A Short Story - Part Twentytwo

Like a thirsty stranded traveller finding an oasis in the middle of a desert, like a baby bird just having flown her first distance.. Akshara was excited, delighted, and pleased.. It was Raghu, her love, who had just arrived at the hall.. 


For a moment Raghu stared at Akshara who was performing.. Raghu could not recognise her in her attire.. he then went straight to the seat reserved for him in the first row.. On the right to Raghu's seat was K.K.Reddy and to his left was Anita.. Raghu recognised Saarang, Chief Secretary, sitting next to Anita and immidiately shook hands with him.. he also shook hands with K.K.Reddy and sat in his seat.. Now Raghu started to watch Akshara's performance.. 


Raghu knew Anita from college.. At this moment for him though,she appeared more like an angel.. the keyholder for unlocking todays mystery.. Raghu turned to Anita to ask her about Akshara and as instant as it could have been Anita shot back at him "I know what you are going to ask me.. Just watch the show.. You are in for a treat.."
