okay!'
Ajay soon after hanging up the call, with a glimpse of smile, looked at her in that big screen, "Uncle Choi! What did you say about what do we need to change our future??!"
He looked confused, "Uhm...luck?!"
He looked at him now, "I think we found it now!!"
