Coming to grips

Arjun was unsettled by Maenu's unexpected behaviour, why was she in a sudden rush?

“Maenu what’s wrong, why are you in this hurry all out of a sudden?

Sagrika turned towards him impatiently, “Juno, if she didn't remember you, she might have forgotten about her recovery from that fear as well! It’s plausible, given that you were the one with whose help she had overcome her fear.” Her eyes softened, she touched his cheek affectionately and said, “I really appreciate your courage and sincerity. You helped her recover inspite of your own fears, you were always a brave kid.”

Arjun finally understood the scenario now and nodded to Sagrika, then quickly asked the waiter for their bill.

Mr.Raturi, the principal, was also alarmed after seeing Arjun and Sagrika’s reactions, but he was still processing the developments about Manya’s life. He still suspected that the truth was different, but he had no choice but to accept this scenario for want of further information.
