Angel was shocked to see Ruhi trembling with fear. Maybe the dark ambience made her scared. She was crying. Angel rushed to her…

“kya hua Ruhi? “ she asked.

The little girl jerked her hand..

“chhodo mujhe.. “she said.

Angel got worried and cupped her face…

“bacha daro nahi. Main hoon. “ she said. She turned on the light, Ruhi looked at her and then hugged her hiding herself in her arms. Angel was smearing her back and realised that the girl went unconscious in her arms.

Angel took her to her room and laid her on the bed. She found her body warm. She got worried and got a bowl of iced water and a cloth. She covered Ruhi with a blanket and began putting wet cloth on her forehead. The temperature lowered, Ruhi seemed to gain her conscious. Angel heaved a sigh of relief. She got down of the bed but Ruhi held her hand. Angel smiled and smeared her head…

“Main yahin hoon. “ she whispered and found the little girl relaxing.

She slept in the same position. Angel woke up and found Ruhi still sleeping while hugging her. She freed herself and went to freshen up. She came out and prepared coffee for herself and milk for Ruhi. She then moved to her room.

The little girl was awake by then. Angel checked her head and her temperature was normal.

“Aap kya check kar rahe ho? “ Ruhi asked innocently.

“Aap ek baat batao, kal aap itna dare hue kyun they? “ Angel asked.

A fear aroused through her.. “Wo andhera tha… Koi bhi nahi tha… “ she said scaredly.

Angel pulled her into a soothing hug…

“Koi baat nahi. Ab main hoon na. Chalo ab doodh pi lo” she said.

The little girl obeyed without any argument. Angel got up to take her call but Ruhi grabbed her wrist..

“Aap mat jana Ruhi ko akela Chhod ke! “ she said innocently.

Angel was lost in her innocent smile…

“Nahi jaungi. “ she said tapping her cheeks.

Ruhi smiles, while Angel attended her call. She moved out of the room and Ruhi followed her. She moved into the guest room to get her teddy bear. She came out of the room and saw Angel roaming in the room. She sat on the sofa playing with her toys.

“Ellie! Please manage for a  few. days. “ Angel shouted suddenly.

Ruhi got scared and at the same time Angel turned to her. She sat beside her. Ruhi looked at her…

“Aap gussa ho gayi fir se?” she asked.

“Nahi beta… main gussa nahi hoon. “Angel smiled  at her innocence.

“Aapne chillaya kal jaise. Ruhi ko acha nahi lagta. “ She said making a face.

Angel laughed at her antics…

“Maine Ruhi pe nahi chillaya. Koi aapse gussa kaise ho sakta hai? “ she asked.

“Aap pakka gussa nahi ho? “  Ruhi confirmed.

“Nahi, aur aaj main Ruhi ke sath hi rahungi. “ she said.

Ruhi chuckled..”Hum maze karenge… HaI na? “ she asked.

“Haan! Ab chalo lets play a game. “ Angel said lifting her in her arms.

Another happy moment was  when Ruhi saw a bottle of bubble bath in Angel's hands.

She chuckled seeing it..

“Aapko pata hai, mujhe bubbles ache lagte hain. Main aur mumma bhi khelte they bubbles se. But mumma nahi aayi ruhi se milne. “ she said innocently.

Angel felt bad for the little girl, who didn't even understand what happened with her parents. The little girl was sad remembering her mother. She smiled…

“Main hoon na, chalo hum khelte hain bubbles wala game. “ she said.

Ruhi looked at her and her eyes twinkled when she saw her pouring the bubble liquid into the bath tub. She chuckled seeing it. Within no time, she was beneath the bathtub, periodically, splashing water on Angel's face.

Angel, too, forgot her anger and began to play with her. They played for a long time, and finally they paused this bubble and water game when they were tired.

They walked out of the room, when they heard the phone ring. Angel went to pick up the call. She was picking up the call, when she saw two eyes looking at her. She raised her eyebrows at her

“ No gussa!  Okay! “Ruhi whispered.

Angel smiled and picked up the call and while talking, she moved out of the room. Ruhi climbed up the bed and she saw a few papers. Those were designs that Angel had made for some of her order. Ruhi chuckled to see them.

A while later, Angel entered in the room, but found Ruhi sleeping on the bed.

“Yeh toh so gayi! But ye designs… “ she thought and picked up the scattered papers. She was putting them in order, but something left her surprised.
