Year 2020.. Corona took everyone in its grip.
Life was a challenge for everyone. Suhasini wandered how things woul shape up for her family. She and her son in Kolkata, daughter in Mumbai and husband in Odisha.
Month..May..
Suhasini sat by the window of her room and got engulfed into her thoughts. Past two months she got a lot of time to think about herself and her life. She was looking for something to give her existence meaning. What she couldn't place it.
Her profession took a new turn, from offline it shifted to online and Suhasini's learning doors opened. It was a whole new concept for her. She enjoyed it.
She craved for more.
One day her husband suggested a singing app to her. She asked him why did he suggested it to her. He said 'you love to sing, why not start here!' Suhasini was surprised because Shubh never bothered about her singing before. She didn't say anything. She then remembered she did have an account in the app years ago.
She downloaded the app immediately.
She was thrilled to recover her account.
Suhasini at once realised what she was searching for. She rediscovered her passion for music.
She sang to her heart in the app. Slowly she made her mark and made some friends. Rohit became a good friend here. She also met a group of good singers here. Out of them Ashu ji and Koyal were her good friends. Rohit took good care of Suhasini. Both of them sang quite a few songs together. Ashu ji gave her special attention. Suhasini was had a unique voice quality and was an elegant lady. Not only did people appreciate her singing but her looks also captivated people. Ashu ji and Rohit too were among them.
Now it was this group where she enjoyed singing. Koyal Prachi Rohit Ashu ji Prasad ji Shalini and a few more.
September 2020..
Suhasini now a queen for everyone! She was very happy and shined whenever she sang. Suddenly Rohit brought Ajji. Ajji's entry changed a lot of things for Suhasini. Rohit became indifferent to her.
She was insulted by Ajji couple of times.
Koyal and Ashu ji supported her. Suhasini left the app. Ashu ji inspired her to sing again.
October..
Ashu ji again insisted her and asked her not to kill the music inside her. He took her to a different world of music, a new app.
Suhasini took off again. She started singing again here.
One day she was looking for some of her favourite songs.
And guess what!!!! Suhasini was awestruck!!
She not only got the song she was looking for but came across someone of whom she couldn't take her eyes off.
His voice captured her soul and his eyes mesmerized Suhasini. She sang the song with him.
She told herself that day..this man she wanted.
Suhasini thought for sometime was it right for her to want someone like madness.
But her desires barred her thinking.
To her dismay this dream come true man did not budge.
She waited for him to sing with her or take notice of her, follow her.
This man made her forget that she was married, mother of two. Suhasini felt she was in her teens.
She continued singing but everytime she sang, she took a glimpse of him.
She was getting lot attention from others but she was stuck on him.
Suhasini talked to Amrita about him. Amrita, Suhasini's confidant and advisor. Suhasini told her how she was getting everyones attention but she longed for this man.
Amrita advised her to stay away from certain people at this point of time. She could feel Suhasini getting carried away.
Suhasini's dream man did not pay any attention to her. This made her angry cause she could see him singing with others.
In her anger she made a mistake.
She started talking to someone who was going to put her into trouble. Amrita warned her again and again.
Suhasini in a bid to forget Udbhav..the dream man, lost a bit of her sensible thinking.
She knew she was at fault but she couldn't help the situation.
December...
Suhasini had managed to push back Udbhav 's thought. But the worst was waiting for her.
Amrita's warning came true. Suhasini kicked out the stupid man she was talking to like they say..दूध में से मक्खी की तरह उठाकर फेंक देना।
She understood it had to be Udbhav or no one. She took it in her stride that she wouldn't get Udbhav.
January 2021..
Suhasini couldn't believe what happened.
Udbhav was there. He took notice of her and sang with her, followed her.
Suhasini was thrilled but decided not to show it.
He started interacting with her. Suhasini now told herself 'Keep your head on your shoulders girl'.
She was having a tough time keeping control on herself.
She told Amrita about it. She told Suhasini to talk to him.
Udbhav was sweeping Suhasini off her feet.
She could feel something happening to her.
Udbhav was very vocal about his feelings to Suhasini.
Part 2 soon...
