Chapter 5 YouTube Channel "Awaken Senses"

Chavi squealed "Yippee... Khushi Di, we have got 1 million-plus subscriber and more than a million views". Khushi's eyes are on the desktop, she is grinning "Wow, It's unbelievable that people are appreciating our music. See, it's increasing... We will get the button from YouTube. Shall we call Adira?"

"Yes, and subscribers getting close to 2 million." Chavi is doing her lala dance.

They dialed Adira. Adira answered "Hello".

Both squealed in excitement "Congratulations, we got 1 million-plus subscribers to our channel".

Adira holding the receiver away from her ear "Oh God, are you both planning to make me deaf. Congratulations to you both as well".

Chavi asked, "I am excited about our new song. Di, are we going to reveal our identity".

Adira bluntly replied "No".

Khushi asked, "Why Adira".

"Why are you so hyper? Always jumping like an electron. You shouldn't forget that we can't. What will happen, if Baba and Uncle Swaraj will come to know? It's like a ticket to the dungeon".

Both whispered, "Oh...We are sorry, got carried away with excitement".

Adira responded, "That's my girl. We will add our new song in the next 15 days". Both girls replied in unison "Aye Aye Captain".

"Drama Queens. Chavi Madam, how about the frequency code progress is going on. We need to complete it. Share the progress with me".

"Sure Di".

"Khushi, What about the Italy project process".

"Construction started. Need some of your ideas and views on interior decoration".

"Sure, let's work this weekend. Now, I am getting ready for the office. Speak to you later".

Khushi wants to discuss another drama that her parents started, but she realized it's Adira's office time. She will discuss it later.

Dylan Lemaire asked, "Jacob, did you get the list.

Jacob replied, presenting the list to Dylan "Yes, Mr. Lemaire".

Dylan is going through the list. He furrowed "Jacob, I asked for a list of new talents with names. Why you have included this YouTube Channel'.

Jacob replied, "Mr. Lemaire, This channel is just 4 months old every month they launch one song and now they have two million subscribers. If you listen, to their songs it's different and fresh. Each song is in a different language."

Dylan raised his brows "Play any song from their channel".

"Sure Mr. Lemaire" Jacob connected to the channel and played a song for Dylan.

Dylan couldn't control his curiosity, he listen to all songs "Jacob, I need these artists. Invite them".

Jacob replied, "Mr. Lemaire, I tried to get their details by all means, but out of luck".

Dylan ordered, "Jacob, connect to Theo and get the details. I want their details by tomorrow morning on my table".

Jacob replied "Sure Mr. Lemaire".

Jacob's thoughts Leaving the office, "Why does he invite trouble".

Weekend arrives

Lemaire mansion, at lunch....

Jennifer asked "Dylan, you seem so tired".

Ayden cooed in "Same thought mom. What happened Dylan".

Dylan replied, "Nothing, It's just work".

Ayden and Vincent understood, for now, he wants to avoid conversation. Maybe later, he will have word with them.

Jennifer starts the conversation "Ayden, you are settled in your career. We are getting old, you are already 29. It's time to settle into your personal life as well. Do you have any girlfriend or shall I help you. Please let us know".

Ayden muttered, not again. "Mom, I am not interested in marriage. I will let you know".

Jennifer tries to convince "Ayden, How about Mia. She is a beautiful and good girl".

Dylan smirks. Ayden muttered again "Good Oh please mom. It makes no sense with Mia. She is my friend that's all. Now, Can I have my lunch in peace".

Jennifer attempted, her emotional tone "Why you will listen to me. Who I am to you".

Ayden replied, in a guilty tone "Mom please, don't state like that".

Jennifer asked, "Shall I talk to Mia's parents? And you just admitted she is a good friend, at least you can start with a date."

Ayden banged his hand on the table "I don't know why suddenly this lunch becomes torture to me".

Vincent yelled, "Ayden...You are not supposed to talk to your mom like that. She just wants to you settle down, what's wrong with that".

Ayden replied, "Dad I don't want to marry right now".

Vincent commanded, in his deep voice "Who asked you to marry right away, at least start dating someone or get to know someone. And I am also with your mom, you can date Mia. You know each other since your childhood and her parents are our friends. Mia likes you".

Ayden massaged his head "Dad Mom, I will be considerate about dating, not now, please".

"But..." Vincent stops his wife from further conversation.

It's evening, everyone sitting in a garden, enjoying the sunset.

Ayden asked Dylan "How it's going champ".

"All good" Dylan replied, in a low tone. He is thinking about the Youtube channel. Vincent acknowledged that.

Ayden continued, his conversation "Dad and I recently visited Royal Stay Hotel. It's awesome bro. We loved everything about it, architecture, ambiance, and food. Everything is A1 quality.

Dylan replied "Yes, I knew. I heard about it. They opened six months back. The owner's name is Aditya Kumar, but not able to get the Architect and chef details. I have already set up a meeting with the Owner to get details".

Vincent nodded in response; eyed Jennifer she was busy on a call with Mia's mother Rose. He doesn't want Jennifer to worry about their business talks. Taking advantage of an opportunity he asked Dylan "Why are you so stressed. What's the matter? In any situation I never saw you like that".

Dad, we are working on a project to give chance to fresh talents in the music industry and we have shortlisted some artists and the YouTube channel "Awaken Senses". It's been a week, and I am not able to reach them. Everything is hidden. It's frustrating and I am curious why.

Ayden asked, "Why are you behind them. You can choose some other talents".

Dylan said "Have you listened to them? Last week, they have two million subscribers and are presently straight to double. They just uploaded only four videos and all songs are in different languages. They are targeting an international audience. Besides that, their channel is just four to five months old".

Dylan massaged his head "What do you think dad".

Based on your stats, they don't want to be recognized.

Dylan answered, "I don't agree with you dad, any music company will offer them anything. More money".

Ayden replied, "If persons knew his worth, you can't buy them".

Vincent remembered a few days back the same lessons he taught to Ayden. Vincent and Ayden both chuckled in unison. And Dylan was confused.

Jennifer chipped in; caressing Dylan's head and glaring at Vincent and Ayden "Are you both teasing my baby". Moms please, don't call me baby.

Everyone laughed.

Adira in call with Khushi....

She asked, "Hey, All good ... How it is going with the Italy project".

Khushi replied, "No Adi, I mean the Italy project is going great. It's something else. I need to travel back".

Adira is a bit concerned tone "what's the matter".

Khushi said "Maa Baba again bought a new headache".

Adira understood, she is laughing. Khushi got pissed off. She accidentally said, "you will not understand...your parents are not introducing you to a guy. You cannot imagine my situation".

Adira said with a sigh "Yes, you are right. You are lucky".

Khushi realized her mistake later, but the damage is already done, she apologizes, "I am sorry Pari".

Adira said "In my opinion, you are exaggerating. What's the problem, meet the guy and decide. Besides that, uncle and Aunt will never force you...They are cool. By the way, who is the guy?

Khushi responded "He is uncle Hansraj's son, Vijay. And It's not like I am exaggerating, I want to settle down with my career first. I am busy here in Italy. Again traveling, just for this thing and I know, my answer is no. I don't like to embrace the person who will meet with hope and all...".

Adira was playing with her monkey. Khushi, impatiently waiting for Adira's reply "You there".

Adira immediately responds "Yes".

Khushi eagerly said "Say something. What are you doing?"

Adira replied "Why do you want to say no. Might be he is a great one. You shouldn't be judgmental. Might you will get the love of your life. If you both are compatible, then you go ahead... Later, when you settle down in your career, you can marry. I am sure, he will understand. And to answer your other question, I am playing with M Ayden".

Khushi got confused "Wait, who is M Ayden. Did I miss something? You mention love, now a name M Ayden. I do not like this Pari you are hiding things from me".

Adira replied in a proud tone "Hold your horses' girl. M Ayden is my cute monkey".

Khushi squealed "You bought a monkey as a pet. I also want it....They are so cute...but why did you name him M Ayden"

Adira giggled and replied, "Yup, I agree. Come to New York....You will know the name mystery".
