She thought her Dida might be the one calling for not to get late. She excused herself and pick the call.. Before she speaks she heard Aunt zu's panic voice... Aunt zu the one working in her house as a head butler.

Shiha was shocked.. For while she didn't know what did she just listen.. Her Dida's condition is not good...

Her mind was in chaos.. No.. No.. She can't leave me alone in this world.

No.. No i can't lost her... She can't abandoned me.. Her mind run with a negative thoughts..

Coming back to reality.. With a crack in voice she said.. "what happened."

"I saw her unconscious on the floor in her room"

"take her to hospital.. I will call back soon"

When shanaya saw her friend's tensed and nervous face she immediately approach her and make shiha turn her back to public so no one see her pale face..

"What happened.. Is every thing alright."

Right now shiha was trembling from head to toe..

Shanaya took her in corner and with few calming sentence she tried to ease shiha's nervousness..

"Calm down..."

"No..Shanaya.. Dida.. Nothing will happen to her right.. Nothing.. Nothing. "

Shanaya hug her and said

"take a deep breath.. Nothing will happen to her.. She is a strong woman.. Right now you can't break like this.. Look around.. Where you are.. You can't show your weakness in front of them.. Control your emotions.."

Only few people can ease shiha.. It includes her four friends too.. They have seen her strong as well as broken.. They no how much important role her grandmother plays in her life.

Shiha took a deep breath..

Shanaya advice her to go and inform Elder Ling that she have to leave.

"I am sorry elder Ling.. I have to leave."

"is everything OK."

"My grandmother's condition is not looking good. So i have go"

Shiha nodded and left.. As she turn and walk towards the door. Her cell phone rang. She picked up.

" Missy we are on the way to hospital "

Shiha fasten her steps.." which hospital "

"The life care hospital.."

When she almost reach the door.. She started running..

After biding goodbye to few people shanaya also went after her.. Right now she have to take care of her sista.

Shiha was still on the phone.. With one hand on the phone near her ear and from other hand she picked up the hem of her gown and started running she reach the corridor..

From the other side of the corridor a man in a jet black suit well combed hair perfect face and possess the aura of The King was walking towards the entrance with his brother.

Unfortunately shiha had no time to glance at such a dashing man.. Not a single glance..

She continue running and the man ahead was busy with his brother looking at the screen of the tablet..

Suddenly shiha collide with him.. Her hand brush past his cufflink..

Within a few seconds she was disappeared as if it was his illusion.. Before he move his eyes from tablet and looked ahead she has already turn her back to him. He turned side way and looked behind him.. He saw a girl running.. Like running was to saving her life.

He was only able to see the slight glint of her back and the hair were flaring in the air..just like the fairy. He remembered cinderella story. Cinderella running to save herself but so sad the girl in front of him did not left the sandal behind.

The voice came beside him

"oohh.. Bro i think she was in emergency."

"Hmm.." the man only hammed and started walking ahead.

He reached his right hand to the place were she collide to brush as if there was any dirt.. But suddenly his hand touch something like a chain..

He look at what it is.. And saw a very beautiful jade white bracelet.

He remembered... When she collided her hand brush past him and than this bracelet got attach to his cufflink..

He took it in the hand and before he look carefully he had reached to the door and took a step inside and move the hand in his pocket and put the bracelet inside.

## STORY ##.

Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.

Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young boy paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can't return to the sea by themselves," the youth replied. "When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water."

The old man replied, "But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I'm afraid you won't really be able to make much of a difference."

The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"

We all have the opportunity to help create positive change

Moral :"A single, ordinary person still can make a difference – and single, ordinary people are doing precisely that every day."
