" This child," Mia whispered to herself with a cheerful smile and within a seconds Aurora stepped on the road, and before Mia could say anything she looked at the truck which was coming towards Aurora.
She looked there and her body started feeling lifeless, she shouted but her voice was not able to come out of her mouth, her whole body was shaking from the fears.
The shopping bags that she was carrying fell down from her weak shaking hands. Auden looked at Mia who was standing there like a lifeless stone; before he could understand anything Mia started running on the road. He looked at the direction where she was running and noticed Aurora who was standing there like a statue and the truck was about to hit her. His breath became heavy from fear and he started running there with Mia and they looked at the truck which went away after crossing the place where Aurora was standing.
The truck driver was trying his best to stop it but it stopped after hitting someone.
The driver got afraid after looking at the child who appeared from nowhere and when the truck stopped he went out of it and looked at the man who was holding Aurora.
Ivan was holding Aurora and tightly and the blood was coming from his one hand.
Ivan's golden eyes were filled with tears and he was holding Aurora tightly like she is an important part of his life.
He looked at the Aurora worriedly and started scanning his body with teary eyes.
"Are you fine?" he asked Aurora while scanning her hands and legs.
Aurora was standing and her eyes were fixed on the blood which had covered the shirt of Ivan, "You are wounded" she said in the shaky voice.
Ivan ignored her words and shouted, "You…. Know how dangerous it is to roam and play on the roads and you are playing as if it is a park…. If I was not here, I would lose you…. Do you have any idea how much you meant FOR ME". His voice was angry and sad at the same time.
"FOR YOU", Aurora said in a weak voice and started looking at the man who saved her from nowhere.
Auden and Mia went there hurriedly and looked at the Aurora who was talking to Ivan.
Mia was looking at them without saying anything and her eyes became wet.
" she is fine," he said gently to Mia.
Ivan was still looking at the Aurora while holding his tears forcefully.
"I am fine Superman," Aurora said to Ivan and wiped his tears; he hugged her tightly.
"Please take care of yourself," he said with mixed emotions.
"I will, but you need to go to the hospital," she said and kissed on the head of Ivana and wiped his tears again.
Auden and Mia were still looking at them and a strong voice came from the back.
"Are you fine, kid" the driver of the truck asked in an afraid voice. He took a deep breath while looking at the Aurora who was standing there.
Auden looked at him and ran towards him angrily; "can you drive properly" he asked while going towards him.
The driver got afraid from the aura of Auden and replied in a shaky voice," the child ..appeared ….suddenly."
"Why are you driving fastly," he asked.
"I was at normal speed" the driver replied and made him aware of reality.
"Leave him, Auden," Mia said in a strong voice and Auden stopped going towards that man.
Mia's words were like a force in his life which made his anger go away.
Aurora looked at Mia and ran towards her. Aurora's blood was racing from the fear and from outside she was looking like a shocked child.
She hugged Mia tightly and Mia took her in her hands. As soon as Mia hugged Aurora, tears started flowing down from her eyes.
Ivan wipes her tears and with a strong face, he stands up and starts going away from there as he never exists there. His whole body was feeling pain but that was not more than the pain which was in his heart. His lonely hand was waiting for someone's company and a soft hand held his hand tightly, he looked backward and saw Aurora who was holding his hand with a bright smile, and then he looked at Mia who was standing there with teary eyes with Auden.
He smiled towards Aurora and said, "I will meet you soon" in a gentle voice.
"You don't need to go away…. to meet me soon" Aurora replied and his heart started feeling more pain.
"Who," Aurora said with a blank face
"Mia" He answered while patting his head.
"She is not my mother." She replied while looking at the ground. He smiled while looking at her lying skills and tried to take Aurora in his hands his wounded hand started hurting.
He touched his hand while smiling at the Aurora.
Aurora held his hand and dragged him with herself. She wasn't using any force but he couldn't resist himself from going with her.
She dragged him towards Mia who was standing there quietly.
"Let's go to the hospital," Aurora said to her while looking at his wounded hand.
Mia nodded in front of her and without saying anything and rushed towards the car.
She was about to start her car but Auden held her and hugged her tightly; she was standing there and Auden's breath was touching her face.
Mia nodded and after giving keys to him, she sat on the passenger seat quietly.
Auden took a car toward the Aurora who was standing with Ivan.
Aurora said Ivan sat there in it and he did the same without saying anything.
Aurora was sitting beside him and she was worried about him more than others.
.
.
They all were standing beside the bed and Ivan was sitting there with his dressed hands.
His one hand got a deep cut from the truck and another hand one bone got broked.
He was admitted to the hospital for a day.
Ivan looked at the shining eyes of Aurora and with a smile, she nodded.
Mia starts giving an apple to Ivan and while giving she said, "thank you for saving Aurora"
"Aurora" He replied in a deep voice.
"Yes, this is my name," Aurora said with a smile.
"Oh! There is no need to say thank you, it was my duty….. To save the child" he replied with a smile and started looking at the Aurora who was writing on his hand.
Auden was looking at the man whom he hates the most because Ivan used to flirt with Mia and currently he was quietly looking at him because he saved the child he loves the most i.e. Aurora.
Mia looked at the hand of Ivana and took the marker from Aurora and wrote, "Get well soon"; she also made a smiling face beside the sentence.
He smiled while looking at the silly face and that made Auden uncomfortable.
Auden too went there and took the marker and wrote," Get a single girl soon" and also made a smiling face there.
Auden looked at their shocked face and said, " I am leaving" he said so Mia and Aurora came with him.
"Bye" Mia and Aurora replied at the same time that made him cry without tears.
He looked at them while thinking one of them would stop him but it didn't happen.
"... Ahem.. Mia…" he said with a red face.
"Yes" Mai replied blankly
"I am going, it is hard to get a taxi from here. If you want to go, I can accompany you" he said and his nose increased by an inch.
"I will stay here" Mia answered and after listening to this Aurora looked at Auden and Mia and realized she was clearly looking at her sinking ship.
" Don't you have to buy sweets?" Aurora asked
"I will buy later"
"It's just 2:00 pm, you can go and buy and after that, you can pick me," Aurora said with a smile.
"...." Mia looked at her as she didn't want to leave her alone.
"Hey, I am fine and this man too," Aurora said while pinching the cheeks of Ivan
