"Sister, can I take the Tulips for my Priya", the lady asked.

"Yeah, you can", I told her. The lady smiled took the Tulips and gave them to her daughter, Priya. The girl smiled at me.

After dropping them off at the bus stop. I noticed the time and it was already 8:00 PM. During this time the traffic in this town is a nuisance.

Meera's POV:

yeah, we travelled for nearly 45 minutes to reach the bus stop that too, to a nearby town.

The town my shop is in doesn't have a bus to their destination. So, I took them to the nearby town.

Now, I need to travel another 1 hour to reach the comfort of my bed.

Oh Meera, what do we do? I spoke to myself.

After travelling for nearly 1 hr, I reached my town and I grabbed the box which was placed outside of my shop. I began to drive to my destination.

Then, I saw my Arjun standing at the junction of the roads in his police uniform. His hair is messed up in a cute way like he runs his hands through it. Now, my miserable feelings are replaced by hundreds of fireworks.

My face has a big smile out of nowhere. While I was admiring my Arjun, someone stopped my scooter. Then, a figure colluded my line of vision.

I focused on the person who was in front of me. He is a policeman in his mid-twenties. He looks quite handsome not as much as my Arjun.

"Do you have a license?" he asked me. I showed him my license.

"So Meera, why are you carrying these amounts of bouquets at this time," he asked me with a scrutinizing gaze.

How does he know my name? Is he a stalker? 'No, dummy You just gave him the ID' my subconscious said.

I only love my Arjun in police uniform, but other than Arjun, I fear for the police. I saw the time on my watch and it was 9:10 PM.

"I am carrying them to my home sir", I replied confidently.

"oh, these many bouquets at this hour" he further enquired.

"Yes, sir. I own a bouquet shop. Its name is Sunshine and these bouquets weren't sold today, sir." I replied.

He is watching me intently. I didn't find him quite handsome like I said earlier. Fear crept through me.

I am suddenly feeling light-headed. I regained my composure.

"Naveen, check this box", he said. A policeman in his late 30s checked my box. He said something in his ear. The policeman who enquired about me gives a signal to others behind him.

"Sir, may I go to my __ ho_use, I need to work tomorrow and it's already late sir". I asked him.

"Why are you in a rush, just wait after we enquire about you we will send you home". He replied. A lady police came and ushered me to go with her.

I began to nervous and my anxiety got my best. My whole body begins to tremble. Another policeman took my scooter and the lady took my hand. I didn't know what to do.

"No, no___ No, I __ di_ didn_ didn't do an_ anY_ anything", I said.

Other policemen surrounded me. Then, I took a step back and my heel slipped, I began to fall backwards I was waiting for the impact.
