Holding a warm cup of tea, Grace slowly made her way on the terrace of her house. Taking a deep breath, she reveled for a moment in the fresh air of her small town, which was surrounded by nature. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to get lost in the moment, this was the way in which she used to start her day. By losing herself in the beauty of nature, she used to forget all the problems of her life.
Grace was 28 years old and the most beautiful girl in the small town. She had all the qualities which anyone would need in their wife but she always used to say a big NO to all the marriage proposals. Her parents were concerned about her because they were concerned about her as Grace was stressing too much to fulfill all the responsibilities of the family.
She was blessed with three younger sisters and one younger brother which her parents planned with the hope of having a son. As all the sisters started growing up, it was getting harder for her father to handle all the expenses of the house. That’s why she started working in the restaurant as a cook to support her family at an early age. She also helped her father in arranging funds for the marriage of two of her sisters.
The situation had just started to get better when her father was diagnosed with cancer, and her family needed a lot of money for her treatment. Now, she was the only one who used to work in the family.
.
.
Because of family reasons and a busy schedule, Grace never got a chance to fall in love with anyone. Also, she believed in getting married to that person with whom she would fall in love rather than an arranged marriage.
.
“Grace, it’s time for your breakfast”, The high—pitched call from her mother was like an alarm to her that she had to leave for the job. Her mother always used to remind her about the breakfast before 15 minutes because she knew her daughter well. Grace always used to forget to check the time when she used to spend her time on the terrace.
.
“I will be there in a minute, mom”, Grace shouted but she knew that she couldn’t make it before 15 minutes and quickly ran toward her room to complete her morning business.

After an hour
.
.
.
She reached the restaurant where she used to work. She greeted all her co—workers warmly and then walked directly to the kitchen. She found leftover food in the container and shook her head in disappointment.
.
‘I had asked Mason to feed these food to the stray animals.’, She thought and checked the food which was still in good condition. The food had to get wasted in any way that’s why she packed the food in the polybag and walked out of the restaurant to check the animals so that she could feed them.
.
‘And there they are.’, She thought and smiled. The moment a bunch of dogs saw her, they ran toward her happily. Well, why won’t they? She was the one who used to feed them on a regular basis.
“Boys, behave.”, She ordered sternly when they started fighting with one another for food. And all the dogs sat calmly like a good boy after all Grace was like their second mother. Grace had always been fond of dogs because they were the most loyal ones but she couldn’t own one because she couldn’t afford it.
She patted the heads of all the dogs like they were her pups and fed them the food which she had brought with her. Once they were done, they all started snuggling her legs and she started playing with them till the moment all the dogs started barking.
.
She looked confused and tried to calm them but they were furiously barking in a particular direction. She finally turned toward the direction in which the dogs were barking and saw four black cars with tinted windows standing straight from her, out of them one was damn so amazing. As she was not so good with cars
and so am I! haha
, she couldn't recognize the car’s name.
.
She continued to look at the car wondering what could be the reason they all are standing here and the realization hit her like a storm that they could be the customers who might have come here for breakfast or something.
She quickly walked inside the restaurant to prepare food. After all, she was the head cook of the restaurant but contrary to her assumption all the four cars moved out of that place without having breakfast.
.
‘Stupid rich people! If they didn’t want to have anything then why did they even stop their car here?’, She thought but she couldn’t guess that something else could also be the reason. “But I must admit that the car was awesome. I wonder how much anyone has to earn to have a car like that? I wish I could have also had one.’, She thought but then kicked that thought away from her mind because there was no way in her life she could be eligible to sit in the car like that.
