“If you want we will drag him here in your feet.” Mars was excited. He couldn’t wait to snatch that policeman’s hair and threw it at his boss’s feet. Now he was a powerless man, who couldn’t pull a single hair of them.
“Not now!” Christian stopped him. “Finish all the works which left because of him.” As Boss ordered, Mars and another gang of men stopped.
“Where is that woman? Did you find her?” His cold voice fell to their ears.
“Not yet. I checked upon all callgirl standing in front of Mike Bar. She was not there.” Mars face turned down.
“She was not a call girl.” Christian pressed his hands at the edge of armrest. “Where could she gone?”
When Christian woke up in the morning, he saw some money kept on the another side of the bed. Hundred dollars with a short note.
“I only had this much.” His eyes squinted when he saw that money. What that girl considered him, a male prostitute. He crushed that money in his hand grinning his teeth. Not only she considered him male prostitute but valued him just hundred dollars.
“You guys knew the news of the whole world and could not find that girl.”
“Boss, I have sent our men to find her.” Mars trembled a little bit to see dark expressions on his face.

Four year later at airport
Ava’s eyes were searching for someone at the waiting room. She was rolling her eyes around but found no one. Her face flashed with extreme disappointed, the situation after three years was still the same. Nothing has changed, no one came to pick her up.
She held her trolley by one hand and her another hand grabbing a tiny fist. A cute tiny fist wrapped around her fingers, which was bulging at backside. A cute little doll like baby around two years old was clinging on her.
“Ava..” she turned back as soon as she heard a familiar voice from behind. Her dull face glimmered to see her good friend Ria came to pick her.
“I am sorry I am late. You must be waiting since a long time.” Her friend quickly hugged her with some guilt on her face. A mild smile appeared on Ava’s face.
“You came to pick me that’s more than enough.” Ava was firstly hesitant to ask for a help from her friend Ria. But she was getting back after four whole year making it awkward to visit her native place again.
Ria took her trolley bag and suddenly her eyes went on a cute little tiny girl. She blinked her eyes twice when she saw that small toddler.
“Is this your sister’s kid? You mentioned that last evening.” Ria rubbed that baby’s head. Ava looked at Stella. Stella was too small to understand big people’s thing.
“Yeah she is!” Ava nodded her head. “She will stay with us.” Ava caressed Stella’s head. Her eyes sparkled every time when she saw Stella’s face. She was full of innocence, trying to encode the world.
They checked out of the airport and came to the parking area. Ria loaded her luggage on the carrier of her car. And they sat inside.
“So you are now Dr Ava, isn't it so exciting?” Ria cheered her up. Ava smiled bitterly. This was the biggest excuse she made while leaving abroad.
When she woke up that morning, she found herself lying naked beside a naked man. She patted her forehead because she took very big step in anger last night.
Felix cheated her many times but they both mended their relation that night she did something that she didn't able to face him again. She couldn't go to her best friend Milley, because they both were the reason for her heartbreak.
Ava’s neck straighten with proud when she heard that,
“Poor girl! How god snatch her parents from her. Doesn’t she have any grandparents?” Ria asked hesitatingly.
Ava sat in the car beside Ria who was driving the car. Ava looked at Stella again and shook her head with no.
“Thats so sad! So she will be live with you?” Ria stared at Stella from the rear mirror and asked Ava again. Ava again nodded. Stella’s innocent face was making her heart heavy.
The car stopped in front of old building. Its gate opened with a screeching sound. Ria took the luggage down and they entered that building.
Ava wiped dust on the old frame of her family photo. Her eyes turned moist as she knew she never gets those days back. Ria came with a hot coffee mug for her.
“Isn't that Alan.” Ria peeked into the photo and asked her pointing to a small kid standing in the middle of the photo.
“You guessed right.” ava said. Ria and Ava, we're starting their childhood pictures, and suddenly Ria realised Stella was looking exactly similar to Ava and not her sister.
“You just look like stella.. Didn't you? But your sister, she looked different.” she turned back glancing at Stella. Ava widened her eyes and realised Ria’s suspicious eyes falling on Stella.
“She took after her aunt.” Ava interrupted her. Ava stood in between them stopping Ria from glancing at Stella.
“Mumma. Where are we?” Stella rubbed her eyes as soon as she woke up. She found herself in a strange place and was scared a little bit.
“We are at aunt’s place.” Ava calmed her down.
