4 Chapter 4 (1/2)
Saavi hurriedly opened her bag, slipped her hand in and searched for the diary.
”Oh I forgot it on my side table”
She became more excited like her heart beat !
She wanted to ask how did her wish come true. But forgot the diary at home.
Pulled her cycle out of the parking stand and rode towards home in a great speed.
The thoughts regarding her wish were hovering over her head !
That she didn't realized she was riding rash & quiet fast. Moreover in that sensation she didn't saw the cart crossing the lane.
The old man was pus.h.i.+ng his cart full of redish Apples quite big that could be held in fist. Wearing a tattered cream robe covered in dust the man was hardly pus.h.i.+ng. Drenched in sweat his grip got loose and he fell, the cart got stopped in the middle of the lane. When Saavi tried to slow down, pulled the breaks but she was coming quite fast so b.u.mped into the cart.
And fell on her right arm, scratching the upper skin. With the thump of cycle on the ground.
The shopkeepers nearby watching came to help them both. The old woman from the bakery came close and slipped her shoulder under her's and lifted her with strength.
”Are you alright my child?”
Her voice was shrill but sweetness was in what she said.
”Yy...yes I'm fine.”
Saavi replied while she stood up.
The owner of the cart came near her and ___
”I'm sorry my hand just slipped, you got hurt by me”
His voice was anxious. As he saw her arm wounded.
She held his hands tight.
”It's okey uncle I'm fine. It was my mistake I was fast.”
They both smiled.
And Saavi lifted her cycle and drove away.
Left her cycle in the garage and rushed in.
Martha was in the way near staircase when Saavi shouted.
”Martha give way__”
And she went up leaving one step in each three.
And went out of sight. Martha stood stunned putting her hand on heart.
”Oh , these kids !”
Saavi entered into the room and looked around. Martha had done cleaning already. She came near her bed and overlooked for diary on side table.
”Ah ! found it”
She opened the book & looked for a new pen. As her previous was out of ink.
Opened the drawer and__
Wrote.
”How did you do that?”
She was panting and her warm breath was falling on the book.
”What? ”
Answer appeared.
”I made a friend. How did you do that?”
She clearly questioned.
”I told you, I'm a magical diary and can do anything.”
This time it wasn't a simple answer. The pages flipped on their own as if the diary was laughing !
”Thank you.”
The page turned to the one she was writing upon.
”Pleasure, my love.”
And she closed the diary.
Martha entered a few minutes later with clothes and food. She got herself slipped into those & ate.
She was still thinking that such a diary could exist !
Opened her books and started solving the maths sums. The diary was laying in front of her on the bed and Saavi was staring at it time to time.
She again opened it stared at the pages she'd written. And closed it.
She did this three to four times. Thinking that what else should she wish for ?
She opened it again and wrote.
”How many wishes can I make ?”
”Till my pages end !”
The reply filled in happiness.
She closed it. As she didn't wanted to waste any page now in silly conversation !
