~Angel~
It was early morning. I woke up to baby cries. I walked into Sachin’s room and found him pacifying the little girl. It seemed that the girl was irritated with something or might be hungry.
Sachin realised my presence, and looked at me…
“Angel dekho na, isey kya hua hai? Chup hi nahi ho rahi. “ he said.
I smiled and moved towards him..
“Main dekhun? “I asked.He shifted her into my lap. I asked him to prepare milk for her, while I decided to give her a warm water bath. I switched geyser on and began playing with her. The little girl stopped crying. I took off her clothes, and gave her a bath. She was only some days old, yet I felt I knew her since long.
I wiped her carefully and made her wear new clothes. Sachin came inside and saw her smiling. He glanced at me…
“Tumne toh isey chup hi karva diya. “ he said.
I smiled..
“Sachin she was irritated with something . Isliye I gave her a bath. Tumne secretary se baat ki? “ I asked.
“Abhi karunga Angel. Don't worry. “ he said.
I took the feeder bottle from him and fed that milk to the little girl. She slept while drinking the milk. I glanced at her..
“Koi itni pyaari bachi ko kaise chhod sakta hai. “ I said.“Main pata karta hoon.. Tum aaj office mein kaam sambhal logi? “ he asked.
“Haan! But our project? “ I was doubtful because we were working on the same project.
Sachin sighed.. “Main boss se baat kar lunga. Aaj is bachi ke baare mein pata karna zaruri hai. “ he said.
I agreed. We had to find out about her family. I pecked a small kiss on her forehead, and left from his house.
~Sachin~
Angel left the house. She was a big help yesternight. Otherwise I was clueless what to do. The unknown little girl started making place in my heart. I glanced back in my room. She was sleeping soundly. I sat beside her adoring her. She looked calm in her sleep.
I then called the Manager of my society and asked him to come to my house. He came within 10 minutes. His name was Rajeev Mishra. He took seat and looked at me…
“Kya Baat Hai? Aapne itni jaldi mein mujhe kyun bulaya! “ he asked.“Rajeevji, mujhe aapse ek urgent baat karni hai. Kal Saamne jo garden hai wahan mujhe ek bachi mili. Aaspaas koi tha nahi. Toh she is with me. “ I said.
“Anjaan bachi? “ he was surprised.
“Jee. Kya aap jaante hain? “ I asked as I took him where the baby girl was sleeping.
“Nahi sir ye yahan toh nahi rehti. “ Rajeev replied.
I got worried…
“ Haan lekin aise koi kaise chhod ke ja sakta hai itni choti bachi ko? “
“Sachinji main pata lagane ki koshish karta hoon tab tak aap sambhal lijiye. “ he said.
I nodded. I can't leave her elsewhere. I decided to keep her with me until I find her parents. Rajeev left my house and I made my way to my room. I sat on the bed. The little girl opened her eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips. She lifted her arms towards me. I lifted her in my arms.
As soon as I lifted her she chuckled. Her little palms rested on my face. It seemed that she was happy here. Even i felt a little peace being with her. She was looking into my eyes.. I kissed on her head…
“Main tumko Ruhi bulaun? Tum bahut pyari ho, isliye aajse tumhara naam Ruhi.” I spoke.
She was looking at me, her one hand was on my shoulder and other
on my cheek.
She smiled, though she didn't understand what i said, but she did liked the sound.
I took the name a few times and her smile grew wider. I smiled looking upon her and then I made her sit on the bed, giving her a toy. My phone rang and I was left a little shocked hearing the caller.
