When Ravindra looked at his phone, his dark face immediately brightened up. It was the main star of this event. He immediately picked up the phone.
"Hello. Sir, I am outside the main entrance of the company. Can you come and pick me up?"
"Yeah. Yeah, sure. Just wait a minute there. I'm on my way to pick you up."
"Alright. I'm hanging up."
"Ok."
As soon as the phone hung up, Ravindra dashed straight towards the main entrance of the company to pick up the main star of the event.
As for why I am constantly saying 'main star' is because that guy is a local celebrity. He has quite a number of fans in Delhi. And as for what he does? He is a singer. His singing has captured hearts of many people and seeing the popularity growth of this little star, Arjun had contacted him so that he can sing in this event. 'Now that he has come, he could easily snatch Om's limelight.' Ravindra thought darkly in his heart. He couldn't bear to see Om being in a limelight.
After a minute, he was back at the auditorium with a young man of about 28-29 years of age. He had a guitar case hanging on his back. He wore Black jeans and blue T-shirt which had a person holding a mic printed on it. He had quite a handsome face. He was also around 180 cm in height. His name was Arnav Bhadana.
[A.N- Arnav is a Hindu name from the Sanskrit word (अर्णव) meaning "ocean, foaming sea, and/or agitated water such as a stream or wave".]
When Arnav entered the auditorium, he expected all the people to be eagerly waiting for him and when he enters he will be welcomed with a thunderous round of applause, but what he saw left his in a state of confusion. He saw everyone was laughing very hard and some people were even rolling on the ground. This was totally out of his expectation.
Even coming late to this event was his plan because he loved seeing people's eager expressions when he arrives at the scene. He loved the feeling when he step on the 'faces' of the people but they still welcome him happily. But seeing that no one was paying any attention to him, anger started burning in his heart. He looked around and saw Ravindra eyeing towards the stage as if saying 'Look there. The culprit is standing on the stage'. As Arnav turned around and looked at the stage, he saw a young man of about 27-28 years old, standing on the stage, holding the mic and making some gestures and speaking something which made the already laughing crowd to laugh even more loudly.
He immediately understood that it was this guy who had stolen his limelight. Suddenly, he started walking towards the stage. As he neared the stage, more and more people started noticing him. Even the boss, Arjun had noticed that Arnav had come.
Very soon, he walked up the stage and rudely snatched the mic from Om's hand. Om was startled. He was so into his performance that he didn't notice a young man coming onto the stage. When Om turned to look at Arnav, he saw a guitar case hanging on his back and he immediately understood that he was the main star Arjun had called for earlier. Even if he was the main star of the event and a local celebrity, but it was still rude to snatch the mic from someone who was still performing. But when he realized that he was called by Arjun, he swallowed what he was about to say and turned towards the crowed.
Everyone was silent at this moment. Even they were shocked seeing these turn of events. Before they were even able to react they heard Om's loud voice resounding throughout the auditorium, "Thank you everyone for listening. I have done my part and now it is this young man's turn to entertain you guys. I'll be leaving now. Thank you once again."
And then, Om came down the stage and started walking out of the auditorium. Seeing all this, Ravindra was feeling very gleeful in his heart. This was the desired result that he had wanted to see. But before he could even think of anything, he heard a shout.
"Hey! Come back. You have not told us the whole incident."
"Yeah! Come back and tell us everything."
"Come back once more. I have not laughed enough."
"Yeah! Come back!"
"Come back"
"Come back"
"Come back"
At this moment, the words 'Come back' was resounding throughout the whole auditorium. It was not one person, nor two, but the whole crowd was shouting 'Come back' at this moment. These shouts made Arnav's face to darken. His whole body started trembling out of anger. 'Is he the star or I am? Is he the one you called for or was it me? It should be me receiving all the applause and these shouts, then why is that he is the one receiving all this?' Arnav thought angrily in his heart.
Ravindra also didn't expect everyone to shout like this. His face was also very unsightly as if he had swallowed a fly. Even Arjun didn't expect it. His eyebrows wrinkled a bit because of these shouts.
When Om heard the shouts of people calling him back, his footsteps stopped and his body shuddered but after a moment he continued walking and slowly went out of the auditorium as if he hadn't heard those shouts.
First of all, this was the event that was organized by Arjun. The young man standing on the stage was a local star that Arjun had called for. But because the young man had been late, Arjun had temporarily allowed Om to entertain these guests. But, the rightful 'owner' of the stage was still Arnav. Even if he was feeling a bit indignant, he couldn't just shout at the young man that 'Get down the stage you m*therf*cker. I haven't said enough.', right? So, Om gave up on the idea to talk to Arjun to let Arnav wait for a few minutes.
Even though Om's soul had become the host of this body now, but some of the previous owner's habits had also started to influence Om's judgement. The optimistic thinking of the previous owner had been inherited by Om now. And because of this, he also started thinking a bit positively.
