"Di! Did you checkout the latest news?" an excited Bulbul came running to her sister..

"What's it Bul?"

"Your Rockstar is coming to Dubai for a concert this weekend!"

"WHATAREYOUSAYING?", Pragya asked,dropping her pencil and turning towards Bul.

"Purvi just told me..News got out today and it's all over FB and Twitter already..I am surprised you don't know yet"

"OH My God!!! This is the best news in ages! I have been stuck with this project from morning na so haven't checked my phone..!",she replied,extremely thrilled about the news.

Pragya Arora was a die hard fan of rockstar Abhishek Mehra..Her family was in India till few years back and they moved to Dubai because of her dad's transfer. She completed her schooling in Dubai and is now studying architecture..

She happened to hear Abhi's first album in her friend's place and had fallen in love with his voice right then..After that, she made it a point to get all his albums the day they released,even if she had to get up early in the morning and go wait outside the DVD shop,to avoid the long queue   (God ! he did have a lot of fans from all over the world!  )

She knew all his interviews by heart   She even had a big poster of him in her room

Her family was well aware of her love for the rockstar and they didn't mind it either. ..Bulbul was more into sports and she was a national level badminton player during her school days .. She had recently joined badminton coaching here and loved it. She liked Abhi's songs but was not as big a fan of his, as her Di was.

Her Di reacted exactly how Bulbul expected her to 

"So, when are you gonna book tickets?"

"Is that even a question Bul? Right now! Is Purvi coming?"

"Of course!",Bulbul said with a wide grin. Purvi was their neighbour and more like their sister..She had been in Dubai for a long time and helped the Arora sisters when they were new to the place..She came over to Bul's place or vice versa most of the times..The parents were happy that their kids found such good friends here..

The day of the concert arrived and Pragya didn't know what to wear.

"Di! Two hours ! Two long hours you have been looking at your clothes,trying to decide what to wear! What's the big deal Di? Koi shaadi nahi hai yeh..Abhi ka concert hai and you are just going to stand there and cheer for him..we have to be there in half an hour" a frustrated Bulbul told her sister..

"Bul! I am going to meet him FINALLY and you act as if its insignificant ",her Di replied ,pouting..

"Are you going on a date with him?"

Pragya's face fell and she replied with a small "No"...she knew Bul was right though and they were getting late too..

Bul felt guilty for making her darling Di sad and tried to make amends by helping her select a dress.."Okay Di. The white dress..you look damn pretty in that one"

Pragya gave her a wide smile .."Hai na ? Yay thanks Bul..Be right back", she said and went to change..

"Phew! Finallly!", Bulbul muttered and left the room shouting, "Don't forget the photo frame Di",to check if Purvi was ready.

The trio reached the venue few minutes early...It was almost full already..This was the first time Abhi was performing in Dubai and apparently,not a single fan of his wanted to miss it 

Few minutes later,the crowd started to cheer loudly and Pragya turned to see her hero on the stage !

"Abhiii I love you!", she shouted just like a lot of other female fans there..Fortunately for her,she was standing right below the stage,in the front row and when Abhi came to the front of the stage , she raised her hand and he touched it,giving her a wide grin..

"Omg Omg Omg Bul Did you see that?!!", Abhi heard the girl in white scream excitedly and was satisfied with the effect he had on a girl as beautiful as her..

It was time to perform and Abhi's thoughts kept going back to his fan's eyes and her wide smile...He was not sure what love at first sight felt like but he knew this feeling was new..

He heard the music start and he sang 'Happy Love' and few other songs from his albums and his eyes voluntarily seemed to look for her reactions,for every song..She was thoroughly enjoying the concert and cheering loudly and he felt like he had accomplished something big,he didn't know why though..

He continued singing some movie songs -'Allah Waariyan','Mein tenu samjawan' and many others..The crowd went crazy and the concert was a big hit.. 

Pragya was elated because her hero seemed to look at her and smile every now and then..She couldn't stop smiling even after the last song,though she felt sad that the concert was over..

Abhi turned and saw her one last time and smiled broadly before whispering something to Akash and going backstage..Akash had his eyebrows raised and a small smile played on his lips.."Oh I see! Way to go Bhai", he muttered to himself and went to do what his Bhai had asked him to.

"Bul..I so want to get his autograph!!",Pragya declared , making a puppy face ..

"Di , why don't we try to go backstage ? We can maybe request his..", before she could complete the sentence ,she saw a man approaching them.

"Di", she tried to signal Pragya to look behind her..

"Excuse me Miss", Pragya turned to see someone addressing her.."Yes?"

"I am Akash Mehra, Abhishek Mehra's brother and manager..He wants to meet you"

Pragya was not sure if he heard him right.."He what?"

"Bhai wants to meet you..he is in his room backstage"

The girls were surprised and Pragya was going through a lot of emotions.."okay let's go girls", she turned and told her sisters..

"Sorry..just you miss",Akash intervened and Pragya tried to protest .."They are his fans too"

"Di it's okay!! Please go , we will wait here! Don't forget the photo frame!", Bulbul said and Purvi nodded smiling.."Yeah Di! Tell him how much we love him"

Pragya felt bad that they couldn't come but decided to convey their message. She asked Akash to lead the way..

Akash showed Pragya the room and closed the door behind him.

Pragya was alone with him,the rockstar,her hero. She had dreamed of this day ,A LOT actually,but now that it had arrived,she didn't know how to react..

Abhi looked up to see the beautiful white dress girl, looking at him, kind of dazed..He was not sure about what he wanted to talk but he felt the need to know her more and so he made Akash tell her that he wanted to meet her..He felt happy everytime he saw that look of admiration in her eyes,throughout the concert.This girl was different..

"Hey!", he greeted her with a wide grin.."please come"

She walked towards him without a word.."Would you like to have something ?"

"Wow that's so sweet", Pragya thought to herself and politely declined with a "No Thankyou"

"Why are you so silent all of a sudden? Your throat is sore from all the cheering?", he asked chuckling..

"I just can't believe I am talking to you right now.."she said and gave him a small nervous smile ..when he returned her smile ,she got the courage to talk .."Can I have an autograph please?"

"Of course you can !!",he said and signed a "With love,Abhi" in the book that she gave him..It was selfie time next and they loved the picture they made. Somehow, that seemed like a perfect picture , worth framing (and Pragya did that later  )

"I made this for you", she said and gave him a photo frame,which had a collage of all his pictures right from his first concert till the most recent one ..he was overwhelmed .."Wow! This is beautiful !!! Thank you so much..", he replied smiling and looked fondly at the collage .It sure had all the pictures he loved,some with his family, one during an award ceremony..so many memories..

"You must have figured by now that I am one of your biggest fans..I had a long speech prepared,one that I wanted to convey to you, if at all I happened to meet you someday..now I can't recollect a word", she said shaking her head and chuckling at her own plight.

Abhi grinned.."So what if you can't recollect now ? You can take all the time you want and tell me slowly "

Pragya looked puzzled ..what was he saying ?

"You don't know why I wanted to meet you right..I kind of liked you when I saw you and I wanted to get to know you..I know this is all too early but I am going back to India day after and I am new to the place,would you like to show me around this place tomorrow?"

"You.. I..what?" ..This was too good to be true and the next minute Prags was on the ground

"Hey ! What's wrong ?", Abhi was shocked that she fainted all of a sudden and sprinkled some water on her face..

She slowly opened her eyes to see the rockstar looking at her,concerned.."Hey Pretty girl,are you okay ??Is it because of something I said? I am so sorry!! Here I was thinking of asking you for coffee but I guess I should take you to a doctor first ",Abhi said trying to lighten the mood..

Pragya chuckled "man he is adorable", she thought to herself but heard a "Yeah that I am   " for a reply..only then did she realise she had said that out loud 

"Okay , let's start from the beginning..Hi , I am Abhishek Mehra..and you must be ?"

"Pragya ...Pragya Arora", She replied, slowly realising that this whole conversation was happening for real..and her joy knew no bounds!

Fifteen years later..

"So this ,dear kids, is how I met your father", Pragya finished her monologue and grinned at her audience - their twins -Aarav and Aditi 

"What did I miss?", the hero of the story walked in and settled beside his wife,putting a hand over her shoulder..

Aditi went and hugged her papa while Aarav went to sit beside his mother .."Your love story papa", they said at the same time,smiling broadly..

"You sure are a super cool guy,asking her out the first time you met her", Aarav commented and the boys hi-fived each other.

"That was because Mumma was so beautiful and he couldn't take his eyes off her Aaru",Aditi replied, earning a "Ha! That's my girl", from Pragya..

And so, the awesome foursome continued talking for a long time about random things. It was one perfect happy family
