Chapter 1

The night was frightened dark and it was heavy raining. In this awful darkened night his car moving forward on the scary narrow roads of these mountains. Hail was like hitting on the windows of the car. Due to heavy rainfall car lights were getting dim after a certain distance. He was driving his car very carefully it was impossible and very difficult for him to drive the car fast. He was worried because he was already late in this dark night.

He parked his car in the front yard of the hotel "snowland". There were few lights were on and the rest of the hotel was covered in dark. Rakhesh hastily opened the door of the car and come out. Slaps of Stormy wind was hitting his body hard. He immediately covered his body with his overcoat. And ran into the lobby of the hotel. He was fully drenched in rain water and running his fingers in his hair and combing them back from his forehead and reached in front of a counter. No one was there. 

"Is anybody there?" 

"Hello?"

He could hear the melody sound of rain on the windows that was showing rain is still in its wholeness. Despite of wearing overcoat he was feeling like a cold was running in his blood vessels. 

He turned towards the counter and started tapping his fingers on the counter table.

"hello.. Anyone?"

Meanwhile a young beautiful lady appears from behind the counter table. Rakesh went still on seeing her beauty, he was numb like he was cast by a spell. He was feeling like any magician spelled a magic to bring this fairy on earth that appeared all of sudden here out of nowhere. 

Her curly, shiny hair, hazy almond eyes, black shiny eye lashes, and dark Kajol in her eye line, her pink blushing cheeks, standing slim nose, juicy lips, there was a small mole on the left side of her lower lip, dimple on her right cheek, her slim neck, rounded contour mature breast, slim waist, her jersey fitted shirt was making her beauty more prominent. Rakesh was like totally lost in the world of beauty, allure, mojo and sensuality. 

She was a receptionist in a hotel who was sitting down and looking for any file in the drawer.

"How can I help you, Sir?"

Now anxiousness was ringing in his head and slowly the beauty spell was broken. He said in a little bit of nervousness.

"my name is Rakesh, one or two days back, I booked a room in your hotel."

"yes, but I am afraid to say now all rooms are occupied in this hotel"

Lady glanced him from top to toe, "I am really very, very sorry there is no room for you right now in this hotel" 

"but I had called you for reservation beforehand"

"Yes, but we did not send you any confirmation message that your room is reserved, actually due to unfavorable weather foreign country flights are cancelled for at least 3 days.

"Oho! For God sake please do something it will be impossible for me to leave out this hotel right at this time in this unfavorable weather"

"I am really very sorry I can't help you in this regard"

Rakesh looked outside the windows, there were no signs of rain to stop. He was sad, sadness were appearing on his face. Rakesh was attractive for any girl. His masculine body cuts and tempting and enticing personality was enough to snare anyone.

"There is a one way" Payal broke the ice.

"What's that?"

"It might possibly that some passengers will leave this place in the morning, I can add your name on the waiting list."

He nodded his head in yes.

In the hectic atmosphere, he stared at the wall clock. It was 12:30 midnight. Where he could go  at this time of night. He turned to the lady receptionist and ask her "if he could wait on that sofa if she won't mind. He would get a room in the morning."

"All night, in this freezing cold?"

"yes, it is the matter of 3 to 4 hours I will manage"

"Em.. As you please!"

She gave him permission half-heartedly. He thanked her and moved to that sofa and sat on it. Lady receptionist rang bell and second staff member walked into the room. He was wearing special uniforms of "hotel snowland", a white cap on which snowland was written and wearing a white tee shirt and black pants. 

"Your luggage?" lady receptionist turned to sculptured man sitting on that sofa. 

"In the cars back, " he gave his car keys to the worker.

"Go bring his baggages inside the hotel, " she ordered the worker. 

The employee went out to collect the bags and the receptionist got busy writing something on the register. Rakesh seeps into his thoughts and eagerly waiting for the morning so he can get a room. This solitude and await both were making this freezing cold much intense for him. He was lost in his thoughts and looking at the beauty icon standing behind the counter. His thoughts lead him to another aspect of thinking like the creator of the human is the greatest artist the way he sculptured this beautiful young lady having no illustration.

Then suddenly Rakesh stood up from the couch and walked near the counter and said, "excuse me.. Can I get a mug of coffee, please "?

"Sorry, our chef shut down the kitchen at 12 o clock"

Rakesh got sad and turned back to the Couch. Payal again got busy with the register.

Worker fetched his bags from the car and put them on the right side of the counter table. Then walked into an adjacent room for workers.

Rakesh started cracking his knuckles. Some time plans get flopped and nothing happens the way someone thought.

After sometime the same worker brought a mug of hot coffee for payal and put it on table.

She picked up a mug of coffee before she touch it with her lips, her eyes turned to the guy sitting on the couch who was shivering in this freezing cold. Human have a heart like a petal and sometimes like a stone for someone. She could not blessed her lips to touch of the coffee mug. She looked at Rakesh with warmth, picked the mug in her hands and walked towards him.

"Get some coffee, I see you are worried with this freezing cold."

"but it's for you"

"Its alright, we will share 50/50" with smile on her face.

Rakesh didn't say anything but have a merciful look in his eyes. Payal put half coffee in another cup placed on the table and get a half mug of coffee to Rakesh. 

Rakesh got a mug of coffee, "Thank you"

Rakesh was looking at her with a grin on her face, Payal instantly said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"oh, I was just thinking that how stranger can be so caring"

"oh, no worries, it is our duty to take care of our customers, it is our duty to put our customers at ease"

"but right now I am not your costumer"

"but you are on our waiting list at least, " she shifted the topic by saying,

"you won't be able to bear this freezing cold tonight"

"helplessness makes a person brave, and also increase its ability to bear challenges"

Payal impressed by his answer and said, "I can help you"

"how?"

"By giving you a room of the hotel's owner, she is out of town for tonight"

"Oh, it's wonderful I will be thankful to you for this kindness" he was happy.

"in the early morning we will shift you to another room"

Payal told her with caution, "but there is a condition, you have to keep it secret. No one should aware of this that you spent the night in the owner's room"

 Rakesh was happy, he was thinking how lucky he is, awhile ago, he was considering himself ill-fated. He was lost in his thoughts, Payal said lets go while she picked a key of the owner's room. 

Rakesh was following her towards the room. As they reached there she turned to key in the lock and opened the door. 

There was dark in the room. Payal turned on the lamp placed on the table. Rakesh was exploring the room in the dim light. There were artistic pieces in her room. Eastern and western paints hanging on the wall. Naked statue was placed on a table. Silky densely piled fabric with a plain back dark red colored curtain emitting more royal vibes.

There was a vase on the table with a bunch of red hot roses in vase. With light fragrance in the environment of room. 

The environment of this room and this lady diva who was radiating beauty inch by inch, her walk, her talk, her slim waist, rounded contour breast, her heavy hips, slightly showing cleavage. Everything in this place was making his emotions more striking. He was lost in his beautiful, warmth thoughts where he and lady Diva was making love, making each other more warmth, and making this night more beautiful and unforgettable. In some way he controlled his emotions. 

Payal turned to Rakesh and said,

" Hey, where have you lost, this is your room for tonight"

 He smiled at her.

"Em does she live here alone?.. I mean, where is her husband?"

"her husband has passed away, and she lives her life here in peace and in solitude and with me"

"With me??"

"Yes, she liked me the most" her eyes were shining. 

"I am very close to her, actually I am orphan I don't have parents, she brought me up and love me the way parents do."

Payal tried to finish this conversation and said, 

" you have to leave this room before morning."

"Yes, I remember."

"Don't forget it is secret between you and me"

"I promise, I won't be the reason for your embarrassment"

Payal smiled at her and before he could pay any kind of  gratitude she walked away from the room. 

Rakesh was standing still for a moment. His thoughts were still caught by her thoughts. 

He took off his overcoat and threw it carelessly on a chair. While losing his tie knot he Walked towards the window where he could see the storm outside. He was looking outside it was all dark and foggy night, but he could sense there was storm in this dark.  He felt like his all fatigue vanished away by the kindness of that beautiful lady who showed some  mercy upon him on this cold night.
