Little Hearts

Chapter - 8(a)

"Mighty talk with baby boo"

"Part - 1"

*******

Sheetal, a girl of 10-year-old (Shravas baby sister) was crying her heart out with a Barbie doll in her hand.

Lasya was walking towards her room feeling very tired after the outing but stopped in her tracks when she heard someone sobbing.

She looked around to see if anyone or someone was actually there and to her surprise, there was this one little girl who was sobbing hysterically holding something against her chest.

Lasya narrowed her eyes and checked her time. Her eyes widened with the realization and strode past to her. Lasya without thinking sat beside and tapped on her shoulder.

The little girl slowly raised her head and looked at her over the tiny eyelashes that were wet enough to make her look more adorable. "She was so beautiful yet so cute", Lasya thought and smiled at her

"Shall I sit here for a while? If you don't mind." She asked with nervous and she didn't know why she felt like that, that too with a little girl.

"Of course you can. But do I know you?" The little one asked out of curiosity with her melodious kiddish sobbing voice.

"I don't know you but we shall be friends if you let me know why you were crying that too at this hour of the night?" She looked around to see if anyone looking at them and but to her dismay, she didn't find anyone related to her and she found it odd cause she thought how can someone leave a little girl like this at night all alone and that too while she was crying her heart out.

The little girl huffed and wiped her tears and showed her Barbie doll which was in her hands to Lasya. She was surprised to see a broken doll and she understood why she was crying all along.

"See, this is my Barbie and I call her as my sweetie. The other girl from near my room who came over to play with me broke her hand and now I am not able to play with it." The little one said very slowly and started crying again hysterically shaking her head in a way that nothing can be done now.

Lasya smiled at her and patted her shoulders and gestured her not to cry. She wipes her tears running down her cheek and place a forehead kiss.

"Aww baby, I will help you in fixing this" Lasya assured her and hearing upon her Sheetal's eyes glow with instant happiness.

Seeing her smiling face Lasya continued, "and for that, you will have to close your beautiful eyes for once and when I ask you, you should then open it and by then your barbie will be alright. What say? Will you close your eyes for me?" Lasya asked with much hesitation thinking whether she will agree to it or not.

Sheetal frowned cause she was asked to close her eyes. But nevertheless, did as she asked and to Lasya's surprise little girl nodded her head and soon closed her eyes. Lasya shook her head seeing her antics and fastly fixes it and it was in such a way that the hand needed a little push over into it's a gap of the holder to get it done.

Lasya easily did and gave it to her happily.

"Okay, it's done. Your barbie Sweetie is all set to go and sleep. You can open your eyes now baby" Lasya said with a gleaming voice and the little girl slowly opened her eyes and looks at her hand, there she saw her fixed Barbie doll has all fixed. She soon got up and hugged Lasya tightly.

"Thank you for your help. I must say I like you so much. You know nobody helped me and told me it has to now throw out. I was very sad thinking about it. Now I feel happy. I don't want to throw my Sweetie and she can be with me always. Thank you so much" Sheetal said and withdrew herself from the hug and looked at her lovingly.
