What A Small World !!!

Finally the flight was landed in Shanghai. This was her First visit to China. Niha Bharadwaj doesn't know Chinese but she is good in English. She can manage to live at any place in the world with her good communication skills.

She bought a new mobile and a sim card. She don't wanted to stay in Shanghai. Because the expenses in Shanghai City are too high. So , she planned to move to another city.

She searched about the cities in china and choose ' S City ' which is one of the richest cities in china. But the expenses are low when compared to Shanghai City. Besides it has the best resources and also it has good demand for IT graduates.

So it is easy for her to get a good job. Furthermore it is difficult to find her in this city , Because no one can expect that she is living in this city. She thought this is the best choice. Therefore she decided to live in this city.

She was new to this culture. Niha Bharadwaj took a Rail Bus and went to the ' S City '. Her First and foremost work is to search a good dwelling to stay. Ofcourse it is difficult for her to search a good residence in such a short time. Therefore , she has decided to stay in an inn for a few days until she finds a good apartment to stay. It's around Nine in the morning when she arrived in ' S City '.

She looked around for an hour and in the end she found a Three star hotel. She booked a room in the hotel. It's not a luxury room but it was convenient to stay for a few days. She took a shower and ordered some food . After having lunch, she took a small Nap. She woke up at Six in the evening and went outside to wander around. The Night view of ' S City ' was looking dazzling with the city lights.

After wandering for an hour , Niha Bharadwaj was started to go back to the hotel. While she was going back to her room , three bag snatchers started following her. They're looking tall with strong physique , while running away from them Niha Bharadwaj bumped into a Man.

She hide behind the man. When the three snatchers saw the man , they were frightened and ran away from that place. Niha Bharadwaj took a deep breath and said thanks to that man. The man turned around and saw Niha Bharadwaj.

The man exclaimed with a surprise " Ohh my , it's you !! ".

Niha Bharadwaj also surprised after seeing the Man's face. He is none other than the Cop (Delun Chen) that rescued Niha Bharadwaj from the gangsters in Newyork.

Niha Bharadwaj gave a gentle smile and said " Yeah , Ohh my god , what a small world!! Once again thank you Officer ".

Delun Chen smiled and said " Haha , it's ok. I never imagined I would meet you here. By the way what are you doing here ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj lowered her head and her face became gloomy.

Delun Chen understood that something was wrong. So he said " Hmm , Leave it. Have you had your dinner ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj still didn't raise her head. But She replied " No , Not yet ".

Delun Chen smiled and said " Ok , let's grab dinner together " .

Niha Bharadwaj raised her head and said " No , no thanks. I'm on my way to my room ".

Delun Chen said " It's ok , After having our dinner , I'll send you off to your place ".

Niha Bharadwaj was trying to ignore but Delun Chen was insisted. So she finally gave up and agreed to go with him. Delun Chen drove his car to the nearest multi cuisine restaurant. They choose a table near to the window. Delun Chen ordered some Chinese cuisines for him and some indian cuisines for Niha Bharadwaj. It will take about twenty minutes to cook their food.

" Mmm, your name is Niha right ? " Delun Chen asked Niha.

Niha Bharadwaj replied " Wow , you have a good memory " .

Delun Chen said " Haha , Thank you ".

Niha Bharadwaj asked " By the way , what is your good name ? ".

Delun Chen replied " I'm Delun Chen , You can call me Delun ".

Niha Bharadwaj smiled and said " Ok officer Delun ".

Delun Chen laughed and asked " Do you know how to speak Chinese ? ".

" No , I don't " Niha Bharadwaj replied.

Delun Chen said " If you don't mind. Can I ask you a question ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj nodded her head.

Delun Chen asked " You are from india. You studied in Newyork. But , What are you doing here ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj lowered her head.

Delun Chen said " If you don't wanted to answer. It's ok. Just Forget about it ".

Niha Bharadwaj raised her head and said " Yeah , I'm from India. After completing my graduation in newyork , I went to my home. But... ".

Niha Bharadwaj stopped taking then Delun Chen asked " But , What happened next ? ".

" But, My dad arranged my marriage with someone. I don't wanted to marry early. So I ran away from my home " Niha Bharadwaj said with a Sullen face.

Delun Chen laughed out loud after hearing Niha's story. Niha Bharadwaj said " Don't laugh at me ".

Delun Chen drank some water and said " Ok , okay. I don't laugh at you. But why did you come to China instead of being in india ".

Niha Bharadwaj replied " My dad has a strong network in india. It's just a piece of cake for them to catch me in India. That's why I left india ".

Delun Chen thought for a second and asked " Do you think it's difficult for them to find you here ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj replied " I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that they cannot find me so quickly. In that way, I will be safe for a few months ".

Delun asked asked " How could you ensure that ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj said " Because, I manipulated them. So they must think that i was hiding somewhere in Delhi. So they keep searching for me in delhi ".

" Wow , you are a genius " Delun Chen smiled and praised her.

Niha Bharadwaj asked " By the way, what are you doing here ? ".

Delun Chen said " This is my hometown ".

Niha Bharadwaj asked " Ohh, so ,you are a cop from China. Then why did you come to newyork ? ".

Delun Chen replied " A small work. it's a secret. I can't tell you ".

Niha Bharadwaj widened her eyes. The order arrived while they were laughing. Delun Chen said " Okay, let's dig in ".

They finished their dinner. When Niha Bharadwaj was about to pay the cheque , Delun Chen stopped her. He paid the bill and said " Keep your money for your expenses. It's my treat ".

Niha Bharadwaj smiled and said " If there is a next time. It's my treat ".

Delun Chen said okay and then they left the restaurant. After got in the car Delun Chen " Where do you live ? ".

Niha Bharadwaj replied " I'm staying in a

hotel ".

" What !! "Delun Chen exclaimed.

Niha Bharadwaj smiled and said " Yeah , I came here today. Also I'm new here. So I decided to stay in an inn until I found a good apartment to live ".

Delun Chen said " Ohh , ok. I'll help you in searching a good house ".

Niha Bharadwaj said " No thanks. I don't want to trouble you anymore ".

Delun Chen smiled and said " Haha, It's nothing. It is difficult to find a good apartment in this city. That too you are new to here and also you are a single and a beautiful girl. Others will take advantage of you ".

Niha Bharadwaj said " Thanks for your generosity officer Delun " .

Delun Chen gave a tender smile and said " Rest assured. Now tell me the hotel name ".

Niha Bharadwaj said " Wonder Hill Inn ".

Delun Chen stared at Niha Bharadwaj and shouted " What !!! ".
