Tiana paid the grocery bill & looked down to find Nishan. But he was gone. 'Oh, naughty boy!' she crackled 'Where is he now? Can't he stand still in one place for a second?' she placed the bags on the counter & be3gan to search for him through the whole market6. Nishan never stayed still in one place for a second. Each & every times his little feet were busy to find a new place & watch his new discovery with his curious beautiful hazel eyes. Tiana often became tired to keep pace with him. This time as usual Tiana finished her shopping & found Nishan wondering around the new toys. Tiana gripped his hands tightly & led him to the counter. 'Stay still here.' She ordered. 'Mama I'm bored.' Nishan complained as the salesgirl was preparing the bill. 'No excuse this time.' Tiana glared at him playfully 'You always drive mama mad.' Nishan stood at the counter with a sad look. Tiana smiled & released his hand for a while to pay the bills. Now in the fraction of the second Nishan was gone.

Tiana really began to feel frightened as she found no sign of Nishan anywhere. A strange fear crawled in her mind as she noticed a commotion outside. She ran into the crowd to find a pool of blood in the middle of the road. 'What happened?' she asked the man beside her. 'A poor kid just hit the car. God knows if he'll survive.' The man replied sadly. Tiana's anxiety rose higher 'How is he look like?' she asked again in a husky voice. 'He's about three years wearing a blue shirt & brown pants.' The man replied. 'Nishan, no!' Tiana gasped & collapsed on the ground.

Naveen was waiting at the corridor, worrying about the poor boy. He was feeling really sad for the baby but one thing surprised him too. How the boy could be so much similar to him? So is there any chance of him having any relationship with the boy? What if he was his son?

Naveen's thoughts broken as the doctor walked near him 'He's alright your highness. You can take him home.'

'Thanks doctor.' Naveen felt relived & ran into the cabin where the little boy was lying. He gently sat beside him & kissed his forehead 'How are you feeling now?' Naveen whispered. The boy opened his hazel eyes. Naveen gasped to find his own eyes looking back at him. Nishan watched the stranger for a moment. He could feel the kindness in the stranger's eye4s. Suddenly he felt there's no need to be afraid of this man. 'Who are you?' he moved his lips weakly.

Naveen smiled to see the childish curiosity in his eyes. 'I'm Naveen, king of Maldonia.' Naveen smiled. 'A king!' Nishan's eyes lit up with joy 'Mama tells me about kings & frog prince.'

'Who is your mother?' Naveen asked puzzled.

'My mother is Tiana.' Nishan beamed 'Have you met her?'

'No' Naveen smiled 'But I like to. Where does she live?'

Suddenly Nishan's face became blank 'I don't know.'

Naveen's heart sank. But he didn't show it outside. 'All right let's go home.' Naveen picked up Nishan in his arms & walked outside.

Tiana searched for Nishan everywhere. At last the police confirmed that the boy was taken to Maldonia General Hospital. Tiana ran there like mad. 'Is there any boy named Nishan brought for car accident?' Tiana asked the receptionist.

'Yeah,' The girl checked the files 'But he left with his highness King Naveen an hour ago.'

Will Tiana & Naveen ever meet again?
