Chapter 10

Ashmi was getting ready for her day to which she follows a routine. She felt rather uneasy if she didnt stick to it, always thinking that she missed something, and wasting her time trying to recollect the missing link. So as she was going through her days routine, one being reading the paper, she came across in the "Personal Message" section a message. Now she never missed that section since cute love messages were always posted on it by some overtly expressive husband or boyfriend for his love or vice versa. And usually the message use to be a cryptic one. So it made an interesting read and a good start for the day.

But this message was different and to top it all, it was addressed to someone of her name, it read " To Ashmi, My Angel in disguise, I dont know if you would ever read this message but if my luck is still shining and you happened to read, then please contact me. I may sound like a desperate guy but believe me seeing you once is all I have in my mind, rest is upto you. Sammy."

Ashmi was shaken a bit by the last word she had read..did it say Sammy? Now why would this guy do this for me? What was his motive? Nah! she thought this must be for someone else, am just mistaken. Who would bother about such a thing? And she had heard he was a big executive in some multinational bank and loaded with money so why would he bother with a person like me? She must have definitely mistaken. She wanted to let the matter go but her mind was still occupied with the message.

She latter decided to show the message to Asben and ask him what he could make out of this. So that night when Asben was back home she showed him the paper. His jaw dropped and he muttered something like "Call him" . She asked him was it a wise choice, what if this was some kind of joke or may be a trap, considering what that guy had gone through a month back. Asben understood her anxiety. He offered to make that call for her. She somehow agreed since Asben was always pushy about things that had him exicted and had his ways to get it done.

She now was rummaging through the loads of paper in her drawer to get that letter out that Sammy had sent her, She found it and gave it Asben who dialled the number. It was ringing for a while. And just as Asben was about to hang up and there was a click and a "Hello" at the other end.
