Her Mysterious Saviour

Mumbai, India :

It's a usual morning where the whole city of Mumbai is rushing to cope up with the busy world. Children are moving inside their school bus busy planning their mischievous works chirpily whereas adults are running for their respective jobs stuffing bread in their mouth while driving, getting no time to have a peaceful breakfast.

Nature is busy in enjoying the state of every human whose speed is not less than some rocket who doesn't even have a second to act as a person instead of robots. Out of all these the king of the morning scowled at a woman who was still busy in her deep slumber. In order to remind its presence the sun peeked it's rays inside the curtain and caressed her face to wake her up from her sleep. 

The woman frowned, scrunching her eyebrows feeling the rays and blinked her eyes before opening it properly. She yawned, stretching her hands and leaned on the headrest. She looked beside her and wondered, seeing no signs of her husband over there. Her eyes roamed over their beautiful room and finally landed on the round wall clock which reminded that she was already late. She gasped realising the time and took the alarm placed on the bed side table. She frowned seeing it off as she had set it to wake her up early in the morning.

"Hey Sweetheart, invite your morning coffee with a smile".

Her chain of thoughts got broken hearing her husband's gentle and love filled voice. He sat opposite to her holding a cup of hot coffee with a delicious smell hitting her nostrils urging her mouth to gulp the whole of it as soon as possible. 

"Hey Honey, I think it's my daily routine  right?". She took the cup from him.

"So what? Is there any rule written that a husband shouldn't serve a cup of coffee to his wife?". Asked Aariz, raising his brows.

She moaned having a sip and closed her eyes, relishing it's taste.

"Aariz, I love your hand made coffee. It makes my day".

She said taking another sip brought a wide smile to his face. He moved closer and pecked her lips to gain the same in return. 

"It's you who turned off the alarm, isn't it?". Asked Evana narrowing her eyes.

"Of course Honey, did you leave me with any other option? The previous night you came all exhausted from your work and didn't even acknowledge my request to rise a little bit late today. So, without having any other choice I need to opt this method".

Evana hugged Aariz after hearing this and told.

"You are making me lazy Honey. What about my work?".

"It won't run away anywhere from you because the profession named beautician will be adored with real beauty only if it stays in your hands".

"I love you". She snuggled more to him.

"I love you too Evana, now you go and take a bath till then I will prepare your breakfast".

Saying this he took an empty cup from her hand and walked out of the room. 

Evana descended the stairs adjusting her wrist watch and went towards the dining table on which her husband already placed their breakfast. The both had their food accompanied with their all time pleasant talks and decided to meet at a restaurant for dinner. 

"By the way Aariz, when are you planning to design our own house".

He looked at her for a second and smiled before answering.

"Very soon darling".

"You find fun in the work of architecture right? I mean it's quite cool".

He just nodded his head in response and continued to have his breakfast.The both departed for their respective works in their cars. Evana is driving her new chocolate brown Renault Duster enjoying music from the CD player while humming the same. 

She moved her head forward seeing a familiar woman waving hands at her car as asking for a lift. Evana stopped the car and greeted the lady with a pleasant smile.

"Hey Aunt Rose, how are you doing?".

The lady looked at her for a second and said.

"Hello my child. I'm fine and thank you. But please pardon me as I'm unable to remember you". Told Mrs.Rose with a small smile playing on her lips.

"Oh that's all right Aunt Rose.And coming to me, myself Mrs.Vyas. My husband and I visited your orphanage a couple of weeks ago. His name is Mr.Aariz Vyas".

"Oh yes child, now I got it. I'm sorry as I forgot you. I remember Aariz as he comes to our orphanage frequently. But I saw you for the first time itself two weeks ago". Said Mrs.Rose in apologetic tone.

"Uhh, that's alright. By the way, where are you going?

"Actually I'm going to my orphanage   but suddenly my car broke down and here I'm standing for some help". Said Mrs.Rose.

Opening the car door Evana told, "Come in Aunt Rose, I will drop you there".

Mrs.Rose got inside the car mumbling a quick thank you to Evana.

"I hope I'm not troubling you".

"Not at all. Anyways I have to cross the orphanage to reach my spa. So, no issues at all". She replied with a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"By the way how are kids at the orphanage?". Asked Evana looking at the road.

"They all are perfectly alright. What will be bothering them if kind hearted donors like you are there to look after their needs".

"Well pleasure is ours Aunt Rose. And please don't hesitate to call Aariz if you need anything. We will be paying a visit to the orphanage this weekend". Said Evana taking a U turn.

"That's so nice of you child".

The ride is a silent affair after that while Evana is the first one to break the numb atmosphere.

"Well Aunt Rose, would you prefer to listen to some soothing music".

She looked aside earning no reply from her only to see Mrs.Rose pressing her head with her fingers.

"Uhh, are you okay?".

"Yes but I'm feeling a bit of a headache. Will you mind if I take a small nap here?". She requested Evana pleading with her eyes.

"Why not? You take rest and don't worry, I will wake you up when we reach the orphanage".

Mrs.Rose relaxed herself on her seat, closing her eyes. She leaned on the windscreen and dozed off.

After ten minutes Evana stopped in front of the orphanage. She gently tapped Mrs.Rose's shoulder calling her name.

"Aunt Rose, here we reached the orphanage".

Seeing her still sleeping, she called a bit louder only to receive the same response. Huffing she turned her face towards her while calling.

"Aunt Rose, please wake up....

Her words halted in the middle forming a lump in her throat seeing the sight in front of her. Her eyes popped out while her whole form started to shiver profusely seeing blood oozing out from her mouth.
