Mr Sharma got up immediately. Next to him an old lady was sitting. She turned her face towards these two. She was around 70 years old. Mr sharma spoke, "come inside my children". Then he continued, " I am also not able to accept Kanika is not with us.She was a very good human being. She treated me like her father only. Being orphan, we were only her family. Even you three were more attached to her being childhood companion.

Vishakha spoke wiping her tears, " I lost not only childhood best friend. She was like my sister. She was everything to me. I still remember the day when she fought with a girl who pushed me at orphan house".

They became emotional. Mr sharma offered water to her and told both of them, "sit here my kids". Vishakha was drinking water and she looked at old lady. Mr sharma also noticed and introduced lady.

Kids," she is my mother". "Mom" they both are Kanika's childhood friends, collegus and everything. They told hello to her even she replied with formal hello with a smile. Vishakha was feeling uneasy. She asked for one more glass of water. Mr. Sharma poured water in glass and extended his hand to give her Class. She Also came a bit forward. And glass broke. Vishakha shouted,"Vihan. Vihan. Vihan".

Everyone was shocked. Karan also saw in same direction. He saw vihan standing there. He looked at Vishakha and spoke, " Vishu, he is alive" they ran towards him. Mr sharma was shocked. He also ran behind them.

Vishakha shook Vihan's shoulder and shouted "why are you closing your eyes"? Open and see. We are here. Me and Karan.

He opened his eyes, "those were red". Vishakha shouted. Karan was also scared. They ran towards door. Vishakha fainted at door. Karan Saw vishkhan on floor. Even Mr sharma came. Karan lifted her and make her sleep on sofa. Mr sharma called doctor.

Mr. Sharan was shocked with their behavior. Karan became very weak. Seeing vishkha like this. Tears rolled down from his eyes. Mr Sharma consoled him.

He spoke smoothly, Karan what is this? Who is vihan? Why did you run to that direction?. Can I tell you something? If you don't mind.dont take it in any way. I m just concerned.
