I

A young guy was driving a car on an empty highway, with his fastest speed. His eyes were full of tears as the left tire of his car was already punctured and he didn’t know about it. But a young girl was following him with her car. He shed tears and grieved something of his past.

Hey Mr…..? Your front left tire is punctured, stop the car? She said and kept chasing him. He couldn’t hear her, since his windows were closed and then he picked up his cigarette packet; but it finished and he kept driving; then he started to look for another one and he bent a little bit down and tried to find it near his legs; but his hand couldn’t get it and the car was slowing down and it made a fire because of the rubbing; but as his head up; he almost collided a lorry and he went out of the road and then the car flipped and laid upside down at the road side and it smoked.

She stopped, came out the car and ran to him. He was in the car and his head was bleeding but still he was conscious. She opened the window and dragged him out, to a little bit far from the car. He looked up her as he closed and opened his eyes.

My bags, my bags He said and pointed his finger to the car.

Shut up, idiot? She dragged him to her car. Before she put him into it, he got unconscious. Then she came back to his car and she found two bags in the back seat of the car. She picked up one of them but it already opened and she saw in it; coins which made of diamond. She looked unbelievable and she touched it, her hand and she got the other and found the same. She closed the bags, made sure her sides; whether anyone saw her or not and then walked toward her car; as she was smiling.

The guy opened his eyes and he was in a hospital. He sat up and his eyes ran into the room, to find out, where he was and then he flashed back but a nurse girl came in, as she smiled.

Good morning, sir? How are you feeling? Better, right?" She asked but he kept silent and touched his head.

Who brought me, here? He asked as he looked a little angry and disappointed.

A young girl brought you here and she left, Mr. Andrew She answered and was preparing his medicine but he didn’t like to hear it and feeling bad, he closed his eyes.

She took my bags, Oh my God! I lost everything I had He lamented but the girl looked at and waited him.

No Mr. ANDREW, she didn’t, she gave it to your secretary and he has it approaching to inject him, she said and he started thinking about; what he heard from the girl.

How did you know my name? He said as the injection was putting in his body and he showed that he felt a little pain then she touched his hand.

When you reached here, you were out for the count, we found your secretary’s number into your phone and then we called him; so he is here with you She added and took out the injection from him, showed her smile and walked out the room.

Andrew sat in Kevin’s office, they kept silent then Kevin got up.

This is the richest man of our country, Andrew, many people in this world have a dream of; to live his life one day but he wants to commit suicide; that is what everyone in this city talks about, I am disgusting to be your secretary He admonished to Andrew as he was in tears.

I don’t need this money, I don’t He said and got up. My parents fought over this money, my dad left in this home my mom, alone and he died, as he needed to have this money and my mom; the shock of his death, she died too; I don’t want this money, I don’t want to have it He sobbed but Kevin hugged to console him.

But I want to do one thing, I want to find that girl; who saw this wealth and brought it back to our home safely, she isn’t like the human; who live on this world; I will look for her, till I find her he insisted with his full attention.

Andrew was looking for the girl. He visited the biggest shopping malls of his city and he walked with kids, with their moms, he again went to the cinemas, if she came to there with her family or friends; then he checked the zoo centres, then he was in other cities and looked her for the tourist places and he was travelling with trains and buses but he didn’t find her and it was after six months.

I don’t know who you are? I don’t know what you do but I know that I have been looking for you, the last six months; because you are different from all the people, I know in this life. He said as he was standing alone the garden in his house.

Andrew came to a party with Kevin; they hand shook to the people and they were smiling.

Welcome? Welcome, Mr. Andrew? A smiling woman, whose name was GRACE, joined them and he hugged her.

Thank you, GRACE, I can see you and the kids, you really are very happy tonight He said to her as he was holding her hands.

Yes, we are celebrating the new beginning and it came to this week, please be my guest with smiling she answered but his eyes were not on her. She checked what he was looking at and she saw the kids.

Yes, the kids, I like them, excuse me? she walked away from them but he was emotional and he was walking toward the kids. He stood behind them and he was waiting the turn of a girl, who was laughing with the kids and she turned and he could see her face but she was the girl, he was looking for and he started to smile. Kevin came to him and they were looking at the girl.

Isn’t that, the girl? What she is doing here? He asked and they were keeping silent in few seconds.

They were sitting in the car and watched behind the mirror to the parents with their kids, who were coming out the school.

I can’t believe, she is the teacher of this school and you were looking her for six months Kevin said.

I found her now he answered but they saw her and she was in her car as she was going to, drive out.

Oh no, there she is Kevin was pointing his finger to her. But Andrew put the key to the car and started, then he came out between two other cars and in seconds he got in the road, and moved fast but he hit a kid as he stopped and they ran to him as the people, gathered on them.

Oh my God! Hey? Hey kid? He was holding on his lap but the girl came and sat opposite him and then she took out his hand the kid and he was looking at her.

ETHAN? ETHAN? Please, open your eyes? They poured him water and he opened his eyes.

I am sorry son? Andrew said and he touched Ethan’s face to make him, feel good.

Will you please, shut up? You could kill him? You are careless person; I can’t believe why did they let you to drive? She got up and took the kid with her car as she was angry. He was standing with Kevin and they were seeing her as she drove out of there.

She didn’t like our first meeting he said and he walked away as Kevin followed him.

Andrew was looking at behind his black mirror of his car, to AUBREY. She was giving papers to the people and her friend, KELLY was doing same. They gave to everyone was there but most of the people were not interested it. Kevin got in the car as he was taking care, not to recognise them, the people walking out there.

What are those papers, Kevin? Andrew asked as Kevin had his hand the paper.

Nothing, they want to celebrate the birth of this district He answered and he was taking off his jacket.

What? Are you kidding me? I haven’t seen anyone celebrating the birth of his district, before these people he said and smiled but the girls kept distributing the message.

Your girl wants to do it but the people don’t interest to pay for it; you see she looks disappointed Kevin said and he was coming to sit, the front seat. Andrew was thinking as he was keeping silent and he turned over his mobile as he was pondering something, in his mind.

What are you thinking of, Andrew, my boss? Kevin asked and he looked eager to hear something more of it, by him.

I want that you pay everything, they need to hold this party, call the most respected people of our city and we celebrate with them Andrew ordered and he was eyeing at Aubrey with Kelly walking alone.

Yes sir, I knew that you will say it Kevin answered and he hugged Andrew.

Many people massed a well ornamented hotel in the district. The people were coming in, as they were different groups. Kelly and Aubrey were walking together and they looked stunning, because they shared same thing, from the ring to the shoes.

I don’t know who this man is? He doesn’t live here and he holds this ceremony to the people of this district Kelly asked Aubrey and they came in.

What is his name? Aubrey questioned to Kelly but Kelly saw Kevin as he was talking three other guys.

There he is; his name is Kevin She said but Aubrey excited to see him and she walked toward his side. Aubrey, where are going to? Kelly said with low sound and caught to Aubrey’s hand.

I just want to thank him, come with me or wait me here, I will come back? She suggested and kept stepping to near Kevin’s side. She stood closer to him as she showed a smile on her face, to make feel everyone how she was happier than anyone else at there, to see the ceremony.

Hi, Mr. Kevin? She greeted and he turned but he saw Kelly stood beside her friend.

Hey girls? How are you doing? How is the party, great, right? He asked, to make them comfortable, Kelly smiled but Aubrey kept her head down and up, showing that she agreed about the party.

Yeah of course They said at once and he smiled but he looked Andrew stood out there with other two men and their wives.

We would like to thank you, Mr. Kevin, all these people, they meet and get happier because of you, thank you so much Aubrey said as Kevin and Kelly get smiled.

No, no, please don’t do that, because it is for someone else; who did all of this and he is your friend and everyone in this party knows, that your friend holds this party for you and your district Kevin added and he was waiting her reaction.

What? You know all of this Aubrey? Kelly asked but Aubrey was keeping silent.

Wait Kelly, who is that friend of mine? Where is he? She asked and she was stepping to near to him.

There he is; his name is Andrew and he told me that he is your friend, you go and ask him? He surprised to them and then he walked away from them, alone.

I can see it, he fallen your love honey and he is proving it Kelly guessed and Aubrey looked at Andrew.

You wait me here, I know this guy; I will talk to him? She approached Andrew to ask about it.

Excuse me Mr. ANDREW? Andrew heard and he got happier to the sound reaching his ears, as his girl calling him by his name and he turned toward her.

Yes, I know what you are thinking of, may be you think that I am not your friend but my heart tells me, that you are a good friend of mine; and that is the reason my mind decided to do this, please don’t get angry He mentioned as he was smiling. But at once they heard boom and then they ran out and saw a burning building as five kids were standing out there.

What happened? Are you okay? Aubrey asked the kids as she kneeled, touched two of them, their hands and faces to check if anything happened to them and they had crackers.

We have been playing to this and it burnt the home, sister; I am sorry? The kid said and he was in tears, but she hugged them. Kelly came out and she looked at home as it was burning top to bottom.

Oh my God! My house! That is our house She said and ran to it, but they get shocked.

No Kelly, please don’t go to it Aubrey shouted but Kelly got in the house as Andrew got after her. Police men came to and they were stopping the people, as fire fighters were trying to halt the fire. Andrew was looking for Kelly in the fire.

Kelly, Kelly? He was calling her as the burning things falling down and some of it, got to him as he got down and rolling over the ground but he saw Kylee, as she was unconscious and he took her to bring outside. Then they ran her, to hospital.

They brought her to the hospital and sent her, inside. They worried about what her situation could be as they were standing outside but Andrew was walking with a doctor.

Doctor, don’t think about a money, please give her, your best care and the service of your hospital; I will pay anything you needed Andrew said as he concerned Kelly but the doctor ran to inside as Aubrey was looking at him and she was angry.

"That is all you know, all the rich people, what they just know is nothing, but to say; I will pay, ask me what you need, it is on my shoulder, I., I, I, and you think that you can
