In the vocal testing room...

Nandu along with navya and starz with George were standing near the equipment...

Nandu: thank you for guiding them George... lets see if they improved or not... she said while George smiled happily...

George: oh, ofcourse... these sweeties are indeed hard workers... he said while nandu just nodded her head...

Nandu: are you ready...? She asked smiling devilishly...

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Sid: yes....? He replied unsure seeing her smile...

Nandu: alright, lets get down to it...

She gestured them to stand in the live room... Starz and nandu were seperated by glass... meanwhile nandu took her place in the audio room as a producer... The first one to enter the vocal booth was sid... while the other band members were still standing in the live room...

Navya's phone rang all of a sudden...

Navya: love, i have to take this... she said while nandu nodded her head... Navya excused herself and went away...

Nandu: Alright, you guys can start...

Getting the message Sid looked towards his band...

*We cant afford to make mistakes...*

Was his silent message to them... he nodded his head and turned around... then took a deep breath...

The other band members started to play...

I won't lie to you

I know he's just not right for you

And you can tell me if I'm off

But I see it on your face

When you say that he's the one that

you want

And you're spending all your time

In this wrong situation

And anytime you want it to stop

He sang looking straight at nandu who was looking at his band members... as if sensing someone's gaze nandu raised her brow at him...

I know I can treat you better

Than he can

And any girl like you deserves a

gentleman

Tell me why are we wasting time

On all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead

I know I can treat you better

Better than he can

*his voice is good... but he needs to concentrate on his notes...*

Nandu thought as she ticked off one of the things that are needed to qualify...

I'll stop time for you

The second you say you'd like me to

I just wanna give you the loving that

you're missing

Baby, just to wake up with you

Would be everything I need and this

could be so different

Tell me what you want to do

*The music is also good, except for the keyboard... that girl needs a bit more confidence...*

She thought as she ticked off the instrumental music...

'Cause I know I can treat you better

Than he can

And any girl like you deserves a

gentleman

Tell me why are we wasting time

On all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead

I know I can treat you better

Better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign

Take my hand, we'll be fine

Promise I won't let you down

Just know that you don't

Have to do this alone

Promise I'll never let you down

Nandu then stood up making them stop abruptly...

Nandu: alright that's enough...

Sid and his gang were confused... the song was yet to complete...

Nandu: you... yes, Mr. Singhania... its your turn to sing...

She pointed out at maddy who nodded his head... Sid came out as soon as Maddy went in... he took maddys place...

They started to play the same song...

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better
Than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted cryin'
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Nandu: Stop please... yeah, that's enough... i really suggest you to listen to your own voice... its worst than donkey's wail... she spoke looking at him who was dumbfounded for a moment...

Meanwhile George who was beside her had a hard time controlling his laugh...

Nandu: you need to focus on your breath... increase your lung capacity... sing again...

She gestured him to start again without even giving him a chance to retort...

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to st-

Nandu: if you sing like this, i am sure you would pass for a donkey in a circus... she said with a straight face...

George looked as if he was about to burst into tears holding his laugh...

Nandu: try to improve... I am sure george will start his new training session for you... next time i hope i will not hear the same bullshit... she said while george quickly nodded his head not wanting to get taunted by her and gestured him to go...

Maddy only got to nod his head... he was actually shocked that he couldnt utter anything... this was the first time someone compared him with a donkey...

Nandu: you!

She pointed out at sana who looked a bit scared now...

Nandu: yes, you... go on and sing something for me... we need a female singer too right... and i am guessing its you...

Sana nodded her head at her before stepping into the vocal booth... sid came out and took his guitar to play...

Nandu sat down and gestured her to start...

Haan aa o…

Main jaan ye vaar doon

Har jeet bhi haar doon

Keemat ho koi tujhe beinteha pyaar

doon (x2)

Saari hadein maine meri, ab maine

tod di

Dekar mujhe pataa awaargi ban gaye

Haan hasi ban gaye

Haan nami ban gaye

Tum mere aasmaan

Meri zameen ban gaye

Aa o… aa…

Nandu: stop stop... what do you think you are doing...

Sana was slightly taken aback...

Sana: i-

Nandu: Are you crying... it doesn't look like you are singing to me... yes, you need to bring emotion... but this is not it... sing with confidence... i cant hear you...

Nandu massaged her forehead with her fingers before gesturing her to sing again...

Sana nodded her head... but she looked really troubled...

Haan aa o…

Main jaan ye vaar doon

Har jeet bhi haar doon

Keemat ho koi tujhe beinteha pyaar

doon (x2)

Saari hadein maine meri, ab maine

tod di

Nandu: Stop! Did you even listen what i said?

Nandu looked irritated...

Sana: i am tryi-

Nandu: you need to follow the notes... not create your own... look, this is the last time i am telling you...

Sana just nodded her head at her... but her hand was trembling...

Nandu gestured her to sing again...

Haan aa o…

Main jaan ye vaar doon

Har jeet bhi haar doon

Keemat ho koi tujhe beinteha pyaar

doon (x2)

Saari hadein maine meri, ab maine

tod di

Nandu: No no... its a big no for me... look i need you to sing for me... not talk... do you understand... she said while sana just nodded her head...

Nandu: i need you to speak up... you cant hide behind them always... she spoke harshly...

Sana: ye- yes... she said trembling a little...

but this time sana couldnt get her voice out... before any one could comprehend she ran towards the door leaving a dumbfounded nandu... it took her a few minutes to recover...

Nandu: umm, well..... she looked at George...

George: she was a little scared of you sweetie... he said while scratching his head making nandu sigh... it always happens this way...

She is too serious when it comes to music... but how can someone blame her... she just wants them to be perfect...

Nandu: i expect you guys want to go after her... she spoke looking at them who nodded in return...

Nandu: alright go ahead... she gestured... while they quickly left without a second glance...

Nandu: am i that scary...?

George: do you doubt it... he said making nandu raise her brow at him...

Nandu: really Georgie... she spoke chuckling while george rolled his eyes...

George: lets go sweetie... he said bowing dramatically making nandu chuckle again...

*now, i need to go to my office... damn where is navu... i have bundles of work left...*

She thought sighing...

Meanwhile near Starz...

Sana was looking out of the window rubbing her tears...

Sid back hugged her... sana turned around to face him...

Sana: i am sorry... but-

Sid: its ok sana... its ok... we still have a chance... he said caressing her hair meanwhile the other two boys came near them... while sana looked at sid with a small smile...

Maddy: sana are you ok... he said while hugging her as sid moved aside...

Sana: bhai... she said hugging him tightly...

Karan: sana... he muttered not knowing how to comfort her...

Sana smiled a little at him before calming down...

Maddy: meri behena, its not over yet ok... so dont worry... we can do better than this... he said while Sana nodded her head at him but didnt leave him...

Karan: tu ne iss donkey se tho accha gaya na... he said making maddy scowl and hit his head...

Sana: but i am scared of her... she doesn't give me a chance to speak... she said looking down...

Maddy: she is a devil indeed... he said as he sighed... even he didnt have a chance to retort...

Karan: why fear when karan here... me hoon na... he said dramatically making Sana giggle...

Seeing this sid smiled...

Sid: alright guys lets go meet george... he said throwing his hands around sana's and karan's shoulders... meanwhile maddy was dragged by sana who hooked her arm with his...

Sana had only one thought in her mind as she walked with them...

*how lucky she is to have them in her life...*

She smiled at sid who smiled back at her...

In nandu's office...

Nandu was trying to call navya... as she didnt come after the phone call... her head was paining with all the drama...

*i really need a break... maybe i will drag navu with me too...*

she thought as she tried to call navya again...

Phone convo...

Navya: hey, loveee... she said giggling which made nandu frown...

Nandu: navu, are you drunk... she questioned to which navya just giggled...

Navya: no no no... i am not drunk... she said while nandu rolled her eyes...

Nandu: what happened... she asked softening her tone...

Navya: I................
