______________

"Kangaroo??" Dhruv was confused by the choice of her word..
But he remained quiet and followed the little one's lead..
As they reached the couch he noticed that the couch was a little bit high for her..
She jumped once but didn't get successful in climbing on it..
She jumped again.. And again the same thing happened..
Dhruv shook his head and thought to help her..
"Do you need any help??" he asked with a smile..
She looked at him and said "No.. I did this before also.. I can do it.."
And after another few rounds of jumping she finally climbed on the couch..
The whole time Dhruv was just looking at her..
He didn't understand what was so fascinating seeing a baby.. umm.. well a stubborn baby climbing on the couch on her own..
But surprisingly his eyes never left her sight..
He sighed and took seat beside her..
Dhruv noticed she was resting her back on the back rest of the couch and her legs were lying flat on the sitting part of it..
"Wow..!! Her legs are so tiny.." he was amused seeing that...
They were sitting in silence..
She was looking here and there in the lobby and he was looking at her..
Every time he was seeing her, he was wondering that how come she was so tiny..
Dhruv had zero experience of babies... He was so naive in this field that he didn't even have any idea that her physique is perfect according to her age..
.
.
.
After complete silence of good ten minutes he remembered about the 'Kangaroo' thing and thought of asking her about it..
"Baby, why did you say you are not kangaroo??
I didn't get it.." he ask softly..
"Offo..!! You don't know anything..
Kangaroo always carries their babies..
I said I'm not kangaroo cause I don't need anyone to carry me..
Now understand.." she explained everything in her baby voice..
"Hmm.. Intelligent..!!" Dhruv remarked in mind..
"OK.. Now I understand.." he nodded his head..
"By the way, baby.. What's your name??" he asked..
"D.." she chipped absentmindedly playing the the sleeve of her own coat..
"And 'D' for??" he upped his one eyebrow..
"And.. 'D' for Devil..
Boohh..!!" she muttered and suddenly looked at him with her hands in the air to scare him..
Dhruv jumping slightly on his place by her sudden action..
A the little devil giggled heartily seeing his reaction..
A huge genuine smile broke on his lips after five long years because of this cuteness..
How Dhruv wanted to clasp her in his arms, pull her chubby cheeks and say to her that she wasn't a devil, she was a cute tiny fairy, like Tinkerbell..
But he kept his hands with him only owing her softness..
He was scared thinking that he might hurt her..
"That can't be true.. Your name can't be devil.." frowned..
"But here I'm known as Devil.. Everyone calls me Devil here.. It's my office pet name.." she smirked..
Dhruv's jaw dropped seeing an infant smirking at him and that too exactly the way he smirk..
He took a few seconds to come out of the shock and then nudged her again with a question..
"Why they call you Devil..?? Don't you feel bad..??"
"I just hate those bunch of idiots who call her Devil..
I mean like seriously?? How on earth one can address her as Devil..??" he said in mind..
"No..!!
They call me Devil cause they are scared of me.." again she started playing with her sleeve..
She was hiding her hand completely inside the sleeve and then pushing it out with a jolt..
And there Dhruv was just admiring her without blinking..
.
.
.
"Wait.. I'm coming.." suddenly she chipped and climbed down from the couch when she got bored playing with her sleeve..
"Hey wait..!! Where are you going??" Dhruv asked before she could go anywhere..
"Don't worry.. I'm not breaking my promise.." she grinned and ran away the very moment..
"God..!! She can give a tough competition to bullet train.." he mumbles seeing her speed..
He looked around and found the lobby is deserted..
He was the only soul sitting in the waiting area of the huge white lobby..
He looked at Carla.. She seemed pretty engrossed in the computer..
Still he thought to ask her again about the meeting..
He was about to get up from the couch when he noticed something near the entrance by the corner of his eyes..
He shifted his gaze to the entrance and frowned see his Tinkerbell coming rather sneaking inside tiptoeing and looking everywhere..
Within a couple of seconds she was standing in front of him hiding something inside her coat..
"Help.." she chipped cutely..
"You need help?? But as far as I can remember you can climb on the couch without anyone's help, right??.." Dhruv played..
"I can.. But I can't use my hands now..
Please.." she pouted slightly..
And it was more then enough to melt him..
He hold her lightly and made her on the couch like before..
She immediately kicked her shoes off and sat cross legged facing Dhruv..
Then she removed a ball like furry object and placed it between her and Dhruv..
Dhruv also turned and faced her seeing that mysterious thing..
"What's this??" he asked her pointing at the fur ball..
"Shh..!! Speak slowly.." she whispered pressing her forefinger on her tiny pink lips..
"OK sorry..!! But what's this??" Dhruv too whispered..
She gestured him to come near her by her hand and he bended down to her level..
She grabbed the fur ball and held it closed to his face..
