On the other side, Katherine sat on the bed, leaning on the headboard whereas Little Sam was sleeping on her lap peacefully.

" Katherine…." She heard Ardian's voice suddenly and opened her eyes with a jerk.

She realized it was her hallucination. She knew that he would never see her face or talk with her with love again in his life because she lost that right long back.

She closed her eyes and visualized his smiling face. Still, she remembered their first meeting on a rainy night.

She met him for the first time when her car broke down in the middle of the way to her house. And he stopped his bike to help them but she didn't want him to help as she was enjoying the rain and cool breezes. 

Finally, she succeeded in her plan as he refused to help them but she had to go with him on his bike due to her old uncle. As she wanted to enjoy drenching in the rain, she was excited to go with Ardian.  And a few minutes later, she requested to stop the bike as she wanted to play in the rain for some time. 

She got down from the bike and started enjoying the rain, forgetting about her surroundings, especially Ardian's presence. All of the sudden, she stopped playing as she sensed a car approaching by the lights of the vehicles. She looked at Ardian who was already staring at her from the far. He was on one side of the road and she was on the other side of the road. Suddenly that car stopped between them. A man who was in a drunken state got down from the car and walked towards her. 

She was scared with his gaze and gulped her saliva in the throat. She took her steps to move away from him then she bumped into the hard object. She turned her head and found Ardian standing behind her. She quickly ran behind him and fisted his shirt at his back.

" Will you share your girlfriend tonight? " The man asked Ardian, looking at Katherine with lust.

Ardian gave four strong punches on his face for which he fell on the ground with the loud hissing noise. 

" Thank you." She said in a low voice while hiding her face on his back.

Instantly he twirled towards her and said, " It's okay".

She raised her head and looked into his ocean blue eyes. She was so attracted to his eyes. They both are so close to each other. He gave his coat to cover his body properly. Then she realized that her clothes were glued like another skin and revealed her body curves. She quickly covered her upper body with his coat. She felt so embarrassed. 

Suddenly she realized the man who stood up from the ground, moving towards him whereas Ardian's back was facing that man.

" He is back…." She screamed with fear while looking in that direction.

He held her hand and hurriedly walked towards his bike. 

" Better if we leave this place. Come on ...hop the bike. " Ardian said and started the engine of the bike.

She nodded her head and quickly hopped on his bike. She was scared that she clung to him without her knowledge from behind. After a while, he asked her house number and street as they were near to her address.

She moved away and informed her street and house number.

At last, he found the house number and stopped his bike. She got down from his bike.

" Thank you for everything." She said, lowering her head.

" Everything?" He asked her.

" Hmmm...for hiding the truth of car repair, giving me the lift up to my house and saving me from that man," She said to him.

" It will be a pleasure if I get a chance to drop you again" with a bright smile on his lips.

She doesn't understand what to answer him. So she ran inside the house with a shy smile. But the innocent girl doesn't know that she was taking his heart along with her.

She quickly went to her room and changed into her pajamas and started drying her hair with a hair blower.

" Whose coat is this?" Her Aunt Lisa questioned her.

" Hmmm...the person who dropped me on his bike. " She replied to her Aunt.

" Dropped you on his bike!" She asked with surprise.

" Yup. Our car broke down. So ...I came here thinking you will be worried about me…." She said to avoid further questions.

" But what if your father came to know?" She asked Katherine.

" Will you tell my father?" Katherine asked her.

" No….but ...what ...if " ...Katherine cut off in the middle and said no one will know about it.

" Can you please bring a vegetable soup? " She changed the topic cleverly. 

Why not ...she is a student of business management. She knows how to manage people with words.

After her Aunt left her room. She took that coat of Ardian and dried it on the balcony. 

….

….

Remembering Ardian's coat, Katherine opened her eyes and walked towards the wardrobe where she stored his belongings carefully. She took his coat and wore it. She felt so secure when his coat wrapped around her body.

" I am missing you...Ardian," she whispered looking at the coat.

On the other side, Katherine sat on the bed, leaning on the headboard whereas Little Sam was sleeping on her lap peacefully.

" Katherine…." She heard Ardian's voice suddenly and opened her eyes with a jerk.
