The Reality Show-ed.

Hello friends, I am fuddled again and today I am quite high. So for the first time I am trying to write something sensible. It's a story an that too an emotional one. Though I am unaware about the proper ways of story telling but I want to give it a try. So here it is:



"Tomorrow is the grand finale of the competition" Kabir was thinking. It was his big chance to make it large and worth living. He had this dream since he was a little kid and now the day has arrived. He was excited but nervous too at the same time. He already had his practice session with the music director provided by the production house of the show.
He decided to take a quick nap before rehearsal again just to relax a bit. He started thinking about the life which was awaiting for him. "I am going to be rich and all my dreams will come true after tomorrow" and this thought just stimulated him.

He was jaunting in this land of dreams, suddenly Ashmita, the other finalist, his only opponent and the only obstacle in the way of his success entered in his room.
Kabir had a secret crush on her since they first met at the show. He loved her passion for singing. They were both in the spotlight since the show began so slowly slowly as they got to know each other they became good friends. Kabir never told her about his secret feelings for the sake of the friendship and he was bit low on confidence. He belonged to a typical Indian middle class family, a father unable to work, a young sister and a complaining mother. On the other hand Ashmita belonged to a wealthy family. She was pretty, confident and a talented girl, so Kabir somewhere in his head had this thing that "I am not good enough for her, she will never chose me".

Ashmita broke the silence of the room as she said "Excited? Han Kabir?".

Kabir was kinda surprised to see her in his room this so he had to act normal but he did well and replied quite calmly "Yep, but a bit nervous too, how about you?"

Ashmita: Yeah, but I am more of a nervous than excited.
Kabir: How? This was your dream?
Ashmita: Yes, but I know I am gonna lose tomorrow.
Kabir: Be optimistic, you are a good singer, don't ruin it please.
Ashmita: Seriously, I know you will win, everyone knows you are a better singer than me. I am here in the finale because of public voting which my family managed. Now it all depends on me.

Her eyes were full of tears while she was saying this, she continued: And I know you will sing better than me and you will win. My dream will shatter and I'll have to go back and live the typical "GIRLY" life. My father gave me this last opportunity to perform on a platform like this, if I don't succeed this time I'll have to marry his friend's son. I was too stupid to accept papa's terms and conditions. Now she was crying literally.

Kabir was in a shock, he always seen Ashmita as a confident happy go lucky kinda girl but this was new for him. He finally decided to tell her about his family's conditions, like how it was his last chance too to fulfill his dream.

But she refused to understand, But you are a guy Kabir, there is a difference. You won't understand Kabir. I know I will never achieve what I wanted in life. And I know it's totally my fault. I was feeling devastated in my room and I had to share it with someone. Sorry, if I disturbed you, I didn't mean to.

She was about to leave the room.
"No no, it's okay. And please stop crying and don't feel bad. You will win" Kabir said with a fake smile on his face.

All night he was thinking about this incident, he couldn't sleep a minute. But at the end of the day he had something in his head which made him happy.

THE FINALE:

This was it, the judges called both the contestants on the stage. Both looked at each other. Ashmita stll looked deplorable, Kabir was smiling.
It was Ashmita's chance to sing first, Kabir went to the backstage. Ashmita sang well, all three judges were happy with her performance but they thought it was not as good as they expected.

Now it was Kabir's turn, he came on to the stage but refused to sing. Everyone was stunned there. All the judges, hosts and production people tried to convince him but he was stuck to his decision.

In the end they announced Ashmita as the winner of the show, because Kabir's sudden and unexpected back off.
Ashmita was so happy when she hold that big trophy and a check of 5 million. Kabir was also happy because somewhere in his head he knew "I also won something today, something even more bigger than my dreams".

In the evening when they were about to leave for their homes Kabir decided to express his feelings about her, he thought this would be the perfect time to propose her. When Ashmita was in her room and receiving a lot of congratulation calls from her friends and family, Kabir slowly walked into her room.
After a few minutes when she hung the phone, Kabir proposed her, he was on his knees and with all the courage he had, he said "Would you like to date me ma'am?".

Ashmita seemed prepared for it, she reacted immediately and replied "But I don't date LOSERS".

Stun silence, but broken soon by Ashmita's phone. Kabir was now leaving her room exhausted, destroyed and out of emotions. He heard her for the last time, she was talking on the phone "Yes my love, I WON".
