DALLIANCE

"What?" Noah's eyes widened in shock. "This isn't possible please recheck it. There has been some sort of mistake, please check it again."

"Mam, I have already checked it 10 times. In fact, I am still looking at it." The man behind the desk said with conformity. "Your seat has been upgraded to first class."

"This isn't possible." Noah said with confidence. "I think you are confusing me with someone else. There is no way my seat could get automatically upgraded to first class when I have bought the tickets of economy class."

"Mam there is no mistake your seat has been upgraded to first class. If you don't believe me you can see it for yourself." Saying this he turned the screen towards Noah.

Noah nodded and looked at the screen. She matched her ticket number with the one on the screen. Her eyes popped wide open as she checked the last line of the information that was reflected on the screen.

Economy Class

Remark: UPGRADED TO FIRST CLASS.

"But how this... this is just-" Noah couldn't believe it.

"Mam, now if you believe me can you please step aside? You are holding up the line." he said politely.

Noah turned around only to get angry glares from the long line that had formed right behind her.She mumbled an apology and stepped aside.

"Mam the first class lounge is that way. You can wait there as there is some time for your flight." saying that he got busy with his work.

Since Noah had no other choice she quietly entered the lounge and sat on the plush couch.

"What the hell is happening with me. How is this possible?" Noah shook her head while closing her eyes. "How come my seat got upgraded to first class when I bought the tickets for economy class?"

All of a sudden memories of the last few days flashed in front of her eyes. Her eyes snapped open as all the pieces started to fall in place.

"Oh God, how did I not see this before?" Her breathing hitched as realisation struck her like lightning. "This isn't the first time things like this happened to me."

"First all my bills got cleared because I won some "LUCKY DRAW" and the amount that I won was more than enough to clear all my debts."

"Secondly I got some "SCHOLARSHIP" that neither I had any idea about nor did I apply for which took care of my college fees."

"Out of nowhere, my landlady started acting so sweetly when she belonged to the bloodline of Hitler. She didn't even taunt me when I failed to pay this month's rent on time because of bank holidays. Instead, she said that she completely understood and asked me not to worry about it. Though I paid the rent the very next week still she didn't create any drama and accepted the rent without any fuss."

"And now this... My Nanny is not well. Her condition is very critical. Mom and Dad had asked me to reach Chicago soon. I would have gone by train only but fortunately, I have saved a part of the lottery money which came into use this time. So I brought an economy class ticket to Chicago but when I checked in I was informed that my ticket had been upgraded."

"Coincidence can happen once, Luck can favour a person once, maximum twice or thrice not every now and then."

"The kind of thing that is happening to me the way things are happening isn't normal."

"I don't why am I feeling that something has changed which I am not able to see. Something has happened that I have no idea about."

"Though I know one thing that I am being watched over, I don't know whether I should be scared or should I feel safe and secure. As I don't know whether I am being watched by A Guarding Angel Or A Guarding Demon.."

"Just like you expected she did get shocked when she came to know that her ticket had been upgraded to first class. She got her ticket checked at least 10 times. She was constantly saying only one thing. "THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF MISTAKE AS SHE BROUGHT AN ECONOMY CLASS TICKET SO HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE THAT HER TICKET WAS UPGRADED TO FIRST CLASS." She would have continued to argue if she wasn't reminded that she was holding up the line. She finally gave in and entered the first class lounge where she waited until her flight was called. It's been just five minutes since she boarded her plane. She will reach Chicago in exactly 75 minutes. Harry will take it from there." The voice from the other end spoke.
