Another song! I had never planned a day like this in my life. Music starts playing and I distinguish the song as 'story of my life'. I see Louis and Zayn smiling and talking to each other while Harry and Liam are singing the initial parts of the song. Zayn quickly stares at me, "Concentrate Doctor, my part is about to come."

I hastily focus on the song and start singing my lines along with Zayn. This time I feel a bit more relaxed while singing my part, which is Zayn's part in fact. While singing, I glance at Zayn again and I see him singing so solemnly and with too much dedication. I know that the song is intense but the dedication that these boys put in makes the song even more magical. After finishing his part, Zayn looks at me giving me a genuine smile. For God's sake, I am a fan and you should know that a fan can die with too much interaction with their idols. Next, I see Harry approaching me to say something, "Hey beautiful, I want you to sing my high notes along with me, okay, are you willing to do that?"

No, I can't, "Yes, I will" I answer Harry.

The song is going on, Louis is singing his lines and Harry approaches me again, "Ready then, start it"

And then I sing the high notes along with Harry. Zayn participates in between and all the others are also matching their pitches with us. Finally, the song ends and I feel at the top of the world.

"Okay so the young lady participated excellently along with us. Thank you so much for being such a great supporter. We all love you." Niall says this and I get my signal to leave the stage.

When I come downstairs to my seat next to my father, I hug him so tight just to express how happy I am at the moment. My father smiles at me and says, "I think this was the best thing that has ever happened to you."

"In total agreement with you, Papa, I loved it"

The performances finished a while ago and now the dinner has been announced. I am sitting with my father around this small round table made for four people but right now it is being utilized by two people only. I still can't get over the feeling that I had a few moments ago when I was singing like a rockstar with my idols. A man with a broad face wearing a three piece suit approaches us;

"You must be Dr. Zara?"

"And you must be kidding" I reply.

The gentleman gives me a small smile, "I would like to convey you an invitation for lunch from One direction, tomorrow. Will you be able to make it?"

This is enough. I know I am a huge fan but that doesn't mean anybody would come and exploit my fan girl-heart with jokes like these.

"Excuse me Sir. Firstly, I don't know who you are. Secondly, if you think that just by knowing my name you can ask me out for a lunch simply in the name of One direction, then you are totally wrong. Thirdly, don't ever joke like this again. You can leave now." I express my feelings with a straight face.

"Ma,am! Firstly I am the manager of 1D. Secondly, they have sent me personally to you to ask you out for the lunch. Thirdly, I know my age and I would never ask a girl, who is the age of my daughter, out for a lunch and yes you are guessing it right that I am not leaving"
