After a test failed, In next test StepInterpreceptor is not executing

[TalatiShirish]

Hi,
I am using Serenity 2.1.5, ,cucumber 4.8.0.
When running a test suit locally ( in Windows box) can run all (100 test cases )the test cases. However, When run the same test suit in ECS ( linux box) then only manage to run 9 ( some time 15 test cases).
When a test fails for some reason then all the following test cases fail with NULL POINTER EXCEPTIONS.
Adding logs to see where the flow is terminating. Can not get any meaningful full info out.

The standing out issue is When the test case is failed with Null pointer exception that time STEPINTERCEPTOR method is executing to list out if the steps is started or done.

Is this something to do How does serenity handle when a test case is failed?

Please point me in the direction where I can debug or get some solution out of it.
A screenshot for POM and LOGS of successful steps and NULL POINTER is attached.
