Seattle, WA, U.S.A.,

A guy standing in front of a big building read 'Seattle Publishing House'..
He exhaled deeply and went inside..
Receptionist's desk was the first thing which caught his attention and he rushed towards the blonde girl working on the desktop computer which was on the reception desk..
"excuse me.." he breathed out nervously..
The girl looked up from the computer screen and gave him her trained smile..
"Yes, sir.. How can I help you??" she asked professionally..
"Umm.. Actually.. Miss Hemal Shah must be expecting me..
Can you please check and information her about my arrival.." he muttered..
"One minute, sir, let me check.." and she again looked back at her computer screen..
"Mr. Dhruv Narang..??" she asked him about his identity..
His name sounded weird in her American accent..
"Yes..!!" he chipped..
"Mam is in a meeting, sir..
Please if you can wait there.." she informed and showed him the couch on the right side of the lobby..
"When will the meeting get over??" he asked impatiently..
"I've no idea about it.. It's a board meeting, sir..
In can take less or more time according to the matter of discussion.." she said politely..
"OK.. Please inform me when she is free.." Dhruv faked a small smile and turned to go to the waiting area when his felt a tug on his trousers pants..
He turned back and looked down in confusion only to find a tiny baby girl around age of four to five years standing just next to him..
Dhruv's lips instantly went upwards as he lied his eyes on that cotton ball..

Dhruv's POV..

As I turn I find a cute baby standing there..
She is so cute..
I can't stop myself from admiring this sugar puff..
She is fair.. But not that pale like the locals..
She has a pair of big chocolate brown orbs kinda similar with mine and black hair..
Her cheeks are a little chubby and pink..
And the cutest feature of her is her button like tiny nose..
It reminds me of Hemal..
She is the definition of cuteness..
And her cat hoodie is adding more cuteness to this already cutest baby..

End of POV..

"I can't reach there.. Can you please hold me up.." she chipped in her baby voice and stretched her both hands high..
Dhruv never heard that type of soothing voice after Hemal left him..
He bended down and chipped a "Of course..!!" with a huge smile before picking her up in his arms..
She hardly had any weight and she was softer than his imagination..
So he just loosened up his grip and held her carefully..
"Hey..!! Miss Carla.." she banged her tiny palm on the reception desk and called the receptionist by her name loudly as soon as Dhruv took her there..
Dhruv wasn't expecting that..
He was amazed seeing the audacity to this tiny creature..
Carla looked up from the computer screen and her eyes popped out seeing her in Dhruv's arms..
"You, naughty girl.. You just can't bother any visitor like that.. Get down now.." she snapped at her..
Dhruv didn't like the way she talked to her..
He was going to tell her that he was fine with her, when carla spoke hurriedly..
"I'm so sorry, sir..
Please don't mind.. She is just a bit naughty..
You can put her down.." she finished in a single breath..
"It's OK, miss..
I don't have any problem with her..
I'm totally fine..
Don't worry.." Dhruv smiled at her..
"But, sir.." she was a bit hesitated..
"No ifs, no buts.. He's telling you, he's fine..
So why are you bothering him asking same question..
You can't bother any visitor like that.." baby girl returned Carla's words back to her..
Carla's jaw dropped hearing that, though it was nothing new for her..
And on the other side Dhruv chuckled hearing her grabbing Carla's attention...
"Sorry..!!" he apologized for chuckled at her and made a straight face..
"It's OK, sir.." she faked a small smile and shifted her gaze from Dhruv to the baby in his arms..
"Tell why are you here??" asked carla seriously..
"Ask properly.." the little one glared..
Carla sighed and calmed herself down..
"Mam, will you please enlighten me with the purpose of your visit..??" she chipped faking smiles..
Dhruv was a silent spectator of their banter.. 
But he was thoroughly enjoying this baby's boldness..
"I'm here to meet mommy..
I went to her cabin but she wasn't there..
Where is my mommy??" she frowned making a pout..
"She's your mom, you should know where she is..
How will I know.." Carla shrugged..
"Don't be smart.. Tell me where mommy is.." she threatened her..
"I can't tell you.." Carla stated..
"No.. No.. No..!!
Tell me where mommy is..
Tell me.. Tell me .. Tell me..!!" she started shouting and throwing her hands and legs in the air making it difficult for Dhruv to hold her..
"Shh..!! Baby..!! Calm down..!! Calm down..!!
She will tell you everything..
Please calm down..!!" Dhruv rocked her a bit to calm her down and looked at Carla who gave him a I'm_not_gonna_tell_her_anything look..
"Please tell her what she's asking..
See her face has turned red and she's getting breathless because of shouting continuously.." he pleaded to Carla to tell her everything.. His heart was paining seeing her red face and panting..
Calra sighed and accepted her defeat in front of her stubbornness..
"OK.. Fine.. I'll tell you..
But promise me you won't go there and disturb them.." her big eyes twinkled as she heard it..
Dhruv too smiled seeing her sobber..
"OK..!!
Now tell.." She was impatient..
"Your mom is in a board meeting..
She's very busy and asked me not let anyone disturb them else she will fire me.." Carla muttered..
"Yay..!! I know where the board room is..
Now I'll go and meet my mommy..
Put me down.." she squealed making Carla's face ashen..
Dhruv noticed that and thought to handle the situation..





"That's very bad, baby..
You promised her that you wouldn't go there and disturb anyone..
Then how can you think of breaking your promise..??
You know.. It's a bad manner..
You shouldn't do it.. You are my good girl, right??" Dhruv tried to convince her..
"Yep.. I'm a good girl.. But I'm mommy's good girl..
Not yours.." she chipped with a pride..
"OK mommy's good girl, tell me you won't break your promise, right.." he kissed her fluffy cheek..
"But then I'll get bored here alone.." she whined..
"Why will you get bored..?? See I'm here..
Actually like your mommy, my friend is also in the meeting..
And if you'll go then I'll be all alone and get bored..
See.. There is no here to talk to you me..
Please stay here with me.. We'll wait together for the meeting to get over.." he made a puppy face..
"OK OK..!!
Don't be sad.. I'll stay with you.." she agreed and both Dhruv and Carla sighed in relief..
He looked at Carla and she chipped him a quick thank you to which he nodded..
"OK then, let's go.." Dhruv took a step towards the waiting area and the baby girl screamed..
"Ahh..!! Put me down.. I can walk.." he hurriedly set her on her feet hearing her scream..
"The desk is out of my reach that's why I asked for help..
Now you don't need to carry me..
I'm not a kangaroo.." she pouted and started walking ahead to the sitting area..
"Kangaroo??" Dhruv was confused by the choice of her word..
But he remained quiet and followed the little one's lead..
