There was a loud scream of Shehnaaz.

"Bansi kaka. Idhar nehi.. aur uppar." She instructed to put the colored paper higher in the wall. She almost ran to another place.

She screamed again "ASIM". He stopped from where he was goiong. She asked

"Catering waloon ka kya hua? Kab tak aane wale hain?" she huffed

"They will be here in half an hour. And relax Man, Itna vaag matt subah subah. 3 baje program ke liye energy bachake rakhiyo. Abhi bas 8 baje hay." He said lifting a box.

"Haan. I will be Okay. Inform me the second they come." She went from there and entered the office room.

"Shehnaaz, tumne wohh files dekhli jo maine veja tha?" Sarita ji asked

"Haan, list me jo naam hain unko personally call karwaya maine. Aaj ke function ka remind karwaya." She said in one breath.

"Good job. Aab baccho ka dekhlo. Main thori der pehele dekhke aayi. Puch rahi thi tumko." Sarita ji said.

"haan, jayungi abhi. Unko rehearsal bhi to karwana hain." Shehnaaz said, smiled, and left the room.

She entered the hall where all children were gathered. They were dancing in music. Preparing their performances.

Shehnaaz went to a boy of 10 who had some problem in his right hand.

"Raju, tumhe entry lena hain, sabse pehele. Tum prepared ho?" shehnaaz asked touching his chin.

"Haan, didi. Abhi bhi practice hi kiya. Jaise aapne dikhaya tha bilkul waise kiya" He showed his excitement.

"very good. Main dekhungi thori der me. Aap thori aur practice karlo. Aur agar kuch nehi aaya to main yehi hoon." She exclaimed.

"thik hain didi.

She smiled at him and went to a girl.

"Maya, beta idhar Aao." She called a girl of 7. She ran to her and wrapped her arm in shehnaaz's thigh. Shehnaaz smiled.

"hi, didi"

"Aap aj kya kya karne wale hain?" she picked her and placed her in a bench to meet her eyes. the girl giggled. Shehnaaz again asked her.

"Aap aaj kya perform karoge?" she asked in a baby tone.

"Mera pehele ek song hain, jisko mujhe stage ke upar char ke, mike ke samne khade hoke, usko pakad ke, jor se aur acche se gaana hain." She said constantly shaking her face up and down.

Shehnaaz caught her rhythm and she also mimicked her action.

She kid continued.

"aur phir jab mujhe fir se bulayenge ke Maya aayo to mujhe fir se stage pe jake. Mike pakadke poem sunana hain. Aur ending me bolna hain 'Thank you everyone'. Aur phir bhaag ke chale aana vapas." She finished. Shehnaaz clapped at this and the girl also clapped copying her.

"very good. Aapko kal ki boli huyi sari batein acche se yaad hain. Par aap ko end me bhaag ke nehi aana. Aap ko dhire se chalke aana hain. Varna aap gir jayoge na baccha?" she said touching her cheeks.

"Okay. Aise aise chalke ayungi" she jumped from the bench and showed Shehnaaz the way she would walk.

Shehnaaz let out laugh. Went closer to her where she had gone to show Shehnaaz her walk.

"Bilkul aise hi chalna hain. Aab phirse practice karo, main thori der main check karungi" She kissed her head and went to her co worker.

"Seema, Last wala jo sare bacchoke sath hamara performance hain uske costume kahan hain?" Shehnaaz asked.
