Unfortunate Luck

Rays of Hope

She was a really beautiful and elegant young lady so she had learned judo for her protection. Next morning she woke up and as usual got ready for her work. She usually used to skip the breakfast and today was no different. Her day in the office was same as it normally used to be but due to some extra work she asked her friend to leave without her. It was around nine when she left her office, she had to walk to the bus stand which was quite a long distance so she took out her headphones and started listening to music. As she walked through an empty street, she bumped into the eve teasers. First she tried to ignore them to peacefully get back home.

“Hey, you beautiful young lady don’t ignore us and let’s have some fun, we will make you quite happy.” One of the called coming closer but Lisa kept walking quietly until she was stopped by one holding her hand that was when she turned back to give a death stare. Her death stare did scare  that person but he did not let go of her hand so she twisted his hand releasing her own and then she punched him in his stomach followed by an elbow in his back, leaving him injured on the floor and in a few more minutes she injured the other two. When she turned to leave she was hit in her head, she felt numb for a few seconds the turned back hit the person in his neck rendering him unconscious. With the feeling of dizziness she managed to walk till the main road and then suddenly crashed on the floor in front of a car.

The driver pulled the breaks in time not to hit the person outside the she quickly came out of the car. Lisa was not hit badly so she decided to take Lisa home with her and called the doctor to reach there in time too.

“Is she fine doctor, I found her unconscious on the road.”

“She is fine luckily she was not hit badly, she will wake up soon and some rest will make her feel better take care of her for a day.”

“Yes I will, thank you doctor.” Then she accompanied the doctor to the door.

After an hour Lisa woke up to find herself in a strange place but before she could get up Christen came in with a cup of warm milk. Placing it on the side table she forced Lisa in the bed “You should have some rest, you can go back tomorrow.”

“Thank you for bringing me here or today I would have been dead.”

Christen smiled “Don’t worry, but I want to know how you ended up collapsing in front of my car. I am Christen black and what is your name?”

“I am Lisa Baker.” Then she told her about what happened after listening to Lisa’s story she was impressed and asked her for teaching those skills once she gets better. Lisa promised to teach her how to fight then Christen left the room, switched off the lights and asked her to rest.

Next morning Lisa woke up early feeling energetic. She took a bath and went outside to see that christen was not yet awake. She thought of cooking a meal for her as a vow of thanks so she went to the kitchen prepared the breakfast and set the table.

Lisa was up by then, mesmerized by the odor of the food she came down to the kitchen to see the delicious food on the table.

“O my god! You made all this food, it looks delicious.”

“Come on have it, it is to thank you for saving me last night.”

Christen sat on the table, Lisa served her and then they began to eat.

“Mmm, amazing! You have magic in your hands. Where did you learn all this? You can fight and also cook such delicious food. You are amazing.”

“I learned this from my father, he was a perfect cook.” Lisa replied blushing.

“Why don’t you become a chef in some restaurant? You could be hired by anyone with these amazing skills.”

“I have tried it but I do not have any past experience so nobody would like to hire me.”

“I understand and I would say that you ended up at right place maybe I can help you.” Christen smiled warmly at her.

Lisa was excited but she had to be polite “Thanks but I have already troubled you a lot.”

“I would be so happy to get this kind of food daily so you won’t be troubling me at all. My brother is the owner of a restaurant so I will ask him to hire you.”

“Thank you so much, I would really appreciate that.” She smiled looking at her watch she spoke again “I should get going, I am getting late for work.” Saying this she got up to leave and Christen followed her to the door.
