With all the scary thoughts scrolling in saachi's mind, she sat there on one side of the road. Suddenly she felt someone coming there. It was some boys. she thought to ask them for help. But she had never asked for someone to help her before and she doesn't know how to ask. Meanwhile, they saw her and came there.

She thought that they would help her but it turned opposite. Those boys started teasing her as she was alone. They seem to be same age as her. She was much afraid. one of the boys observed her to be much scared n told his friends to stop teasing, the girl is scared.
All the boys left but saachi is alone there. Then the boy comes to her to see if she is there or not. The boy found her crying still. He goes to her.

Conversation between boy n girl:-

Boy: I am sahil. what's ur name?

saachi just ignores him without answering. she keeps on crying.

Sahil: If u don't want to tell me, it's ok. Pls ask me if you want any help. We came here for a party n as it became late, we arranged our tents here to stay n we will leave in the morning.

He turned back from her to his tent.

Saachi did not trust him as he along with his friends teased her before some time. But also thought that if they left from there, she would loose her last hope of reaching home n would have to wait there till another people come there.

Saachi: Will u really help me? promise?

Sahil stopped n came to her. Sat down with her holding her hand he told,

Sahil: For sure! so.. friends? (he told with a soft voice) but you should stop crying and tell me what happened.

Saachi stopped crying. She felt it lovely. She remembered only her father used to talk to her like that n not even her mother. She agreed for the friendship. She trusted him n told him what actually happened.

Will he be able to help her?
