The Tale Of True Love

2) First meet?

Here Ritisha was standing on the roadside trying to catch auto but maybe luck wasn't in her side today; she was waiting since 30 minutes, then suddenly she felt someone pulling her saree, she bent down to see a little girl crying

Ritisha immediately took that girl in her arms and asked softly, "baccha kya hua ap ro kyo rhe ho aur ap akele yahan kya kr rhe ho?"

That girl, "mai mai kho gyi... (Sobbing) meri mumma nhi mil rhi."

Ritisha(wiping her tears) , "shhh baccha didi hai na ro mat mai apki mumma ko dhundungi hmm."

Then Ritisha's eyes fell on that girl's dress's collar, where some phone no. was written, she understood it may be of her parent.

(Some parents write their phone no. On their child's dress's or shirt's collar (as my mumma used to do so) ,so if by chance if they get lost then someone could help)

Ritisha- baccha ye phone no. kiska hai? (pointing towards her collar)

That girl- meri mumma ka

Ritisha-accha baccha aap apna naam batao mai apki mumma ko call krti hun ok fir apki mumma aa jayengi, wo bhi kafi pareshan hongi, aapko khoj rhi hongi.

That girl( while sobbing), "Myra mela nam hai."

Ritisha immediately hugged Myra and kissed her cheek. She had left her phone at home. Maa will be so tensed yar mai itni gadhi kyun hun,she groaned inwardly

Then Ritisha's eye fell on a man backfacing her, she touched his shoulder and said, "excuse me."

The man turned around and while seeing Ritisha,he was left frozen at his place and was not able to blink his eyes, this confused her but she shrugged her thoughts and asked,

"sorry to disturb you wo ye bacchi kho gyi hai (and then she explained him the whole thing, she then lastly said) wo actually mere pas phone nhi hai abhi to please ap de sakte hain.So that I can call her mother?"

That man was still frozen at his place and a lone tear escaped his eye but before she could see he immediately wiped it off, but then Myra jumped in joy and hugged Sitansh, meanwhile due to this both Ritisha and Sitansh came a little close to each other, but understanding her discomfort he immediately took Myra in his arms and stepped back a little and looked at Ritisha who was looking at him confusingly

"You know her?"
"Yes she is my sister's daughter Myra." Sitansh looked at Myra who pecked his cheek and a chuckle escaped his mouth, Ritisha looked at him why his laugh reminded her of some long lost memory?

"Don't worry I will drop her home,thank you for staying by her side." Sitansh smiled at Ritisha but she was a little worried

"What happened?" He asked sensing her worry

"Wo my college fest, I don't think I will be able to find an auto now."

"Don't worry I will drop you."
"Yes angel didi bhaiya will help you." Ritisha's heart melted at Myra's words, really children are so pure and their words have the power to heal you.

"Yes I would be glad to help an angel like you."
Don't know but she blushed at his statement, and agreed

Meanwhile that man was continuously looking at Ritisha and was smiling, but that smile showed a different emotion a kind of longing which couldn't be deciphered in words.

Then Ritisha sat in car, but Myra made her sit beside Sitansh,her eyes widened but she complied and sat there and told him her college's address, there was silence in the car but soon Ritisha broke it.

Ritisha- wo apka nam?, If you're not comfortable in telling then it's ok.

That man(smiled) and said, ...."Sitansh."

She smiled he has got a beautiful name, but why her heart again thumped— as if telling her something.
