Give me a dream and I will chase it. Part 3/7

One day to go.
There are no train tickets available for Monika to get to Delhi. All I can do for her now, is call up the Jullundhur Bus Stand, find out timings and fare in Punjabi, translate it and tell her what to do. She knows what to do and which counter to go to for the ticket and at what time. She will leave in the morning and get here indelhi by Seven pm.

Now, I need to look for two guys who are decent, well behaved, trance lovers, who would be OK with paying their share and who will not only give us sufficient company to keep loafers at bay, but will not become threats themselves.
If we don't find the right guys, we will have to go there by ourselves. She is white and puttogether,  we do attract a lot of attention and that could create considerable problems. No one on my friend list fits the bill. Now what?
Brainwave! Let me call up the organizer and ask him if he knows of two such guys who have gotten passes just for themselves and would be suitable for us, in the given situation. The young, cute, dynamic organizer says he will let me know if he comes across any such people. Off hand, he says, he might have  one friend who he could trust..he says he will get back to me. But he just knows one suitable guy.
In the meanwhile, the gig shows up on Armin's official website. Phew! It is going to happen after all!!

Day 0
The show is in the evening. Monika takes the morning bus and she tells me she has a guy friend who, decided early morning to accompany her. Perfect! She is on her way!!! Now all I need is to get confirmation from this one guy friend to accompany me. Even if that does not happen, we would be fine, for at least we would have one trustworthy male companion! This looks good!

5pm: The cute Organizer connects me on conference call to his friends' friend. We talk. He says he would be happy to give me company.Then the organizer texts me, 'He is a well behaved chap.Good guy. You will have nothing to worry about'.... I add him on facebook, so I know what he looks like. He will meet me outside the club, so would Monika and her friend, who promised to get me some quick dinner.Are you kidding me!! This is ALL falling in place. YES!!!
I get back home from work and get dressed. It is very cold outside. So I wear a sweater over my dress, stockings to keep me warm on the way. They would have no place to keep the overcoat, so I skip it. It will get too hot inside, anyway. I am fully covered, no high heels.. (I want to dance the whole night, I will be there till 6am). Yes, I might get stared at by the other girls for not doing enough justice to the tiny club wear. But I still look sharp. I have to. It is Armin we are talking about! I hope I can see him from the crowd. Why am I not tall enough?!! I will HAVE TO get to the front row. It will be packed today. At least two thousand people.. and the club can hold not one more.
I have everyones' passes so I better not keep them waiting!As per my calculation, I need to travel in the Metro for one and a half hour and accordingly, I leave at seven thirty. I should be there by Nine pm. Monika will get me some Subway dinner before we enter.

To be continued...
