She was a danseuse
Young graceful and talented performer who knew her art to the core
She was driven by a deep desire to be known for her dance
All she needed was to work with the right people
He was a post adolescent percussionist
Son of a famous rhythm master
He had it in his blood and he carried the legacy well
They incidentally saw each other perform at a concert
Having seen each other after years they were amazed at what time had done to their art.
Both wished to collaborate and perform together
They knew it would be a killer combination
They also knew that it was so meant to be
They got together and started practicing
They got along like a house on fire
Hours of rehearsals creating new permutations n combinations resulting in pieces of sheer brilliance followed
She felt confident with him
He got attracted and attached
She sensed it but gave it a blind eye considering it as just a phase
She could have used this as a trigger, to get better n best out of the situation
But she chose not to...
She absolutely trusted the art and their hardwork
The chemistry showed onstage
They rose to fame, won many awards, accolades and felicitations followed...
They travelled places professionally and literally.
This was by far one of the best times of their life
Art gave them more than what they gave to the art
Their compositions seemed like some work of divinity...
They always knew that art always shines brighter than the artist
That was the crux of their success.
Crazy fan following, rumors of them having an affair all followed...
Nothing mattered to her than her dance
Nothing mattered to him more than her
Now they both knew what it was...
They were inseparable as artists...
In their world tour he asked her
"You know what I feel for you. What is it that is keeping you away?"
She said, " Dear the fact is that you are in love with me and I am in love with your rhythm."
"But I m nothing without rhythm... And you are your dance", he tried to explain...
"No" , she said..... "There is a difference."
"All I wish for is being with you completely, I am in sync with you in stage and our vibes are great off it. I wish to experience completeness with you physically as well... Even if it was only once... I can't lie to you about my feelings."
"Okay", she said. "I feel what we share on stage is far more precious than what we can share physically. You have given me so much as an artist and accompanist...
How can I deny you your wish."
And she melded with him that noon...
The shows that followed were out of this world.
He kept playing for her she kept dancing for HER art she kept giving him what he wanted because she loved his art way more than he loved her...
It was a precious give and take of energies of two creative souls
It was their life...
Who are we to judge?
For them it worked perfectly...
For them it was beautiful...
No trophy could ever match what they already had...
