His composed expression was directed towards me but his eyes held intensity like he was ready to deal with the devil if needed.
"Stay with the crowd, we will take care of the things," his voice was authoritative as if he was commanding me. With that said, he turned around to leave but before he could, I grabbed onto his sleeve to halt him.
"I'm coming with you," I announced with determination. My tone didn't encourage any argument or I hoped it didn't. But Viaan being Viaan, I had unknowingly accepted the discountenance that was coming my way. A girl could always hope, right?
He stared into my eyes for a whole minute, searching for something that I didn't quite understand. At last, he said, "Okay."
I stood there shocked and frozen trying to digest that Viaan had just said 'okay'. Okay!
He bloody said okay!
For someone who loves to dictate and decide for others without asking them, he agreed toobeyfor once!
"Wow, that's very nice for a change," I couldn't help but smile widely, feeling the giddiness with joy as I blinked, feeling fluttered. He just sighed loudly, actually kind of irritated with my response and turned around to walk away while I followed suit.
Before we could move more than a few feet, the lights dimmed and the spotlight focused on Aaryan standing in the center of the crowd. He looked up at the crowd, like the charming performer he was and spoke, "Iss khushi ke mahol mein, ek gaana toh banta hai."
The crowd went wild with cheers on hearing Aaryan's words. He adorned a lopsided smile at us before he added with a wink, "This is on your behalf, brother."
The music started in the background as the backing vocalists started singing, enthralling the crowd.
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
The lighting changed again as dim lights illuminated enough to see the obstacles while the spotlight never left Aaryan. And he started singing, causing my mouth to drop open. Nope, it wasn't because I was surprised by his voice. I had heard him sing before, so it wasn't a big deal. What surprised me more was the song that he had chosen, the lyrics that he sang.
He chose ‘She’s crazy but she’s mine’ to sing now?
Viaan let out a chortle earning a glare from me. What was that big-headed, annoyingly spoiled rock star thinking?
Nothing! He wasn't thinking to begin with!
"Alex Vorobyov's song suits you well," Viaan smirked without even turning to look at me. I chose not to reward him with any reply because I didn't know if I was red with embarrassment or due to fury. Either way, my face was burning.
Everyone seemed to be mesmerized by Aaryan’s voice and started following him out of the hall, towards the open terrace that had access from the reception hall. It was like watching Pied Piper leading all the children away. For one moment I was tempted to join them, just to see what else was going to happen, but that was just for a moment.
"Let's go," Viaan's cold tone was enough to wake me up from the trance.
Mumbling 'yeah', I followed him out of the banquet hall and down the stairs. Yet, I could still hear Aaryan singing, loud and clear.
Viaan stopped to meet the security head who was standing with Daksh. They only exchanged greetings before the security head led us to the elevator.
The lift took us down to the ground floor. The speakers around the floor played Aaryan's live singing. On the other hand, Aaryan was entertaining the guests with his performance. Twirling the ladies who wanted to share a dance with him and Jaspreet was the first one to lay her hands on him.
The song was already in it’s second verse.
The security head stopped by a door, entering biometric and ID card authentication, opening the door for us to the surveillance room. He stood aside as Viaan and I entered behind Daksh and the security head in tow behind us. While Viaan took over a computer from a security member, Vikrant and Neel parked their car in Cradisson's parking lot. The offensive team from their security office sat in the van, not very far away. They were all waiting for information. The information that we were extracting.
I could hear the chorus of the song play in the background.
One look at Viaan's face and I knew what I had to do. Not waiting around for orders, I started looking for the cameras which would give me a familiar view.
"There! The third video!" I pointed at the small division on the screen which showed the open door leading to a corridor. The same corridor that led to the bride's room.
"Are there cameras in that corridor?" Daksh inquired earning some heads shake negative in answer.
"Play the recording of the last twenty minutes," Daksh ordered, which the security guard obeyed sincerely. The first thing we saw was me walking out of the door. Not too long after that three more people went that way.
