The time was 7.15pm when they reached The Harry's Restaurant in their Mercedes. Franklin, as usual gazed at the majestic appearance of his all time favorite hotel. The Harry's restaurant was a grand five-star hotel and it was one of the best hotels in the city. If you go to this hotel, you will have the tendency to eat all the dishes. Franklin's taste buds were addicted to the dishes served at this hotel. He admired the beauty of it.
They entered the hotel and they had booked a separate area foe celebrating the party. The area was so big and there was a stage to entertain them. The hotel was air-conditioned and the cool air welcomed Franklin's family. There were more than fifty guests and all were friends of Franklin. Paigne was searching for someone. She asked her friend to come to the party. Her eyes were eagerly waiting for his arrival. But her family members took their seats on the dining table and started to order their dishes. Paigne sat next to Jake in disappointment. All the guests took their respective seats and they too began to order. There were smiles on everyone's faces except on Paigne's face. Jake was the one who noticed the change in his sister's face. He said "What's wrong Paigne?"
Paigne got out from her thoughts and said "Nothing. I am just waiting for my friend." Jake considered it for a moment and said "Did you try to contact him?" Paigne said "No. But I'm sure that he will come".
Before Jake could speak the audience started to yell in happiness. Someone clapped. Both Jake and Paigne turned to see at the stage where most of the guests have gathered.
There was a man who was in late twenties standing on the stage holding a hand mike in his hands and audience were cheering him up to start his singing.
Few feet away from the stage, Paigne's face was delighted to see the man on the stage. She turned towards her brother and said "He is my friend".
Jake said "What is his name?"
Paigne replied "His name is Fatan Khan".
Fatan was her friend and she asked her to come to the party. He was a professional singer and had performed in many stages and received many rewards. Right now he gonna sing a song. All the guests applauded and cheered him. He sang,
"I will not have fear
When Paigne is near
She wipes up my tears
And I'm happy to hear
That she's here!
And she makes me cheer
When everything is dusty
Also all over misty
She's always with me
Yes she's my bestie
She changed my history!
And solved my life's mystery
....."
He continued his singing.
Several feet away, Paigne felt goose bumps on hearing the song sung by her bestie.
She smiled and looked at her brother Jake who was speechless. Jake turned to see her sister and said "Why did he sing like that?"
Paigne stared at her brother and said "What's wrong in that?"
"I mean why did he praise you?" Jake asked Paigne. Paigne let out a deep breath and said "A week before he lost his parents in an accident" .Jake was shocked and Paigne went on "The death day of his parents was his birthday. He called me through phone and said that…" Paigne stopped for a second and said "He's gonna commit suicide"
Jake was taken up on hearing Paigne. Something crashed into his mind. He said, "Can you tell me the names of his parents?"
Paigne thought for a moment and said, "Akhan Khan and Hema. They worked in our industry."
Jake lowered his voice and said, "I knew them well. I miss them".
Before Paigne could speak, she noticed a guy coming towards them. Paigne gave a smile on seeing the guy. It was Fatan Khan.
