First encounter -I

1 year before

"When are you leaving?" asked Maggie

"Soon. Just now the customer call and request to open for a little while she is coming to get her cake. "

"Okay. To remind you the weather will be bad tonight. the sky is cloudy and no stars can be seen." Maggie said calmly but concerned tone.

"Ok? My Guardian Angel ." Sia giggled

Maggie shake her head and start to leave. Before leaving the shop she turned again toward counter where Sia is sitting as if she remembered something. But before she say anything Sia speak "And also will send me the taxi number and call me when you reach your dorm." Sia say this like she was mimicking Maggie

Maggie smiled and leave.

Maggie is her elder cousin who is a year older than her. Maggie 's mother adopted Sia after her parents died in an accident. Sia was very sad and depressed after her parents death. it was Maggie who comforted and supported her. She is the 1st person Sia think of whenever in any problems. So she call her Guardian Angel. Maggie also is her best friend and co worker. Both of them work at ***Beaker's* Paradise** which was left by Sia 's parents to her. She is the biggest support to her.

The wind chime started to ring as someone entered the shop. It was a lady in her late 20s or early 30s . She was in her office dress as if directly coming from work. She is one of regular costumer of her shop. Today is her daughter's b'day. She ordered a princess cake for her daughter.

"Sorry for being so late. I totally forgot about the cake." She said as she hurriedly walk to the counter.

"It's ok Mrs Gray. " Sia said as she started to pack the cake carefully.

"Wow. The cake is really beautiful. She will surely love it."

"Ohh .Thank you for that .Let me help you put it in your car."

"Thank you so much. Am I your last customer ?"asked Mrs Gray

"Yeah. I was only waiting for you."

"I'm so sorry for making you wait so long. Let me drop you at your place." said Mrs Gray as she was feeling guilty for making her wait.

"It's ok Mrs Gray. Your daughter must be waiting for you. I will get a cab for my self."

"Ohh I forget the time .It's about 10:30 pm ." she said looking at time on her phone .

"I will take a leave then . Thank you and sorry too."

"It's ok. Wish your daughter Happy birthday from my behalf too."

"Ohh .Sure .Bye . See you."

Sia waved her hand saying good bye and turn to her shop.

A big lightening following sound showed that it will rain soon.

'Maggie can never be wrong about weather' though Sia and get into her shop to do some last chores and close the shop.

After closing shop Sia was waiting for her cab. She was looking here and there. Her eye fall on a guy who was crossing the road and walking towards her direction. His hair was all messed up and he was holding a bottle. Most probably alcohol. He must be drunk cause he was staggering alot while walking. His outfit was not like pervert or gangster . But she remember Maggie told her some pervert doesn't look like what they are. A sudden fear run through her body as he was approaching nearer. She wanted to run to her shop but her leg freezes in fear. He was few steps away. She take a deep breath and thought that she will kick his private part if he approach her. Her eye was fixed on that guy as he passed next to her . She breath a sigh of relief and looked back . That guy was sitting on a chair at bus stop. His face was quite visible .

Wow he is really handsome. Well his body is not bad also. Is he a model or an actor?

her thought get interrupted as the rain started to pour. She run to the bus stop for shelter.

She looked at the guy again. A drop of water roll down from his cheek . Is he crying? Why?

What should I do? He does not look like a bad guy at least I can give him a tissue paper. She thought that and started to search for tissue in her bag. But that guy stand up and started walked out of the bus stop in the rain. Did I make him feel uncomfortable? She thought looking at his back and feeling guilty.

A car honk interrupted her thought. The cab she booked have arrived. She looked once again toward the direction that guy was walking before getting into the cab.

Thud a sound she heard as she was getting in the cab. She looked at that guys direction he was laying on ground.
