Her thoughts were broken by the sound of
his ghunghroo. Instead of slowly
picking up pace, he began full throttle.
She was shocked, terrified rather. The rushing beats being produced by
his feet created a chaotic noise at first, but soon formed a pattern. Almost as
if someone was chanting a mantra with
a great urgency.
With the rising tempo, Ridha felt a
palpable energy within her too. She didn’t know of this approach to dance at
all. She had always interpreted it as something graceful, and delicate. And here
was a man, who looked as if he was preparing for war with his eyes tightly
shut, and possessed by some inner calling.
Feeling the adrenaline rush through her,
Ridha jumped to her feet. Without thinking, she breaks into a footwork
struggling to match up to his accelerating speed.
