The two green eyes met and glanced at each other for an infinite amount of time. Elizabeth felt a wave of current in her body. The skiny pale boy, with golden brown hair and green eyes reminded him of somebody from past. His eyes were sad and deep but extremely familier. He was dressed in a cute yellow pikachoo outfit.
He came closer to Elizabeth and looked in her eyes, his face expressionless.
"You too have green eyes." Elizabeth bent down and glanced at the boy"s face lovingly. The boy did not reply but shrugged his shoulders in response.
Her heart raced as she glanced closely at the boy! She suddenly hugged the boy lovingly, not knowing reason of her sudden outburst.
Even Aurthor and Samantha could not help but notice the coincidental resemblance of the two. Same hair texture and color, same se green eyes and pale skin, the sharp jaw and round eye brows. Nevertheless, they were happy to see the famous celebrity meeting the boy happily.
Elizabeth hugged him for a long time and the boy did not react at all. She finally retraced her arms and looked at the boy"s melonchaly face. She hurridly opened her bag and took out a yellow colored small candy. "Here! I really like this. May be you will like it too. Try it."
The boy glanced at the candy doubtfully and finally moved his hand to take it. He peeled the packet and inserted it in his mouth. The boy"s green eyes twinkled in joy and surprise!
Elizabeth laughed at the boy"s cute expressions! The candy was actually a sour mango flavored one, not liked by many. But the boy seemed to have loved it too, just like her.
"You like it too? It"s my favourite." Elizabeth patted his head lovingly. Rhehan finally nodded in response, savouring the taste of the candy. Elizabeth took out a few more candys from her bag and stuffed it lovingly in the boy"s pocket. Rhehan finally smiled at the lady!
The moment he smiled, Elizabeth"s heart raced again. Till the age of 13, Elizabeth had a huge gap between her upper, frontal middle teeth. The gap was much more than normal, which was automatically corrected till a set of fresh permanent teeth replaced. The boy in front of him had the same kind of gap too!
Could he be my son? No how is this possible? He died before my eyes! But this boy? Why do I feel an uncanny resemblance? His habbits too! The way he walks and shrugs his shoulders! Same eyes and hair! Elizabeth"s mind"s was going dizzy looking at the boy but she mantained a calm and happy front.
The boy finally opened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders again. "Do you like animals too?"
"Yes dear! I love animals. When I was of your age, I used to bring every stray dog to my house."
The boy"s eyes twinkled again, revealing his frontal tooth gap again.
The Graham couple stood aside glancing at the two. They were happy that the boy was making them earn brownie points!
"Do you know I played with Lions and monkeys? Will you believe me? n.o.body in the orphange believed me." The little boy tilted his head in antic.i.p.ation, as if his life depended on her answer.
"Offcourse I believe you sweetheart". Elizabeth gave a little peck on his cheek, making the boy blush. The boy was happy to have somebody believe his tales.
"Oh! I forgot to ask, What"s your name sweety." Elizabeth looked at the happy boy.
"Rhehan....Rhehan Graham."
