"Beta, aa gaya aapka restaurant," Ravindra uncle's voice reached my ears as I curled my head to the specific place where I had no intentions of arriving, but because of those four people, I am here. And it wasn't enough, after informing me of the time, they vanished someplace and sent me a message conveying me to come here myself and I would find all four of them there.
[Beta, your restaurant has arrived]
Singing for the nth time, I put a gentle smile on my face, "Thank you, uncle. Aap chale jao, main Ronit ya phir Nyra ke saath aa jaungi." Ravindra uncle nodded at my statement, and I descended from the car. Whenever I don't arrive at the office in my car or Ravindra uncle gets engaged with Mumma's household work, Ronit or Nyra drops me home, they never let me go alone or in a cab, I don't know why.
[Thank you, uncle. You go, I will come with Ronit or Nyra.]
Stepping inside one of Mumbai's most luxurious and extravagant restaurants, I found myself alone. I roamed my apprehensive eyes through every single corner to see it cleared. Uneasiness served my veins as I was about to take my cell phone out from my handbag when unexpectedly I sensed a hand on my shoulder. In a reflex, I twirled to meet a woman wearing a maroon saree, and her hair was secured in a bun, "Ms. Amaya Mittal?" She questioned, I hesitantly nodded.
"Please, come with me." She once again depicted with a mild smile on her lips, her tone courteous yet experienced as she motioned me to follow her, "Why this place is empty?" I curiously asked, wandering my skeptical eyes around without taking any further steps forward.
Noticing my uncomfortableness she stated, "This whole place is booked for you." The before smile on her face doesn't shift a pinch. Not comprehending what to say further I just shook my head as she stepped forward and waited for me to reach. I did it with a lot of questions in my mind. I know those four won't reserve the entire eatery for me, so who is this new person? And I couldn't control my inquisitive brain from asking, "Who reserved this place?"
