" Karan escort him to the airport I will reach there after I am over with him "
The man nodded and held the hands of the child guarding him towards a limousine.
" Sir please take seat the driver will reach soon" The young boy sat in the car and was waiting for the driver to come.
Soon after a mam with a white uniform, sunglasses and a black mask. The boy was quite suspicious but he, shrugged them off. The car started to go to a dark lane and abruptly stopped.
" Why are we here?" The boy questioned feeling quite anxious. Suddenly a man with a mask covered the boys face and dragged him towards an abandoned building.
The boy kept struggling but his hold was very strong.
He kept struggling, and was about to loose his consciousness, a girl of about his age, wearing a Taekwondo dress was throwing rocks towards his attackers. As soon as the man's grip loosed from the boy's neck, she kicked the man's head knocking him out of his senses.
She took the boy's hand " Run or they will catch us ". They ran towards her house which was quite near the abandoned building without uttering a single word, trying to control their wild breaths.
" Come have some food, my parents will return tomorrow so you can stay here for today and contact your parents later. " The mysterious savior said.
" Umm... What's your name? " The boy asked mouthing his thoughts.
" Oh my name is Eshana. Eshana Sharma. And what about you? " She answered while giving him a sandwich and a milkshake.
" I am Arhan. Arhan khurana. " He answered while digging into his food.
When he finished his food, they started talking to each other.
"So tell me something about you "
" I like sweets the most especially cakes. And I love fighting, though I was forced to learn it, never thought these skills would come to use some day. I love spending time woth my friends and my family. There's nothing more about me. Tell me something about you" She simply answered to which he just nodded.
" I dont have much to know. I am always busy in studying, my father always says that I have to take over his business so I have to be the best in studies. "
" Umm if you wouldn't mind then why were the men trying to kidnap you "
" Even I dont know maybe some rivals of my parents or something " He clearly was uncomfortable answering the question so she decided to change the subject.
" So whats your favorite colour?''
He rubbed his chin acting as if he was thinking a lot, his actions made Eshana giggle.
" Hmmm its a quite tough question.... I guess its blue and whats yours? "
" Black "
" Eww its so horrific color who likes it" He said scrunching his nose to which she glared shutting him up.
" I like black because it means power,elegance, knowledge and its very cool. It means that theres always darkness before light " She explained.
"Even then black is the colour of darkness and is an evil color I guess" He tried to prove his point.
"So why do you like blue the most "
He looked up towards the ceiling and smiled sadly " It was the favorite color of my mother. She used to say that this color symbolises freedom" After several several seconds he added quietly " Something which I die for "
She realised that had touched the sensitive point so she tried to change the subject
" I think you should contact your parents its getting late." Eshana suggested.
"Ya you are right. My dad would surely freak out "
He took the telephone and dialed the contact number of his das's number which he remembered from heart and also after his mother's death he never changed it . After two rings he answered the call
" Hello dad "
"Arhan my boy. Thank god you are safe and sound. Tell me where are you I will be coming there at the moment. "
"Dad I am at my friend's house. She saved me from those kidnappers. I dont know whats the adress. She will tell you " He answered handing the phome to Eshana who told him the adress, after that they again started to chat, but were disturbed by a cat horn.
" I guess my dad's here " He spoke signalling to the door.
To say,Arhan was sad would be an understatement, she was a very amazing girl and was the first friend he ever made in life, but unfortunately he could never meet her again because they had to go to America for his higher studies.
Eshana was also very sad but didn't want to show her expression on her face so she masked it up with her small smile but little did she know that he could actually read her, amd knew that she was also sad.
The door opened, revealing his dad, who wad wearing and expensive looking coat and a gold watch. His hair was all messed up as of he had ran through them many times in frustration.
Arhan ran towards his father and hugged him tightly sobbing on his shoulder. " I thought i will never find you " He sobbed until there were no more tears in his eyes.
He came towards Eshana, crouching down to her level, he held her hands " Thank you. I don't even have words to describe how grateful I am for you to save my son. "
Eshana was more than shocked so she shyly said " Uncle there's no need to thank me. I just did what I felt was right"
After some time they left with a heavy heart they both bid their goodbyes, they knew that maybe they would never meet again but there was a small hope that they could meet again.
