Hayley was not a person of much words, in reality she was very talkative person but it matter of time with her, with time she open up to people but once she was comfortable around someone you could not stop her from talking that much she knew about herself. That night she was meeting these people for the first time so she only watched them and just observed because she knew that she had to spend lots of time with these people. She enjoyed her time there she didn't contribute much but she did enjoy their chats with each other. After a while they all decided to call it a day. First Keith drop Ginny home and then he and Keith return home. Before, Hayley could enter her room Keith stopped her by calling her name she turned around to look at him and when he knew that she was listening to him he told her "tomorrow you can go to check Aaron's apartment and Ginny and Caleb will accompany you." After hearing that Caleb will accompany them Hayley looked at him with puzzled look, Ginny she can understand but why Caleb accompanying them. Seeing the questioning look Keith replied to her " I want to accompany you but I have an important meeting and Caleb will be a great help to you if you decided to look for another recommendation." After getting answer of her questions Hayley said goodnight to Keith and entered her room that night she slept peacefully after very long time.

Next day around noon she called Ginny and Ginny picked up the phone after a single ring. Ginny picked up the call she asked Hayley was she ready or not and also informed her that she and Caleb going to pick her up in half an hour. After getting to know that she only had half an hour Hayley hurriedly get dressed in simple blue denim and while shirt and tucked her hair in a ponytail although she like to let her hair loose but that day weather in city D was quite hot so she decided to wear her hair in a ponytail and after applying a little bit of make-up and she was good to go. When she came out from her room she realized that except servants there was n.o.body home when she looked at the watch in her hand she realized that it was twelve in the noon so Keith must be in his office having that important meeting and Sarah aunty might be gone for her daily spiritual cla.s.ses session. She was in her thought when she heard Ginny calling out her name as she entered the living room and there was a guy following behind her, smiling. She turned around and looked at the two people entering living room area, she smiled at them and after exchanging pleasantries three of them sets out towards the apartment and when they reached the apartment and entered the place, Hayley like the vibe that she feel in that apartment. Apartment located in a eighteen floors building and it was on ninth floor neither too high and neither too low and interior of the house was light shades and very calming. Hayley instantly like the apartment so when Ginny asked her about did she want to visit some other apartment she refused the offer because like this place. When that matter got settled three of them decide to have lunch and then head back home.

It was first day of her office , she was excited to get to the company and start the work. She was walking towards the bus stand as she come to know that the company was only two bus stop away from her house and only took her about five to ten minutes maximum to reach to work and that was the one of the reasons that she agreed to rent that apartment. She was standing in the bus stand still lost in her thoughts when she felt that someone s.n.a.t.c.hed something from her hands and she realized that two thieves riding on motorbike just s.n.a.t.c.hed her office bag from her hand and in that bag there is little bit of cash and all her important doc.u.ments was placed. She panicked and ran after them and cried at the top of lung but then another motorbike whizzed past her and what she saw next she couldn't believe her eyes. Another bike rider who whizzed pa.s.sed her just increased the speed and leveled it with the speed of those thieves bike and then he hold the one handle of his bike with one hand then and with another hand he just grabbed the shirt of the thief who was riding the bike and jerked him down toward him. it's more like what you see in movies, the car chase sequence in movie, at least that what feels it like to Hayley. It took her a while to register the fact that somebody actually pulled that thief down from the bike which caused the bike to dis-balance and both thieves fall flat on the road and that guy who make all that happen got off from his bike and take the bag which was falling little bit away from those thieves and he picked it up and walked towards Hayley . Hayley was transfixed but she was not just standing on the spot she was walking or either she could say kind of half walking and half running towards the man who was now approaching her with her bag in his hand. Snap out of it Hayley, her mind chided her and the moment she came back to her senses she was standing right in front of the man who just rescued her bag. That guy is still wearing his helmet so that all Hayley could saw some of his face and that was his eyes and nose, his eyes was dove like eyes and brown in color his nose is straight and pointed and he didn't said anything he just extended his hands which was holding her bag towards her. Hayley was out of her breath because she was running kind of. She was bending and trying to catch her breath when she saw him standing right in front of her she straightened up and then she caught a glimpse of his face which was just his eyes and nose. But still she could say that this man is handsome. What the h.e.l.l was she thinking, making statements about a stranger who just helped her. Then she saw him extending his hands towards and noticed her bag in his hand she took it wordlessly from him . She should thank him right but before she could say anything he beat her to that he asked " Are you alright?" his voice was so soothing and calm that it instantly put Hayley's mind at ease. She didn't felt like this before. She couldn't able to find her voice but she knew that she needed give this stranger a reply as he was waiting for one. Hayley just nodded her head as if saying yes I am alright and then stranger also nodded his head as if saying ok I understand and then he stride away from her. Hayley stay rooted at her place and then she suddenly shouted and said thank you that made that stranger stop in his tracks and he glanced over his shoulders and then nodded again and walked towards his motorbike. So there was still humanity left in this world, he kind of risked his life to help her. She felt a very warm feeling in her heart which she didn't felt in long time. A smile formed in Hayley's lip. Thank you Mr. Stranger for this feeling today.
