Amidst her slumber, she heard the melodious voice and when she realised what is it, she woke up immediately, sitting in her bed. She concentrated on her breaths and again she heard those melodies. She could clearly hear the sweet melodies of flute in her awake state. It was so alluring that she went to her balcony, standing by the railings and closed her eyes, feeling the cool waves of breeze making her serene inside out. Involuntarily, her lips raised upwards, reflecting a beautiful smile. It was not a new thing to her, though she used to crave to listen these soothing melodies of flute. She always felt the belongingness coming from those melodious blows like the flute was played utterly for her only. The chaos she felt was somehow tranquilized and she felt happy, but.....
Listening to the music, her mind got striked by that Young Man who created a rumpus into her mind, brain, heart and even she could feel that it seeped through her soul too. She was wondering, why 'That Man' was continuously bugging her. She tried her best to shoo away those thoughts, but thoughts were more stubborn than her that day. She adored that tune from her core as it was the invisible embrace she used to get, whenever she was in distress and melancholy in the past. When there was no one to understand her, to calm her, to embrace her; this melody was there like an invisible blanket of warmth which always embraced her. She wanted to meet that person, personally; to witness that legendary being who, without even the physical presence caressed and treated her wounds of heart by giving strength anonymously. And the irony was that, except her no one could hear those strings of flute. It was astonishingly an illogical concept of her life. But.....isn't it said,
'MAGIC BEGINS, WHERE LOGIC ENDS'.
Now she was determined utterly to find the person who had such powers which could make her influenced even without any physical contact; oblivious of the fact, that she too had certain powers which attracted the magnet or should say vice versa.
But something was different as the melodies of flute were creating a blissful elated aura which was exceptionally divine. In past it was always filled with warmth, support and love accompanied by parting sadness. And today it was like the music from flute was dancing in bliss itself.
"Why I always feel my life is like a maze. The more I try to find the answers, the more questions arise. Can anyone solve this complicated riddle of my life, I really wonder?" Sia said under her breath with thoughtful expressions on her face.
Unaware of the fact, 'That one person' is the answer to her every question.

When Sia was five, she heard that mysterious flute the first time and afterwards whenever, she used to be in distress or striked by some tragic situations, 'this invisible blanket' was always there to embrace her. Whenever her life was traumatized by nightmares, this mysterious melody hugged her. She told about it to everyone, but none other than her, heard the music but thinking she was just a child then, they ignored it. And afterwards she started keeping things to herself only and just used to discuss things to her brother as he could see through her and couldn't hide anything from him. But indeed it was a beautiful mystery to her and beside soothing her heart, she felt a mysterious and strange restlessness which used to make her heart beats faster without knowing the reason. She was prodigy in Music and was all aware how to play various musical instruments, even in most of them, she was quite deft except the FLUTE. It was not like she was incapable of playing flute or was unable to learn, but she never tried because for some reason she just want to listen to the music of the Flute which she used to hear occasionally and it was the first and the last thing to which she didn't want to compete at all and just wanted to be a follower and adorer of those 'Strings'. It was utterly opposite to her persona, to be a complete devout of something without even trying the thing.

On the other side...
After almost one hour, Aariv reached his destination. Seeing his car, the guards opened the gate for him. As he entered, the guards and other housekeepers, who were present there, welcomed him and they bowed as they saw him entering in his car through a huge behemoth gate.
And he nodded with a smile towards them. He was never hostile towards the housekeepers of his house but his aura was damn majestic which could compel anyone to bow down their head towards him. And all the servants, guards, butlers used to respect him by the core and always used to feel blessed to be the part of their owner's life.
He disembarked from his car carrying his black coat tucked sideways by arm and giving the keys to guard he proceeded towards a humongous exquisite, royal palace like mansion. The greenery was surrounding the mansion by every direction. A beautiful pond, gazebo were elevating the beauty of the place . Flowery trees and various flowery plants were sprawling all over the garden, providing the air a very fresh and fragrant aura which could calm the nerves of anyone.
Everything around looked damn royal, and the mansion seemed like recently constructed which got the modern touch Traditionally. Near the mansion at the back, there was a runway for personal jets. The mansion covered a lot of area and was utterly embraced with peacefulness. He passed the coat to a housekeeper who was waiting for his master to receive any order. Then he proceeded and entered the living room where a man in early 50's well groomed, with a powerful aura and an elegant woman in late forty's were sitting on an exquisite sofa conversing with each other. Their age seemed less by the aura they carried. Both of them were not less than King and Queen whereas Aariv seemed like a majestic prince with invincible aura. Seeing both of them, Aariv smiled and went to them. Both his parents were happy to see him. They hugged him affectionately. Without wasting any time the older man asked with enthusiasm;
George Bennet: "What's the matter boy? I felt your excitement while talking to you on phone. That enthusiasm was something extraordinary which we have craved to see. I was desperately waiting for you. Now tell me, what's that jubilation!!" he said a elated face.
Before, Aariv could say anything, his mother butted and said;
Olivia Bennet: "You are literally impossible George. Will you calm down? It has been just fifteen minutes and you are sounding like you have been waiting for my child since long. And let him take the breath." she said with a chiding tone towards her husband and which in return her husband frowned like a sulking kid.
Seeing this beautiful bantering scene, Aariv smiled and said;
Aariv: "I really missed you and your bickerings Mom - Dad. By the way, how was your journey and how are you feeling to be here?" he said with an enchanting smile.
His father again, answered him with a question;
"Leave it. You tell me about the thing for which you are glowing like the Sun. What's the matter, you asked us to come here faster?" He said with a desperate curiousity.
His mother was shaking her head with a smile but, there was a curiosity in her eyes too which was evident by the enormous sparkles by seeing her Son's jovial face.
Aariv: "What can it be? Don't you know? Stress your brain a little, I'm damn sure you will come to know by your own." he said with a forever inimitable smile.
After giving a look of confusion, both his mother and father gasped in surprise. Sparkles of happiness were evident in their eyes. After a while; George said;
"Did you find them?" he said with a curiosity jovially, while Olivia was standing still looking towards her son to hear the further explanation.
Aariv, spacing out and memorising the scene of 'their' encounter, with an ear to ear grin, said;
"I found her, dad!!"
