5:00 pm hopeful smiles orphanage, Mumbai

"I'm at the orphanage right now you all, and the children are literally running behind me. I have some work right now, bye!"

Inaya shut the camera as kalpana aunty called her. She was living in the hopeful smiles orphanage since the time she was born.

This orphanage was her home since the last twenty five years but the best part about this place was that it was open to old people who needed help.

So all in all it was a combination of an old age home and an orphanage. Two couples Mr and Mrs Sharma and Mr and Mrs sood lived with them.

Their children left them here saying that they had no time to take care of them and that they would come to see them regularly. And they never did, all empty promises.

Inaya never understood why would someone leave their parents. It was their duty to look after them when they become old and need somebody to help them.

Other then that kalpana aunty and four other women and three men lived in the orphanage who were also abandoned by their children.

The orphanage was her family. Almost thirty children lived here with eleven elders. A big happy family.

Inaya started vlogging three years ago. When one day she was randomly shooting kids playing and she posted it without thinking much just for fun.

The video got three lakh views so then onwards she started making videos on YouTube.

Most of her videos were vlogs but some were her skincare tutorial, some reels. She enjoyed sharing her life with people. Although she was not an extrovert, she liked to meet different people.

Coming inside the common room she saw kalpana aunty sitting on her rocking chair and knitting a wollen sweater.

"You called me aunty"

"Hmm I was calling you since the last ten minutes par tujhe vo camere se fursat he nahi milti"

She bit her tongue hearing this.

"Sorry aunty. Bolo na kyu bula rahe thee"

"Rohit and Harsh have their birthday tomorrow and the cake is not here yet. I called the bakery, they said that they are closed till next Monday."

Rohit and Harsh are two kids who joined them last year on this date so they wanted to celebrate their birthday as their real birthday was unknown to them.

"Ahh itni si baat. You don't worry, I'll just go and buy one in the evening I was anyway going to the market. I'll take Sanya with me"

Sanya was a little girl almost seventeen years old. Closest to Inaya's age.

"Okay now I'm tried. I'll go and sleep"

................................

9:30 pm Mumbai

"Shit..shit we are late didi"

Inaya and Sanya were running towards the bakery. They would have gone back home if only Inaya had woken up and not slept for three hours straight.

"I know Sanya. We have to get the cake at any cost. Runnn"

She held her hand out for Sanya to hold and started running towards the bakery in the market.

As they reached there they saw the shopkeeper closing the shop. They were late.

"Ab kya kare"

(What now)

Sanya said looking at her.

"Don't worry. Let's go back to the car. Ghoomte ghoomte koi shop mil he jayegi"

(We'll find something)

They went back to her car and started their hunt for any open bakery. After roaming around the city for almost an hour Sanya spotted a restaurant which was still open.

"Didi see that restaurant. It's still open."

Inaya saw where she was pointing at and let out a relaxed breath.

"Thank God, finally something"

They got out of the car and moved inside the restaurant. Packing a big chocolate cake for the children she payed the amount and went to the car keeping the bag inside.

"Do you want to eat something?"

She asked Sanya as she instantly said.

"Coffee!"

"Ok then come."

Both of them went inside and ordered their coffee. The order came and Sanya instantly took her cup moving out of the restaurant.

Inaya took her cup but instantly decided to shoot some content for her vlog. She started talking looking at the camera and picked up her cup in the other hand.

As she moved out still busy with her camera she bumped into someone and instantly her cup fell from her hand spoiling the person's clothes.

Looking up she saw a tall man dressed in a business suit which ofcourse she had ruined with her carelessness.

"I'm so sorry sir!"

She apologized and looked at him in the eyes. Handsome!

He looked really handsome. Especially with his black suit and spectacles but she had ruined his clothes and even dropped her coffee.

He stared at her for sometime but then  turned his heals saying something to people accompanying him and moved towards a black Mercedes.

Okay so the man was rich, she really had to mess up with the wrong people. All this was being captured in her camera. She instantly shut it and looked around.

A woman came up to her looking a little annoyed.

"Ma'am please pay attention the next time you walk in a public place."

Inaya had never felt so embarrassed ever before. From the corner of her eyes she saw Sanya looking at her with widened eyes.

"I'm really sorry"

The woman nodded and went inside the restaurant while some of the people who came with him went towards their cars.

She sighed out in relief as they all went away. Still looking down she moved towards her car and sat down on the driving seat while Sanya sat on the passenger seat.

"What did you do didi! You really spilled your drink on Aditya Singhania!!"

Inaya looked at her with narrow eyes. How did she know that man?

"How do you know him?"

"Everybody does"

She spoke with a duh! tone.

"Really? who is he?"

"Aditya Singhania. One of the top lawyers in the country and also he is really hot"

Sanya spoke with wiggling eyes while sipping her coffee. Inaya looked at her with narrowed eyes. What the hell!

"And how do you know him?"

"I'm a teenager didi and you know we all talk about our crushes in school. He is really handsome. A lot of my friend have a crush on him."

Now this really surprised Inaya. Why was she so clueless about this?

"You know I'll tell my friends about this. They'll be so jealous."

Inaya chuckled at that. Young girls being jealous about this small thing looked really silly to her. Well even she had crushes. Sidharth Malhotra, God she could die for him!!!

"Okay now let's go. We are already late. Aaj kamlesh dada pakka band bajayenge"

Both laughed at that. Inaya started the car and moved back towards the orphanage with the cake and balloons.
