The Concert

The morning sun cast a golden hue over us as Mukund and I settled into the plush seats of his father's car which looked like a SUV, it is one of the top 20 car's known for extravagance. We filled the trunk with an eclectic mix of clothes, snacks, and a palpable excitement for our adventure ahead. The engine roared to life, and with an exhilarated laugh, Mukund slammed the accelerator down—the car beneath us took off, gliding over the well-paved roads like a bird chasing the dawn.

As we embarked on our journey to Bhagyam, the landscape unraveled before us. Lush fields bathed in the early light flanked both sides of the road, swaying gently in the cool breeze. I marveled at the undulating hills, dotted with vibrant wildflowers that danced under the sun's warming embrace. The view was nothing short of mesmerizing, and I allowed myself to revel in this beauty.

"Do you ever think about how far we've come?" Mukund mused, a nostalgic glimmer in his eyes. "I mean, from those little kids in school to now—cruising in my dad's car on a Saturday morning."

"Sometimes it feels surreal," I replied, my heart swelling with gratitude. "But we're just getting started."

As we neared Bhagyam, the skyline emerged—shimmering and vibrant. Towering structures jutted toward the sky, their architecture a blend of contemporary design infused with hints of cultural heritage. Mukund grinned. "We're here!" he announced, maneuvering expertly through the flowing traffic, a testament to his driving skills.(i didn't drive cause i don't have driving license yet, in city the bike i drove is only in the small streets).

Once we reached the villa, excitement bubbled over. We unloaded the car, laughter punctuating our actions as we tossed the snacks and clothes inside. After a swift moment of organizing, we jumped back into the car, ready to explore the city.

We drove aimlessly, allowing the city to reveal its treasures. The streets were alive—vendors lining the sidewalks, selling colorful textiles and fragrant street food that wafted through the air, pulling us toward vendors hawking spicy samosas and sweet jalebis. Mukund's mouth watered. "We have to try everything!"

Our first pick was a small, bustling food stall known for its 'pancakes' made of 'tod' which a local speciality of bahgyam. The vendor, a jovial middle-aged man, greeted us enthusiastically. With plates piled high with the vibrant dish, we settled onto a bench under an tree.

After that for lunch we got to a restaurant named "The cozy corner of earth" where the various famous dishes of earth were present such as Biryani, Kebab, Ramen, Sushi, Taco e.t.c..,all dishes present here were the famous dishes of the earth, we only tried biryani and sushi, thinking of eating the other dishes next few days they will stay in this city.

The concert venue pulsated with an electric energy as we arrived, the air thick with anticipation and the distant sound of music reverberating through the night. The grand stage was adorned with cascading lights, shimmering like constellations against the velvety sky. Rows of eager faces illuminated by the glow of their phones, transformed the area into a sea of excitement, a vibrant tapestry of humanity bound by the promise of unforgettable melodies.

As we settled into our spots, the opening act began—a talented singer whose smooth voice floated over the crowd like a gentle breeze. His heartfelt ballads wove tales of love and loss, evoking a chorus of sighs and cheers. The audience swayed along, an entire community united in shared emotion, the rawness of the music connecting us in a fleeting moment where time seemed irrelevant. The energy was infectious; I found myself swept away, singing along, the collective voices wrapping around us like a warm embrace.

And then came Sophia. A hush fell over the crowd as she took the stage. Dressed in a flowing gown that caught the light, she projected a magnetic presence. Her smile was radiant, radiating warmth as she greeted the audience. The first notes of her performance soared through the air, rich and soulful, weaving a tapestry of sound that captivated every heart. It was as if she effortlessly anchored the crowd, pulling us into her world, where every lyric painted vivid emotions against the backdrop of a pulsating night.

Her voice—a blend of soothing and powerful—ran chills down my spine. I closed my eyes, allowing the music to wash over me like waves crashing against a shore. The lyrics were

-I felt a flutter in my heart while searching for my boyfriend.

-I became so overwhelmed that I hesitated to approach him.

-But did fate intervene?.

-I can't look away from you as we move to the music.

-Nee Pesa Light-ah Asa Kooda Vassam Veesum Katha, Thedae Azham Kuddida Meggam Thurida. which is a song from earth 21st century. It was one of the popular song's back then, now all the song's are remix of the past song mixing it with new language's of other planet's but still they give a refreshing feeling in every language.

Each song felt like a gentle caress, resonating with my experiences, evoking memories of sleepless nights and dreams yet to be fulfilled with sophia. Mukund, caught in the moment beside me, raised his hands in jubilant surrender, lost in her enchantment, and I couldn't help but join him, giving in to the euphoria that enveloped us.

As she sang, I noticed how she moved with the music, effortless and fluid. The light danced around her, accentuating her every move until it felt as though she was the very heartbeat of the concert itself. The crowd, her audience, was entranced, swaying and singing along, hearts beating in harmony. It felt as if our individual souls blended into a singular essence, an astonishing communion of spirit and song.

With each crescendo, we erupted into cheers and applause. I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes, overwhelmed by the moment and the illusion created by the song for me, it's truly wonderful.

And then come the final performance of the famous celebrity 'Tom' who came to sing the remix version of the Despacito and other song's which were also from the earth 20 and 21st century.

After the near completion of the event i got into the backstage with mukund by saying the name of his uncle, Thinking about how i will meet sophia after all the time nearly 7 year's, after reaching i started searching for sophia with mukund, we searched for a few minutes when i noticed muffled noice's coming from the store room. I gave a side-glance to mukund and both nodded at the same time.

We came to the front door and i connected my phone to the electronic lock system and unlocked it in 4 seconds, i gave a nod to Mukund and both kicked the door at the same time which startled the person's inside. There was a girl tied to a bed and had a plaster to her mouth, she looked like the Temari who was performing before sophia's performance, and two guys where one setted the camera and other was removing his clothes.

The girl dropped tears from her eyes when she saw us and said Heph,Heph(muffled voice) while struggling both of her hand's. We both looked at each other and shouted at the same time as the both guys were muscular and we were not their match, the camera holding guy ran towards us but i took a heavy and uneven object beside me which looked like a stage prop and hurled towards him.

The was directly a head shot he fell down with heavy bleeding on his face, and attracted to the shout the security and some staff came toward us after looking at the scene they subdued the other guy and helped the girl, they tied both the offender's and a staff informed the manager by which the event manager came running, after confirming every thing he was sweating bullet's over and investigated the two guys they were hired for working for cleaning but they also had a history of drug's and a murder.

After finding this all out the manager came to beg temari and said to compensate her and will make sure tht hit both the offender's will go to jail but requested to not to make the matter big as this was his career and any black spot will lead to disaster in his life.

After some internal discussion between them, the manager kept all in one room and said" no one will move from here until the show is finished and no one will call anyone" and turned on the jammer from his pocket.

I was thinking " shit man, not now of all times how can i meet sophia, i don't even have her number" then i looked at both the tied-up offender's with murderous intention's in my eyes as it was all happening because of them only.

Few hours passed and the show was finished and police came to the scene and questioned everybody, and also questioned us and made us write a Non-disclosure agreement with some compensation for us for all the inconvenience from the manager. Temari came to us and said thanks to us and added us to her we-chat and said if any help is needed they can tell her.

Then we came outside the looking at the night sky of the planet RED HEART, which was a bracing spectacle. A mosaic of deep, velvety indigo unfurled above us, speckled with luminous stars that twinkled like distant diamonds. The silence wrapped around us like a comforting shroud,grounding us in the moment and reminding us of the transient beauty of this night—the night that held the remnants of a concert, the thrill of rescue, and the dreams not yet realized. It was a night worth remembering
