VANSH'S POV:-

"Finally I can relax now..huffff" sitting on the sofa after my long journey I relaxed my next and leaned back on the sofa..

🎶🎶
Ay! Ay! Ay!
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay! Ay! Ay!..
🎶🎶

Picking up by glasses placed on the table after my phone rang and by the ringtone I smiled as it was compulsory to take it..
"Hi love, how are you" I exclaimed to my dear on video call.
"Mumma, do tell him that I don't want to talk to him" my cute little four year girlfriend was upset.
"I hope you listened..what our princess said" my sister-in-law chuckled and shared screen with her daughter.
"Ji Bhabhi, I had listened to what my laddo said" I had to tease my cutie to catch her attention again.
"Heyyy!! Chachuuu I'm not laddoo..please don't say that" Alisa immediately turned her face to the camera and cried loud.
"Ok! Okay! my love..don't be upset anymore..I couldn't make it" with my puppy face..I hope she'll have mercy on me.
"Hmm..but you have to promise me that next time you'll call immediately after landing..you know! mumma was so worried" Alisa complained.
"As you say dear" I just bowed down my neck.
"Sorry bhabhi, mein airport se nikalne ke baad seedha ghar hi aaya aur ab samaan unpack kr aapka phone attend kiya" I accepted with my one hand on ear in sorry pose.
"Okay ok..take care of yourself..khaana time par..aur time se soo bhi jana and remember to take breaks..call bhi krte rehna varna your girlfriend will create a fuss in house" my bhabhi giggled with instructing me with her motherly words.
"Sure bhabhi" I replied with a nod.
"Oooh boyfriend, apni ringggcall change mat krna and do wear blue" with her twinkling eyes and lisped.
"Yes ma'am, anything else" I asked as an obedient servant-cum-boyfriend.
"Uummmmm(thinking) keep in my mind..I'm your only girlfriend" she instructed with wide eyes coming near the camera.
"Yes ma'am" bhabhi and I laughed at her lisped words.
"Bye-bye chachu!"Alisa waved at her camera.
"Bye" I said ending the call with a flying kiss towards camera.

Alisa is the one before whom I turned myself to a child..giggling..cuddling and playing with her is one of my favorite activities alongwith those which totally appears wild to me too.
After taking a shower and dressing ,I got ready to take a walk around and get something to eat..the appealing dark night and soothing air of my motherland was exciting me to step out.

Dialing to someone on my way..I settled my mask over my ears..

(conversing over call)

"What is the situation there" I enquired.
"All fine Vishal,bhabhi and Alisa are at home safe and sound and Vivek bro is in his company" he replied.
"Is everything ready" I was waiting for a "yes".
"Yes, almost" he answered.
"And what about the arme à feu?" I continued.
"I had settled everything for you..the only thing you have to do is to get it from the location" he answered in a hurry.
"Impressive! Send me the locations"
I crossed the road while checking the message.
"Yes I got it" with a pause I answered finding the message on our chat.
"Good luck" he named our code.
"Good luck" I repeated and end the call.

At the end of the street..exactly at the dividing road..I was able to see the lights coming from a store..I inspected it to be a convenience Store and to my surprise it was..I swifted towards the shop and paused at the entrance finding the truly common name of the store I smirked..it was "24x7 Convenience store".

I entered pushing the actually heavy glass door inwards and found a delightful peace..I assumed there was someone sleeping on the counter so I stepped forward..
A young girl with closed doubled lid eyes, rounded eye brows and comforting smile was sleeping on a book..she had a small button nose with glowing cheeks partially covered by her messy hairs on her oval face..
I suspected her to be a college student..she was sitting crossed legged on her chair wearing a blue baggy rough T-shirts supported herself with her arms around her book on the counter and her pen placed still in her fingers at her soft hands..
For a minute I was standing still looking at her face which seems to be tired and pages of her book flickering continuosly..
