16 A Date With A Stranger(2)

Anna grabbed the phone number and then shoved the money and note into her pocket, "Mr.Jacob, I assure you that I will contact you and return back the money to you. Once again, Thanks for your kindness. I need to head back home. Bye bye!"

"A Call?! Certainly!!! I am looking forward to. By the way, thanks for the DATE, I enjoyed it pretty much." He then winked at her, making her standstill in the place and her mouth hung wide open with a shock.

'A Date?! What the heck! How on earth this is called a 'date', Only thing I didn't do is beat the hell out of him, Not that I don't want to but just, he is too strong for me to take him down.'

'Shane! Where are you?! It's supposed to be you who I wanted to spend time with. This day is supposed to be our first day out together but how did I end up with this alien creature with strange unknown literature of his own.'

"Mister! You are… you are…" She couldn't find a word; she was so burned by his last statement. 'Calm down girl! calm down! he is messing with you again, this man got lots of stuff under his sleeve. It is better to leave than argue.'

"Please stop messing around. I have to go, Bye! " Saying so, she started walking away from him without batting a second look.

Smiling at her departing frame, he rose up from his seat feeling so reluctant to let her go, he moved forward and started following her silently from a distance. One could say he is stalking but to him, he simply wanted to make sure that she leaves this place safe with no harm done.

Anna who was lost in her shrieking thoughts reached her final destination to catch a cab. The whole place is overly crowded. She looked around with the last sliver hope of finding her companion. With eyes welling up, she started walking forward, 'Shane! Where are you? Where are you?'

There is a saying that, 'The one who we love the most can inject the pain the most'. How true it is!

The wind was chilly, Her face was turning pale every passing minute. She squeezed her shoulders with her own palms tightly. Feeling so lonely and dejected at that moment; She walked ahead absent-mindedly.

"Hey pussycat, Watch where you ar goin..." A guy with a long sturdy hair pulled up in a ponytail stopped Anna.

Another Guy jumped down from the jeep, "Want a drive? come to papa… I will take you home, you decide the place. hahahaaa...."

Gang of guys who were teasing around, now eyed at the lonely girl as their new prey.

Jacob who was trailing behind her at a safe distance noticed that she was being harassed. Those pack of wolves was anticipating an attack to launch at her; The place was still crowded for them to advance further.

Jacob looked around and found a mid-aged man unlocking his second-hand Chevrolet car. Without a second thought, Jacob moved forward and tossed his roadster sports car keys to the man and signaled his assistant behind to take care. The man who caught the keys looked at it with an awestruck.

Jacob then snatched the car keys from the Chevrolet car owner's hand and squeezed himself into the uncomfortable second-hand car and sped his wheels to catch up Anna.
