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 pushing 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 pushing. 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 !
Did her homework,dressed her wound & slept.
SPROOOOOH !
The voice of the sprouting stardust made her awake. She rubbed her eyes and again the same scene was there. Those b.u.t.terflies & dust everywhere on everything.
She wanted to find the secret of this dust. Thus opened the book to ask it.
But as she flipped the first page the dust vanished.
And the book got closed itself !
Saavi gave a low scream. As the book opened and the pages flipped itself and....
"Who dared to interrupt in my sleep ?"
Saavi got amused with the answer.
"So the golden dust is your snore ?"
She finally asked.
"Yes the stardust is produced by my snore"
She giggled and wondered that a magical diary can sleep & yes it can snore too.
Curiosity killed the cat !
She closed the book and brought it to her bed. Laid down and put the book close to her chest, almost on her heart.
To check whether the book beats !
And in no time she slept.
It was morning by now and the sun was glowing bright. When Saavi woke up & tried to change her side. But felt something heavy on her tummy.
She opened her eyes and__
Someone was sleeping !
With his face on her tummy and laying horizontally on her.
Raven hair and creamy skin it resembled to the guy in her dreams !
She stood up immediately and the guy b.u.mped his head on bed.
Saavi frightened by his presence fell of the bed dragging the bed cloth with her. And this act caused the guy to woke up.
"Who"s there?"
The guy yelled.
"Who"s you ? And what are you doing in my room?"
Saavi asked his without a pause.
"I"m living in your room from past two days !"
He replied brushing his hair and straightening his back.
"What.....? How"s that possible? "
She questioned.
"Wait y....you can see me?"
The asked her in amazement.
"Yes I can you"re a human after all and not invisible! "
"What....? How did I changed ?"
He said looking at his hands.
"What do you mean?"
Saavi was still standing.
"I means I"m your diary. Your Mr Stranger !"
He said giving her a wink.
"But then....how ?"
" I think your heart touched my core yesterday so I changed into this form !"
He laid down again on his left side by putting his arm under head.
"But why didn"t you changed at the first place?"
" well I don"t know that either! "
He yawned.
Saavi came close to bed & sat at the corner. Looked into his eyes.
Those green____
Alluring eyes !
She was stunned when the door knocked.
Martha"s voice stuck her ears and a wave of fear moved in her body.
