Teja looked at Sonu and Rani carefully and then placed her hands gently on Rani and Sonu's head . " Hey don't worry there is nothing to be afraid of it's ok calm down " saying this her tone was soft and melodic that both Rani and Sonu calmed down.
Teja looked at Sonu gently and gave her a soft smile , Sonu was also looking at Teja carefully as though an angel came to her rescue as this soft exchange was taking place sudhir said " Teja didi she doesn't have a family !! " Teja turned towards them with a sharp glare.
Both the boys shut their mouths seeing that Teja got angry . " Who said she doesn't have a family her family is right here we are her family I am her family "
" But didi .. " dhiraj try to say in a shaky voice. " But what ? If you have to say anything more say it to me I am their family"
Both the boys looked at each other They were terrified of Teja so they shook their heads and ran away . Teja was glaring at them the whole time . Behind her Rani and Sonu were smiling seeing the two tall boys run like a dog whose tail is between their legs. Sonu stepped toward Teja and held her hand . Teja looked down at Sonu and saw Sonu's smiling face . " So you are my family right so what should I call you ? "
Teja looked at Sonu's innocent face she was amused seeing someone approach her for the 1st time as she is grumpy most of the time even people above her age don't really talk to her Rani was a bit concerned for Sonu because even she is not able to talk to Teja because of her temper. " Hmm how old are you two?" Rani and Sonu were a bit surprised especially Rani she never thought that Teja can be so gentle with them she always thought Teja was scary.
Rani replied " umm we are.. same age 7 year old" Teja hummed in response.
" Then you can call me sister ok " Teja smiled at Rani and Sonu. Rani and Sonu looked at each other while grinning ear to ear . Rani said " sis can you teach me how to make a scary face like you and keep bad people away I want to protect Sonu she is so fragile " Teja raised an eyebrow did Rani is teasing her on purpose or just really doesn't know .
" But just now someone else was more scared then her you know it was you right little Missy ?" Rani quickly shook her head in response. Sonu made a pouty face she didn't like Rani saying that she is fragile.
" Hey ranu you are the fragile one sis teach me so I can protect ranu "
" Hey monkey you are the fragile one "
" No baby lizard you are fragile keep your tail safe ok "
Teja laughed seeing kids Becker like this although they only have one year of difference it seems Rani and Sonu are more childish. " Ok stop it lizard and monkey you have me so you don't need to learn how to make a scary face ok I will protect you both" both of them looked at Teja and shouted " hey sister why are you teasing us"
Teja smiled " ok I won't tease you anymore but don't worry I will protect you forever"
Rani and Sonu looked at each other then at Teja " pinky promise " Teja grinned
" Yes pinky promise " Rani and Sonu smiled at Teja and it was a teethy smile .
It is hard to believe but Teja finally found it her family.
Flash back ...
Teja saw Rani and Sonu being bullied by two boys she thought to herself " again how many times do I have to save minion from these types of bully " but thinking about the bullying she received when she was 5 year old she can't help it she just doesn't want anyone to go through anything like that .
When she was small many families came for adoption but every time they would reject her so the big kids here always use to say to her that she is just a piece of trash.
When she walked closer to Sonu and Rani she heard them say the exact same thing she had heard in which made her freez in one place but seeing Sonu and Rani's faces it reminded her that she has to be strong for them .
The things she heard she cannot forget.
A piece of trash that no one wants. And she doesn't have a family , she used to cry a lot thinking why she doesn't have a family or does she did something wrong but as she grew she realised it was never her fault that she was left in the dark with no light of hope to hold. From then she decided to protect these children from the bullying, at times living in an orphanage is more hard
At present...
Sonu and Rani were hugging Teja like panda babies Teja was smiling the whole time as the two pandas continued to Becker in front of her . Teja thought silently in her heart
" So finally I have a family too " while looking at the lizard and monkey Becker with each other.
