Author pov:

A flurry of rain stung his face when he opened the car window.Cold rain was beating down on his windshield. The sky was leaden. The wind was icy and withering.

Raindrops are pouring on his expensive suit but he didn't care a little. His focus was fixed to a little human who was roaming in the street carrying a flower basket.

The little creature was going to every car and gesturing something. He noticed she can't talk.He assumed that she was asking them to buy flowers. but nobody gave a glance to her. He can see how much depressed the little human was.Azrail observed the girl.She is wearing a blue torn frog. Her foot is bare. Her small body wrapped in a plastic raincoat which is torn from many sides. She was shivering in cold.Her tiny knees has many scratch but she was still going from one car to another.He was waiting  for the girl to come to him so that he could talk to her.Don't know why Azrail feel a urge to talk to her.It's funny but he felt a little pang on his heart seeing the small girl in this condition. Something was stopping him from there. He saw the girl coming to his direction.He was beyond mesmerised to see her face specially her eyes.Her Hazel eyes are looking so beautiful. It reminds him about someone.The person also has the same kind of eyes.But one thing is different, the girl hazel eyes are innocent and naive whether the person's eyes are sharp and intimidating.

Within a moment the girl stood in front of his car.She raised her little hand and gestured her flower basket.He saw how she was gesturing that the flower is really pretty and requested him to buy it.Her Hazel eyes are glistening with hope. 

"How much?" He asked with his deep voice.His face is blank . 

The little girl gulped hard.He can see she is sacred by him. 

"I asked how much this flowers are. Tell me the price so I could buy it" This time he asked her with a little soft voice. Azrail himself was surprised hearing him.Accpet Cynthia he never been soft with anyone. But for some reason he didn't want to be harsh on that little girl.He didn't like how she feared him. 

The girl felt a little relieved. She raises her tiny hand and shows her 3 fingers.

"It's 30 dollars"He asked her and about to grab his wallet but stopped when a soft touch on his hand. 

He turned back and saw her little hand on his fingers.She immediately backed off her hand when she felt his gaze on her. 

Azrail saw how her face lost all colours . She was shaking in fear. It seems like she will faint at any time. 

" What happened?Do you want to say something?"Azrail asked her, being as soft as he can.

"It's 3 dollars " She gestured and looked at him with her hazel eyes, perhaps trying to find out if he really understood her. 

"Where did you live?'' The man caught the girl asking such a question.

The girl looks at him like he has grown two horns on his head.

She shook her head.Azrail understood she has no home. 

" Do you live on the street? "He asked her and as he expected she nodded her head.

" Who asked you to buy flowers?"He asked her with a determined tone.

He saw how her face expression change with a horror one.She was looking at a distance. Azrail looked at the way she was looking and found two beggars were looking at her direction

Azrail immediately opened the car door and got up.He gestured his driver to something and he nodded his head. He also got up and stayed beside the petite figure who was shaking terribly.
