I was performing my duty well as a cardiologist.I only abide my own rules..uh! except my mom's order. I love her a lot and why not even...she is the only one I have in this world!

Daily morning routine*

(Mom) Winter! Winter! When will you wake up! Its already 7. You'll gonna be late! Wake up now!

(Winter) Ugh! Mom it's just 7 now...lemme sleep for another 15 minutes.

After reaching hospital*

(Rian) Mam you were just about to get late...They can reach here at any moment..Are you ready?

(Rian- My Personal assistant...once proposed me but I refused! He is really a very good person and handsome as well. My mom likes him too and want me to get married to him but I just want to be with my mom..*don't want to share her with anyone*)

(Winter) Yes! That's obvious! But don't you think that they are a little late now.

*Door opens and few people enter*

(Raghu)My apologies! We got stuck in the traffic jam!

(Winter) It's all fine sir! We too arrived here couple of minutes before.

(Rian) Please sir have a seat and talk about the matter you wanna discuss with us.

(Raghu)Sure! Let's start.

I was feeling a bit uneasy by Raghu's weird smile. It was something happening to me for the first time. Sigh* Might be I was thinking too much.

(Winter) So sir, what's the matter that need to be discuss with us?

(Raghu) It's actually a...a...actually it's...

(Rian) Sir please feel free to talk to us.

(Raghu) Dr. Winter your A.R. medical care is the best hospital in New York! Many patients visit here for treatment...specially heart patients.

(Rian) Yes that's true! Madam's hospital is very popular and it's international too!!

(Winter) let's come to the point! Mr. Raghu what you want us to do for you.

I was really not feeling well the way he was smirking and looking at me.

(Raghu) Fine! Then...let's do a trade!

(Rian)Trade??!! What type of trade??

(Raghu)*Standing* Your this beautiful hospital and your patients...everything is like a heaven to you..right Dr. Winter??

(Winter)*angry* What you mean by saying that?

(Rian) It's obvious for Dr. Winter to love her patients and hospitals. She did everyhting to reach the hospital this top!This is more than heaven to her!

(Raghu) What if this heaven becomes hell?

(Winter)You!! what you what from us! Just spit it out and you may leave!!

(Raghu) No,no! It's not that simple "Madam"!

After all I came here to buy this heaven of yours!!

(Rian) You think it's a piece of cake to buy this hospital! It's the dream of our mam and will not let you to santch it from her.

(Winter)*Calmly* Sorry sir but we don't feel like selling this hospital to you. That's all what I will speak. I hope I am clear to and You may leave now.

I knew that he was not the person to simply deal with.

(Raghu)*Laughing* Winter Fernandez! I think you live with your old mother alone... right??

(Rian)*Holding Raghu's collar* Hey you are you threatening us! I am warning you to leave here immediately or you have to bear the consequences!!

(Winter) Security! Take away Mr. Raghu and don't forget to give him a "goodbye gift".

*Guards entering the room*

(Raghu) Winter you did a big mistake....You will regret it!!

I was a bit scared as I am really weak when it comes to my mom.But don't know how... when Rian puthis hand on my shoulders I felt a bit relaxed!

(Rian) It's settled now! You don't have to worry!

(Winter)Hmm..

At that time his eyes were so gentle that I was going deep into them.That was my ultimate peace but how long will it last I don't know.

(Rian) Do one thing you just go home today and have rest..Aunty will be happy to see you early today. I will look after here and will call you if I need.

(Winter)But that's not...

I was not able to complete but he hugged me all of a sudden! Might he realized that I was a little scared by Raghu's threatening words.

(Rian)*Gently moving his hands over my hairs* No 'buts'...Just go and spend time with aunty.

Always I used to push him away whenever he tried to get close to me but today Might I eagerly want this hug.

(Winter)*shy*Umm..ok!

(Rian)*woke up suddenly and pushing me away* Soo..sorry..I..I..didn't mean..mean that mam!

(Winter)*smiling* It's okay Rian!And when you were...

*Phone rings*

(Winter) My Apologies! I need to take this call.

(Rian) Sure! Sure!

(Winter) Hello! Yes guard uncle!..........what an explosion!!??No!!!!!!

(Winter)W-Wh...what?!! A blast! Noooo!!

(Rian)Mam! Mam! What happened??!! Why you screamed??!! And what blast??

I was shivering and the drops of tears were continuously shedding from my eyes. My home security guard gave me the information that there was an explosion in my house!! My mom..My mom is still inside..no..no...no I..I...need to go!!

I stood up deliberately and started running like I was running to save my only thing in the world...My MOM!

I reached there and Rian was following me from the starting...he was confused that actually what happened bcoz I didn't tell him anything.

I was myself so confused about how, when and what happened all of a sudden and the questions that are all coming in my mind- My mom will be safe..right?

She is alright? She was rescued..right??!!

As I reached there the fire was already extinguished by the fire men but everything that was in front of me was a burnt and collapsed house..but wait..where is mother?!!

(Winter) Mom?!! Mom??!!

(Fire man) Mam are you the owner of the house?

(Winter) Ye.. yes!! Where is my mom?? Where is she?? She might be safe right? You rescued her? Where is she now?? Tell me! Are you deaf tell me??!!

I was so fierce and at the same time so scared as well...I lost everything...my dad..my brother...my relatives..my friends..now I can't lose my last thing! I just can't help it!!

(Fire man) Mam plz calm down...plz don't act so rashly.

(Winter) Why are you not answering my question first?! Where is my mom!?

A sound came from behind - Hey see!there's a dead body over there!

(Fire men) We're coming!

(Winter) Dea...Dead body?!

I don't know that what I was thinking at that time...my brain was not working at all....what the hell happened to me all of a sudden.

(Passer-by) Oh God! what's all this for?! Tut-tut* Winter was living alone with her mom and she loved her so much.

(Second person) Yeah..Leila was inside the house when the blast occurred...Oh my god! Who can do this! She don't deserve this terrible death..blah*..blah*..blah*

No...no...my mom...what they all are talking about...is it the right time for gossiping...my feet are feeling numb I...I can't stand on my legs Any more...

Mom where are you why the firemen are not letting me to see you...mom! Crying*

Screech* Sound of a car stoping

(Rian) Mam! Mam! What's all this.....happening?!

(Winter) Rian! Rian! Please please save my mom she...she is still waiting for me inside.... they're saying that... that... there's a dead body over there and...and cough*cough*

(Rian) Wait wait I'm all confused...what happened to your house and where is aunt Leila?

(Winter) When..when I was in hospital...sudden.. suddenly a call came and...

(Rian) Hmm? Then?

(Winter) It was my guard...and...and ...he said...that..that my..my...house and mom...crying*

(Rian) Win calm down plz win plz...are u sure that aunt Leila was in the house when the explosion happened?

(Winter) Guard said that she didn't..... go any where since I ....left the house in the morning.

(Rian) Let's go there and see whose that corpse is?

(Winter)shout* No!...No! no! never! It's not my mom it's not her....no way it can't be her!

(Rian) I didn't say that it is her! Let's go and check might it not be...

Interupts in between*

(Wimter) No way! No doubt is there...she is not my mom!...Because she promised me...she will wait..till I'll come!

I was shouting and calling out her name but there was no sign of her....as if I've lost her..

....I woke up with a shock and realized it to be a nightmare again..

One year has passed after that incident and I still have no clues about my mom's whereabouts.

The path I was leading to, was paved with obstacles but I've to overcome those to reach her. I caught Raghu and captivated him until he confessed in front of cops that he had the intentions to kill my mom....to blackmail me!

*Ringing.....

(Winter) Hello? Ryan? Why are you calling me so late? Anything's wrong??

(Ryan) No it's nothing....I am waiting down your villa....can you please open the door? I need to talk with you.

(Winter) Oh sure! I'm coming right away!

*What's up with him? What is he up to?* All random thoughts swirled in my mind until I opened the door and Ryan rushed in.

(Winter) Ryan? what's wrong?

(Ryan) Winter you remember the last words Raghu said before he was hung?

(Winter) *how could I even forget those words which caused me unable to sleep.* Yeah, I remember. He said that he trafficked my mom to mars because he got that starlight necklace on her.

*Actually that was so weird as he just did that for the necklace....he could've just asked for it, it doesn't worth more than my mother's life!

(Ryan) Exactly! That starlight necklace! So you never felt strange about what was so special about it?

(Winter) Ryan....My first priority now is it find mom and that's all what matters to me!

(Ryan) Winter That's what matters to me as well! I wouldn't have talked about that necklace with you at this hour if it wasn't related to aunt!

(Winter) *He mean that starlight necklace caused my mom to be disappeared? Like seriously all of sudden from no where someone just kidnapped her faking her death to obtain a stupid necklace?*

listen Ryan I'm so messed up right now. Either make yourself clear or just let me rest for a while cuz I'm exhausted. *After that incident I indulged myself completely in work and meanwhile investigated through the accident or I should say CONSPIRACY!*

(Ryan) *Sigh* I'm very well aware of that and that's why to relieve you I personally came here to deliver you the big news!

I stared blankly at him as I was so disorientated but before I could've spoken anything he gave me the hope of reuniting with my mom by saying....

(Ryan) The starlight necklace have some special powers in it which could strengthen a person's power and support him to live more than a normal being. Starlight necklace only activates if it is somehow touched by the real owner and it is initially owned by aunt so....

(Winter) You mean to say my mom could be still alive by now??!!

(Ryan) She must be, because it only works when the owner is still alive and touches it. Since Raghu said he trafficked aunt because of that so the mastermind behind all these are martians because mars self sustainability is reducing and they're starving which is causing them to die or have short life span.

(Winter) *The moment I hear those words I could feel the urge to reach my mom....the fire of revenge burning inside me through all these months....I was drowning into the deep abyss of my sorrows but now I have hope! I have Ryan!*

(Ryan) Hey, what are gazing at me for? You don't believe me?

(Winter)*I spurted out in joy* I do! I do! I knew she wouldn't leave me! thank you Ryan! **I love you!

*Did I just say "I love you" to him! Oh my damn brain*!

He hugged me suddenly and was holding me so firmly as if he was longing to hear those words from me but I kumar said those out of joy! *embarrassed

(Ryan) *whispers* Winter do you accept me? You know my feelings towards you, right? Don't get me wrong. I'm not taking advantage of the situation but....

*What should I answer him now? Oh my holy god why the hell did those words came out of my mouth!*
