Once the rings were exchanged, Mrs . Xie got off and hurried towards the three of them . She enveloped Jia Li in a tight hug .

"I am very upset with you . Is this the time to reach for your closest friend's important day?" she scolded all of them gently .

"We are very sorry, aunty . I caused the delay, so don't be angry with these two . There was something unavoidable, which had cropped up at my end last minute . But we are here now", smiled Jia Li .

"Yes aunty, and we have something special planned for Tang . For that we are going to need your help", said Li Jie, with a wink .

It was becoming increasingly difficult for Tang to concentrate on his immediate surroundings . Mr . Liang was apparently intent on introducing him to the entire population who was in attendance . Perhaps some of his discomfort showed on his face because his father walked up to Mr . Liang and whisked him away smoothly . Tang scanned the crowd for a sign of his friends but could not see even one of them .

"Looking for someone in particular?" asked Mei Zhen, a touch too casually .

"I am trying to find my friends . I saw them today after a really long time", he replied, matching her tone .

"Ladies and Gentlemen, can we have your attention please", beckoned the DJ who had been flown in especially from New York for the party .

Tang didn't pay heed as the guy went on prattling about the plan for the evening .

"Where the h.e.l.l is she? Why can't I see her anywhere? They couldn't have left this place already", he despaired .

Suddenly he heard her voice, "Mei Zhen, many congratulations and best wishes from the three of us . Now what I am going to share with you, please accept it as our engagement gift to you . It is a secret about your fiancé, one that I am sure he hasn't shared with you yet . And I can say it with confidence because I know the reason for it – he is too modest, always has been . The truth is that you are going to get married to a closet Rockstar . "

Jia Li continued speaking even when a collective laugh went up at her announcement .

"Did you know that your serious looking and well-groomed beau once sported dreadlocks and only wore the shabbiest clothes . Oh, not to forgot the love for his guitar, which accompanied him even to the washroom", she confided via the microphone .

"And Jia Li forgot to give you the most important piece of information . He was the lead guitarist and singer with us as hangers-on . We called ourselves the 'Aspirants'," added Chung amidst hooting from the guests who had gathered around the dance floor by now .

Mei Zhen crooked her arm possessively through Tang's and brought him to the forefront as Jia Li took the microphone back from Chung . Not only had the three of them found a guitar and a drum set along with the keyboard, they had also managed to change their clothes . In tight fitting denims and vest, Li Jie took over the keyboard just like old times . Chung was sporting a similar look and started testing the drums .

But Tang registered all this dimly, somewhere at the back of his head . His attention was focused on the girl sporting a bright orange bandana over her gorgeous hair . Skinny jeans and long boots were making her look taller than her measly 5'2 height . Metal bangles dangled in her wrists and Jim Morrison adorned her t-s.h.i.+rt . He didn't even realize that a huge grin was stuck on his face . He was immersed in the moment completely .

The only thought in his head was, "which song is she going to sing for me?" Once the rings were exchanged, Mrs . Xie got off and hurried towards the three of them . She enveloped Jia Li in a tight hug . I am very upset with you . Is this the time to reach for your closest friends important day? she scolded all of them gently . We are very sorry, aunty .
