Srusti's POV

It was one such day when I was engrossed in my own world of melodies. I was playing and singing a sad song and was lost in it.

Soona soona lamha lamha
Meri rahein tanha tanha
Aakar mujhe tum tham lo
Manzil teri dekhe rasta
Mud ke zara ab dekh lo
Aisa milan phir ho na ho
Sab kuch mera tum hi to ho
Bepanah pyaar hai aaja
Tera intezaar hai aaja
O bepanah pyaar hai aaja
tera intezaar hai aaja
Soona soona lamha lamha
Meri rahein tanha tanha

Once I finished the song I heard someone clapping.

I was startled and looked in that direction and saw a man leaning on the door frame. He was clapping for me and looked as if he was impressed.

" Awesome amazing, out of the world... You sing so well, just like any professional singer. "

I was wondering who he was and the biggest question was how did he come in?? I always lock the door when Mohit goes out.

" Who are you?? How did you come in?? " I asked.

" I have the keys... Who are you? I am shocked to see such a pretty girl singing like a professional here. " He asked me.

But I didn't know what to tell him. I mean, if he was Mohit's family or one of the relatives, then I was supposed to be his wife, otherwise, I was his housekeeper.

" I asked you first. "

" Well, I am Robin. I am Mohit's... Friend, best friend... You can say we are very close. Extremely close. "

Oh, so he is Robin. I remember that man in the restaurant mentioning him.

" Oh, ok... I am Srusti, I work here. "

" You work here?? What kind of work?? "

" I look after this home and cook for Mohit Ji. "

" Oh my God !!! You can cook too??? Amazing!!! "

" Thank you. " I gave him a polite smile.

" By the way, have you learnt singing from somewhere?? I mean are you a professional singer?? "

" No, but I was planning to take training to be a singer. But then my parents died and I could not... "

" Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. But your voice is so melodious. Do you mind, if I suggest your name to one of the music composers?? "

" You would?? Seriously?? "

" Absolutely... Your voice is delightful. Everyone should hear it. "

" Thank you so much... Oh!! how rude of me... Please have a seat. What can I get for you?? "

" Nothing... I was hoping to catch Mohit. But, I would come again another time. Please don't tell Mohit that I came. He doesn't even know that I am in Delhi. I want to give him a surprise. We haven't met for almost a year... He would go crazy when we meet. Please it is a request, I want to surprise him. "

" Sure, I won't !! "

" Thanks, beautiful... see you later. "

" At least have a cup of tea or coffee. It would take just 5 minutes. "

" No thanks, but I promise, next time when I come, I won't leave so soon. I would love to spend some quality time with Mohit... and you. " He said with a smile.

" Sure. "

" Hey, why don't you give me your contact number?? I would forward it to a friend of mine. I am sure he would give you a chance of singing. "

" Ok !! "

Give me your phone, I would give a missed call on my number. You can save it. I am sure you are going to get a chance. In fact, I would highly recommend it. " he said and I gave my phone to him.

He dialled his own number and gave a missed call on his phone.

" Please don't tell Mohit. I was planning a surprise for him."

" Yeah, rest assured."

" Beauty, brains and talent... All in one. Awesome... " He said and I felt a bit awkward, but didn't say anything.

" See you later, and expect a call soon. Please be ready. Actually, I must record a little of you singing the song. It would convince him better. "

" Err... I... "

" Don't feel shy, just pretend that I am not even here. Just sing as you were singing earlier. " I felt a bit awkward but he insisted and he was not some stranger, he was Mohit's best friend. So I sang the same song again. He applauded and asked me to sing one more song.

I sang another song, Ae dil-e naadaan

Ai dil-e-naadaan, ai dil-e-naadaan
Araju kya hai, justaju kya hai

Ham bhatakate hain, kyon bhatakate hain, dashton-sehara mein
Aisa lagata hai, mauj pyaasi hai apane dariya mein
Kaisi ulajhan hai, kyon ye ulajhan hai
Ek saaya sa rubaru kya hai

Kya kayaamat hai, kya musibat hai
Kah nahin sakate, kisaka aramaan hai
Zindagi jaise khoi khoi hai, hairaan hairaan hai
Ye jmin chup hai, asamaan chup hai
Fir ye dhadkan si chaar-su kya hai

I finished my songs, he recorded both the songs.

" Beautiful, mesmerizing... Delightful voice. You need to sing for people. I would talk to that composer. Bye, see you soon."

He took his leave after saying that I should be ready for an audition. I thanked him.

I was very excited about it and wanted to share it with someone. But I thought of waiting till I get the call for an audition.

I was very happy so I thought to prepare a very elaborate meal for Mohit.

I went to the kitchen to see if I had all the ingredients for that. I found out that a few of the things were not there. So I made a list of all those things and a few more things which were about to be finished.

I picked up my bag and took the keys to one of Mohit's car and went to the nearest mall. He told me to use anyone I wanted, so I usually drive this one as it looked less expensive and a bit old. But I was comfortable using it.

I reached a mall and went to a supermarket. I took a push trolley and collected everything I wanted and went to the billing counter and after paying for everything, I came out.

I was passing a corridor that led to the exit to the parking. My car was parked just outside the door. The corridor was almost empty, I was about to go out when someone caught my hand.

I was scared as hell but I turned to see who it was. I was shocked to see that the owner of that filthy hand.

Oh No !!!! He was the last person I wanted to see. He was smiling devilishly at me.

" So, you are here in the city till now?? Hmmm, expensive clothes, phone, expensive groceries... where have you been all these days?? Whom are you living with?? You are looking more beautiful now?? What happened?? Who is providing for you?? Sleeping with some stranger already?? So what was the problem with me?? " He said, showing his cheap mentality.

" Leave my hand and get lost!!" I shouted.

" Why, now that you are more experienced, how about pleasing me a bit too. At least consider that we are family. "

" You are not my family, would never be."

" C'mon come back home with me. You get to stay with your sister and I get you in my bed."

" Shut up !!! Leave my hand or I would kill you. "

" How ?? Still carry a knife in your bag?? "

" Leave me !!! "

" How dare you hurt me with a knife that day?? "

" HELP !!!! HELP !!! " I shouted but I didn't see anyone around.

" He caught my hand and twisted it behind my back. I was crying in pain.

Just then someone punched him very hard. I was so relieved to see someone helping me. He was a very good looking man. He was punching him in the stomach and just below his jaw.
