Time was running forward in its own track and I was not able to move even for an inch. Planned for starting a study from January, but when I opened my eye, I found myself diving in the last week of Jan. Our exam was going to be conducted from March first and I had hardly one month to study. I was preparing myself to start studying to at least pass the class anyhow, but at the very moment, the biggest diversion knocked my door. Farewell for twelfth class. As it was a ritual coming from long back, we students from eleventh have to arrange farewell for our seniors. That Karim, who was trying to focus on books, now closed it and started preparing for farewell.
We have decided that everyone has to do something, either we have to take part in the programs or have to work as a caterer for serving food. There were lots of extra stuff too, like handling money matters, inviting others, etc. Everyone started picking jobs which suits them and I nominated myself for being the anchor of the program. Being a host, I had to work in preparing scripts and making them better by adding shayaris and quotations. Everyone was doing and giving their best. None of them kept in mind that exams are on the way. Me and my friends used to roam every corner of preparations to check how they are doing. And on the very first day of starting practice, I found Shaina being a member of Dance crew. It was after a long time I saw Shaina taking part in dance. The first time I saw her dancing when I was in the eighth standard. She and her crew danced on 'Nagaade' song from Ramleela movie. I still remember that whole performance as It was very difficult for me to even blink my eye. She was brilliant and even after her performance, though I didn't talk to her directly, but texted her on Facebook about how good she was.
I thought that it was her first and last time and so I was thinking about what she would choose to do in this farewell. I felt really great as for the second time, my eyes gonna get a treat again. I came out of the room as I didn't want to ruin my suspense about what the performance would look like. I was also being asked to take part in that dance crew with Shaina but I never danced before and thus I didn't want to trouble them.
We continued preparations and time passed with a high acceleration, dropping us on the final day. I was nervous for my own part, but excited to see the group dance performance. Due to certain reasons, the event's starting time was delayed and thus we planned to eat first and then start the program.
After everyone had lunch, the program started with delivering my first part as a host, I felt relieved. Pinki was there with me as a cohost. It was now looking easy for me to continue. Slowly the events were going ahead with our pauses and that direction finally dropped us in the dance performance. It was my last part as further good bye part was going to be delivered by Pinki. So after announcing the dance performance, I came down from the stage, and took a place near the front corner of the stage. Whole group climbed the stage and I saw Shaina there in the middle of them, with a black top and red lehenga. That day, I was busy before with my rehearsals and thus it was my first time seeing her in that dress. She was looking gorgeous.
Dance performance continued and I ignored everyone near her until it came to a duet. I found a classmate of mine being her partner. Though I was jealous but I can't spill out a word as I myself have taken my steps back before, from participating in that performance. She had to choose someone from the available boys who were dancing. For a moment, I wished I could have agreed that day. #story#Motivation#yqbaba#yqquotes#longform#kclongforms#welcominggoodbye
