Episode 3--- The twist

Episode 3--- The Twist 

As Ishaan walked back inside the hall and took his seat, it was time for the show to start, A soft Music played, in the background, as the curtains came up and the stage was seen set up with a village back drop, it was so typical, an old woman drying the clothes, while her husband sat on the wooden bed and read the paper. Ishaan rolled his eyes, he had pretty much understood that this is going to be one hell of a boring 2 hours; the starting of the play didn’t look promising at all, according to him, he continued to watch, as the old man and women conversed with each other the man screamed from the kitchen

Man: Sudha, Jaldi karo, Ladke Wale aate hi hogey (Sudha hurry up the Boys side will be here any minute)

Suddenly a young Girl appeared from behind, and Ishaan was shocked she was the same girl wearing the pink lengha, she was the same girl he met out, her hair was flying, she looked as if she was crying, her cheeks were puffy and her eyes were red, as she carried the tray out and placed it on the table in front of her father. He kept looking at her with amazement, there was something about her, he couldn’t put his finger on it, It was strange… He was shaken from his trance when he heard his sister squeal in excitement.

Pari: oh she is the same girl, isn’t she pretty?

Ishaan: same girl?? Pari what are u talking about (He asked confused)

Pari: She was in the previous play I watched She is the main actress Bhaya , She is really very good, I like her, but I don’t know her name

Ishaan: (still watching in his trance mumbled to himself) Sameera

At this point both Jai and Parisha looked at him startled as to how he knew her name, he looked back and gave them a non-caring looked, and said

Ishaan: what!!

They both nodded and continued to watch the play and Ishaan did the same although one thing is for sure. He now understood why she was practicing to cry, she was acting and she was the main actress in the play.

Through out the show his eyes rested on Sameera, and strangely he found himself enjoying the show, as he started to giggle every time something funny took place, his siblings were shocked beyond words to see their older brother laugh but neither of them said a word, because they knew the minute they would he would snap out of it and would get back to being his boring grumpy self.

The lights went off and the curtains dropped as the play got over, and the audience started to get up and leave, it was a huge success as people clapped for a mind blowing story and good acting, The 3 Mailkani siblings got up as well to leave the auditorium and head towards the car

Through out the car ride, Both Pari and Jai were quite, as they keenly observed Ishaan who was driving the car, there was absolute silence when pari decided to break it as she spoke

Pari: so Ishaan Bhaya you liked the play

Ishaan: it was ok, not that great

Jai: BHai you were laughing away, I think it was more than ok

Ishaan rolled his eyes at him.

Pari: Bhai just a question, how do you know that girls name

Ishaan: oh that, well I saw her crying outside

Jai: (spoke in a dramatic tone) CRYING!! Why would such a pretty girl cry (he asked in disbelief)

Pari: Ya why was she crying

Ishaan: She wasn’t crying she was practicing to cry, how weird is that

Jai and Parisha started to laugh, with the way he said it,  as they kept pulling his legs all through out the car ride. Finally when he dropped Pari home, he and Jai stopped by the hotel to check on things.

 Meanwhile Sameera was on cloud nine, as the show ended they got great response from the audience and people really enjoyed the show, lots of people noticed her and this was good, because she wanted this kind of recognition for her work in the theater society, Every one was busy changing and packing up the props, when Chandresh and Kartick walked in to greet them and congratulate them

Chandresh: Guys good show great job (he said proudly)

 Every one was smiling away and thanked him, Kartik hugged his daughter Sameera and said

Kartik: You were fantastic, Sam, You did a great job

Sameera: thanks dad, I am so happy we worked so hard for it

Chandresh: yes we did, and in fact we have a great offer in hand, because our play became such a hit we have been offered a spot in the Goa festival.. (He said with a big huge smile)

 Every one was so happy when they heard the news as they all hugged each other and rejoiced

Uttkarsh: wow that’s great,  I hear the goa festival is bigger than this

Sameera: yes it is (she said excited)

Mailka: I am so excited, and whats making me happier is that we are going to goa,

Kumar: yeah I know, its going to be fun

Sameera: wow we can party as well this is the best news ever

Chandresh: yes this is, and because we have done such a good job, I have decided to treat all of you at the Thai Palace, in Hotel Kingston ,

This was the icing on the cake, it was truly a time to celebrate and enjoy , Sameera was on top of the world, her hard work was starting to pay of and she now couldn’t wait for  the Goa festival
