Underground

John was mostly active. He used to make friends with only a few words. One day he told Veronica about his new friend. A boy who came into the orphanage on that day.

John said that the kid lost his mother and John can't even think of a life without John's mother. She promised him that she will never leave his side.

As days passed John came to know more about that boy. His name was Naami. The church people gave him another name which was Darvin. Darvin was too shy to talk, even to John after they became friends. One day Darvin came running. He stopped in front of John. John was reading a book. He asked,

"What happened Darv? Why are you running?"

Darvin was breathing heavily. He was too tired too. Still he managed to steady his breathing and said,

"John, I need your help. It's about my mother."

Saying that he started breathing heavily again. He continued,

"My mother John. It's my mother. She's here. I saw her. I saw her."
