After thinking her brains out,Sahana decided to open the door.Replaying in her mind on how to attack the person for her defence,with a broomstick in one hand,she unlocked the door with the other.

'Hurry up!! Close the door.They have been chasing me',said the person who entered through the door.

Confused by the words she heard,Sahana stared at the owner of that voice.

Hundreds of questions started popping up her over thinking brain.

'Excuse me but who are you', she asked.

'Do you think I would talk to a maid like you? Where is Vishwa?',he questioned.

'What the hell...You step into my house and call me a maid.Who the devil are you?',Sahana shouted.Her anger was at its peak.

The man standing in front of her scratched his head and took out his phone.One could clearly tell that he was in total confusion.

'Arey saala Vishwa.Don't you live in this 5C anymore?'

'Don't you dare say a word.You didn't tell me that you shifted.Now tell me your address.I'm gonna come there now and get your lungs out'

He kept the phone back into his pocket and was searching for words to clear up this misunderstanding.

'I'm really sorry miss.I didn't'

'Leave'

Before he could complete,Sahana silenced him with that single word.

Without wanting to increase her anger anymore,he left the place after apologizing once again.

Sahana closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.

Never did she expect to encounter such a situation.

'How dare did he call me a maid?Idiot',she spoke to herself.

After a while,she thought to divert her thinking to calm her nerves.

How about going out?

Her mind gave her the right solution at the right time.

With the weekend lined up,she felt it is the best time to rock the city.

After googling the best places to visit,she started charting out plans for the weekend.

The places she jotted down as a final list were the ones which everyone would love to visit.

'Maybe I can share my experience of this trip around the city on my show.God this sounds so exciting'

Sahana was overwhelmed by her thoughts.

She stepped out to explore the city which is waiting for her.

The bird is now out of it's cage.The invisible cage that the expectations of others had created around her.The cage where she had found it tough playing tug of war between the designed life her acquaintances wanted her to live and the way she wanted her life to be.

'Everyone will surely have this situation.It is about how they overcome it',she thought.

'How will I win my passion back?',Madhuri thought.

Madhuri was in her room for the past one hour shutting the door reasoning a fake sickness for her absence at the college.

The only reason behind that was her fear facing the world.

The world where her dreams don't seem worthy to anyone.Anyone except that one.

He wasn't the only one who encouraged her nor did he know anything about how important music was to her but his mere speaking brought everything back.Everything that lied deep down safe in her heart for years.

Nobody has even cared about it.Everyone was busy in world with their own work to care about other's interest in this world.

When the checklist of items which was prepared by her parents for her was down one after another,everyone thought that she was a girl born with a silver spoon but deep down she had her own checklist which no one bothered to listen.

Madhuri stopped speaking about it to others,made herself lonely and stood between what she wanted to be and she is.

Sahana was standing at the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.Her eyes gleamed in excitement.

'Such a marvelous place.One of the great engineering works I have ever seen',her thoughts were so expressive that one who sees her face would guess the reason for her amusement.

'It's India's first cable stayed bridge.This eight lane bridge is one of Mumbai's famous places.Enjoy your view people.We will be here for one hour',

Smile crept over Sahana's lips on hearing the tourist guide explaining to the bunch of people in front of him.

'Glad that he didn't notice me or who knows he may even charge for me for eavesdropping his lecture',she smiled again.

'You should try visiting this place later this evening.It would be wonderful'

The voicing of these words startled her.

She turned to see Harish,her manager standing in front of her.

'Harish you totally scared me'

'Well that's a shocking surprise.I didn't expect you here either.All alone huh?'

'Ya and what about you?'

'I'm here with my son,Beta idhar aaoo',he called out.

'What? Harish has a son!!He looks too young to have a son',Sahana thought looking at the kid.He seemed to be a five year old.

'Say hello to Sahana son',his voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

'Hello',the kid said as sweet as a sugar candy.

'Hello champ',Sahana said pinching his pink cheeks.

'Sorry Sahana.I got to be going.My family is waiting for us.That's my card and I'll be waiting for you to come for lunch tomorrow.I would then introduce you to my whole family',he said thrusting his card into Sahana's hands and bidding adieu.

The protective father carried his son and walked into the crowd.She watched till he went out of sight.

'Why do I feel so happy seeing this person being protective over his son?

This is a different level of happiness which I didn't get even after doing my very first show.

Isn't that all I wanted in life?

To have a family?To be happy with him?'

'Don't let the past memories spoil the one's you are making now for your future',Sahana's inner conscience warned and it was right as usual.

'Ok now let's see.Bandra-Worli Sea Link done.Hanging gardens here I come',she said looking at the checklist.

'Not until we speak',a familiar voice crept through her ears and Sahana knew the owner of the voice without even looking at the person.

The owner of her voice was the owner of her memories too.
