POV: Narrator

Winter began to take over the dry Autumn.

The holidays were here.

Cristina's words were bothering Clazer. What did she mean? Does she hate Sirania?

Both Sirania and Cristina left for America to meet their so-called lovely mom or the Target.

Clazer was shocked by Vinneta's behavior as she was ignoring him and he didn't meet her for almost 2 weeks now. They hit the deadline of those conditions.

Did she forget something so important?

Or was Vinneta trying to suppress her feelings for Clazer by staying away?

Jacob was busy because of the increased orders in the shop as Christmas was near.

Clazer's phone began to ring on the table and the name that came up on the phone was Vinneta. He got all hyped up with energy, awaiting the clue Vinneta promised.

"Hello, Vinneta!" he received the call with excitement.

"Hello, Clazer, I need your help, please. My mom met with an accident!" she was breathing heavily and sounded scared... (so she called Clazer when she needed him... ok....)

"What, where?" Clazer got nervous too.

"Please help, she is in a lot of pain. In St Thomas' Hospital of London."

Clazer rushed as fast as he can, he informed Jacob too and got to know that he was called too and was rushing to the hospital as well.

Vinneta was crying near the hospital door when Clazer saw her, he felt a pang in his heart when he saw her crying. Jacob was right behind Clazer, he increased his pace towards Vinneta but Clazer ran and reached her before Jacob could.

"What happened to your mom?" Clazer said building up all the sympathy he could.

"A car hit her..." Vinneta replied breathing heavily. She gripped Clazer's shoulders for support. Jacob reached towards them.

"Where is she now?" Jacob asked her.

"Operation theatre," she replied sobbing.

"I will complete all the hospital formalities, Jacob and Clazer look after Vinneta." Mr. Smith ordered them rushing toward the reception of the hospital.

"Vinneta, everything will be fine," Jacob said holding Vinneta's hand. He literally snatched her away from poor Clazer like a sweet cat.

She had broken her Left arm bone and even had little injury over her head, after the successful operation, the doctor informed me that she was stable. However, the doctor said that they need to wait for her to wake up to tell if she will be able to walk again. It will be problematic if she doesn't wake up in the next 24 hours. Vinneta started crying hysterically and Jacob hugged her tightly.

Police were informed and the car that hit her was being searched. It was clear from the CCTV footage that Vinneta's mom was crossing the road carelessly which caused the accident and the driver was innocent.

Mr.Smith was so sweet to Vinneta and that explained why they sell so many cakes. He also informed her that the hospital needed her mom's, Health Card.

"I have some urgent work to deal with too. I will be back in 10 to 15 minutes. Also, I will bring my mom's medical card. Clazer can you help me, Jacob will look after Mom." Vinneta asked once she had stopped crying.

Jacob nodded yes.

Clazer agreed to drive her, he drove the car at 90 km/hr and asked her where to.

"To the Church, to meet the Clergyman," she ordered him.

Clazer didn't ask why? He just agreed, they found him easily. Vinneta was scared but was acting tough.

The clergyman noticed Vinneta as soon as they reached the gate of the Church.

"I know everything that happened." The Clergyman said looking at them.

"Are you really God's messenger, why are you doing this? " Vinneta asked him.

"Clazer, can you leave us alone?" Vinneta demanded.

He walked out. He respects her emotions but couldn't kill the suspense building inside him, he managed to hear them talk.

......................

"Are you here to ask for your third wish?" The Clergyman asked.

"Is this a joke?" she ranted aloud.

"You know what to do.Don't take God for granted dear."

Vinneta has broken now, her voice became low.

"Help my mom. I want to use my 3rd wish, please save my mom, make her walk again."

"Granted, That depends on her fate now, in 3 weeks she will be fine.
I told you the conditions to these wishes,

1. Can't be used for powers.
2. Can't be greedy.
3. Can't kill someone.
4. Can't ask for life.

You, my dear, your mother will be out of danger but the process to heal the soul will take time, now you have only two left. You have to use it wisely."

Vinneta begged him, her knees touching the floor, tears falling freely.

With this, the Clergyman left, Vinneta wiped her tears, walked out, and asked Clazer to drive back, he didn't ask her anything, she was already broken. They entered the ICU and saw Ms. Kerd was still unconscious.

Clazer was shocked to see Vinneta making a wish and it turning into reality, but the fact he can't ask her any questions due to her condition,

Ms. Kerd regained consciousness after 20 hours of the surgery and thankfully her hands did not suffer permanent damage. They requested an early discharge for her which was granted on the word that she has to be under complete bed rest.

Her fate was to survive...or gods helped her.

................

13 December 2021
3 days after the accident.

Clazer called Vinneta and informed her that he was coming to meet her tonight at her place. He couldn't digest what he heard in Church that day, he reached on time he said he would come, but was in the basement and called her.

"I thought you won't come for my help. Since you were angry with me for some reason." Vinneta said sheepishly once she saw him.

"Why?" Clazer laughed.

"You look handsome today," she said pointing at his Red t-shirt.

"Oh, thanks. I wish you could have put on some makeup today."

"What? I never use makeup except for a gloss."

"Oh, really I didn't know... If my mom would have been with me I could clearly have understood that concept."

"Ask your girlfriend. So what brings you here? Want to go upstairs and have coffee?"

"Yeah! Sure but I'm here for your mother"

Vinneta laughed as they climbed upstairs.Clazer met Ms. Kerd first and then had a cup of coffee with them.

Ms. Kerd was perfect except for her left arm which didn't bend at the wrist joint as the doctors were scared of.

Clazer somehow distracted her mom and took Vinneta to another room.

"About Kabir, I know you were disturbed but his mom stays in this area... "

"I will work on it soon."Vinneta said ignoring the eye contact.

Clazer want to ask her but the courage didn't come,

"Fine then, I will leave now. Dad wants me to attend important meetings." Clazer said disappointed.

"Don't visit home till New Year," Vinneta warned him.

"Why?"

"My mom's friend's son is coming tomorrow to check on mom from America."

"Oh, I will love to meet him...I need to meet Americans"

"It's fine if you didn't."
...............

Vinneta locked herself in her room and started crying.

"Clazer, I am sorry but the house you visited is of Kabir, the one you were finding is right in front of you. The lesson you want to teach to Kabir's mom and dad are my mom and dad.

I never thought he was suffering this much. I always thought he was rich and I worked here day and night to earn a living.

I wish I could have helped him.
I hope he is safe wherever he is.

My mom divorced Dad because of his behavior, she stopped using his last name and added Kerd instead of Ruther.

My dad wasn't ready to give up his custody of one of the kids and mom couldn't do anything.

She is human too.

Kabir Ruther is my adopted brother, I am his step-sister.

But why does my heart hurt seeing you hunt for him, you should stop Clazer
