Author's Pov

"Avi, mom has prepared your favourite. Let's go home and eat" Young Dhruv said looked at Anvi who was sadly pouting and sitting on the swing.

"No. First you promise me you won't go anywhere. I don't have any other friends Dru. Please don't leave me" Anvi looked at Dhruv in tears...

"I am so sorry Avi.. My parents said I need to go.. but I will promise you. I will come back again" Dhruv said wiping Anvi's tears. "When will you come back?" Anvi questioned innocently.

"I will come back when I am big. That time I will never let you go and will always be near you. I promise" Dhruv said as anvi smiled and hugged Dhruv.

"You promised me ha? Don't forget it." Anvi said as Dhruv hummed and hugged her back. "I won't ever forget my promise Avi."

Anvi and her parents bid goodbye to their neighbours. And anvi cried looking at her childhood friend of 8 years leaving her and going. From the day she was born, Dhruv was her bestfriend.

He wouldn't let her go anywhere alone and would always accompany her. Whenever she cried or got sad she would spend time with Dhruv. And Dhruv promised himself that he would find her again. No matter what.

"Maa... Papa... M...aaa.. pa...papa.." Young Anvi cried looking at her parents dead body. They died in a car accident while coming back from work. They both were doctors in the same hospital and died while driving back home...

"Nono.. I can't look after her. I already have two children. How is that possible?" She heard her mom's sister say as she just cried wishing her parents would come alive.

No-one were ready to take care of the girl. So the only option was to send her to orphanage... The young girl missed her parents and Dhruv. She would spend her days in an orphanage crying...

"Hey you. Stop crying. Take bath and wear this. Someone will come to see you" she heard the orphanage owner say as her eyes shined. "Is it Dhruv?" She hiccuped and thought before quickly getting ready and running out...

She searched for Dhruv.. his parents.. but she sobbed as she found no-one... "Yes sir. It's her" someone said as she looked up and saw two people. A man and a woman. "She keeps crying. But I think she is the best option for you both. If you teach her some manners then all will be fine" the owner said as anvi looked at them scared and took a few steps back as the man and woman looked at eachother and smirked.

"We will take this one. Prepare all the documents" the woman said smirking and looked at a bodyguard. "Bring this thing home" they then left as Anvi quickly ran away when she saw the bodyguard coming towards her...

"Aaaahhh. Let me go... Noo" she cried as the orphanage owner held her ears and twisted it making her quickly shut her mouth and control the sobs..

"listen here you little trouble maker.. by any chance if they return you back then I will kill you.. got it? I will kill you. So behave and act like a good kid" Anvi quickly nodded as she looked very frightened.

"WHAT DID I SAY YOU IDIOT! CAN'T EVEN SOLVE THIS QUESTION. DO YOU WANT ME TO HIT YOU AGAIN HUH?" The woman, who is now her mom screamed as she slapped Anvi making her cry.

"Nithya... Control yourself till the interview with the media... What if she opens her mouth in front of the media?" Raghunath her husband said as she groaned. "I will kill you if you open your mouth in front of media. Just smile and hug us like you love us. Orelse" Raghunath threatened Anvi as she took a few steps back getting scared and nodded.
