~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Days passed....Sudeshna insisted her brothers to stay in her house for more months and Alok also wants his brother-in-laws to stay for extending their business here. Here Supratha is also delaying her departure giving lame excuse. Everyone decided to stay in America for 1 more month for the business purpose. While Tishmoy and Trima joint the same school as Jaisy where they got scholarships. As foreigners need to get entry in this school through scholarships. Jaisy was to happy to hear this but didn't express her happiness openly.

Here Triya also got chance in her master's in New York only along with Tiya and Meghla. Rashi was crying from that day only as her babies will be living here away from them in New York but Shubhankar was happy as Shubha's children will stay away from him. He can't let his brother destroy their innocence by his rudeness. Subha was annoyed as now his dada is spoiling his children with money.

Triya didn't heard anything from Jason anything from the day of Rakshabandhan and slowly slowly started concentrating on her studies.

So today she decided to roam around the city for her shopping....after all she needs more clothes for her University where she will be doing her master's along with her cousin and best friend.

Earlier also Triya visited New York during various occasions at her pimani's house so it is not difficult for her to do shopping for her college and Tiya and Meghla both are suffering from mild fever so it is only Triya who is going on a shopping trip.

At evening when she was about to go out for shopping....that time only her Dadabhai Triraag stopped her and gave her his credit card and blackmailed her emotionally to do her shopping via this credit card only. Triya sighed in defeat and accepted it.

(Triya's outfit)

She went to a near by mall for her shopping....she has a long list of requirements.....bag, earings etc. She first entered inside a shop which sells bags....a girl of about 25 greeted her...."Hello! ma'am, what you like to see?" Triya smiled and replied...."Actually I was looking for casual bags...you what I mean....like college bags." The girl nodded and gestured with hands to follow her. The girl took Triya in casuals section to show her the collection...."Ma'am these bags will suit you....it's beautiful you know."

Triya started choosing bags for her with the help of the girl who seems to be an employee of this shop.

After 2 hours....

Triya pov:

Finally I chose my bags for me....I want to look presentable everyday you know.

Soon I chose some casual wears for me....five tops, three jeans, six pairs of shoes....notebooks, pens etc etc. After I got tired I went towards the food court to have some food. I ordered one cheese chicken pizza with coke and started eating my meal...mmmm! Oh God why pizza have to be so tasty.....that's why I love Italian people as they have invented the best thing in the world...that is pizza. How come they come up with this idea and we Indians can't...? Sometimes I wonder. Well Ms Triya because we Indians were not aware of this cheese....may be we would have done something more innovative....how stupid I am. I was lost in world of my stupid thoughts but suddenly I heard a commotion coming from a store near by. I looked towards the source only to see a child is standing in front of a toy shop with her head hung low....with tears in his eyes while a woman around early thirties is shouting at him. One thing is clear that's not his mother.... because why would a mother shout at her child like that. I walked towards them where crowd was already gathered.

"You brat....you theif! How dare you....to steal toys from the shop? Huh
...you think I will not see you...huh? Wait I am calling police now only....you just wait...." the lady yelled at him. "Please ma'am don't do that...I was not stealing....I was just....I was just.... seeing.... please...." the child pleaded. I observed the kid....he is around 6 to 7 years old...or may be 8 years not more than that....my blood boiled. How can she talk with a child like that. When I moved my eyes towards the lady only to see a smirk on her face. Oh...so my dear lady loves to bully children....but today your luck is not with you my dear lady.... because Triya Dutta will make you suffer for you great stunt of bullying small kids. "I am calling police now only....brats like you deserve punishment....moreover you will pay for disturbing our customers with your little money you have in your pocket....now give me that money...." the lady yelled. That was the last straw she broke. "Wait!" I yelled. All the heads turned around me. I smirked at the lady who has a confused look on her face. I walked towards them and sat on my knees to reach the level of the kid...."Hello kid...will you tell me why this aunty was bullying you?" before the kid could open his mouth the lady interrupted...."Ma'am you can't...." "Shut up you low life, let me speak to him first" I cut her off looking directly into her eyes. I again turned towards the kid and encourage with a nod to tell me the actual incident. "Ma'am I collected some....money like $40 for buying any toy....for my upcoming birthday but.....all the toys are so expensive that I was....just touching them but this lady.....started....scolding me. My dad....daddy...promised...me to buy me a toy last year but...but he is now with....with goddess with my Momma. I am an orphan living with .... living with....my foster....my foster parents. They only gives me $30 as a pocket money from which I need to buy everything I need like stationaries and school lunch of the whole month but after saving for months I was only able to save this much. I decided to buy....buy a toy and treat my....my....myself with... with some ice-cream just the way...Momma and daddy....used to do. I was just searching a toy of that price which amount I was carrying. Please I.... I will go away.... please don't let her....call police." the kid pleaded me. Seeing him broke my heart. "Cut the act you little brat....you are a thief..." the girl started yelling at the kid. "Enough! You have done enough....call your manager...." I ordered her. Why not....I am not a vulnerable kid.... I am a girl with power...and by power I mean money which she can observe by my looks. A man around 50's came out of the store almost running "Ma'am what happened? I am the manager of this store....what is happening here?" now this is my time to smirk...."Manger I was searching you only....what type of employees you keep who Bullys little kids?" I asked raising my left eye brow. The woman's eyes widened...." Sir that kid was....I was...." she tried to explain but got cut off by Manager...." You again misbehaved with little kids Ziami.... that's very low of you....." he then looked towards me...."Ma'am I am sorry.... please allow me to gift a toy to the kid to whom she misbehaved...." I nodded and the manager took me and the kid inside. There the manager gifted the most expensive remote control car to the kid as an apology. We thanked him and then my eyes fell on the lady who was looking at me furiously. Like I care but then I thought to teach her a lifetime lesson...."aaa manager.... don't you think you should not keep arrogant employees in toy shops....you know they can scare little kids...." I said indirectly indicating him to fire that bitch. The manager called the lady....she came rushing towards us like a puppy dog...."Yes sir...do you need anything...." she asked in a seductive tone.....oh God someone give me bucket to puke. The manger looked annoyed....more than me he is happy to throw her out...." You are fired Miss... whatever you are....you can go." The girl looked like she will cry...."Please sir.... don't... I..." I smirked seeing her condition. Without saying or doing anything else I walked out of the store with the child.

"Hey kid where is your house...." I asked him....he told me the address to his house. Today I need to have a serious conversation with his foster parents. Before going out I took him to the food area....where I brought him a chicken double cheese pizza with mushrooms and a bottle of Fanta. We both finished our food . He told me that his name is Neon Miller while coming out of the mall. He lost his mom at the age of 5 years old and last year his father died too. So the leader of their community gave his responsibility to his foster parents who doesn't care about him as he is weak. Strange for being weak? They don't expect a child to be a body builder right? But I didn't asked him anything about it. He also told me he is now 7 years old and came here on his own. After our chit-chat, we came outside. I put this little guys inside my car and then I too sat beside him on the driver's sit. Yes....yes, this car doesn't belongs to me....it belongs to my Pritha di who told me to use hers as she already brought another from her own money.

The address, the kid gave me seems very familiar.....but I opened the GPS to find the location....and as usual I followed the route showed by dear Google map.

While I am driving the kid is looking outside the window as if he never sat on a car before. Suddenly my eyes fell on a little shop. I parked my car near it and went outside to bring ice-cream for this kid and me.... I came back with a mini chocolate mousse cake, a gift and a ice-cream sundae. I sat inside the car and clear my throat to get his attention.

Seeing all this his eyes started shining like stars....he looked towards me with hope as if I will tell him that those are not for him. I quickly nodded. He got excited. "Do you like it?" I asked expecting him to say yes. He nodded looking at the cake. I forwarded the cake towards him to blew the candle. He blew the candle and closed his eyes to make a wish. Then I gave him the plastic knife to cut the cake which I got from the shop only. While he is cutting the cake I started singing...."Happy birthday to you.... happy birthday to dear Neon... happy birthday to you...." He then took a piece of the cake which is wobbly and somehow with his little hand he forwarded the piece in front of my mouth. I took a small bite and the rest I applied to his face. He frowned and did the same. We laughed our heart out then he Started eating the cake. We then finished the whole sundae within ten minutes. I didn't have him the gift yet. I want to give him after reaching to his home. I started driving towards his home. After almost 15 minutes we reached there. My eyes widened seeing the huge mansion no no something like palace in front of me. I looked towards the kid for confirmation...."Kid are you sure....
this looks like a palace...." The kid smiled and replied "Yes because King lives here..." we all are his people. I frowned....king that too in America... strange. I took the kid in my arms with the gift pack and the toy he got from the shop. I am seriously scared...this palace looks like a palace of some devil. I came in front of the gate. Only to stop by two gaurds. They look like big bull dogs....I frowned . "Who are you human?" bull dog no.1 asked. "I am Triya." "Why you are carrying our member?" bull dog no.2 asked. Audacity of these people.... first they let a child roam around the city then they are asking me what this kid is doing with me. But before I could say anything...Neon interrupted...."She is with me Mr. Jim...let her in please....she means no harm." I smirked but the guards told us to wait....as they need to talk with their head or something, so one of them went inside while the other is still glaring at me and looking at me with disgust. I looked away.....the other gaurd came rushing towards us with a fear in his eyes after few minutes..." Sorry Lun...I mean Ma'am.....Alp...I mean you are welcome." wow....did he saw ghost....what happened. Whatever I followed him with Neon in my arms. The guard whose name I don't know led me inside the palace....it doesn't seems similar but why the road does. He took us inside a mini hall type place. Not so mini it is huge but in comparison to the palace it is small. I am damn sure it's not the main hall. Going inside I saw someone who I never expected to be here. "Jason! You....".

He smiled as if he expected my arrival
......" Welcome to my home again Triya."

I am now totally confused....Did he changed his house but earlier one was not so big....like it was just a mansion.... I looked towards the people who are standing along with him....who have weird expression in their faces. Jason came towards me " Triya earlier you came inside with the other direction. So you didn't see the palace." He said understanding my confusion but when his eyes landed on Neon....his expression changed...."Who is this Triya?" and then my expression turned cold....."Jason is this boy belongs to your community or anything....?" He nodded saying yes. I frowned when I felt Neon shivering in my arms. "What happened Neon?" I asked him softly. He hide his face in my chest.

"Triya what are you doing with this child....I mean where did you found him?" Jason asked curiously. I am now fully confused. Jason belongs from a rich family that I knew but he is any king or what....I mean only royals live in this types of palace. Before I could reply, Suddenly I heard a loud voice...."What the hell are you doing you a stranger you brat....?" from my behind. I turned around to see a woman in her early thirties. Her face is full of make up....and looking so fake. Neon whimpered...."Triya this is my foster mommy." The lady was looking at me with disgust but when I came to know about her identity I just returned her expression. "I tell you guys this brat always is so bratty....I tried to be a good mom but he always steals....I don't know what to do anymore...." hearing her accusation...my blood boiled.

"Kid....is this true what your mom is saying? Huh...." Jason asked in a cold voice while others are just witnessing the scenerio with neutral expression...while there is a smirk on that lady's face. "No King Alp...." he was going to reply but got stopped by a voice..."Alpha he stole my toffee.... yesterday...." a little kid complaint. I tried to find lie in her face but no there is not a slight glint of lie. I looked towards Neon to see that his head was already hung low due to shame. I raised my eyebrow...."Boy...
did you do that?" He nodded indicating that he did that. I twisted his ears. "Ahhh! It's hurting...Triya..." I put him down..."Why did you do that...do you know that stealing is sin... doesn't matter what are your excuses." He sniffed and replied...." I was hungry....and Kia had many toffees so I thought if I take one she won't notice....it was once only....I...I didn't take it again." I controlled my tears....no Triya...hold yourself...this is the time the kid should get basic lesson. You can't let him show that his excuses can save him....I thought.

"Say sorry to her....and promise her to return another toffee as a compensation.... don't you think what you did will make your parents ashamed? Just say her sorry and accept your mistake." I ordered him in a very strict tone. Neon nodded like a good boy. But again that evil lady interrupted...." Oh God so melo drama.... listen you stupid girl...I am his mommy....I will decide his punishment. I think we should give him hard punishment to this brat..." I was somehow controlling my anger. "Jason....is this how you guys treat children? Do you know this little guy was all alone in mall getting harrassed by a lady for touching a toy who he can't afford to buy...." but again another lady cut me off..."So may be he was trying to steal toys....Alpha I think we can discuss a good punishment for this little brat..." I sighed....control Triya...control...you can't loose your temper....right...Triya is a good girl....and good girls never put anyone in fire.... I calmed myself in my mind. I turned towards the lady who just said those words..."I gave her a furious look....but suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.... Strangely my anger flew away. I turned back to see Jason standing with a soft smile on his lips....oh God....those delicious...once I want to have a little tas...omg! What the hell I am thinking. Triya hold your hormones girl. "Jason, Neon is treated very badly here....he told me some King or I don't know what handed over his responsibility to a couple who doesn't even care whether he is dead or alive. Jason please request your King to see this matter...If you want I can request your King or leader whoever he is too consider his case." I pleaded but in return he just smiled...."Triya...I am..."Oh please what proof do you have...you human?" Neon's so called mother asked me with a smirk...and guess what I smirked back..."You are his mommy right?" I asked her back...she nodded as if she is doing a great sacrifice by accepting this kiddo as her son but I am also Triya....I may look innocent but for this evil people I am very bad. "Why today is a very special day for your son?" I asked. The lady first seems puzzle then gave me a ridiculous answer...."His parents death anniversary or may be his birthday....or he....I....I.... actually..." I wanted to laugh so hard but I somehow controlled...."Jason....see if she is so good mother then how come she doesn't know her child's birthday....Jason she doesn't even give him enough money for his basic needs.... please tell your King.... I am the proof..." I said with confidence. Clap clap.... my head snapped to my left side to see a man in his late forties with a lady in her early forties coming towards us and the man is clapping but why?....they both came in front of me and said that didn't make any sense to me...."Goddess gave you a perfect mate my son....a born queen....Welcome to Moonlight Palace my child."
