Keyuri's POV

"Kahi dur jab din dhal jaye" (somewhere when the sun sets) was the song I was singing. Uncle was playing chords in guitar. Granny was just sitting there and enjoying. Providing me chorus in between. And whole crowd was cheering. I loved old hindi every green songs especially those Sung by Kishor Kumar .

I was approached my Kevin's father. We started our conversation with him asking me about my studies and how I had met Kevin. He asked me if I was enjoying the party. I replied that "Party is good especially the karaoke" . He asked me if I would like to sing too. I replied that I was more into Hindi songs. So I would prefer to sing old classical songs. Uncle seemed to be impressed and said "young lady, if you want to sing, I promise you I would play you the music". Before I could react, I found his granny joining the conversation "I too am fed up of English songs and want to hear something classy. I think that we three should go on the stage and rock the place." Uncle seemed to agree and he said "I would play guitar. Keyuri beta (beta means daughter) you sing". I Looked at granny. What would she do? "Oh I would just give my presence to the stage." She winked.

I was nervous. What if I made a blunder in front of such important guests? What if they don't accept me after that? Sensing my nervousness Kevin'S father said "dear it's okay if you sing a wrong lyric. We all are a family. And such things doesn't matter". Kevin's father had looked into my eyes and said this meaningfully. Was I part of this family? Does that mean I was accepted? I smiled this time. All nervousness gone.

So we all got on the stage with uncle positioning himself on the right side of the stage and granny on the left and me at the middle. I now didn't care if this performance was a disaster. I was here to enjoy some family time and have some fun.
