3 years later
lucy quit the hotel she was working in because she got an offer from another big hotel.... she recommended jack in the same place and jack got a job in the same hotel.... bob, lucy's friend from the previous hotel quit his work there and came along with lucy....
lucy and jack grew so close that nothing could ever seperate them.... the rented the same house.... bob was right above their house... all three hung around together....
jack with his influence tried to find lucy's parents but so far everything is a fail.... both of them didn't lose their hope.... kept fighting the reality and surviving .... and hoping for the best
it was a hectic day.... everyone in the hotel were working so hard.... things kept going wrong.... they had to do everything twice.... everybody was exhausted.... lucy had to add a new item in the menu to compensate the palate of the customers.... it was a dish that she had been working for a very long time...
it looked like a bird taking its flight..... the dish was visually stunning and it had 7 flavours and 11 layers that was perfectly balanced.... plated with at most care and attention..... it was a really complicated dessert in which even the slightest mistake could turn the dish to be the greatest failure....
right after the first plate of the bird's flight went out... the orders started flooding in.... because it was so tough no one except lucy can make it.... she had to do it all alone.... from preparing the wings to tempering the chocolate and plating..... there was no room for error because this is already a compensation they are giving...
the customers really enjoyed the surreal creation of lucy.... special orders kept coming.... lucy had to push through the time.... such complicated dish will take a humongous amount of time to complete... after a certain amount of time they had to stop the orders of bird's flight because it was impossible for lucy to complete the present orders....
many food reviewers and critics gave really generous praise for the dish that increased the fame of the hotel.... the started giving 5 serves a day, every day.... lucy kept doing many new dishes that were stunning.... many rich and famous people started visiting the hotel...
one day a fallen boy band group called BEAST visited the hotel they too had one of lucy's delicacie.... the wished to see the chef and thank her face to face...
the manager came inside the kitchen
"lucy!! there are some people who would like to thank you for your delicacie.... can you come out??"
"please say them i recieved their thanks and there is no need for them to thank me..."
"lucy... they are really famous people!!"
"i don't cook to become famous sir... and you know that.... if i go out now i will have to stop all these works here and i don't want to be known to everyone.... let me be an anonymous chef who cooks delicacies "
"are you sure about this... jack why don't you speak to her??"
"no sir... if that is what lucy wishes then let that be... i too support her" replied jack
"ok then... there is nothing i can do" and the manager left and told them that the chef likes to be kept in the dark.... but the members of the group stephen, damon, Jeremy and their manager(called mann by the members) insisted on seeing the chef...
the hotel manager had no choice but to accept them but he also did not want lucy to know about them knowing her.... so he asked them to wait until her shift was over....
after about 2 hours lucy, jack and bob left the hotel.... lucy was on the right, jack was in the center and bob was walking on the left.... the manager was not totally willing to say her name or anything about her... he only accepted on showing her...he was afraid of lucy's temper and he was more afraid of jack and bob getting angry after lucy was pissed....
the manager slowly slide to their table... whispered in the ears of jeremy that the chef is out and is on the right of the three members.. and he rushed back into the kitchen....
meanwhile while all three were walking bob and jack kept fighting over silly things.... so lucy pushed jack to the right and came to the centre....
after the hotel manager told the chef was on the right.. the members set out to follow them.... they kept searching for them and finally saw three people walking down the street.... a girl and two guys.... they saw jack and as the manager told them he was on the right so... the decided that jack was the anonymous chef who has been cooking those delicacies.... the decided to get to know him... so they approached them...
once they went close to an audible distance.... they heard an awesome melody.... a soothing song... the voice had a magical effect on people who heard it.... it was like a magnet that pulled positive vibes..... it had the tendency to purify one's soul and mind... it can calm down any broken heart... it can heal any wound.... at first they thought they were playing a song on their mobile... after following a while the realised that it was lucy that was singing the song.... the slowly followed them listening to her song....
"lucy now i want something jumpy.... ready 1...2..3" intervened bob
lucy started another song perfectly on bob's count.... this time it was not a melodious song... it was a song that gave you energy.... it was jumpy.... it was fun.... it made you dance.... it made you feel the beat that didn't even exist.....all three started dancing... jumping on their way... the members were shocked but they were also mesmerised by her talent...
"something that makes us cry" told jack
"aghh you spoil the fun...." argued bob...
"this is the actual game...." replied jack
"stop fighting now" shouted lucy...
"on 3..2..1"
again... lucy started singing a different song... as jack asked it to be emotional.... this song was emotional too... it was painful.... it tore your heart apart.... it blew the member's sock off.... they were astonished by her voice, her skill, the way she uses it.... now all of a sudden they forgot about the chef and they were interested in knowing who lucy was....
just like every manager the mann of BEAST also wanted lucy to join the group... so they decided to speak among themselves and see if everyone was ok with lucy joining the group.... so the stopped tailing them and went back to their base...
"how was she guys?? what do you think about her??" asked mann
"her skills are exceptional.... she must have polished them for a very long time" answered jeremy
"she has a natural voice but to use it like that.... it is really amazing.... she would have worked really had to bring it to this level" continued damon
"but her voice seems really delicate!! will she be able to adapt to our practicing style??what if our style ruins her voice??" questioned stephen...
"you too are right... but to bring her voice to this level she too would have practiced a lot!! i think she might get adapted!!"
the members agreed to mann and decided to ask lucy to join the group... but as they stopped following them in half way.. they didn't know where her house is... so they had to go the restaurant back again the next day.... wait for her to leave and then follow her again..... while they were waiting the decidedto try jack's delicacie again.... today's dessert was different from yesterday both from taste and look....
today's dessert looked like black box on the outside... when they cracked into it... they were not able to believe their eyes.... it was a rainbow hidden inside the black box.... it was the most beautiful thing they have ever seen... they were in awe again..... it was so delicious that they even forgot the reason they came here....
lucy, bob and jack as usual after their shift left the hotel.... the members also follow them.... lucy was singing just like yesterday.... the boys kept changing and lucy adapted to it easily....
after a while they reached home.... now the guys also know where lucy stays....
"so the anonymous chef and the singer are in a relationship uhh??" asked jeremy
"looks like it" replied damon
"they are quite a match" continued stephen
"ok no dilly dally let us go talk to them" mann brought them on track again....
all four of them went to their door... and knocked it....
"let me answer it" told jack
he opened the door
"good morning sir.."
"good morning!! how can i help you?"
"sir i am the manager of the boy band BEAST and this is our team.."
" ohh wow... it is you guys... its good to see you after a long time.... so how can i help you??"
"can we come in please.."
"sure... come on in.... lucy..."
"what is it Jackie??" lucy came out of her room in night dress...
she did not know that there were guests so she just came out... so jack rushed to her and whispered
"sweetie... we have guests... go change into normal ware"
lucy rushed in .... the members thought she was cute.. lucy got changed and came to the hall..
"sweetie some water please.."
"mmm.. yes" she went in and brought all of them a glass of water...
the members thought she was really a responsible girl....
jack made lucy sit beside him and told
"lucy!! these guys are from a famous band group...this is Jeremy, Damon, Stephen and this is their manager!!"
Jeremy was a fun looking handsome guy.... he was not very tall he was neither short..... he had blond hair..... his eyes were like an apple... they were red in colour.... he looked like he was quite talkative....
Damon on the other hand looked super handsome and he was tall.... he had died his hair blue.... his figure was great... looked like he works out.... he was gentlemanly.... any girl would fall for him.....
Stephen the current team leader.... he looked a little cold.... he had black hair.... he too was tall... his figure was not as good as damon but it was good.... his eyes were like ice..... he was not like a lead that comes in idol dramas.... he was quite cold... but he also looked gentle.... his looks were like he bothered about nothing....
the manager looked younger than he is... he was the smallest of all four.. he wore glasses.... he was decently dressed and he looked like you could trust him.... he also looked like a whimp... but he looked reliable
"hi everyone. i am lucy!!" she was quite overwhelmed
the others greet her too....
Lucy's smile was really warm to them... she was like an angle for people who have been in need of warmth ... she was like a matchstick that is used to light up the candle that brightens the whole room.... she was like a setting sun, warm and soothing...
the members felt like she was the beam of light they have been searching for all these years.... they saw a positive aura around her.... as all of them were staring at lucy.... she felt a little uncomfortable and jack became little over protective ....
he pulled her near him "wolfie go bring some snacks will ya!!"
Lucy also used this opportunity to escape the tension in the room.....jack's intention was also fulfilled....
"so what can we do for you guys??"
"ahh yes... we totally forgot about that... let me get straight to the point.... we once heard lucy sing briefly.... her voice and skill amazed us.... we would like to take her as a part of our group!! what do you guys say?? of course we will make her official... we have prepared a contract... you can read it.... and if you are satisfied with all the clauses in it... you guys can sign the contract right now!! even if you have any amendments in your mind... you can inform us and we will do the necessities..."
"you want her to join the group??" jack was shocked
"i know it is a lot to take in at a stretch.... please take your time we would love if she comes..."
lucy did not know what to do.... she looked at jack .... jack understood she was confused so he did all the talking....
they talked for a while and the guys left.....
"that girl was quiet all the time!! it was that chef who did all the talking.... is she not the kind of person who talks a lot??" doubted jeremy
"i think she will talk only to those who she knows!!" added stephen
"Guys we are totally new to her... did you not hear him saying she came to this country 3 years ago only.... so there is very chance she might have known us.... she will talk once we give her some time..." argued damon
"now now... stop it.. we don't even know if she will join the group... let us wait and see" as usual... mann calmed them down....
whilst inside jack was thinking if he should let her join or not....
"how about we just stay like this.... i am already settled here... why bother go to that group "
"idiot.... if you go to that group you can be really famous...moreover they were a successful band group once.... you too like singing right!!"
"but if i join them i have to move out of here... i will not be able to see you!!" lucy said pouting
"ohhh sweetie.. but if you become famous we might find your family more easily.... you will get the influence of many people then we can find them... that is the reason i am thinking...."
"ohh yes... you are right if i know a lot of people i can find my family easily... wow jack what am i going to do without you" said lucy hugging him....
"let me read the contract now.... i will see if we have to change anything or if it is ok... then we will sign it..."
"ok Jackie "
after a while.....
"lucy.. i finished reading this.... it is all good... you can sign this now"
"okie..." lucy without even thinking twice signed the contract and handed it over to jack....
"we have started a new journey of our quest now little wolf.... i will make sure we will get to it this time.... your brother promises this to you sweetheart"....
NEXT DAY
"guys your new teammate is going to come to the base today...she is going to stay here from now.... since she is the only girl in this group and since she is the new one here... it is you guys who have to adjust with her... make sure you don't scare her... be friendly with her.... she may be the reason for our comeback... remember why we decided to take her in.. ya she has a great voice but never forget guys we have someone that we have to beat... we have to show people that we can survive even if we don't have him with us...that we are not idols for our face or our physique.... it is our own talent that brought us up."
"Don't worry mann we will take care of her... all of us will never forget that night... and what he did to us... we will never forgive him... we will show him that he is not needed anymore.." replied damon
"we just have to take care of Stephen not scaring her off!!" said Jeremy mocking Stephen.... Jeremy's action may have seemed to be funny but he tried to lighten the mood.... he tried to cut through the tension that was enveloping the room..
"just shut up jeremy" stephen was embarrassed as he was never good at communicating.... he sometimes scared some people while he was just talking....
the members spent some time speaking to each other mocking each other... complaining things to mann.. waiting for lucy and jack until they come to the base.....
"hello everyone....!!" entered jack with lucy hiding behind him
"hi jack!! where is lucy?? guys!! they are here... come on down"
the other members came to the door to receive their new teammate.. all of them were careful to show her that she doesn't have to be afraid of them and can make herself home...
"hi!!"
Lucy came out from jack's shadow... the members wished her and helped jack take lucy's luggage into her room.... lucy went behind them to her room
"you go talk to them... i will arrange the room for you" said jack
"okie"
lucy went down with the members and they got to know each other .... jack called lucy from the room after a while...
"lucy... come on see your room"
"uhh!! you like it right?"
"mmmm yes.."
"ok then come on down"
"come here lazy bundle"
"just come down i believe in your memory and our bond.."
"shut up and come here..."
"aghhh idiot... i will come back in a minute guys... or this buffalo will not let me die in peace "
"i can still hear you..."
"i wanted you to!!"
"yes i believed you"
lucy went up cursing and mumbling about him.... the members thought they were cute together...
"here i am" she was standing there folding her hands and pouting
"how is this??"
once she saw the room her eyes were gleaming in surprise....
"wowwww... it is perfect.... just like my room in our old house"
"good that you know it... and it is never your old house... that is your house now too..."
"idiot" chuckles
"come here"
jack sits on the bed and makes her sit beside him.... lucy sits near him putting her head on his shoulder.... the members came near their room too...their young souls wanted some love to heal them... from all the pressure and work
inside the room....
"stay safe... call me often.... my mobile will be waiting for your call 24/7 ... you can call me anytime.... never hide anything from me...if i ever know you hid anything i will kill you... no matter what stay safe.. if you get hurt here i will make you quit the team the next second... keep that in your mind... remember what i told you in the hospital... i will always be there for you.... keep it in your mind"
"i will miss you jackiee" hugs him tightly
"silly girl.. where am i going to go?? i will come ovee whenever you want me to.... no matter day or night.... storm or drought.... you are my life... take care of me for you... eat well.... well i don't have to say that to you.... sleep well.. that is all i ask you... ok??... never miss your sleep... you heard him say right!! "
"yes... you too... sleep well... i will call you often... don't fight with bob... he is a good guy... you too know right he does it for us to be happy.... tell him i will call him often too... ask him to call me too....and about mom... make sure you visit her every weekends.... i too will try to come see her now and then...."
"ok wolfie.. i will leave now!!"
"ahh!! don't go ... why are you leaving already??"
"i have to go get some sleep sweetie i should go to the hotel right!!"
"ok... go get some sleep"
"bye little wolf"
"bye jack"
as they finish talking the members slowly slide down to the hall and sit as if nothing had happened .... all of them were smiling as they were filled with love.... they thought they were a perfect match for each other... both of them understood each other... they were like one soul in two bodies....
after jack and lucy came down jack spoke with the others for a while and left....
lucy was really down seeing jack leave...
"lucy... you can take the whole day today and get adapted to this place... we will start our work tomorrow"
"ok sir..."
"please don't call me sir.. you can call me mann, just like the others do"
" ok mann"
"i still have some works to do... you guys can do whatever you want... i will leave now"
after mann left the guys took lucy on a home tour... the showed her all the places like music room... study room... gym...kitchen.
after a while they got the food delivery which mann had ordered...
"do you guys always eat take out food??"
"yes.." answered jeremy while he was still eating...
"oh god... from today on i will cook for you guys... i will ask mann to take me to the market tomorrow... i will buy all the needed ingredients from there..."
"ok then... we have a new chef with us"
the members spoke about each other for a whole day.... all of them became so close.. it was like the knew each other for many years.... no one who met them just now will accept that they met today only....
for the surprise of jeremy and damon.. Stephen seemed to enjoy lucy's company..... he was the most talkative guy in the whole room that day...it was because lucy was a good listener.... she did not simple listen she reacted to their story too!! this made lucy attached to many people....
damon also was not a guy who talks a lot he too was enjoying the company of lucy.... he was always a good listner but never the talker... jeremy and stephen felt like he opened up to her too!!
as jeremy was always a good talker he was never the listing type of guy... but he tends to listen to lucy talking too!!
everyone around her started changing without their own consent....
guys who never looked up on a girl as they were idols now started to live with a girl who is changing them into prefect human without they themselves noticing it....
