CHAPTER 29- THE LITTLE GIRL


    Ryan was squashed beneath the chair but he was strong enough to survive the crash without getting


    injured; he creaked before feeling someone helping him stand up. Jack held up the boy and started


    checking him for injuries, “Bro, are you okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”


    The survivor stumbled on his feet; his head was dizzy because of the impact. It took him few seconds


    to stabilize himself and mumble, “Fine...” The twods were so consumed in checking each other that


    the two didn’t notice a little frail figure in white gown reaching out to timidly pull the corner of Ryan’s


    shirt.


    Feeling something disturbing him the boy dropped his eye down just to get himself stunned; it was a


    little girl much shorter than him. She had a round face with clear skin, her eyes were big and round with


    long curly eyeshes. A tiny nose and quivering pink lips like newly bloomed cherry blossom


    clips holding back her bangs.


    This was Ryan’s first time seeing such a small creature; he didn’t have a sister and was homeschooled


    since he was young and thus, he had never seen a girl with this close proximity. He stared stunned into


    her beautiful eyes which were pooling with tears which were about to pour down.


    Ryan’s face had nothing but expressions of amusement and adoration; he had heard of angels but it


    was his first time seeing one. She was really cute that he didn’t want to take his eyes off this little


    creature.


    Her quivering lips slowly parted to push out something snivelling, “D... did I hurt you?”


    Ryan felt goosebumps rise all over his body hearing her voice; it was his first time listening to


    something his soothing and pure. Her childish voice resembled that of chirping, mellow and warm.


    Seeing that the boy whom she just hurt by ident wasn’t replying the young girl assumed that he was


    mad at her and was giving her a silent treatment.


    “Big brother, I didn’t hurt you in purpose. I am good, I would never do that...” With a tone with was


    almost cracking at this point the little girl continued, “Please don’t hate me andin to Daddy; he


    will snatch away my candies.”


    Tears started to trickle down her eyes and it was the sound of her sobbing that pped Ryan back to


    reality. “Oh God...” he freaked out before scanning the little girl; even her crying was as alluring as a


    rainbow. He looked at Jack only to find him staring back and forth at him and the mysterious little girl.


    Ryan’s mind, which was crashed like anything all this time, finally started to act up. Jogging down his


    memories he managed to make a rough sketch that maybe it was this girl who was riding the chairs


    which crashed onto him.


    The boy kneeled down to match her height; the girl had her head hanging pitifully out of guilt. He gently


    touched her chin and slowly lifted her head; Ryan had never touched anything this tender and soft, she


    was so fragile that he handled her with care lest he hurt her. The girl propped up with his efforts and


    stared directly into his eyes which were only few meters away. Her eyes were still raining down and


    Ryan couldn’t help but get his stone heart melt down. He smiled at her and said in aforting tone,


    “It’s okay, I am not hurt.”


    The girl stood there tugging on his t shirt and weeping and started to slow down after Ryan assured


    that he was neither angry nor hurt. Her lips curled up into a smile and even though her eyes were still


    pooled up she had stopped sobbing at this point. Ryan lived in a world where one couldn’t even trust


    the one who im themselves the most trustworthy; all he was taught in life was to be alert, fierce and


    never let his guard down. This made him believe that world was everything but pure but today, after


    meeting this piece of Heaven, Ryan started to think otherwise- maybe there are still some good things


    left on Earth and this girl he held was one of them.


    A strange yet splendorous emotion started to well up in his heart as he looked at her, something he had


    never felt before. The girl’s smile grew wider and wider before she started beaming her row of perfectly


    white teeth, “Big brother, I will share my snacks and toys with you as a ‘sorry’.”


    Ryan casted his rare smile making Jack pinch himself out of disbelief; he was wondering if he had


    passed out of the crash and was still dreaming when he heard his friend reply, “Okay!”


    The girl became so happy that she pped her hands out of joy, she held his hand and started leading


    him. “Come with me, big brother. It’s been a long time since anyone apanied me to y.”


    Ryan nced at Jack with eyes which said- follow me and behave. Jack could only huff and follow the


    two as the shameless uninvited guest. The little girl was a bundle of joy when she lead the boy in to the


    second half of the room; it had another set of sofa with the same setting- the only difference was that...

    It had a lot of toys scattered all around.


    The little girl looked behind at Ryan, her face brightened with a alluring smile and it was when she


    noticed another head following them. She was so overjoyed that she couldn’t help but squeal, “Dear


    goodness, I have two friends to y with her now.” Jack and Ryan looked at each other before the girl


    left them to getfortable.


    “Do you have any idea who she is?” Ryan whispered to his friend looked at the girl who was busily


    finding something. Jack nodded, “I have no idea who she is and where she came from.” “I know what


    she is...” Ryan said in a mellow tone and continued, “She is an angel.”


    Jack threw a piercing nce at his friend who seemed to be muddling but before he could say anything


    the girl bounced back to them. She had a handful of snacks in her petite hands, some even fell on the


    floor as she couldn’t hold them. She ced them in front of the two boys and smiled, “This is all for


    you, big brothers.”


    She tore a lollipop and passed it to Ryan, “Here, have this, big brother.” Jack looked at the naive girl,


    his friend hated candies since he was a kid. He opened his mouth to say that he don’t like candies,


    “Little girl, our Ryan don’t... Aaahh!” Jack didn’t spill the rest of the sentence but groaned as he felt a


    sharp pain sail through his thigh. He looked down to realise it was Ryan who pinched him; the boy


    immediately threw a betrayed nce at his friend but what he saw next made his eyes pop out.


    “Looks delicious!” Ryanmented before epting her little treat and shoving it in his mouth. The


    candy was too sweet that he couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows but slowly his tongue licked around


    and got ustomed to it. He smiled at her, “It’s really tasty.”


    Catherine was really happy, she excitedly too another candy and passed it to Jack. Jack paused for a


    moment before epting the candy; he couldn’t help but admire her pureness.


    The girl sat down on her little chair and took her toy, slowly cing all her concentration in ying with


    it. Ryan looked at her and asked calmly, “What is your name?” The little girl looked up at them before


    saying, “Daddy says... Never say your name to strangers! But I will say... My name is Catherine.”


    “Catherine...” Ryan muttered under his breath; even her name was as alluring as her soul.
