Chapter 1

「♡」shreya

"What are you talking about?"

"You understand quite well child. Make yourself available on the 21st by any means. You are going on that blind date and that's final. Your father went through great pains to set it up."

"Are you really serious right now- "

"Very.You better not mess it up with any of your shenanigans since it's a highly influential and prestigious family's son and to your liking I am sure. Love you."

"But-"

The beeping of a dead phone line resounds in her ears and she lets out an agitated shrill. She realised that her dad wasn't joking around.

"God, this is a good day to be April fools!1!1", she dramatically clutches her hair in her hands and swiftly moves her gaze to the clock in apprehension.

"And I'm late", She immediately fixes her straight long hair and rushes to check her perfect outfit in the mirror, just a slight touch up and once she collects her things she can leave for work as she was about to, a few minutes before her father's disastrous phone call had thrown her into an inner cacophony. When she approved of her hair strands as crisp as her pencil strokes on a good day, she was ready to leave.

The day was quite pleasant with a slight chill in the air. Shreya was walking on the pavement, preciously holding onto her art supplies and materials in her bag. She was an art teacher in a well known high school and a freelance fashion designer which was exemplified in her wardrobe choices.

It didn't take her too long to notice a small figure plodding about on the pavement, sobbing in an inaudible murmur. The young child looked about 6 and was clearly lost. Shreya couldn't just turn her back on a lost child and approached her with a sweet smile.

"Are you lost? Where's your mom?", she asked concerned and the girl shook her head.

"I don't know. I can't-can't find her", the girl said in a tired voice. Shreya patted her head and consoled her.

"Hey SHREYA !!WHAT YA DOING", a lovely and energetic voice boomed from behind her and she knew immediately who it was.

Kareena.

"Oh my god,who is that?? YOUR ILLEGITIMATE CHILD?!?", She fake screamed with her hands around her mouth. Kareena was really steadfast but with her bestfriend Shreya, she wouldn't hesitate to demonstrate the silly side of her. Both of them often met up on their way to work as every female leads should 'cause I'm the author of this story.

"ITS A LOST CHILD", she subtly rolled her eyes at her folly and attended to the child in front of her.

"Does she have any idea where she lives?", Kareena inquired.

"Do you know your address or perhaps your telephone number?", Shreya asked in a delicate voice but the child was too panicked and whimpering with small cries like the pitiful being it was.

"Let's get you to the police station."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Shreya reached the police station, she saw a police chief she had never encountered before. He was standing with his broad back faced to her and when he turned to face her, he briskly adjusted the cap on his head.
