8. Favour

After hearing her name Suru glanced up at him and was surprised. She fixed her glasses while getting up

She stood up in front of him. The man looked sideways and leaned a little on the reception desk in between them

'The research you gave me on market trends...' he said softly as to prevent people from hearing them

'Amazing!!... My boss was impressed' he talked to her smiling

Suru also gave him a smile happy with his compliment

'Suru...' he called her again and beckons her to lean forward

They both leaned towards each other with the desk between them

'I need a favour from you' he finally said

'My office has organized a happy summer party for underprivileged children' he continued

Suru kept listening to him smiling as he kept saying

'But the guy who was supposed to dress up as the bear fell sick'

Suru looked at him frowning slightly

'So... Can you dress up as the dancing bear?' the man asked her with a sweet voice

Suru's smile faded and she moves back a little straightening herself

The man kept looking at her with a slight smile on his face

Suru didn't answer him. She looked down and took the books in front of him quietly that he brought

He grabbed her hands as she was taking the books

'Please don't say no' he said softly

'It's for charity'

Suru looked up at him again

'It's my Boss's wife's pet project' he explained while still looking at her

'Please do me a big favour... And say yes'

'Please'

He looked at her pitifully and nodded at her

Suru smile and seems convinced. She nodded back at him agreeing to the favour he had asked.

The man smiled back and placed one of his hand on her head while the other was still holding her hands

He thanked her while patting her head and turn to go back

After he trun back suru smiled and touched her head where he placed his hand

Next day at the party

He brought her the bear suit and she changed herself into that. He passed the big bear face mask to her.

She removed her glasses, her hairs still in messy braids as she put the mask on

He then took her to the party location

Everyone welcomes the bear with cheers and clapping

As the bear enters the room all the kids smiled and clapped. Bear danced in front of them, she waived her hands to the kids.

Everyone was happy inside the room smiling and clapping. She thought that even she is also enjoying it as she keep dancing and moving her hands.

With a song playing in the background

Things that touch your heart say

Hi Hi Hi to them!

Things that hurts your heart say

Bye Bye Bye to them!

Let them come, Let them in to the heart

Say Hi Hi to the smiles!

Let them go, Let them go out of the heart

Say Bye Bye to the anxieties!

Love you Zindgi(life)

Love you my life!

Love me my life!!

She jumped around and was playing with the kids giving them balloons. She seems happy but was not going to be happy for a long time.
