The doors of the restaurant opened, revealing a crowd of people eating and chatting. Through the crowd, he dragged me inside a door written 'staff only'.

Behind that door, everyone was working, making food, plating, getting ready to serve etc. Exiting from another door, we were in a small lawn "so, can you cook?" I declined "only some food" was he gonna make me work here in his stead to make money? "Can u serve?" I have never tried it "I don't know" He was a bit frustrated "What can you do then? Didn't you had any job before?" I nodded a no "amir bap ki beti ho kya? Jisne kabhi kam nhi kiya?!" I was about to say yes, but stopped "y--no, no".

"Mumma!!!!" A little boy came running and hugged me tight, I was confused but I did hug him back, if my Pari was this big, would she too have been hugging me like this? I sat down to his level "who are you? And why are you cailing me mumma?" His face was straight, but you could sense the excitement in his eyes "you smell like a mom, mumma, where is your baby?" Do I? "My.....my baby was an angel, so kanhaji took her to a beautiful place" I somehow managed to say.

"Ahir! What is this behavior?" The man who took me here asked, so his name is Ahir "Don't scold him, he's just a kid, also, I never got your name" He slightly punched the kid's shoulder "my name is Armaan, Armaan Upadhyay, you?" I fake smiled "Priyali....only Priyali".

"Armaan!! The key to warehouse, it fell into the drain, all the foods are getting delayed. Did you bring the spices?" A worker lady panicked "Oh no! I accidentally damaged those spices, let's have a look" we all ran near the warehouse, the key was still there because no water was running through it, but not reachable.

"Um" they all looked at me " I can help, use a magnet and a string to take the keys out, I'll go entertain the guests" Armaan was a bit worried but agreed anyways.

There was a little stage with mic in the restaurant, and a grand piano. Perfect.

I sat at the piano, set up the mic and said " there was an accident because of me, which delayed your foods, please let me compensate with a song"

Pehle kabhi, na tune mujhe gham diya
Phir mujhe, kyun tanha kar diya
Guzaare thhe jo lamhe pyaar ke
Hamesha tujhe apna maan ke
To phir tune badli kyun adaa
Yeh kyun kiya?

They all smiled a bit

Kabhi jo baadal barse
Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke
Tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki duaa

Some of them were recording

Tere pahloo mein reh loon
Main khudko paagal keh loon
Tu gham de ya khushiyaan
Seh loon sathiyaa..

A lively old couple started to slow dance

aa.. sathiyaa.. sathiyaa..
hmm Koi nahi.. tere siva mera yahaan
Manzilein, hain meri to sab yahaan
Mita de sabhi aaja faasle
Main chahun mujhe mujhse baant le
Zara sa mujhme tu jhaank le
Main hoon kya?

Others laughed as they got romantic on a sad song

Kabhi jo baadal barse
Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke
Tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki duaa
Tere pahloo mein reh loon
Main khudko paagal keh loon
Tu gham de ya khushiyaan
Seh loon sathiyaa..

Maybe, my life will change?
