Destined to be

chapter 5

Steven: "Why don't you come with me?"

Emily: "What? I am not going anywhere with a stranger."

Steven: "The man you trusted your entire life became a stranger in a few minutes so now try trusting a stranger. Maybe he will be able to gain your trust. Moreover, you don't seem to have a place to go and you have a baby. Do you think she will be able to survive the cold?"

Emily: "Why do you want to help me?"

Steven: "A few months back I met with an accident on the highway. Many cars crossed me but none stopped to help me. I thought that I would die but then a stranger helped me, he took me to the hospital and saved my life. The doctors said that the stranger brought me here at the right time, had he not, I would have died on a lonely highway, alone. I don't even know who the man was. I owe my life to that

man. I know you are alone and broken. I don't want to be one of those people who just crossed you even on knowing that you are in need of help. That's why I want to help you. Consider I am trying to repay that

man's kindness. Stay with me till your health improves and you find yourself and your daughter a safe

shelter. Trust me."

Emily: "Ok, thank you."

Emily tries to get up but her legs are not able to hold her body weight.

Steven: "Hold the baby tightly, I will carry you."

Steven carried Emily to his car and drove towards his home.
