"Let's say, I want to pay for all the people coming to your store to eat food for free. How much do I have to pay you?", Alex asked.

"That's a lot… let me see … maybe around 20 thousand.", the shopkeeper replied.

"Here is Rs 25 thousand. Let's get started.", Alex gave him the money and waited. The shopkeeper got excited and shouted.

"That's the deal then.", the shopkeeper replied.

People quickly found out that it is free today so they started to gather around. Alex watched it from the side and smiled at the crowd. More and more people started to gather so Alex slowly went away without notifying anyone. He just stroll around the places and observed the things around him. This part of the city is quite chaotic indeed. The people are busy on their own and nobody cares about nobody.

When he was walking around the place, he saw a boy weeping around the area. He observed him for a second, there was something wrong with him. He went beside him and looked at the boy.

"What happen brother?", Alex asked.

"I got my purse stolen. I am doomed.", the boy replied.

"How did it happen?", Alex asked.

"I was on the bus but when I got off, my purse was gone.", the boy replied.

"What was in your purse?", Alex asked.

"Mostly my money and some papers.", the boy replied.

"Oh. So what is your actual problem now?", Alex asked.

"I have to go to my home which is quite far but I don't have any money now. What should I do.", the boy replied.

"How much money did you have in your purse?", Alex asked.

"Around 1000 rupees.", the boy replied.

"Don't worry, take this Rs 2000 and go home.", Alex gave him money.

"Ahh… thank you. I don't need that much money though.", the boy replied.

"Don't worry about it. Take it and go to your home.", Alex walked away while the boy was dazed.

Alex took a taxi and went towards a secluded place which was in a hill area. It was a quiet place for the people who wants to calm their minds. Many people are sitting on the grass and just enjoying the view. He also sat down in one open place and enjoyed the scenery. Although the place was not at much height, he can see all of the city from that place. Alex was enjoying the view but was disturbed again.

"Sir do you want chips, cold drinks? ", the vendor asked while carrying a mobile carrier.

"Ahh… it's you again. How much for all of these?", Alex asked.

"I did not get it sir.", the vendor asked.

"I will pay you for all of the things you have here and I want you to distribute them to all the people around here for free, so how much is it?", Alex asked.

"Ahh.. let me see… may be around 4000.", the vendor came up with it.

"Deal. Take this money and distribute it to all the people.", Alex gave Rs 5000 to him, take one packet of chips and shoo him away.

The vendor started to distribute the things around the area for free. The people will get socked and sometime later the vendor will point towards Alex. After the vendor finished his part of the bargain, he vanished from there and Alex enjoyed the same peaceful atmosphere. He was bored pretty soon, he got up and headed downwards while walking. The walk was also exercising for him and it was quite easy for him. While he was walking, a bike stopped in front of him and a girl smiled at him. He just casually walk forward.

"Where are you going? I could give you a lift.", she asked.

"It's ok. I am used to walking.", Alex said nonchalantly.

"I am not a bad girl sir. I can give you a ride.", she was persistent.

"Thank you very much and I must tell you, I have wives.", Alex teased.

"What wives? How many?", she got curious.

"Too many. Do you want to be one too?", Alex teased.

"Not interested. Will you go with me or not?", she asked.

"Okay. Let's go then.", Alex gets on her bike. She drove her bike downhill.

"By the way, I am Prema. What's yours?", she asked.

"I am called Alex. Nice to meet you Prema.", Alex replied.

"Why were you walking before?", Prema asked.

"I was searching for my 12th bride.", Alex teased.
