I looked at the sky and sighed.

I will feel happy whenever I look at the stars, MA - Papa Merry Christmas.....

It's already late I should catch the bus and reach home.

I felt vibration in my bag.

Phone?

I never keep in vibration mode.

I took my phone out and it was from unknown number.

I received the call.

R " Hello??"

Uttara??

Huh?

who r u?? Where is my sister?

R " I don't know what u r talking about."

Girl, u don't know with whom u r messing up. Just tell me where is my sister

R " Sister?? "

yeah, my sister Uttara Maheshwari

That cafe girl I think!!

R " Uttara?? OK, so u r her brother?"

yes, now just tell me where is she??

R " That u should ask her, y have u called me?? By the way how did u get my number?"

I have called to her phone only.

I gasped seeing the phone.

This is not my phone?? But this looks so similar.

what r u?? A phone thief??

What??

R " I am sorry, actually I met her in a cafe and may be I got her phone instead of mine."

He sighed.

R " She will be coming back to ur house don't worry."

There was a silence from that side, may be he is thinking about their fight.

I felt a shadow towering me and I started walking little faster.But I heard the shuffling sound, I don't want to turn back, what if he.....ssh don't think like that.

I turned and saw three guys following me.

They are not his men but I am in danger for sure.

R " Hey, who r u?? Why r u guys following me?Stop right there. "

I started to run.

what's happening?

where r u?

I saw a small pathway and hid there. I looked at my phone and heard his voice.

R " He... Hello??"

where r u??

R " I.... I am near XYZ bus stop and I... I am hiding near a closed pathway."

Make sure they don't see u, don't make noise, I will be there within 10minutes

He will be here??

That too for me?

A stranger?

R " u....u will be there??"

I started to hear travelling sound.

He is coming here to save me??

don't u dare cut the call.

I didn't reply him but remembered the similar incident which led me to meet someone.

That someone who became the reason for my happiness as well as sadness.

Everything is my Fate.

But I know one thing that I can't be happy anymore. I have lost my parents and on the same day I lost my own identity.

Are u there?? Did something happened to u??

I blinked hearing opposite side.

R " I... I am fine, they didn't see me hiding here, I think I can move out of here "

Don't u dare move out of there, stay where u r, I will be there in two minutes.

R " what?? "

U heard me.

I gulped.

There was a strong authority in his voice, I smiled seeing his helping nature.

He is right though what if those guys are still waiting for me.

I am here, come out from the hiding place.

I took my bag and came out of the small pathway.

I saw a car and man standing beside that.

I couldn't see his face as he was looking here and there, may be looking for me?

Where r u?

R " May be in front of u."

He started coming towards me and I was able to see him.

Is he Christmas Santa?

Because he came like a God tonight to save me!!

Indeed he is looking like a Greek God.

He showed me his phone and I nodded.

************************************

May be in front of u.

I looked at my front and saw a beautiful girl. Her face was shining due to all the lights here.

Instantly my anger raised.

What is she doing here,on a lonely road?

L " don't u care about ur safety? What if something happened to u?? Did u see the time?? "

She blinked.

Cool down Lakshya.

L " come, I will drop u to ur place "

She again blinked.

L " what?? "

She followed me till the car and I opened the passenger door for her to sit.

I started driving while I can feel her continuous stares.

It's common for me to see someone staring at me. As I am rich, famous businessman and even handsome. But why I am feeling nervous knowing this girl is staring me.

May be she came to know who I am?? May be want an autograph from me?

I remember one time a teenage girl stopped my car just to get a photo with me.

She cleared her throat and I turned towards her.

Thanks for today. I don't know what would have happened if those guys caught me there.

I just nodded.

Who are u??

She asked....

What??

I pressed the brake suddenly which caused us to jerk forward.

I don't want to die on Christmas day,  please drive properly.

I glared her.

L " what did u ask me?? "

Who are u?? I mean u came as a savior for me so atleast I should know What's ur name.

Is she kidding me??

Everyone knew who I am!!

L " I am Lakshya Maheshwari "

Lakshya Maheshwari

She tested my name while I felt something when I heard my name from her.

I have heard this name before, but I don't remember. I heard her whisper.

L " what's ur name?? "

Ragini

Ragini, nice name.

R " wait, u didn't even ask my address "

She looked nervous.

I wanted to laugh at her.

L " u realized quite early "

She pouted.

R " my mind was blank, thinking about my night adventure"

I sighed.

L " I am taking u to my place "

R " why? "

L " it's already late, my place is near to this area and above that u should exchange ur phone with my sister also "

She nodded.

R " what about Uttara?? God!!  How can I forget about her?? U wanted to confirm her safety but ended here. What if she is in trouble "

L " will u keep ur mouth shut and let me speak."

She looked at me.

L " she reached home, my friend has messaged me "

She sighed.

We reached my mansion.

I was looking at her to see any surprised or shocked reaction.

My mansion is the biggest one here and whoever sees this will open their mouth wide and drool over this but this girl is shocking me with her behavior.

She didn't even find me handsome to flirt and not surprised by my rich mansion? Wait, what am I thinking??
I never liked if someone flirts with me then why am I expecting from this girl?

Ragini??

I heard my sister's voice and suddenly she hugged her.

U " why did u stay out for such a long time after u left the cafe?? "

R " I... I... I was watching the stars and I didn't get to know I stayed for a long time"

U " we met again and u r safe at last that's what it's important "

She turned towards me while I raised my eyebrows.

U " chollyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

She hugged me suddenly while I smiled.

What to do?? I love her even though she pranks on me.

Raj " what a scene?? Bro - sis bonding, but don't forget we have a guest here "

I turned towards Ragini who was smiling looking at us.

R " Uttara here take ur phone and I am sorry "

U " it's OK, infact I didn't even realize that it was exchanged,when Raj told me then only I checked my phone. "

She smiled.

U " but I won't give ur phone back "

************************************

U " but I won't give ur phone back "

I looked at her confused.

U " u have to stay atleast for two days with me here, it's Christmas time plzzzzz "

R " but I have work and "

L " let us get inside mansion first "

Uttara held my hand and took me inside.

Mansion was really beautiful and it gave a small memory of another mansion.

Raj " So, Ms. Ragini ur place is far from here why did u stay so long? "

R " I liked the cafe where I met Uttara, it gives me homely feeling so I travelled here and lost my time viewing sky."

U " No more questions now, let's enjoy some girl time Ragini"

I chuckled looking at her.

U " u can stay here till ur Christmas holidays "

R " No, how can I stay here? I am grateful for what ur brother has done for me tonight and u ppl have given me space to stay here that's more for me "

Raj " u r special "

He whispered while I just smiled.

L " u didn't call anyone? "

I was confused.

L " I mean to say, u didn't call ur parents that u won't be there at ur place "

R " I... Uhm I have lost my parents "

They became sad hearing me.

R " it's ok don't feel sad for me. They will be always with me "

Raj " u r staying alone in London? "

I nodded.

Raj " wow!! Pretty girls like u would have been with their boyfriends "

Uttara hit him while I laughed.

R " I don't have someone like that"

***********************************

Raj is right!!

I mean she is really beautiful.

Why don't she have a boyfriend?

And why am I feeling happy hearing that.

Get a grip Lakshya.

U " see even u r staying alone at ur place so atleast let's celebrate Christmas together. "

She reluctantly nodded.

U " bhai,I will take Ragini to my room"

She dragged her to her room.

Raj " u saved a life bro "

L " thank god she was hiding safely. I didn't see anyone there but still report to officer about this so that it should not repeat in future to anyone "

He nodded.

Raj " I will leave now"

L " it's already late stay here only, anyhow u have ur own room here"

He nodded and moved to his room.

Raj, he is really my best friend. He was with me when I lost my parents. He gave me his shoulder in my each step and I gave him space in my heart as well as my mansion.

Infact I always tell him to stay with us here but he won't listen.

I went to my room and sighed.

I should first call my interior designer tomorrow to get my room back to its state.

My sister has turned to devil.

But I must say, her meeting Ragini and their phone getting exchanged, I went to save her, it's all our FATE. What if I reached little late?? What if they caught her? I don't want to think about that.

I closed my eyes to welcome the sleep.
