Mom

Anna don't know what to do more so she just hugged them back on nearby couch.

Little did she know that's all they wanted from her. At home everyone try to struck up a conversation with them but they don't want that. They only want this warmth Anna is giving. They know even if someone tried to hug them they would have turned them down because only their mother is allowed to hug them.

Anna sometimes caressed their back sometimes their hair but the most consoling thing for them was her voice. She talked a lot with them talking about her day went, how she is scared of Rahul. How she badly wants to eat snacks but her family doesn't let her and many more. And they silently heard her every single thing.

After few more minutes Anna finally asked "What's your name girl?"

Girl looked up and saw her eyes silently and said "Kavya" very softly. Anna was mesmerized by her looks and voice.

Then he turned towards boy "And yours?"

The boy also looked up and said "Kartik".

Both kids are damn cute when she saw them clearly after this long, she could not resist and kiss both kids lovingly, in return she heard some chuckles.

'Woah now this can give me heart attack very easily'. Anna thought and again kissed them but this time with little force so it will tickle. She got her success, the kids started laughing with all ticklish feeling Anna gave.

Anna stopped after few seconds and sat them up properly, facing her so, that she can talk about how they lost? She can tell now very clearly that they are from very well family with their attire. So, how did they lost? Did they ran away from home?

She asked again to girl first "How old are you Kavya?" She want to have little bit of normal conversation with both of them.

"4" Kavya said while showing her small cute 4 fingers.

"And you Kartik?"

"I am also 4 year old " Kartik also showed his fingers

"You are twins!" Anna kind of guess it earlier but after confirming it, it was shocking

Later after talking about little stuffs with them. Anna calmed herself and she looked them with a gentle smile and said "Can you tell your aunt why are you out of your home this morning please"

The kids look at each other and Anna thought that they must have run away from their home because of any silly reason that's why they are scarred and nervous but the reason was something related to her.

"Aunty? Are you not our mom?" The girl asked hesitantly like one wrong word and she will cry again.

"Mom!??? Wait what? Me your mom? How can I be your mom. Isn't your mom at home." Anna was shocked with that question, she wanted to deny immediately but something stopped her. In bewilderment she replied.

"We don't have mom at home. We only have Dad, Grandparents and aunty uncle. We are only missing you" The boy said

'Fuck you Anna. How can you act so recklessly when they clearly said that you are her mom that means they don't know who is mom.' But what she needs to know first is why they are lost.

" Ohkay but first we will talk about why did you get out of your home?" Anna again asked hoping this time they will answer.

"We went out for school." The boy replied

Anna didn't wanted to pressurized kids but to send them back she needs to know if they are safe where she is sending back.

"Can you tell your mom what happened since morning?" She didn't wanted to give fake hopes but just this time she needs to know because something is bothering her relate to kids.

The boy hesitate little bit but when he thought that he is telling her, he started telling her everything.

This morning they got their car to leave them at school but before they could reach at main gate, a man came in front of their car. Driver stopped the car before something happened and went out to check the person.

In back seat of car, where they both (brother and sister) were sitting, someone barged in and put their hand on their mouth and took them away. And after 15 minutes they left them in the middle of their way.

Both brother and sister were very scared but they didn't know to whom they should cry to. They kept on moving here and there for whole 3 hours and thrice asked for help but repeatedly everyone refused them and went ahead.

When that car started moving towards them intensely they got really scared and brother tried to save her sister but because of nervousness they couldn't move. But at that very moment Anna came. They don't know anything and they don't want to know anything, they only wanted her to be their side.

When Anna heard everything with broken sentence she felt more bad and remorseful towards kid's. She know it's not her fault but she can't help but think how they suffered whole three hour and feel bad that she wasn't there for them.

Anna hugged them tightly and kissed their forehead number of times. Those kids were also enjoying her love.

Anna separated herself from them. Looked down and said "Don't worry, you will be send back to your father very soon and then you don't have to be scared. I will tell your father to be more careful towards you okay?"

"You won't be there mom?" Kavya asked

"Huh? Me? Why do you call me mom?" Anna didn't get it that why they are calling her mom when they just met today. She is sure no one said anything like mom and their kids. Or by anyhow she said 'My Child' something like this.

"Because that's what our teacher told us!" Kartik replied.

"Huh? Your teacher? They told you to call me Mom?" Anna didn't understand what they are trying to say.

"No, our teacher told us a poem where mom always kiss the pain away, where mom take away my fears and my tears, where mom keep me safe and secure with her huggy and where mom feed me and laughed with me. Mom that's why you are our mom." Kavya said

Anna can't believe that her small action actually meant a lot for them. Anna can't relate to them but she can see that how badly they want mother. She could not refuse this title even though she should.
