Her beauty was haunting him even though he went to the office. It was magical. He was thinking about her and didn’t notice that a person was calling him.Fed up, the person held and shouted, “Sir? What are you thinking about?”He came into senses by his friends' call and was startled. He was looking at the person standing in front of him in confusion.“Sir, What’s the matter? I’m asking you!”“Dude, I fell in love!”“Love? What? You are in love?”“Why? Shouldn’t I be in love? What’s wrong with me?”The person smiled gently, "Everything is right!” and looked at him sarcastically.“Dude, listen to what I say.”“I saw a girl today, she was amazing. What a beauty! She stole my heart with her magic.”“Really? Who is she?”“I don’t know”“You don’t know?”“Yes dude, I went out in your car moments ago as there was problem in mine and a minor accident occurred there. A woman almost fell under the car but was out with minor injuries. Meanwhile, people surrounded the place and started troubling. I was scared as hell but she came to my rescue and told her that it was her mistake and save me. Such a sweet woman! We are looking at people who are ready to do the lowest of things just for the sake of money but she didn’t expect anything from me and told that it was her mistake. I liked her a lot and I wanted to follow her to know where she lived. But I was worried that she might call everyone and create trouble.”“What? You had an accident with my car? You take the car without my permission and moreover you are feeling bad that you didn’t follow her. Dude, you are creating trouble for me! Anyways, the people from JP company are there. Go meet them. This meeting is crucial for us,” said his friend and he came into business mode.By the time Sandhya reached home, Meenakshi was waiting for her in the lawn. As soon as she eyed at Sandhya, “Sandhya, come dear, are you alright?” she asked anxiously.Sandhya wasn’t able to process why she was so anxious. Meenakshi realized she was anxious, "Umm, you looked tired, Sandhya. That’s the reason I asked you.”“You were right, Auntie. I met with a minor accident.”“Accident? Are you hurt?”“Um, I had a minor injury but it’s fine, Auntie”“What are you saying, Sandhya? Your hand is bleeding and you’re fine? Wait, let me call the doctor.”“It's fine Auntie, I will take a tablet, you don’t worry.”“Listen to…”“It’s fine, Auntie. I had major injuries than this, I will be fine,” said Sandhya.Meenakshi was startled, “Okay Sandhya, as you wish. Come to the prayer room,” she said and put the sacred ash on her forehead, "Go get some rest.”Even though Meenakshi was sad, she was happy that everything happened according to what Swamiji said.Sandhya took the medicines and fell asleep. Meenakshi was scared as Surya wasn’t picking her calls for a longtime, she was worried about her son! Surya reached home at almost 1 o'clock. He was worried about his mom being awake and asked anxiously, "Mom, you didn’t sleep yet?” She looked at Surya, “Son, Are you alright? Why are you so late today? Why was your phone off, I was so worried about you!”“Mom, what’s wrong? You were never this worried. I was late because of  important work in the office. My phone got switched off and I didn’t notice it. Why are awake this late? Your health isn’t fine.”“Son, you are my heart and soul, I couldn’t withstand if something happens to you!”“Mom, what would happen to me? I will never turn off my phone, ever again, okay? Have you had your dinner? Come,” he said and served food for her.“You have to eat, Son.”“No mom, I had my dinner in the office.” he said and started feeding his mom. He understood the reason behind his mother’s fear. He put her to sleep in her room and came to his. Surya was frustrated, sat on his bed and was thinking, “Why was she so anxious?”Sandhya had pain killer tablets and was in deep sleep because of the drowsiness. Her mobile was on the table and it was ringing endlessly and she didn’t wake up. Surya was furious, “Mom wasn’t able to sleep and you are sleeping peacefully? And who the hell is calling at this late hour?” he thought and hit the phone to the ground and smashed it into pieces. She didn’t even wake to that sound. Surya was irritated and lay on the bed to sleep. He doesn't know that this will torture a little girl now.
