Part-5
They came outside holding hands.
I am sorry about the morning. I apologize. By saying this he extended his hand for handshake. But instead of giving handshake she just stood staring at his hand.
Okay, seems like you haven't forgiven me yet. No problem. By saying this he stared at her bangle n about to touch it but she came back to her defending position ready to punch him.
Cool...cool. I am just seeing. It's pretty...pretty...he stresses it. She murmurs pretty...pretty to herself.
Let's go because there are things I'm sorry about so I want to buy a present for you. By saying this he is about to hold her hand but he remembered her kick and immediately withdrawn his hand. Then he holded her t-shirt sleeves with two fingers maintaining his distance and took her.
He is walking front and she is following him, He stopped at the traffic signal but she continued walking. Again he pulled her back by holding her t-shirt.
It's green light. You should stop as the vehicles are moving. By saying this he pointed to the traffic signal.
He took her to the shopping mall. She is mesmerized by seeing the mall as there are many people and the building is very big with many storeys.
Come, its over there he pointed towards one of the accessory shop. He climbed exelator first. She couldn't climb it as it is moving. She just stood there. He saw her and came back. He took her into his arms n climbed exelator. He saw her legs which were injured because of no slippers. He felt sad. He carried her to the accessory shop and made her sit on the sofa.
Then he went and bought slippers and asked her to wear. She started playing with them by wearing them to her hands. He fed up with her took them and he himself wore to her feet. All the while she is looking at him silently.
"From now on you should wear them instead of walking on barefoot." said Rishi.
She smiled by looking at her feet. He gave her one of the dress he selected and sent her to trail room to wear it.
Meanwhile he got a call from UV. Ha UV she is with me. By talking on phone he went outside.
She is dressed up in pink dress n kept on seeing herself in mirror by keeping various silly poses. She came outside and searched for him. But she didn't find him. Then she saw jokers entertaining children. She went to them.
"Rishi that bangle is 900 years old. It costs nearly 5 crores. Don't miss it." said UV.
Okay UV. I will call you later. He hangs up the phone and went to the same shop. He checked trail room but she is not there. He asked sales girl but of no use. He went out n searched for her.
"Oh god five crores. Where did she go." he thought to himself.
Then he saw a mother carrying her child who is crying. He saw children play area. He went there. There she is, sitting n licking lollipop. He smiled by seeing her.
"Why are you, grown up person is sitting here." he asked her.
I told you to wait... Do you know what waiting means? Don't you leave without saying? I really got worried.
As he is talking, she sat there licking lollipop.
Are you Okay? By saying this he kept his hand on her shoulder. She just stared at him. Then he saw bangle and felt relief.
All the while he is talking she just sat there smiling at him.
He is surprised by her smile. What is this? You know how to smile.
Again she smiled at him and he also smiled at her.
You are hungry right? Let's go eat. He took her to the restaurant and ordered noodles.
She took noodles with both the hands and kept it in her mouth. Then she started eating directly with her mouth.
He covered his head with his hands out of embarrassment as all are looking at them. He went to her n sat beside her. He took plait of her hair and kept it behind her ear and said
Are you from jungle? He took tissue paper n cleaned her mouth.
Then he took fork and showed her how to use it n then kept it in her mouth.
Like this you have to eat he said n gave her fork. She did as he said.
That's it he appreciated her by showing thumbs up. Then she started eating with fork. Every time after keeping in mouth she looked at him and he gave her appreciating smile.
She kept on eating. With in no time she completed eight plates of various dishes. He just stared at her while she is eating.
He fed up with her because after eating that much she is nowhere near to saying enough. He thought to do something.
Oh! Wait you got something stuck here. By saying this he kept his hand on back of her head. Then he took his lighter and lighted. She is surprised seeing it.
Is that your first time seeing fire? Why are you looking at it so surprised? She remained silent.
Then he took one thread and lighted it before her eyes. She closed her eyes out of fear. Then he took chain out of that thread and he himself wear that chain to her neck.
He smiled and said pretty. Okay now finish it. She smiled and started eating.
He kept her bangle in his pocket which he took from her without her knowledge while making her wear chain.
After some time he took her and made her sit in the sofa.
I am going somewhere so wait here. By saying this he went near the lift which is beside the sofa.
She again looked at him. He went into the lift. He felt sad leaving her like this.
Come on Rishi. Don't feel bad. You got what you want. Don't think too much about her.
He went into his room and started packing his luggage. He called UV and said "Hey UV good news I got that bangle.
"What you got that bangle. Then let's meet each other right now. Should I come there or do you want to come here?" said UV.
I told you before, I need to go somewhere.
Where are you going?
"There is a place the world end." said Rishi to UV.
World end my foot. There is no such place.
"Don't be like that just wait for one week" by saying this he hangs up the phone.
In mall, she is waiting for him. Whenever the lift door is open she thought he came but every time she is disappointed.
It became night n closing time for mall. She is waiting for him in children play area hoping that like last time he may find her here.
He packed his luggage and ready leave then he saw one cherry on the floor n remained there for sometime staring at it. He came to his senses and left from there.
It's raining heavily he is in the car. He is feeling restlessness. He stopped car at traffic signal. By seeing traffic signal he remembered her. He held his head in confusion not knowing what is happening in his brain as all his thoughts were occupied by her.
Meanwhile working staff of mall came and asked various question that what she is doing here at this closing time? Are you waiting for someone?
But she remained silent.
Then they he took her and throwed out saying mall is closed.
She just sat there in front of mall looking at rain. He is watching her from the distance.
He went to her slowly and kept umbrella above her head. She raised her head and smiled seeing him.
"Wait is a word that something good is going to happen. A word that even when like a wave, I got somewhere far away for a bit, my friend will find me. A word that means my friend is wishing for me not to get hurt. A word that warms the heart. A word that something good is going to happen. She thought to herself.
She extended her hand still sitting and he held her hand. Both remained in that position looking into each other eyes.
