Hey guys finally m back with an update:) not wasting any time, let's start with this big update..

***

"Relax.. relax Karan!! You can do it" Karan recited bending, keeping his hands on the table looking at his reflection in the mirror. He calmed himself down, for umpteenth number of time in past half an hour, he was getting nervous and was forgetting his points everytime he imagined himself speaking in front of a crowd.

His nightmare which woke him up early in the morning replayed in his mind. Where he was speaking on stage, and because of something wrong he uttered everyone started laughing and the judges scolded him in front of everyone. As he thought this over again, his eyes closed automatically. Scared, he opened his eyes and looking back at mirror spoke to himself.

"What if this comes true??? What if I really mess things up bad time?? Will we loose just because of me??"

"Nope you won't!! Stop being negative.. Be positive.. your hard work will not go in vain! Be confident"

The voice was enough to calm Karan down, he looked admiringly towards the door from where the voice came. There stood his mom, her hands folded and her head leaning on the wall looking at Karan with a smile on her face. She walked up to Karan and patting his cheek with one of her hand and other going through his messy hair spoke "Don't worry so much!! Just give your best! I believe my son can do anything he wants!".

Karan smiled hugging his mom in no second murmuring a thank you and a mental promise to her of giving his best no matter the result.

His mom left asking him to get ready as it was getting late to which he nodded and taking the towel entered the bathroom to freshen up.

As he was taking bath, his mind was still captivated with the thoughts of about to be happenings in the event and also his nightmare, the stage fright, the fright which makes you feel inferior on stage and other all superior but in reality which is exactly the other way around.

His mind was that captured, that he hardly had any idea what was he actually using on his face. Only after washing his face he realized what was the blunder he had committed.

"Why is my face so slippery today??" He questioned himself as he washed his face off with something he assumed it to be his face wash.

The realisation struck his mind in no moment and he looked down where his face wash was lying or to say his assumed face wash was lying. Seeing the Dettol hand wash instead of his face wash, his face filled with a small disgust and he bit his tongue between his teeth of frustration.

Now he understood why his face was so unusually slippery today. Out of habit, his hand travelled to rub his temple as he felt frustrated but his hands slipped because of the hand wash he used, making him feel more irritated.

He thought how will Aman react if he comes to know about this, just by a thought of this he shook his head in negative. Once when Aman had mistakenly applied it on his hair, he had teased and irritated him to that extent that Aman had to physically hurt him to stop him from teasing him. And now if he tells him that he has made the same mistake, he won't be sparing a chance to tease him.

Not wanting any of those to happen, he made a mental note of not telling it to anyone.

He went for his breakfast to his amusement his plate had his favorite dish served: Paneer; seeing which his eyes shone and he looked at his mom with twinkling eyes grinning widely. His mom returned the smile mouthing "CONGRATULATIONS in advance for the winning", to which Karan smiled replying back.
