* Three weeks after *
" Ah !! No ,no , wait !! "
Uhh, damn it . This is the second time this week I missed the bus . Well my home isn't that far though , it's like 30 mins walking distance from college to home . But who likes to walk in rain , some people would but definitely not me .
I'm not fond of monsoon, well I ain't fond of any season actually , summers are too hot , winters are too cold and monsoon... there's just water everywhere... I can't remember a single year in which I hadn't slipped and fell into the puddles .
Just like Kai said , " I'm just too clumsy . "
.....*sigh* Kai... That bastard said he would call me regularly....the only time he called was after he reached Arithes. I did call him last week but someone else spoke saying ," Lord Kai is busy right now " .
Well what you think , I'm very free ? . Well I am in a matter of fact.... I have no one to chat with except my best friend and some close friends. Only they and some of Kai's friends know about his true identity now.
Also what should I do with the money Emperor gave me ? I'm not fond of tourism . I only like beaches and amusement parks which I have visited many times . Well that's why I wanted to visit Arithes too , that country has many beaches some of them are only for royalties .... I wonder if Kai saw them .... He is also fond of beaches.
Well look at this ... I'm already in the area near my house . Well walking home from college doesn't seem so bad either , the rain hasn't stopped though...
I was on my way , when I noticed a girl crying in the corner of street wearing a raincoat, sitting in front of a closed shop and sobbing . Umm...what should I do ? should I ask her , well let's ignore it...she probably ran from her house throwing a tantrum to get her toys ..... But what if she's in danger ? * Sigh*
" Hey , are u alright?"
Damn this girl ... I could swear she looks like someone I've seen before.
* Sobbing*sobbing*
" Stop crying , are u hurt ? Are u lost ? I can take u home if you tell me where you live ?"
After wipping her eyes she replied ," Big sister can't take me home , I don't have one "
And she started crying again ...
What should I do ? I'm not good at these situations? And what does she mean she doesn't have home? Well her clothes are preety decent .
Well I'm not giving much thought to this , let the police handle it .
" Listen little lady , I'll take you to police station, police uncle will help you "
"No , not police !!!! Wahh!!!"
Wait wha--- . Why did she started to cry louder after hearing the word police. She is not a criminal, is she? Well obviously not , what can a 11-12 yr looking girl do ?
I looked around for other people , if any elder could help ... but there was no one on the street ... Guess people in my area don't like to walk in rain either .
" Ok , ok calm down . Do you want to come at my place ? "
* Nodded slightly*
Guess her parents didn't teach her not to go with strangers, she's lucky that I'm a kind hearted person.
Well I couldn't just leave her alone and I'm alone any ways and I don't want to stand in rain holding this umbrella any longer , my hands hurted and my body was already exhausted from whole day at college.
We arrived at my house . I changed into warm clothes , make some hot chocolate for both of us . She hesitated and didn't drink at first but started gulping it when I said it was ok for her to drink and feel comfortable.
Well , I wasn't comfortable though , having anti - social personality and an introvert nature , the situation was much more awkward for me than her .
" Can u give me your parents number"
"I don't have parents" she answered while lowering her head .
"....."
Well , I did feel bad . But I wasn't any different. I could just hope she had accepted the reality.
" Then is there someone to whom you want me to call , do you have elder siblings? Or relatives ?"
" I have a big brother, but he scolded me so we are not talking"
Oh, so that's why someone was sitting in rain and crying.
" Jeez , but you have to go to your brother, he must be worried searching for you "
" I don't think so "
" Listen who is the closest person to you after your parents ? Didn't he took care of you ? You should understand him too , it's really hard to handle things after your parents are gone you know.... Assume yourself lucky that you are the younger one , you atleast have an elder brother to rely on , who is your elder brother supposed to rely on ? He is on his own managing things for you but you runaway like this , how would you feel if your brother left you alone ? You both are the only ones left for eachother right , you should be with him , understand him and avoid conflicts as much as possible "
"..."
I think I spoke to much , just remembered the situation when me and Kai used to fight after our parents death ..... Well my parents death ....
But I guess my words weren't just in vain , the girl made a sad face full of regret , tears in her eyes.
" Ok don't start crying again mistakes happen, umm I haven't even asked you for your name ?"
" My name's lucy "
" Alright lucy, I'm Sara . Can u give me your brother's number "
I called her brother.
Nearly after 15 mins I heard the aggressive knocking on my door .
* Knock knock knock*
I was so scared and didn't approach to open the door
" Lucy !! Lucy are u in there ?!!!"
Oh it must be her brother . Any one could guess how worried he was , his voice was trembling as he knocked on the door while calling his sister.
I immediately opened the door .
" Thank you taking care of my sis------- Sara.....?"
" Luca...?"
What the heck!? Lucy is sister of my ex -crush , what is this unexpected meet with my ex crush .
