CHAPTER 5
Love planted a rose
And the world turned sweet.
On reaching home, she took off her shoes and slumped down against her bed. She was in deep thought which got disturbed by the ringing of her phone.
The screen flashed 'Maria' .
She took the call.
"Scarlett, I hope I don't didn't disturb you . Were you sleeping?" She asked with that kind voice of hers.
"No,you didn't. I was awake." Scar replied tiredly.
"Oh, okay. I called to ask if you are free tomorrow. You know I planned to show you my bakery I just opened last month.
We can go there tomorrow in the morning around 11. Are u okay with that ? " Maria replied, telling her the reason she called and sort of anxious of her reply as she hoped Xander would meet her at the bakery.

She didn't realize when she dozed off looking at the stars with only one hope in heart, of miracle happening to help the children.
The next day, she was all ready in a dark green coloured boat neck dress. It had lace bell sleeves with black ribbon like border on it. Her make-up was minimal.
Kat was still sleeping. She left a note on the fridge telling her she's going out.
She had a day off from college today anyway.
The driver honked from outside and she rushed downstairs on seeing the black car. The whole ride she tried not...
