Dual : Second Act Of Love

Chapter 4 - Strange feeling

Jhanavi :- "Aarvi hold my hand."

Jhanavi looked down to hold aarvi's hand but realised that she was not by her side, Panic immediately rushed through her, she asked her parents if they had seen her but they shook their heads in negative.

Jhanavi :- "Aarvi!!"

Sarth was waving goodbye to his friend suraj, when he bumped into someone. He looked down to see a 5 year old looking up at him with amusement and excitement in her eyes.

"SK!!"

Sarth :- "Hey little one."

Sarth smiled at her and kneeled down to her level so he could talk to her properly. He was really confused as to how she recognized him with the mask on, he looked around for her parents but they were no where to be seen.

"You are really SK right?"

Sarth looked back at Aarvi, she had a excited smile on her face, which made him smile too.

Sarth :- "Yes that's me."

Aarvi :- "You are so cool SK!"

Sarth :- "Thank you."

Sarth smiled at her warmly, he didn't know why he felt a connection with her, her cute smile made his heart smile.
He again looked around for her parents but he couldn't see them anywhere.

Sarth :- Beta where are your aai, baba?

And that's when aarvi realized that she lost her mother, feeling scared she looked around frantically trying to look for her jhanavi but when she couldn't see her anywhere near her, tears started forming in her eyes.

Aarvi :- My aai is lost.

Sarth's heart ached when he saw her tears, he couldn't explain why he was feeling this way.

Sarth :- Hey calm down little one, We will find your aai don't worry.

Sarth smiled at her reassuringly making her smile too.

Aarvi :- Promise?

Aarvi held out her hand infront of sarth he looked at her small hand and smiled as he held her hand.

Sarth :- Promise. Now can you tell me where did you lost her?

Aarvi tried to remember but she couldn't she shook her head sideways in negative. Her eyes welled up she again looked around to find jhanavi.

Aarvi :- Aai.

Sarth again felt the same strange feeling. He just couldn't see her cry.

Sarth :- We will make a announcement for your aai don't worry.

Sarth stood up, he picked her up and walked over to the announcement counter. A lady was sitting behind the counter messaging someone, sarth shook his head at the irresponsible behavior he tapped on the table to gain her attention.

Sarth :- Miss please we need to make a announcement.

- For whom?

The lady asked in a annoyed tone, ignoring her tone he informed her about the situation..

Sarth :- Can you please just make the announcement for the little girl? She is really scared.

Realizing her mistake the lady nodded and asked aarvi her name.

Aarvi :- My aai says not to tell a stranger my name so I'm not going to tell you.

Sarth chuckled in amusement at aarvi. She really is a smart kid, he thought.
