Chapter 17 - the Little boy

Jacob enquires and rushes to the hospital twinkle's in... Jacob rushes towards her room and he is stopped by a five year old boy...

"you must be jacob?"

"I don't have time for autograph or for taking a picture with you"

"you're here for twinkle right?"

"how do you know her? where is she ? is she alright?"

"Aman uncle told me that twinkle is taken to the exam room... it's her test today"

"what test? nevermind I have to go"

"wait, you can not disturb her... I will tell you about her...but before that I am hungry buy me some candy"

Jacob buys the little boy a candy and he starts to tell how he knew twinkle...

My name is taekwon and I am 5 years old... I live in an orphanage where twinkle volunteered...nobody spoke to me when I first came there, nobody shared their toys with me,all the teachers would believe that I did bad...kids used to hit me but no one would listen..one day twinkle came to our orphanage...she saw me standing outside our study session...she tried to talk to me but I was scared so I ignored her...

Jacob listens to him very attentively...

she started coming there very often and I loved it because she never called me a bad kid...she bought new toys for everyone, all the kids were happy but they did not want me to play with them... I was sad but twinkle bought me toys too...she said they were mine...whenever she bought toys and candies she shared them with me...she became my friend...she used to take me out...we used to ice cream together, play in the park together, one day she took me to a pet shelter too... I wanted to have one..but I could not ask her... I never felt alone, I felt happy because I had her...

one day she came to pick me up from school...it was the most best and worst day...

my classmates laughed at me for not having mom and dad...they say my parents left me because I am bad... I cried and saw twinkle waiting for me outside... I thought she would not want me too...instead she hugged me took me to an ice cream parlor and then to a park...she told me my parents were very good people...they had to leave me because god was lonely and needed help...they knew twinkle would come and help me from all the bad kids...twinkle told me that god is calling her too to help him...

Jacob notices him being sad...he asks taekwon to sit on his lap...

taekwon goes and sits on his lap and continues ...

she says she is on waiting list...(giggling very loud) do you know that she scolded god for me? she told me that she told god that she does not want to help him...she loves me so much that she want to stay with me...so god said if she can pass in this exam she can be with me and she told she will become my mom...and then we will come to you and ask you to be my dad...but if she fails I have to go back to the orphanage with Aman uncle... I don't want to go...

(taekwon hugs Jacob and starts crying)

everyone is going home ... I want to come home with you too... I am also scared of exams but I wrote mine well today...twinkle has to write well today... I don't want to talk to twinkle when she lives on a star...

tears streaming down Jacob's face... Jacob promises taekwon that even if twinkle fails he would still love to become his father and he'd take him home....

many hours later...

the doctors come out of the room...
