Kimberly loves movies. Every movie is worth watching to her. She enjoys judging the cinematography and the acting quality. She and her friends always go together, until one day they get their signals crossed and Kimberly has to go to the movies alone. A tragedy to her, but a miracle to someone else.

Takei and Imai deal with one of the most common gripes in today's world: choosing what to watch.

After the kiss scene, which was a great success in creating the hype for the movie, director Zhang focused on the perfection of other scenes.
Soon emperor Jun and Ruyi arrived at the Kai kingdom and it was the time that director called for Tang Min, Zhou Mingyu and other cast members.
They were all very excited to again join the shooting of the movie. They were not expected such a long break from the shooting but if only they knew, Xin Mei and Chen Bai had snatched away their screen times.
"Tang Min and Zhou Mingyu, I hope in your break you both have taken proper training to act in the rest of your scenes. As you can see Chen Bai and Xin Mei had raised your benchmark. You both will have to work hard if you want to reach their level of acting."
"Understood director." Zhou Mingyu nodded her head.
She was hell jealous when she got to know Chen Bai was playing opposite to Xin Mei. She knew Chen Bai would add stars to the acting skills of Xin Mei.
Also, when Zhou Mingyu had read the comments on the online platform after their kiss scene, she had broken many of her precious things. She was raging with anger.
She felt hatred towards Xin Mei, who was trying it snatch everything from her!
"Why Xin Mei? Why? Why can you not leave me alone? Why are you destroying my career?"
Funny, it was Zhou Mingyu who cheated on Xin Mei but now Zhou Mingyu felt like Xin Mei cheated on her by leaving her side and becomes her competitor.
Whenever she had some scene with Xin Mei, she always glared at her. She thought Xin Mei was the one doing wrong to her. She felt a heavy burden on her shoulders by seeing the acting of Xin Mei perfecting each scene with in a single take. She felt enraged whenever someone praising the acting skills of Xin Mei.
"Why was I exposed in front of her? Why? Everything in my life is going wrong from that moment!" She whined and huffed angrily. "It's all your mistake Xin Mei and I will not leave you!"
It was one evening where everyone was still on the sets as they were filming a night scene. Xin Mei and Chen Bai were discussing the scene among themselves. On other side, Zhou Mingyu was burning whenever she saw the intersection in between them. Condition of Tang Min was not less.
"Senior Zhou, your boyfriend is here with dinner for everyone. Isn't he so sweet?" one of the female co-stars yelled and rushed towards Zhou Mingyu.
Zhou Mingyu planted a smile on her lips and walked towards Qian Fan.
"Bro Fan, you are here. I am so happy to see you. I don't know why but from morning onwards my mood was so terrible but now, that I have seen you, I am feeling quite happy." Zhou Mingyu smiled like a dotting girlfriend.
She stepped towards Qian Fan, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Mingyu, I brought some dinner for you and other cast members." Qian Fan informed and broke the hug. His eyes were searching for Xin Mei. It had been so long that he had last seen her.
Qian Fan was under an illusion that Xin Mei would rush towards him like in the past after seeing him but nothing like that happened. She spared him a glance before again looking towards the script in her hand.
The expression on the face of Qian Fan turned ugly when he saw how Xin Mei was ignoring him. He clutched his hand and took a deep breath to controlled his raging temper.
"Bro Fan, what have you brought in for dinner?" Zhou Mingyu gripped on the bicep of Qian Fan and looked at him with worry filled eyes. She felt a fear in her heart when she saw Qian Fan looking at Xin Mei without a blink of eyes.
"I have brought your favourite." He informed and asked his guards to distribute dinner to everyone, starting with Zhou Mingyu.
Everyone around Zhou Mingyu started to butter her and Qian Fan. Their buttering was the only best thing, which Zhou Mingyu liked on the sets of revenge.
Zhou Mingyu had spread the rumours that Qian Fan was planning to start his own management company. In that company, he would pouch the stars and would be giving them double pay.
Everyone was in the greed of getting double pay so they were buttering Zhou Mingyu. She had also lied about luxurious allowances, which their management company would be giving to the artists under them.
"Let me see what you have brought for me." Zhou Mingyu smiled and opened her packed food.
The smile left her lips when she saw the content in the tiffin box.
Didn't Qian Fan say that he had brought her favourite? Then what was Xin Mei's favourite doing inside the box?
With an ugly expression on her face, she looked at Qian Fan. He was again looking at Xin Mei.
Zhou Mingyu didn't know if she should keep smiling that Qian Fan brought dinner for her or should she cry that he was here to glance at Xin Mei and brought her favourite.
With two packed boxes in his hand, Qian Fan walked toward Chen Bai and Xin Mei. He took a deep breath before approaching them.
"Hi, Meimei. I brought dinner for you," he spoke quite informally, only to be ignored by her.
"Chen Bai, I have also brought dinner for you." Qian Fan passed him the box with a friendly smile on his face.
Su Zixin scoffed when he saw the fake smile on his face. He was well aware of the real face of Qian Fan.
"We don't need your charity. Aunty He Lin is sending dinner for us." Chen Bai spoke and turned his attention toward Xin Mei.
"Xin Mei, have this dinner. It's your favourite."
"Mister Qian, are you deaf? Didn't you hear Chen Bai? My mother is sending dinner for us. We don't need your charity." She spoke with rudeness in her voice.
Before Qian Fan could speak another word, a guard came with their dinner. They both ignored him and walked to retrieve the dinner, which they had to their fill.
From far away, Zhou Mingyu looked at the scene. She felt jealous and helpless when she saw how Qian Fan was going away from her hand.
'I think it's time for me to search for some other rich man who can replace Qian Fan. He is no longer a puppet of my fingers!'


"These are my conditions. You have to agree upon them before we can get married."

"Accepted. Each one of them is accepted. Any more conditions, soon to be wife?"

"Yes, I want your help to destroy my jerk of an ex-boyfriend."

A sly smile appeared on the lips of the men sitting opposite her. 

"With pleasure." How could he let his competitor stay unharmed? He would be having his own fun in destroying the man who had made him taste vinegar a lots of times.

"Something as?"

Before she could even shake her head, he stood up from his seat and held her hand. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"Civil affairs bureau. Any time later and it will be closed."

Xin Mei looked at the man with wide eyes, and before she could comprehend, she was sitting in civil affairs bureau with a marriage license in her hand.

****

Xin Mei woke up from coma after 3 weeks of long sleep. She faced a brutal reality like every other female lead; her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. Feeling vengeful, she decided to have her revenge.

It's payback time.

"She snatched my boyfriend; I will snatch her career from her." 

"He rejected me. No problem. I will find a more handsome man than him."

"His father made my father beg; now I will make him beg."

And who will help her? Su Yuchen!

Su Yuchen believed that a person can fall in love only once and he had already fallen in it. His belief was broken badly when he met Xin Mei. After tasting a lot of vinegar, he could not wait for another second to make her his wife. He could not lose his second inning in love.

We were a friend circle of five, although there were many more friends of each one of us, but there was something that was different about all of us five, from others. Actually, we were each other's best buddies to such an extent that many a times it wasn't necessary for us to even complete a statement, it was just a word and all other of us, just get easily what the person is saying or what the person meant to say. One can say, that we were with each other for such a long time that we were actually able to read each other's mind, and one more thing was there that was common with all of us that we were of the type who love to discuss about our dreams that we used to see when we sleep. By the way, this is Susan, a girl who likes to read, write, have fun with friends, play piano and flute and enjoy her life to fullest. My friend circle consisted of Manjula, Pinky, Sweety and Sam, all of them girls. Actually, Sam was having a name too tough to pronounce that we all were forced to agree that we all will call her Sam, and eventually the teachers even started calling her Sam.

One day, we all were seated altogether in the library talking slowly and about to begin our discussions about our dreams that suddenly our library teacher came. He was a person of about 30, always giving everyone long speeches of success or one can say, how to get success and actually, he was right also, because it was his dream(a real one) to see his students succeed and get the maximum that they can get from his library. He said to us jokingly that it seems like we five are the biological sisters who lost in a fair and that we ended up together as classmates because we were always sticked to each other. After having a conversation with us, he left to continue his work.

Our conversation started... First, it was Sweety 's turn to tell her dream. She started with a long smile and we all understood that it was going to be something good. She started it like this : In her dream, we all were together, sitting in a hall and planning to go outside and enjoy and to have some fun. After some discussion we all decided to go to a hill station, the coming sunday to be, and that she was given the responsibility of booking the tickets of hill station, hotel and car. Then, came the sunday, and we all were united at her house to wait for the car and then suddenly the scene changed, the next moment we all were in the car and she herself was driving the car and suddenly somebody came infront of our car and we all shouted her to stop but the other moment we saw that the person was none other than our common greatest enemy Sakhi and we all stopped shouting and she without hesitating ran the car into our beloved enemy, the car hit that cruel girl and she started flying and finally dropped on an island far away from everyone. We all very happy, we laughed and the dream ended.

We all ended up laughing in reality too, but we became quiet after that furious look of our library teacher. Don't know why, but we all wanted this dream to become true, even though we knew that hurting someone isn't good, still we wanted this to be true and suddenly Manjula shouted that "For everyone's happiness this must become true, or else the world's goodness will vanish", but we all helped her in becoming quite, as Sir was still looking at us and we even told her that the way she was saying it looked like she was a leader and she was speaking about an international issue.

Then came my turn. Although my dream was truly like a dream, but it was something different also. Thus, I put on a simple face and started my story : It was a school day and we all were in the school but there was something different as very few students were present in the school and everyone was assembled in lines for the morning assembly and on that day our school was going to celebrate cleanliness day and our principal ordered strictly that no one is going to eat their tiffin boxes while assembly is going on and the student council was ordered to check and I being the school captain was the leader of supervision (actually, I am truly the school captain in reality). I suddenly saw my favourite teacher Miss.Manisha(she never taught me, she was a primary teacher but she acompanied me to an exhibition in which I was the representative of my school). I went to her, and talked about random things and then I asked her what was in her hands and she told me that her mother packed two tiffin boxes for her and she was finding someone to give her second tiffin to, and then suddenly she asked me that can I have it, coincidentally I was hungry and took it and even started eating, even though the morning assembly was still going on and after sometime when the tiffin was about to finish, I heard that principal sir is coming, so I helped myself in eating my tiffin faster and ran to staff room,  avoiding principal sir and reached their safely. I was just going to place the tiffin on Madam's table that I thought I must wash it, as I am the one who had it. I thought that principal sir would have reached the stage by now, so the school building will be safe to wander around and I started moving towards the taps. I suddenly saw my friend(not from us five, someone junior) running towards me and she said something while brushing past me but I wasn't able to understand it, so I kept on moving. The next moment, I saw principal sir standing in front of me and I ran behind thinking that he hasn't saw me. Not before reaching far away from him, I heard him shouting my name, I thought that I will surely be punished if he saw the tiffin in my hand then suddenly I saw my junior friend once again, so I handed over the tiffin to her, told her to keep it for a while and went to ask principal sir, that why he was calling my name. When I reached to him, he asked me what I was doing there, I told him that I am just checking that whether all students had went to assembly or someone is still hiding in the school building. He said nothing and kept on moving.Then, I asked him that there is a lot of darkness in the school building so why do not he orders for more tubelights and bulbs, and then he replied that there weren't any funds. But I told him that as I know government gives a lot of funds to our school, so where does it goes and he replied that obviously it goes in the pockets of people. I just jokingly asked him that whether it goes in his pocket also and to my surprise he replied yes. I was truly shocked. But the other moment, he said leave all these things and go to Mrs.Veena to ask for the cards that we were supposed to wear while cleaning. After this, he headed for stage and I went to Veena ma'am to ask for cards. When I went to her and was about to ask her about the cards, I saw that she was already having those colourful cards in her hands. After having look of me, she shouted a lot and told me that she was searching for me indeed. After finishing her long lecture, she handed over all the cards to me, and explained me that there are different cards for principal sir, vice principal sir, teachers, student council and students. She also told me that the card of principal sir has already been taken by Mr.Verma to give to him, as he will receive the card in front of everyone on stage with legacy. So, I looked at stage to see that legacy and to my surprise the time when verma sir was about to put the card in principal sir 's neck, the scene changed and.......
The scene became the scene of marriage, while principal sir became the bride and verma sir became the groom and verma sir was about to tie the thread of marriage in principal sir 's neck that my dream ended. 

This left all of us spellbound and this time it was impossible for us to stop our laughs. After trying hard, we all stopped laughing and continued our discussion. Sweety was like who eats tiffin in the morning assembly, Pinky was mentioning about the funds going in senior teacher's pockets, Sam was still like, our school isn't dark and Manjula wasn't able to stop her imagination of what would have happened next in my dream. After discussing about all this and about the dreams of all other friends (except Pinky as she wasn't able to remember what she saw in her dream), no one of us was able to stop smiling and thinking what would have happened next. 

Then the bell rang, and we headed to our class, smiling and laughing with tears of overjoy in our eyes...

We all have dreams, we all have nightmares, but sometimes a nightmare turns out to be too dramatic or too horrifying... Sometimes, it turns out like, something that you have experienced in your nightmare leaves deep marks on your reality which cannot be explained...

Some places aren't meant to be explored, some things don't need a recognition, some times it becomes impossible to survive... And some creatures don't like strangers...

"Dad, don't leave me. I become sad. Momma becomes sad when you leave," the little girl cried hugging her father.
"Laura, Daddy needs to go for money. I'll get you many gifts when I return. You're my brave daughter. Don't cry..." Her father wiped tears off her cheeks and kissed her cheek.
"Laura has money! Wait." Laura ran to her room.
 
Her father stayed there, sitting on the floor. His heart ached at the thought of leaving his family behind. But duty calls.
 
After a while, he noticed Laura running towards him with something big in her hands.
"See Daddy! Laura has money. We can use this..." saying this, she threw her piggy bank which shattered into pieces.
 
"LAURA!" it was too late to stop her. Looking at the scattered coins, he deliberately collected them into a pile.
"Laura, keep saving money. When Daddy will become `old, he will use your money. Okay?" he raised his hands asking for a hug.
"Daddy needs to go, Laura. Take care of Momma. After I leave, you're the head of the house. Be strong." He struggled to contain his emotions. Feeling helpless, he stood up, lifting Laura in his arms.
 
Looking at them from a distance, Laura's mother, Kiara's heart sank deep within her body. She struggled to act strong, but she failed bitterly as a single drop of tear rolled down her right cheek. 

Laura's father, Captain Lauren Williams, is one of the most renowned captains of the country. It was time for him to leave his family. Having no consistent time zones for a seafarer, he never tried to set the correct time on his watch. This was the only way he could feel that he was still near his family. Looking at the wall hanging clock, he set the exact time on his watch.
Laura and her mother looked at the distancing figure from behind. For the last time, Lauren turned around to say his final goodbye. His heart ached looking the crying face of his daughter and the emotionless face of his wife. She had always been strong enough to handle everything in his absence. He very well knew that she was trying to hide her emotions and not to cry in front of him… not to make him sad. 

His biggest fear was when his family would need him, he might not be around. 

...


Two months passed…
Laura was getting ready for school. Her mother was busy packing tiffin for her. 

"Laura, breakfast is ready! Come fast," she called out for Laura while filling a glass of water.
"Yes, Momma..." Laura ran out of her room and hopped on to the dining chair. 
"Cornflakes again..." Laura frowned upon seeing the bowl of milk and cornflakes.
"No complaining, Laura. It's healthy," Kiara started making Laura's hair.
"What's for tiffin, Momma?"  Laura's mouth was full while she tried to speak. 
Tying her silky shiny hair into a sleek ponytail, 
"Bread and cutlet," Kiara started packing Laura's school backpack.

After a few minutes, both drove off to the school.
On arriving at her school, Laura noticed a father holding his daughter's hand on their way to the main school gate. Laura's smile quickly turned into a frown. She longed for her father to be near her and hold her hands like the rest. 
"Momma, when is father coming?" Laura looked up at her mother.
"Soon, Laura."  Kiara's face gave a gentle smile.
"I'll come to pick you up from school."  

"Okay, Momma. I love you." Laura smiled widely, revealing her small white teeth.
"Love you the most, Laura." Kiara bent down to give her a kiss.
"Take care."

"Bye, Momma!"




Months passed as Laura patiently waited for her father to return.
 

One day, Laura was busy drawing her favorite cartoon figure. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Laura quickly stood up and ran towards the door. She hurriedly unlocked the door with her little fingers.
"Who is it?" Laura was about to look up when she heard a recognizable voice.
"Laura, how many times do I have to say that not to open the door without knowing who is there on the other side?" 
Laura couldn't understand what was happening. She looked up to see a familiar figure but couldn't believe her own eyes. She rubbed her eyes twice before looking at the towering figure.
She hesitantly touched the man on his legs… she was very short compared to the tall man standing in front of her. 
"Dad?"  she whispered… 
"Hahaha! Laura, my baby. It's me! Your dad!" Lauren laughed at the adorable confused face of his daughter.
"Dad!" Laura shrieked. She exploded into tears.
She had waited too long to see her father this time. She tightly hugged his leg.
Lauren picked her up in his arms and pecked her many times on her face.
"Who is it, Laura?" both heard Kiara speak.
"Momma! It's Dad! Come here quick." Laura was very excited.
Kiara stopped in her tracks and watched at the father-daughter pair standing at the main entrance.
"Lauren?" she narrowed her eyes, trying to focus on the man standing in front of her.
She rushed towards him to give him a tight hug. Both hugged Laura tightly.
"All of a sudden?" Kiara couldn't find enough words to speak.
"Yes, I tried to contact you. But, the service was unreachable. The ship needs maintenance now. So, I'm home for the next four months." Lauren kissed Kiara on lips.
"Daddy, go take a rest for a while. And Momma, you go cook some delicious food for daddy." Laura ordered them.
"Okay, Ma'am." Lauren saluted.
Kiara laughed seeing Lauren salute Laura. Laura was too short and barely reached till Lauren's thighs.
"Go get fresh… I'll prepare something for you."

“Mr. David, do you have anything to say to prove your innocence?”  a lady in her mid-twenties, asked the man standing in front of her desk. Her face was full of grace, her brown eyes reflected confidence, and her attitude; a class apart.
“No, Ma’am. I have nothing else to say. I admit my mistakes.” David’s eyes were downcast and had no courage to look at her fierce eyes.
“Draft a termination letter and specify the remarks in the code of conduct certificate. Make sure you report every single mistake he committed during his stay in this company.” the lady directed her secretary, Lily, while reaching out to a file, out of the stack of files on her desk.
 
“Leave.” She looked at the man hanging his head in dishonor.
 
Laura Williams, the Chief Executive Officer of a huge conglomerate, is known for her impeccable business acumen, accompanied by her equally fierce and ruthless demeanour.
 
A perfectionist, a loving daughter, and a responsible sister, she started working at a very young age to earn enough to not let her father leave her again. Her only dream was to have a happy family who always spent time together. But destiny had its own plans. One day, her whole family died in a car crash, when she was just fifteen years old. Her relatives abandoned her. In the time of need, she had only her best friend, Lily, and her mother, who had always stood by her side. They were her only family.
 
An all-rounder of her school, a gold-medalist of her university, she set an ideal example for the world. She devoted her whole life to working hard and becoming successful, whatever her parents had dreamed for her. Named one of the “Top CEOs of the world” and a history of a decent past, Laura was one of the most desirable bachelorettes. Despite that, she had no intention of seeking a partner or starting a family of her own.

But what will happen when the CEO of the largest conglomerate, Brandon Reynolds, crosses paths with her accidentally?

Natalia went rushing to hug her best friend, from past nine years. From being colllege -mates, they have been thick friends ever since.
"Sheryl my darling friend!!" Natalia screamed and rushed to hug the blonde girl, who was dressed in a simple yet elegant blue colored high neck dress. 
"Nati!!" Sheryl hugged back the girl with equal happiness. "I am meeting you after so many days. Ahh!! I miss those everyday college cafeteria coffees." She walked inside the living room, comfortably as if she had been visiting in the house since ages. "My baby Mila! How are you!!?" She picked the cute chubby girl in her arms, taking her away from Natalia's arms, kissing her fondly on her cheeks, leaving her transparent gloss marks on her cute chubby face. 
"Aunty... Sheryl... I want a chocolate candy. Mom does not give it to me." The cute girl in pigtails frowned looking at her mother. 
Sheryl laughed looking at Mila. "Do not worry. You and big brother are staying with me for three days. I will spoil you with everything that you want. Mommy will not evem get to know about it." She raised her hand and Mila grinned, giving her aunty a high five. 
Natalia nodded her head in diapproval, but she knew, she was helpless when Sheryl came to their house. Raol and Natalia's kids adored their Aunty Sheryl ever since they were born and Sheryl made sure to pamper them to the core.
They both entered Raos's room, where the little boy was still busy playing games on his mother's phone. As soon as he saw Sheryl, he threw away the phone on bed and rushed meet her. "Aunty Sherylllll!!!!" He screamed and rushed to hug her. 
"Raos my sweetheart!! How are you?" Sheryl placed down Mila on bed, hugging the boy now. "How is your time machine model project working out?" 
"It is going great aunty. I won the first prize for it in school and I will soon have a presentation in NASA, as our school team is going their." Raos held her hand, showimg her a gigantic oval shaped machine, filled with electrical wires of different colors. 
Sheryl patted the boy's head and kissed his head. "You can even beat your dad. Can not believe you made this all by yourself." Sheryl said proudly.
"Yes aunty. And this time daddy also did not help me. I made it from the scrap that people throw away on beaches and in their dustbins. They do not understand that nothing in this world is scrap. Everything in this world is reusable and recycleable. I want to prove it in NASA that they do not need a huge budget, but just use the thrown away material of the entire world and mould it as per the requirement!" Raos pointed at several machineries he had created, which were actually made of used and moulded plastic bottles, bags, trash cans and several other junk items. 
Sheryl could not help but feel proud of the boy. "You are amazing my boy. Look what I got for you." She fiddled something from her hand bag and took out a book, giving it to Raos. 
"Wooww!!! The latest scientific encyclopedia!!" The tiny boy looked at the book in awe and hugged the woman happily, as if he was given a priceless treasure. 
"What about me aunty Sheryl? You did not get me anything?" Mila sulked in one corner, her cheeks sulking and getting more plump and red out of jealousy. 
"Do you think it is possible, that i will not get anything for my Mila?" Sheryl smiled and shuffled her bag and took out a pink colored box, giving it to her. "This is for you my sweetheart." 
The cute girl came running holding the box and opened it hurriedly. "Wow!! Clay making jewellery!!! Thank you aunty!" She hugged the woman and then sat on the bed, opening the box, picking out pieces of clay, trying to make a bracelet for herself.
Natalia who was side by side packing the luggage, was smiling looking at the three of them. She was used to the fact that Sheryl and her kids too shared a special bond. A bond, which was emitted naturally, right after they were born, as if it has been since ages. She could never forget the help she had recieved from Sheryl, each time she was expecting the two of her kids. Sheryl was and will always be her best friend and her soul sister. 
"So how is Cheryl doing now? Has she improved after been taken out of Fabiosa!?" Natalia asked in a worried tone, while Sheryl also started helping her pack up the things. 
"Sigh! I hope so. I am not sure. Her mysterious phone calls do scare me. She does not divulge much, but she is coming back from shooting from Paris, for her new movie with Kareem. So hopefully, she will finally learn to work hard in her life." Natalia let out a big sigh, zipping up the tiffin box of the kids. 
"Hmmm! Paris? Is she after Rhehan and Rose again?" Natalia suddenly stopped and looked at the pretty blonde girl's sad face.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sheryl stopped and looked at her in confusion. 
"Well, I am not sure, but what I hear from Raol that Rhehan and Cheryl slept together, he was drugged and Cheryl took him to her room, which made the couple fall apart for a few days. God bless their pure love that they still love each other and went to Paris for honeymoon. I just hope she did not go to Paris, to harm them and its purely work!" Natalia spoke in a concerned voice, thinking about the beautiful couple whom not just Raol but she herself adored so much. 
"What??! Why did you not tell me that Nati!! I had no idea about this. After beimg humiliated from Fabiosa, now she is doing all this to Wilson family!!?" Sheryl pressed the temples of her head. Her charming face, had now knitted eyebrows. 
Natalia walked upto the girl and patted her back. "Relax. Now she is working hard for the movie. She knows, she has a good opportunity, so I don't think she will do anything to harm anymore of her reputation! Besides, Raol will not let it happen again." Natalia hugged her best friend comforting her. She knew, Sheryl had always been worried about Cheryl evet since their parents died. 
"Only you know Natalia, how much we owe to that family. She can not do anything to Rose and Rhehan. If she ever does anything, she will have to know the truth! The truth which I have kept hifden from past so many years. Only you know about it!!" Natalia chocked on her own words and hugged back the girl.
"I know sweetheart! I know! She will not do anything. Just keep a check on her, while on film shoots. That is it! Go everyday and just keep a check on het day to day workings." Natalia wiped away the girl's tears, smiling at her. In meanwhile Raos and Mila too came, seing their precious aunty cry and hugged her too, bringing back a beautiful smile on Sheryl's face. 


Rhehan expected her to fall for his wicked smile. The moment he tried to touch her uncovered thigh , he was thrusted with a tight slap on his right cheek.

The beautiful woman sitting in his front cursed him and stormed out of the cafe.
The nymphomaniac within him took a break again and he could not even sleep.

He had to take revenge for the slap.
How dare she hit him like that? Doesn't she know who he is? How can a girl possibly be not affected by his looks and wealth? 
.....
The next day he entered the same cafe and ordered everyone to move out. Nobody had the courage to refuse him. As soon as the girl was also about to leave, he held her waist and pushed her closer to his already lusty body.
It was just the two of them in the cafe.

" Not you my dear," he said holding her waist and feeling her curves on his hardness.
.....
What will prevail Love or Lust? For a nymphomaniac man like Rhehan is it possible to love anybody in his life?

Get ready to experience a rollar-coaster ride of Love, romance, mystery, magic and action.?


P.S.

Since many people are confused about me using the term Nymphomaniac for a male, I would like to clarify that there is a reason I have done that!

She got ready and took her bag.

"You don't want the tiffin?  You have not packed that? "

"Mum, I want to eat chicken fried rice today.  you have packed only bread.  I don't want that .." Hannah said with a sense of contempt.  

Lea hates when kids behave like this.  In her opinion, 

"Good, then don't eat.  I am not the daughter of the president of our country.  I am just an ordinary clerk in a private firm.  I can't afford too much expense and don't have any plans to waste my energy and time on unnecessary demands.  I have not packed mt tiffin.  I am taking you're today.  ". She took the tiffin box and walked to her room to put it in bag..

😯😯😯😯 "Mamma, I will take that.. give it to me.. I was juzzzzzt telling that I wish to have them... afterall your jam makes that bread more delicious... my sweet mommy... lub uuuuuuu..". She snatched the box from Lea's hand..

Before Lea could tell anything, she unpacked her bag and put the tiffin inside.

Lea hold her laugh with much difficulty.... 

I can handle thus naughty pumpkin only this way.  Dear Michael, am sad that you are not lucky to see our little hanna growing up... Your daughter is soo naughty and sweet like you.. 

-------

As soon as the cab came to her gate, Hanna went inside.   Around 10 students were there.  She noticed Riny was absent.  

"Cab uncle, good morning.  Where is Rini?"

She will come later with her father, he said.

😥😥😥 Point of view of Hanna:

I don't like him..Why she come with him.  He is bad.  Always beats Aunty, Riny and brother Ron.  I was scared on tjat day when I saw blood oozing from aunty's head.  Riny was screaming.  Mummy called 999 and ambulance came.  I donno how we saved her.  Uncle beat her.  

After two days he came back to hospital to see aunt.  He was drunk then.  

He reached the hospital gate, got out of the cab.  He was in such a situation that he can't identify where to go.. Instead of entering the gate, he went to opposite direction and fell down there.  Mummy and me were watching it from aunty's hospital room.  Mummy kept silent and behaved as if she has not seen anything.  That was good.  I also did the same.. He should suffer.  He hurt aunty that much.  

Someone picked him to hospital.  He broke his hand when he fell.  He was also admitted at the hospital.  Poor aunty, when she came to know this, she ran to him,. "Oh my dear.. How can I see you like this".. She started to take care of him but he beat her there also...

Aunty is sooo good, she love him that much.  If I were her, I would have killed him.  😈😈😈😈😈
He never cared them.... I cannot imagine how Riny and Ron bro love him.. After this incident, when I went to Church, I bought a white candle and lit it up in front of Jesus and prayed to help aunty to get rid of that idiot...

"When death comes to me, I want to die holding your hand.
The last words I hear should be your sweet words.
The last view I see should be your beautiful face.
The last thought I have should be your sweet memories.
The last breath I have should have your fragrance,
Enough, this is enough for me to reborn even as a grass leaf to see you and my Hannah again."

His death wish came true... Reborn to save his wife and little cutie....

In the life, they found love in each other... Love never dies....and He reborn.....

"How can you be so sure," She asked while peeking at him with her shock eyes.
"See, his position is like he was running and was unexpectedly fell on the ground, it means, that mysterious or any other guy must have been inserted that thing inside his shoes which crush him and paralyzed him, because look, his bottom side of legs are having cuts just like tiny holes " He mumbled while moving closer to her and indicating her the photo.
"Oh...my God.... she is very close to me.....
" She smells so nice; I can't even stop my deep breathing " His thoughts were going crazy which later were appearing on his face.
April nodded as she found something valuable in his suggestion.
Then she packed her file and was ready to leave.
"Ok Doctor...I mean Chester, thank you for co-operating with me" 
"Always welcome " he asserted while blushing.
" Thanks once again, I am leaving now -"
"What...so early? "he shouted, " God... I think I said that out loud " 
April gave him a complicated expression.
"I mean...you can leave now but...can you give me your mobile number, just in case you need my help you can call me without any hesitation " he moved to pick his phone.
She did not refuse him; this was the first time where her heart was giving a unique feeling which was feeling good but was unnamed.
Then Chester was going to drop her outside but she denies it.
Then she came out of the Barlon jail.
As soon as she stepped out of the jail, fresh thoughts were arriving in her mind about Chester.
Then suddenly her phone vibrates, it was a text from an unknown number.
(Hi, Chester here)
(Keep working hard)
There were two simple sentences with poor grammar but were enough to cheer her heart.

AT LANDON JAIL: Time ~10:00 pm
Barry had returned to the police station while dropping Ellen and Arthur to their houses.
France's legs had suffered from another disease and that's why he was in the operation theatre for the whole day.
Barry and others didn't get a single chance to investigate Frances and the doctor, they had wasted their time in the hospital for ~ 3 hours.
 He relaxes on his chair, and his phone rang it was Fred.
"Barry, I think I get a new clue " His voice was brutal like it was so urgent.
"What....speak properly " Barry wakes up from his chair after hearing to Fred.
"Barry, I was investigating one grocery shop named Lincoln, and when I showed the photo to the shopkeeper, he said that he had seen that man
" That man had stolen the shoes from his shop..."Fred had calm down his breath.
"Oh...My God that good-" Barry was just going to acknowledge him when Fred cut him out 
"But that retailer said that the shoes which Frances had stolen were totally different from the shoes which were in the photo"
"What " number of opinions came across Barry mind as he shouts 
"Yes...the shoes which Frances had wear were totally different 
" And when I tried to check out the footage of that day, I....-"
"I....What?" Barry clapped his hand on the table as he heard his broken sentence.
"I was shock to death because the video footage was encrypted 
" Like someone had deleted it or just cut it "
"Oh...jeez how's that possible " Barry was checking the Frances photo one more time.
"Yeah...I know...wait in the police station, I will be there soon " Fred opens the door of the cab which he had ordered.
Then from the exit door of the station, one normal car arrived, and it was blowing the horn continuously.
Barry was familiar with this noise.
He directly packed his bag and signalize other officers that he will leave now and run to the door while speaking on the phone 
"Ah...No... Fred, don't come now, I am leaving to my house, you should also go to your home, we will talk about this tomorrow and try to collect more information about that shop , Bye " Barry disconnected the call without even listening to Fred.
Then he opened the car door and enter.

"Wow, I didn't imagine that you will come that fast " April said while running her fingers from his hairs.
Barry gave her a fake smile while removing her fingers from his head " Hm.....Because I know, if I get late then a what will happen to my body " 
"Drive fast, I am really hungry really, it's like the mouse who were shouting for food are already died because of hunger " He points towards his stomach.
"What....You didn't eat you...tiffin " Her face was having a big question mark as she asked him.
"Oh...jess...I completely forget to eat the tiffin when she provided me " He thought but he did not dare to say it loud, because he knows if he did then what will happen next.
"Of course, I have eaten the tiffin which you gave me, the food was really tasty but after doing so hard work, I get hungry again " Barry lie to her.
"Oh...really..."
"Yes"
"Then tell me, what was in the tiffin?"

"Yes.....Yes.....
" OH!!! Jesus!!! I can't believe I create it 
"Crystal..........I really create it " Charles cried out, he was like a baby who had just finished his math assignment after a long time.

(Congratulations Boss, you get succeed to make a genetic virus ) 


"Now just see Crystal, how I punish that criminals "
Charles declared while twisting his fist.

AT Barry's HOME :
"Barry let's clear this topic now, will you or will you not, marry me? " April yelled, she was carrying a stick in her hand and was frightening Barry.
"Yes.....Yes, I will marry you April I will definitely marry you but after -"
"After what?"
"After catching that mysterious guy " He confessed.

AT POLICE STATION :
"Sir, I think I get the leading evidence...." Barry said while showing The chef a bunch of papers.
"What?" Chef groaned.
"I think the man who is punishing the criminals is a professional.........'
