Sitara snapped her head up and turned towards the door listening the soft voice. Surprise flashed in her eyes on noticing the guest standing at the doorway with a hesitant expression.
"Neil?!" She called him out feeling too surprised to see him there. She stared at the boy for a brief moment while lost in thoughts.
She was just remembering him at morning, and also asked the trio about his wellbeing.
She felt surprised to see him here, and was also confused about who brought him here! But then her daze broke on noticing the hurtful look on the boy's face after failing to receive her attention.
She could see how he was looking at her tearfully, with longing in his eyes.
"Come inside, sweetheart!" She said opening her arms for the boy to ran in.
The boy finally looked a little bit better, and stared at her for another moment. Then slowly approached her.
