Zain,wait for me here and I will be back in a few minutes."
Maria said while going inside the book shop.
"Wait for me, I'll come too."
He said while following her.
Maria was searching for a book and Zain was quietly following her.
While she was reading a book, Zain said.
"We should be quick,otherwise we will be late to watch the movie".
"Okay, let's go".
Maria said while taking a book with her.They paid for the book and went outside.
They reached the movie theater.There were so many people at the ticket counter.
"Wait for me here and I will bring the tickets for both of us".
Maria nodded while he went to buy the tickets.
"The weather is so cloudy,I hope it doesn't rain.I didn't even bring my umbrella".
Maria said while looking at the sky.
After some time, he came back with the tickets.
"Lets go. The movie is about to start."
Zain held her hand and went inside to watch the movie.Both of them really enjoyed the movie the whole time.
After watching the movie, they went outside.
"Thank you Zain for accompanying me today. I enjoyed it a lot."
Maria said while smiling at Zain.
"Your welcome,anyways I wanted to ask y-".
He got cut off because his mobile started ringing.He took the phone call.
"Um,okay. I am coming".Saying this, he ended the call.
"Is everything OK,zain? You look worried".
Maria asked him in concern.
"Actually, my mom got really sick .So I have to go.I am really sorry.I couldn't accompany you home."
Zain said, while sadness could be seen on his face.
"No need to say that,do you want me to go with you".
"Thanks,but you should go home, otherwise your mom will be worried if you got late."
He said,reassuring her.
"Okay,I guess you should go now. "
"Okay bye"
Both of them said goodbye to each other and went on their way.
Maria was on her way home when it suddenly started raining.
"Ah! Seriously.I don't even have an umbrella. I guess I have to run now."
With that, she started running while covering herself.Suddenly,she bumped into someone really hard,and both of them fell on the ground.She saw the person whom she bumped,but he was already staring at her deeply.It felt so creepy to her.It was making her uncomfortable.She couldn't see his face clearly as he was wearing a mask.
But his dark eyes were staring deep into her soul.
She hurriedly apologized and quickly went away.Soon,she reached her house.She opened the door and went inside.She was out of breath.She quickly went to her room upstairs and changed her clothes,then she came downstairs and made her way to the living room.She turned on the TV and sat down on the sofa.
"Here.."
Her mom handed her a cup of tea and sat beside her.Maria took it .
"Thank God,you came early.I was worried because you didn't even have an umbrella with you.Anyways, how was your day?
Her mother said while looking at her.
"t was good but suddenly Zain had to go due to some emergency and then the rain.I was running to my way home and suddenly I bumped into someone."
She said while taking a sip.
"So it was your date, huh?"
Sam sat while coming towards the living room.
"Sam! Not again.I already told you so many times.
She said, irritated.
"I know, you are just shy".
Sam said, teasing her.
"Sam! Stop.."
Maria said while stomping her feet on the floor.
"Sam,stop irritating your sister".
Their mom said while scolding Sam.
"Mom,I am going to my room.I have some assignments to do. Please don't disturb me".
She said while going upstairs.
"Okay,I will call you for dinner".
Her mother said from behind.
She went to her room and started doing her work. So she completed her assignments.
She took her mobile and texted Zain.
"Hi Zain,how is your Mom? Is she alright?".
She got a reply after some seconds.
"Yeah,She is now fine.Doctor said she need complete bed rest for few days,then
She will be fine."
"Thats good to hear.I hope she gets well soon."
"Did you reached your home safely because it really started raining heavily when we left."
"Yeah".
"Thats a relief."
"Okay zain,I am going,mom is calling me for dinner.Bye and take some rest, you must be very tired."
"Okay,I will.Good night:"
Zain smiled after reading the text then he switched off his phone.
Maria came downstairs and had her dinner.
After having her dinner,she helped her mother in doing the dishes.After that,they all went to living room.
Mark was doing some work on his laptop and Sam was using his phone.Her mom was reading a magazine.
Maria was watching tv,she was continuously changing the channels until a news channel got her attention.
So we got a very tragic news right now,
China's one of the biggest CEO MrCheng Lu has been murdered
He and his wife dead body had been found in his mansion.
Rumors are he killed his wife and then killed himself.
But the question is why someone who is so wealthy and had no particular reason to kill himself and his wife.
But there were some witnesses who said that. somebody killed them .
We know you all must be thinking who that person could be,
That's ,the mafia king John Watson ."
Hearing his name this news,three of them suddenly looked up to see what was going on.
"So he is back again,killing innocent people."
Her mom said while looking at the tv.
"He never stopped killing mom,its just whenever his kills some person who is known to everyone,
So the public gets to know about that person.If he kills a normal person just like us, it will not get known to public".
Mark said while looking at his mom.Saying this,they again diverted their attention towards the tv.
"Mr Cheng,had many properties under his name in America.
It could be possible that John Watson killed him,so that he can take over them.
Sad thing is police can't do anything,nobody can stop himself from murdering someone.
He had so much power that no-one stand against him."
The news reporter was discussing about the muder.
"He is such a merciless person."
Maria said while turning off the tv.
" I am really sleepy right now.I am going to my room.Good night".
She said while stretching her arms.
"Good night".
Her mom replied.
Then she went upstairs.
"Mark you should really take care of yourself when you go out for work and you too Sam.Its not safe these days.
After hearing this news,I am now really worried about you all."
Their mom said with a worried look.
"Dont worry mom, I can take care of myself".
Sam said while getting up .
"Yeah mom,you shouldn't worry about us.We are adults now.We will be extra careful from now on".
Mark said while holding her hand.
"Its just,you three are the inly family I have. I cant bear to lose any of you all,
Even if you are all adult,ypu are still my children."
She said while smiling at Mark.Mark hugged his mom and went to sleep.
