She picked up the phone and cried.As I wasn't with her, I didn't know what had happened.
"What happened? Why are you crying?"
"It's that my grandpa is not well and he has been admitted to the hospital. What will I do now?"
"Wait for me where are you now?"
"I'm in GHV hospital."
"Just five minutes wait for me at the doorway down okay and don't cry. I will be there for you."
I packed my things and headed to the hospital but my mind was full of confusion. Can I tell her about my show with Alex today, the songs, or should I stay with her?
I saw Manvi waiting for me in the doorway as I reached the hospital. She hugged me as I entered the hall.
"Alen I don't know what to do now."
"Manvi it's alright... Okay nothing will happen."
I know how much she likes her grandpa. I have not seen him but whenever we are on a date she talks about her grandpa so much.
I stayed with her for a while. It didn't take long for Alex to send me a message telling me to get ready for the flight. Another thought crossed my mind as I asked.
"Manvi I want to tell you about something. I don't know if it's the right time to share it with you but you need to know. During the meeting with Alex, he asked me to join him on the next tour tomorrow. Therefore, I need to leave tonight. If you want me to stay, I will because now you are my priority."
Please don't do this to me. I don't want to be apart from you, but I know how hard it has been for you to have this opportunity. You should leave, I'm okay and I want you succeed."
I was relieved that she understood my likes and was ready to sacrifice. Having a girl like her makes me wonder what I deserved. I find that sometimes she is more mature than I am, despite the fact that she is childish.
I packed my things and said goodbye to Manvi even though I didn't want to leave, but she kept pestering me to leave. I promised her to call her daily and update on the news. Even though she was sad, she smiled to make me feel less pressured.
I arrived at the airport and saw Alex standing there. By seeing his face I understood that I missed something.... Oh hell I forgot to send the music with all those thoughts in my head I missed it.
"Alex I'm so sorry that I forgot to send the hard copy to you but I have taken it with me."
"What happened Alen? Why are you so tensed? I know you forgot but it doesn't matter if you are there, I know you will make the song and our flight is delayed for half an hour so I would like to listen to the song now if you don't mind."
"Yes sir it's always ready."
"I have told you not to call me sir just call me Alex that way I can be more than a boss to you. I want to be your friend so you don't feel pressured"
"Okey Alex and I would be more pleased to do it. If you need to change anything in the tuning you should tell me."
Then I started to play the song he was immensely listening to as he was lost in the song and the next moment.
"Alen it's that I don't think anything is okay it's my opinion about the song"
" It's okay you have full rights to tell me that. Just do it ahead and tell me."
"It's fantastic alen I didn't think you would do this incredible work within a limited time you really am a gifted person I am more than happy that I didn't make any mistakes by selecting you. I think we will win."
" Thank you sir."
Soon the announcement was made that our flight was ready to depart. It's my first time leaving my city on a plane.
I was excited about the whole journey. Through Alex, I was guided on how to improve the timing. Besides these things, I was more concerned about Manvi than anything else. I didn't feel right to leave her behind at this very moment where she needed me more. But it's a 4 day festival and I will return soon. I will spend more time with her to help her.
Thinking about it made me realise how much she liked me.
The time has passed and we have reached our destination. It was almost night time in Bangkok and the view was so breathtaking
