2 Soulless doll.

Luna crossed her finger with his finger. "I promise.". 

A Pleasing smile came on at Little One's face. His smile was showing the happiness of that moment and leaving behind the state of sadness at the same time. Standing there he was shining like a small star.

For Luna, It felt like she had been sleeping for decades. Not even a small beam crossed her tenebrous world before then how could such a shining thing enter it?

She was looking at him as if she was finding an unconventional being which appeared in an unexpected place. With a hollow expression and vapid eyes she touched his head, then pulled him close as smoothly as someone picked a newly born baby.

Her pain began to come out. The emotions she kept hiding somewhere far away were emerging up all of sudden.

How did this happen? She never ever thought that she would neglect her own little bunny with such rudeness. He was so precious to her. He was someone whom she never forgot to adore even in her dreams.

She remembered, It wasn't the first time when he  aimed to meet her. He made many unsuccessful attempts. However, He never even got a chance to come inside the room. Because the door was always closed. Hence, He kept roaming around it.

To tell the truth, She was thinking of giving up her life. What else had left in her life aside endless sereneness and disgust. Sometimes the ocean of her anguish drived her as restless as mentally disordered person.

She wasn't able to find a way to wash the slovenliness which was crawling all over her body like moths. Yet something it left her in a long unendurable numbness.

However, at this moment, she was getting as if someone had emerged in her darkness while offering a hand. Like a ray of hope he appeared. In these two months she was feeling pain for the first time. Otherwise, All time she considered herself as a dead body who never felt emotions, suffering or anything.

Even when she heard her parents had passed away, She didn't react as if she was resembling herself as a soulless doll. 

And the reason why she became like this was that dark black night. That cursed night swallowed her parents, destroyed her life and snatched her honor. Even, God didn't interfere. He let it happen. why? what crime she did which she had to pay like this ?

"sister sister."

 huh.... As his voice echoed her thoughts dissolved.

"Do not cry , you look ugly when you " He continued while wiping her tears.

But she didn't respond.

"sister, I made a drawing"

"_? drawing? She thought in her mind.

Without waiting for her answer. He said, "One minute,I will show you." And moves towards the door.

After reaching the door he turned around. 

When she saw him standing there, He was reflecting himself like a homeless child. It didn't take much time to assume her. What was going on in his tiny mind. 

she responded. "I will not close the door."

He nodded,

Afterwards, He came back from his room while holding a book in his hands. 

"look,I've drawn everyone. Mom - dad ,me and you".  His action may seem strange to her but For him all his heart was craving for some little more warmth.

"It's beautiful" Her emotions flow out through the eyes and they become watery..

He had no intention to make her cry. For this he hasn't brought the drawing book. He wished to see her smile. He put the book aside and raised his hands, while putting them around her neck and hugged her tightly.

Luna calmed herself after taking some time.

"Are you okay sister?" He asked while his eyes were wide open like a little puppy.

"Yes." She replied in a slow voice.

Though, it wasn't the right moment to feel happy but Somewhere in a corner of his heart the happiness was overflowing. It's been long since he didn't get embraced by her. He had no idea what had happened to her. Why his sister had become oblivious to him. But now she had backed and he wasn't able neglect the feeling of joy despite all circumstances.

"Can I sleep with you?" with hesitation little one asked.

Luna was looking at him blankly.

"Sister, please only for tonight...huh."

She touched his face and agreed.

Since She raised him like her own child so he turned someone who can live without her parents but not without her. When she went to the UK to do her BCA degree. He was stuck on stubbornness to come along. He refused eating and continuously  crying to go with her. Thus, the result came out that he had become sick. However, when her parents found no solution to that situation they sended both of them to study together.

There were many reasons why he was so close and clingy towards her.

-------------

Luna's father and Grandmother didn't have a good relationship but still the only person who came out for them was their grandmother. 

Due to her second son's  betrayal she also lost her home. Hence, currently three of them are staying at Grandma's childhood friend. David Brown.

It was already dinner time. Little one, holded her hand and brought her down.

On the dining table…..

An old man was sitting on the main seat and Grandmother (Merry Garcia) was sitting next to him. When they saw Little one came along with Luna.  Their faces turned as if they had seen a ghost. 

It was because Luna never came to dinner with everyone.

While everyone was in shock she pulled the chair and sat down on it. Little one sat next to her and both grandparents were still staring at them.

Little one saw both of them and asked  "What's happened Grandma".

"No...nothing. Alex." Grandma answered while waving her hands in the air.

Grandma was pleased to spot her there. She was hoping for Luna to escape from the room. Even after that horrible disaster had happened with her. Even if it was really difficult to forget but still she should get out of that hallhole and move on. 

Because of family disputes, It became rare to meet her grandchildren. She didn't know Luna properly nor she had a meeting with her. They didn't have proper conversion even once. Though there were some gatherings and parties where they bumped into each other. However, all of them prefer to ignore one another. 

Even, all those circumstances, she always wished to meet with those two children who were separated because of elders. But it was impossible.

It was a truth that she and her son had builded a strong wall between them and it was broken on the day when her son met with his dead end.

She never thought on the day when she got her Granddaughter the situation was like that.

Grandma looked at her scenic face, How could someone be so merciless with such an innocent child? She thought and sighed. "Luna! you have come?"

Luna took a minute then answered. "Yes grandma."

"How are you? Child!" Old man also asked.

 "I'm fine Mr. Devid."

"Mr. Devid?" Old Man repeated surprisingly then with a gentle smile he replied while making himself clear.  "Child, Your grandma and grandfather and I were old ailes. So, No need to be polite. Just called me grandpa. For me You are like my own granddaughter."

Not thinking much she nodded,

Old Man smiled with satisfaction. Sustainably he remembered that He had also invited his grandson and his assistant (Mark).  But they both didn't present there. So, Old Man was about to command a servant to call them but before he could do so they appeared.

Arthur took a chair next to him and Mark next to Arthur. After their arrival, servants serve the food for everyone.

All of them had started eating except  Luna. She didn't even touch chopsticks.

Little One noticed her and he picked a meat piece from his plate and raised his chopsticks towards Luna direction.

She sees his tiny hands offering her to eat. 

"Sister, You always feed me. let me feed you today"

Luna never liked to spill  her dirty laundry in public. However, right now all she wants to cry and cry until the sea of her tears dried but she can't do it in front of everyone.

Silently she reached at his chopsticks and gulped the meat piece as well as the storm of emotions.
