"Pandit Ji.."Nandini squealed in happiness as she waved at him. And much to people's attention Trilok waved right back at her with a soft and a warm smile etched on his face.

He gestured her to come up by moving his palm and that was more than enough to get all the eyeball turned at her direction.

Everyone knew that Nandini shared a very warm relationship with THE PANDIT TRILOK CHAURASIA...

..but of course things seemed a bit different when they were looking at it with their own eyes.

Nandini rushed towards him eagerly and so did Trilok as he started to descend down the stairs of the stage. But before he could step off the stage completely Nandini reached him.

Bending down she touched his feet and said "Welcome Back Sir.."

Trilok put his hand on her head and answered "..thank you so much my dear.." Holding her from her shoulder he made her stand. "..it's good to see you too Nandini.." he blessed her by putting his hand on her head once again.

"..and what about us.."both Nandini and Trilok turned to look at the faces of the remaining member of Trilok's favourite students.

"..you didn't miss us.."Navya complained. "..matlab sara pyaar and attention only for Nandini..what about us sir.."

"..really Navya.."Trilok rolled his eyes. "..you seriously want to play this who is who's favourite game..like this.."

"..what other option am I left with.."Navya made a bad face to which Trilok answered "..how about all of you giving me a group hug...I think that would suffice..won't it.."

"..actually that sounds like a pretty awesome plan.."Madhyam agreed.

And the next moment all of them hugged Trilok.

"I missed you all kiddos.."saying this Trilok smiled.

"We missed you too sir.."Abhimanyu replied. "..now that you are here..finally it feels like that our family is complete.."

"..true that.."Aryaman smiled.

"..okay..now it's getting just too melodramatic don't you think guys.."Trilok replied. "..people are staring at us as if we are playing the movie HUM SAATH SAATH HAI..in front of them.."

"..we will save our reunion moments for later..for now let's concentrate on the other important things what's say..like the FUSION CONCERT.."

"Agreed.."they all replied unanimously.

"Fine then...let's take this show to the road.."saying this Trilok turned and got back on the stage followed by his bunch of students.

Fab5 was standing with the other students and they were equally impressed just like the rest of the students who were witnessing the reunion of Trilok with his students.

Getting back Trilok nodded towards the principal.

Principal got up from his seat and went to stand in front of the podium. "..attention students.."

The very next moment the buzz of the auditorium died down. There was pin drop silent as all the head in the room turned to look toward the Principal Sir.

"We the faculty..are extremely happy to welcome one of the finest musical talent that exists in the country..Mr.Trilok Chaurasia.."saying this the Principal started clapping followed by all the students and faculty members of SPACE.

Trilok smiled and nodded his head as a sigh of acceptance of their warm welcome.

"It's a matter of extreme pride that Mr.Trilok Chaurasia accepted our request to conduct the FUSION CONCERT..which will be another feather added to reputation of SPACE ACADEMY. We are excessively honoured to have this Legend to became a part of one of the most historic moments of SPACE.."

Looking at Trilok Principal continued "..thank you so much for your valuable time Mr.Trilok..we are extremely honoured to have to you here..and our students would be blessed to be getting guided by you.."

"Now..I would request him to take it from here and announce the name of the students who would be performing at the FUSION CONCERT..so please put your hands together and welcome Mr.Trilok Chaurasia.."saying this the Principal nodded at Trilok who got up and started to walk towards the podium.

And once again the entire auditorium resonated with the sound of the applaud of all the students and faculty members of SPACE as Trilok finally stood in front of them.

"Good morning dear ones.."Trilok smiled. "..well I am extremely touched by the welcome that the students and faculty members of SPACE had showered on me. In fact it's a matter of pride for me that I will be getting the opportunity to work with such brilliant minds and pure souls who have such immense passion towards music.."

"I was really surprised not only by the turnout but also by the demonstrations of talent that SPACE had..and trust me when I say this in that moment I realised that how lucky am I that I will be the one to work with such committed and dedicated future music potentials.."

"Initially I was planning to train just one student who was supposed to be selected from student body of SPACE and will be performing a duet with one of my students..but now..due to the thunderous response and most importantly the potential that I know this collage had I couldn't stop myself from doing this.."

"..that's why there had been a massive change.."

"..now there will be 14 different performances that will be taking place that night.."

Everyone gasped as Trilok continued to speak.

"..yes..and not one..rather 35-40 of you will be performing on the night of Fusion Concerts.."

It was deadly silent for a second but soon that phase passed too as well as the very next moment the entire auditorium erupted into cheers and applauses.

Trilok showed his hand and gestured them to stop just for a while and for a change they did listen to him.

"..so I think it's time to announce the name of the students who will be performing on the Fusion Concert..so shall I proceed."

They all replied in unison. "YES"

"Okay then.."He took out a piece of paper that was kept on the folder which was placed on the podium. Trilok smirked and said. "..so here we go.."
