Rocky waited for Reya until twelve and he went to his room deciding that he will give it back to Reya before he leaves for India.

 The next day was Sunday and Rocky searched for Reya in the hotel but he couldn't find her.

 He was a bit disappointed as he couldn't meet that little girl again. 

The following morning, Rocky left for his client's office after breakfast and he returned in the evening. 

He was waiting near the elevators and he felt someone pulling his pant. 

He looked down and found Reya standing there with a cute frown.

 Rocky knelt at her height and smiled at her. "You only stole my stuffed panda nah." Accused Reya. 

Rocky looked at her shocked and said, "No Reya you left it there and I took it and kept it safe. I waited in the lounge for a long time and I searched for you yesterday."

 "I don't live here; I live in my house. Mumma works here." Said Reya.

 "Where is your house?" asked Rocky. 

"No," said Reya.

 "Why no?" asked Rocky as he tied Reya's shoelaces as found them undone.

 "Mumma said that I should not say it to strangers." Said Reya. 

Rocky smiled and looked at Reya and said, "We have met almost thrice, so we are not strangers can we be friends?" 

Reya thought for a moment by keeping her finger on her chin and Rocky admired her cuteness.

 "Okay, first you give my stuffed panda back." Said Reya. 

Rocky cupped her cheeks and placed a kiss on her forehead and lifted Reya and entered the elevator and took her to his room.

 He opened the door and placed her down and placed his keycard on the holder and picked up the panda from the couch and handed it to Reya. 

Reya hugged the doll and said, "Thank you Raja uncle." 

Rocky scrunched his nose and said, "You can call me Raja, not Uncle." 

"Okay, Raja." Said Reya cutely. 

Rocky felt his name a hundred times sweeter when he heard her calling him. 

"So, Reya, shall I order ice cream for you?" asked Rocky. 

"Mmm." Thought Reya.

 "We are friends' baby, not strangers." Said Rocky wishing he could kidnap her and take her with him.

 Over three cups of ice cream Rocky and Reya chatted about cricket and Rocky told her about his family but Reya spoke little about her family and nothing about her dad. 

Rocky guessed by her talks that her mother was a single mom but he saw her with a man the other day. 

He decided not to dig further, he was surprised by Reya's knowledge of cricket. 

Reya glanced at Rocky's watch and said, "Uffo Raja Mumma will go mad if she finds me missing." Said Reya as she got down from the sofa.

 "Wait Reya, I'll take you down." Said Rocky picking up his keys. 

He brought her down and made her stand and Reya saw Reena standing facing the other side through the glass door she was about to tell Rocky but his phone rang and he was busy with it. 

So, he didn't notice Reya running towards Reena. "Mumma." Said Reya hugging Reena's legs. 

Reena knelt and hugged her and kissed her and asked, "Where did you go without telling me or Samir?."

 "I went to rescue my stuffed panda." Answered Reya. 

"What?" asked Reena lifting Reya and walking to her room as Reya narrated how she met "Raja" and all the incidents. 

"So, you went with a stranger. What have I told you about talking with unknown people." Asked Reena in a stern tone.

 "But Mumma, Raja did not do bad touch. He was nice." Said Reya in an innocent tone making Reena's anger melt. 

She kissed her daughter's head and hugged her tight. "We must be careful always baby." Said Reena.

 The door opened and Samir came in, "Thank god she is here." Said Samir touching Reya's head.

 "Thanks, Samir, for helping me to search for Reya." Said Reena. 

Samir smiled and thought, "I'll always be by your side, I hope you get me." 

Samir left the room and Rocky searched for Reya.

 But he couldn't find her, he guessed that she might have gone to her mother. 

Rocky wished to meet Reya's mother and ask more about Reya. 

Reena held Reya by her hand and both walked towards the exit as it was time to go home.

 Reya noticed Reena's bracelet and she remembered that Raja wore the same kind of bracelet. 

As they reached the car Reena made Reya sit and she started the car and concentrated on driving. "Mumma, where did you buy this bracelet?" asked Reya.

 As Reena was concentrating fully on driving she said, "He gifted this and he has one too." Reya caught her words and thought about them till they reached their house.

After Dinner, Reya was lying on the bed with her stuffed panda and teddy and thought about Raja. 

"Maybe, Ma and Raja know each other. Is Raja the "He" Mumma mentioned? Maybe she can ask Raja about the bracelet more. With these thoughts, Reya drifted into sleep.
