"Hey kids!"
"Sister Serene!!"
Serene went forward and hugged the kids who came running towards her.
"Sister where were you all this time! You didn't come to meet us for the whole month. Don't you miss us?" One of the kids from the group asked her eagerly.
For them Serene was their everything. Though sisters, teachers, doctors in the orphanage were all their friends, Serene always made them feel like they were all her family.
Serene pouted cutely "Of course I do but I couldn't help. I was really busy."
Two girls ran towards Serene and excitedly asked "Where are Brothers?"
Serene smiled playfully. Her brothers are all very famous between girls. "Harry and Henry were busy today. They will come next week for sure, with more chocolates for you girls. For today play with me all day"
All kids jumped joyfully "Yeah" Some kids jumped on her too.
But when Serene tried to hold them she suddenly felt the sharp pain on her back like someone stabbed her "Ahhhh" Shit you forgot Serene!
All the kids got worried sick. "Sister what happened!"
Serene smiled forcefully "Sorry, sister can't hold you today. My back hurts"
"It's okay sister. You rest." All kids understandingly said. They never want their sister to get hurt.
Serene asked while sitting down on the ground with other kids. "So how are things going?" She always tries to be as casual as she can in the beginning for them to open up.
"We are doing great, sister. But we want to go out too." They asked cautiously, minding that the arrow must hit to the point. They indirectly tell her to take them for the picnic.
Serene laughed smugly and said "Of course once must go out time to time to refresh their mind but wasn't your picnic just past by?" She does organise two to three picnics atleast in a year.
"No, it's been two months!" One kid replied immediately.
"Sister please" Other kids also pester her cutely.
"Okay okay. I'll tell the headmaster and they will take you out for a picnic. But this will be the last of this year. Next picnic will be next year directly." She strictly said. She can't let them be spoiled rotten like other rich kids. These kids were provided with every single facility rich kids have but limited to use. They earn money by doing their own chores only after 14. She provides everything to these kids as their parents would have. That's why as a good parent she also makes sure their desire won't let them astray.
"Okay sister!"

"Headmaster Mr. Shetty is here." Head master was looking out of the window towards Serene and kids when one of his subordinate came and informed him.
"Soham?" Head master asked with a questioning look.
"Yes sir."
He frowned and murmured "But Bhumit told me that they will be busy visiting orphanages this week. That's why I told Serene to come today." He said to himself and started walking towards his office. "Anyway it's okay i'll handle it let's go."
***
Soham was sitting in the Orphanage headmaster office when he got a call.
"Hey why did you miss the plane?" Harry from the phone speaker asked him.
Soham wouldn't reply to anyone but him? He will unknowingly. "Stuck in traffic" He casually replied.
A scoff was resounded from the speaker "Don't lie I saw you not getting out of your apartment whole this morning." Harry said again with a mocking sound. No one will dare to mock Soham but he can. He had hacked all his friends' nearby cameras for protection without letting them know.
Soham's voice gets low "Stop trespassing the others' privacy." He knew very well that this man has very good IT skills, but that doesn't make him allow this. He won't allow it.
Harry didn't back off either "Then tell me directly what is going on. Something happened?" He asked worriedly this time. They do some dangerous stuff too, he never let his guards down.
Soham stood up from his seat and went towards the window of the office slowly "Nothing just didn't want to waste my time on useless thought." He said truthfully.
Harry on receiver knew that he wasn't lying but the reason why they were going out of the country was because of the business deal of their company. And as a CEO of the company, Soham must have attended.
"If this is useless and what is useful for you?" He asked.
Soham didn't reply for a while thinking about the right answer, but the only answer he got was "Spending time on my assignment research." 'Maybe?'
