The principal followed shivansh's gaze his eyes landing on the room in question " ah , that's the practice room " he replied his voice low and soothing
Just then a peon approach the principal , whispering something in his ear the principal nodded thoughtfully , his expression turned contemplative
Turning to ayansh rudra and shivansh he said " you can take a look if you'd like, I'll join you shortly " Shivansh face broke into a warm smile " okay no problem we'll take a look " he said his voice filled with anticipation
The principal smiled back with that he was about to leave he turned to ayansh rudra ans Shivansh and said " you all will go through the back door , as the students will be practicing and there are also sitting arrangements then you can sit there without being noticed and the students will be able to practice without any distractions " with that the principal walk away with the peon , leaving the three of them to follow his instructions

Three of them took their seats sinking into the plush chair as they settled in ayansh couldn't help but feel a sense of relief was over him the tension and frustration he had felt earlier seemed to melt away replaced by a sense of calm and focus he glanced over at rudra and shivansh who were chatting quietly their faces animated with excitement

---------------------------
Professor sinha sat in the practice room his stern gaze fixed on aryan dev and vihaan who stood in front of him, each holding a cup of coffee " piyo piyo tum sub aaram se coffee piyo or practice main kar leta hu " professor sinha said his voice firm but to tinged with frustration
Aryan with a sheepish expression locked down and mumbled " sir aap kon se gaane par practice karenge bata dijiye main wo ganna baja deta hu " vihaan and dev exchanged a knowing glance their eyes sparkling with amusement as they struggle to control their laughter
Meanwhile ayansh rudra and shivansh watched the scene unfold their faces reflecting their amusement shivansh turned to rudra with a grin " this guy is just like me " shivansh said and rudra face broke into a smirk as he replied " sahi kaha tune ekdam teri hi tarah dheet hai " ayansh joined in passing a knowing glance at shivansh
Shivansh composure was short - lived however he shot ayansh and rudra a mock-anger glance before refocusing his attention on professor sinha and the trio
" chup ho jao batmeez or wo tino tufan aaj bhi late hai hey bhagwan kya karu main insub ka kaha hai wo tino bulao unhe jaldi " professor sinha exclaimed rising from his chair in frustration
Just then the door swung open and kritika and shivi walked in kritika dramatically declared " sir aapne buliya or hum chale aaye "
" aaiyea aapka intezaar tha " aryan dev and vihaan chimed in unison their voice filled with mock enthusiasm
Professor sinha glared at the trio his eyes narrowing in annoyance the three boys immediately fell silent
However rudra and shivansh couldn't take their eyes off the kritika and shivi ayansh noticed their fascination and turned at them asking " why are you two staring at them like that "
Rudra and shivansh snapped back to reality and rudra replied nonchalantly " nothing bhai nothing " ayansh nodded but he wasn't convinced by their respond
" ek aati hai to ek nahi ab wo tisri tufan kaha hai " professor sinha asked shivi and kritika his voice laced with impatient
Just then ayesha burst into the practice room her hands on her knees as she gasped for breath " sir sir sir hum yaha hai " she exclaimed
" wahhhh bari jaldi aa gyi tum to " professor sinha observed, his eyes fixed on ayesha
Ayesha opened her mouth to respond but professor sinha cut her off " don't tell me the same excuse again, let's get started with the practice already " his tone was stern brooking no argument
Meanwhile ayansh watched ayesha with an intense gaze his eyes lingering on her, as memories of their confrontation in the corridor flooded his mind but before rudra and shivansh could notice his fascination he swiftly masked his expression returning to a neutral demeanor while still keeping his gaze fixed on ayesha
" ayesha where were you, it took you so long to get here " shivi asked her voice laced with concern and hint of annoyance
" come on let's go or he'll start yelling again " ayesha replied, grabbing shivi and kritika's hand pulling them along
" alright kritika and aryan let's get started " professor sinha instructed his eyes scanning the room
Just as Kritika and aryan were about to head to the stage, a boy entered the room with a mischievous grin " sir ruhi ma'am is calling you " he said, he smile suggesting he knew something that other didn't
Professor sinha's face lit up with a warm smile upon hearing the news " really I'll be right there " he said rising from his chair
He turned to the students his expression reverting to it's usual seriousness " you'll continue with your practice I'll be back " he said before hurrying out of the room leaving the students to their rehearsals
" shadishuda hote hue bhi ruhi ma'am par line par rhe hai pata nhi aaj Kal ke buddhe apne aap ko kya samajhte hai "
Vihaan said making a face his tone laced with amusement and disdain
Everyone burts out laughing at Vihaan's comment their faces lighting up with mirth but before the laughter die down shivi chimed in " alright let's get back to practice " the room fell silent , with all eyes turning to shivi
" hum sub 15 din se practice kar rhe hai or kitna kare sarir main bhi khoon ke jagah practice daur rha hai " kritika chimed in looking at shivi with a hint of frustration then turning to aryan said " aryan humara wlaa gaana laga to "
" ye bari achi baat kahi aapne " dev exclaimed looking at kritika with a grin
" practice room soundproof hai to gaane ki awaz bahar nhi jayegi lekin agar wo chola sir aa gye to " ayesha asked a note of concern creeping into her voice
Before anyone can respond aryan placed a reassuring hand on ayesha's should " don't worry i'm here na " he said his voice his calm and soothing
Just then vihaan yelled out " machhar kaha hai tu jaldi aa " a boy appeared in front of vihaan and vihaan instructed him to stand guard at the gate and alert them when professor sinha arrived
" ab thik hai " aryan asked to ayesha turning to her with a smile, ayesha nodded happily her eyes sparkling with amusement
" vihaan ja meri playlist laga kar aa " dev said handing his phone to vihaan, vihaan took the phone and started playing the playlist suddenly the practice room was filled with the upbeats rhythm of music
As the energetic tunes echoed through the room everyone's excitement was palpable ayesha shivi and kritika wrapped their dupattas around their heads their faces lighting up with enthusiasm shivi pulled out the more dupattas from her bag and handed them to aryan dev and vihaan the boys wrapped the duppata around their heads embracing their inner divas
Haa sun re sajanwa re sun re balamwa laga ke kalajwa jo maano to sir ji
Humri hai arzi ke sone ka jhumka humka dilwayi de raaja
The boys started singing the lines meant for the girls in the song and playfully swapping roles and adding a fun twist of the music
Gadar hai re gori jawani ye tohri to ab ye suno ri jo maanga tha jhumka
Ou hum de tumka magar ek thumka humka dikhlayi de raani
And the girls started singing the line meant for the boys in the song the girls playfully turned them pretending to be boys the room was filled with laughter and music as everyone let loose and enjoyed the moment The atmosphere was carefree and joyful with everyone lost in the rhythm and camaraderie
They were all lost in the moment, dancing with unbridled joy and enthusiasm However unbeknownst to them three pairs of eyes were watching from afar Shivansh and Rudra were watching with utter astonishment their faces a picture of disbelief. Ayansh too was taken aback but he quickly composed himself hiding his surprise
Turning to Shivansh and Rudra Ayansh said with a hint of amusement, " muh band karo tum dono ek dam joker jaise lag rhe ho " His words snapped Shivansh and Rudra back to reality "Bhai, I... I don't know what to say I'm speechless," Shivansh stammered
"Me too," Rudra chimed in, still looking utterly bewildered Ayansh glanced at both of them but remained silent his expression unreadable
Lost in the rhythm they were dancing with abandon when suddenly the music came to an abrupt halt Everyone froze in place their hearts racing with a mix of fear and anticipation They thought Professor Sinha might have arrived and stopped the music
Summoning their courage they slowly turned around and as they did a collective sigh of relief escaped their lips. Instead of the dreaded professor Kritika stood before them a mischievous glint in her eyes. She was the one who had stopped the music
Aryan strode up to Kritika his expression a mix of annoyance and amusement "are tu pagal hai kya abhi hum sub ko heart attack aa jata to agar music hi band karna tha to bata kar karti na hume laga sir aa gye " Aryan exclaimed his words tumbling out in a rush
" are ab bol bhi kyu kiya tune music band muh main dahi jam gya kya tere " Ayesha, Dev, Vihaan, and Shivi chimed in unison, their eyes fixed on Kritika with a mixture of curiosity and amusement
Kritika glanced at aryan with a casual smirk and said " iski to playlist hi bekar hai, har baar ek hi gaane par dance kar ke bore nahi ho gye ho tum sub "
" wait i'm going to play my playlist now " kritika said her fingers dancing across her phone screen as she switched to a different song
Everyone looked at her in confusion their eyes locked into kritika with anticipation wondering what kind of song she was going to play
And then before they could react further the practice room was once again filled with the sound of music the notes and beats swirled around them teasing their sense and piquing their curiosity
As the music washed over them everyone turned to kritika their faces lighting up with surprise and excitement
" bhojpuri song " they exclaimed in unison their voice rising above the music
Kritika nodded her head a smile playing on her lips as she made her way back to the stage
Ailuha kake marriage dola tha kamar
Damage dekh ke tohar beauty humar
Brain ho jata haemorrhage
Aryan dev and vihaan steeped forward their feet tapped out the rhythm as they began to dance they were completely in sync their movement fluid
Aryan was spinning around , dev was bobbling his head and vihaan was busting out some impressive footwork
Ka kahin ketna saiyan kaile ba more
Sajaiya dhoon dehla deh raate jaise
Rajiyea cheel dele dehiya musallam
Balamuwa ke ballam
Balamuwa ke ballam
Balamuwa ke ballam
Ayesha shivi and kritika stepped forward their eyes shining with excitement ayesha moved to dev's side kritika fell into step beside vihaan and shivi positioned herself next to aryan together the three pair began to dance and sing along to the song
The six friends were dancing together their hands clasped together as they spun and twirled to the rhythm of the song, aryan and shivi were laughing together, dev and ayesha were dancing perfectly sync, vihaan and kritika were busting out some impressive moves
" what the hell is kind of song " shivansh exclaimed , rising from his chair and gazing at the group dancing on stage with a mixture of amusement and disdain " I've never heard a song like this before " shivansh turned to rudra and ayansh his voice slightly raised
Ayansh was making a weird face watching the group with a look of confusion and distaste rudra on the other hand his eyes wide open and his mouth agasp taking in the bizarre scene before him
" bhai zinda ho ya mar gye " shivansh asked placing a hand on rudra's should his tone laced with sarcasm
Rudra eyes snapped back into focus and he quickly shut his mouth his eyelids fluttering rapidly as he tried to process what he was seeing ayansh expression also returned to normal through his annoyance was still palpable
" are they going to dance like this throughout the function " shivansh asked his voice laced with incredulity as he watched the group continue to dance wildly on stage
" this is ridiculous " ayansh muttered under his breath
Shivansh shook his head slowly in disbelief then principal appered his presence commanding attention " ah gentleman you're still here " principal said his voice is warm " let's head to the office the function about to start "
The three of them stood up casting a glance at the stage before following principal out of the room as they walked they couldn't help but steal a one last look the group with abandon completely lost in the music .
