She moved out that night. after two weeks. the new apartment life went peacefully But then the next day suddenly in the night the door bell rang and she opened the door being cautious.

The two unknown face with luggage were standing there. They said

'Who are you? And what are you doing in our house?'

'What? What do you mean? this is my house sir?'

'Miss we have papers and documents this is our house. We just came back from buisness trip. Why are you here miss?'

the couple said being amazed.

'Well there is a misunderstanding. I also have papers, wait a minute.'

she panicked.

She took out the papers and showed them.

'Well miss you look a professional. Can't you see the govt. seal mark is fake. You have been conned.'

they said.

She was so shocked. Her heart almost stopped for that moment and she thought "what is happening?"

'How can is this possible I have been here for 2 weeks. And I gave my money too.'

the couple standing at the gate for a while now got angry and they started forcing her. 'Miss would you please get out or else we call police?'

being unable to think straight she just started begging. 'Wait can't you give me time till tomorrow? I will ask that man about this. We have talked many times after the deal. He will come for sure.'

'Miss can't you hear. You are surely scammed and where we would go for tonight? And why would we? Get out right now!'

She moved out all flustered and ready to cry out. It's already early winter. Its chilling outside.

She said "what the hell is happening? It's chilling. What to do now? First let's call that bastard." She continuously calls him but the phone is unreachable.

"What is happening how can this could happen? I signed the paper and … she soon completely became speechless as she realised that she is conned by him.

"What to do?" she cried.

In the middle of the street. Alone, no one around. the street lamb above her also broken out and she cried out loud.

"My money … my home ...….my hope"

"What should I do?!! It's so cold here." she continued crying she called Maggie

"Hello? Maggie I'm conned by him he takes all my money"

"What are you talking about?" Maggie flinched and got worried. Alora cried out loud.

Maggie shouted hey "where are you? Why are you crying? what the hell happened girl? Tell me your location right now." Maggie reached there and alora explained her everything. They both went to Maggie's house.

That night they both just went to sleep after drinking.

The next day in the morning Alora woke up with the hangover. Maggie gave her medicine. At the breakfast table. Maggie asked 'are you okay now?'

"Hmm" she replied while scratching her head.

'What are you going to do now?' She said while putting plates on the table.

Alora beats the table and said 'what should I?! I should find that jerk and take my money back.' as she does, the plates fell off.

"Girl! Easy! my plates fell off. I'm am dead. My mother is not going to leave me for this"

"Sorry!!"

she sighed.

'Am going to boutique and you go to hospital. make a way as soon as possible my parents are coming here by Tuesday so

you have only 2 days.' And she went away.

She stopped at the police station and reported all about it. The police officer also tonned her about how can a psychologist herself got conned by the stupid act of a con artist. She moved straighten to the hospital. Next day The news has spread about the incident in the whole hospital and everybody started to talked about her. not even at the back but at her face. The weird rumors also have started but she kept ignoring them.

Later at the day. Dr. park called her in his office and said to accompany him for a ceremony. She refused.

Dr. park said 'I am not asking you. I just said to come. It's because it'll brings advantage for you if come at ceremony like this. also help you to make acquaintance with big faces. I am a professional and I respect talent.' Taking his leave said these lines

Alora mummered "he could just have told me he worries about me. how cool!"

Dr. park had worked with alora for 3 years now. He is a young man in his 40s and he treat her as mentor but in a cold way.

She ran towards Maggie's home and Borrowed a beautiful red lace dress ftom.her closet and she rushed to wash herself. Seeing her rushing Maggie said to stop and said

"are you really going to dress yourself like that? Give me your time. here, am the professional in styling." Maggie styled her. She looked so beautiful that night. The red flower braided lace dress with golden earrings and long brown straight hairs.

She took the taxi from there and both dr. park and Alora reached at the ceremony

The hall was really huge and luxurious.

"It really kind of look like a castle." Alora didn't seemed understand what going on there. so she asked dr.

'Dr. what the occasion? You didn't give me any details.'

'Don't worry it's just a small celebration for different doc. And their patients. Actually this hall is booked by many celebs to thank their doctors. Today you will get to meet many famous doctors and celeb. They all are my friends and patients.'

'What? which celeb did you treated?' she asked.

'Why should I'm supposed to tell you that? It's my priority to keep my patients information secret.'

'Ah. I forget. I'm just curious that is why.'

'Don't worry you will get to know very soon.' He replied.
