<h4>Chapter 11 - Tall-careless Uncle</h4>
When Li Xue came back after retrieving her phone, her daughter wasn''t at the ce she had left her. The luggage was still there but not the girl.
Her face instantly drained all its colors and heartbeats got increased. She looked at thedy officer guard who was still standing by the side but her eyes were looking around desperately as if trying to search someone.
Li Xue walked to her and asked in a dreaded tone, "Where is my daughter?". Her pale face and the heavy voice she has used made it evident that she has lost something that was more precious to her than her own life.
"Mam, she was here moments before. I just checked a person and when I looked back she was nowhere. I would have gone in search of her but was waiting for you to arrive, so that I can inform you", the guard said as she still looked around to find the little girl in the crowds.
"Mam, Don''t worry I will just go and ask someone to make announcements for her. We will definitely find her", saying her words the guard quickly turned and left to find the girl. She really felt bad. It was her responsibility to look after the little girl and now she was missing.
Li Xue didn''t know what she should do. This city has never been right for her. It has always spirited away the precious things and people from her life. Years ago she lost her only closed person here and now again…
When thoughts crossed her mind, a beautiful face from her memories also appeared in front of her eyes. A pretty face that has many facial simrities with her face. Same brown eyes but the shine inside it was different. Someone who was in her teens.
Li Xue shrugged off her memories that got refreshed the moment her heart felt the fear of losing the newly bloom sunflower of her life. She frantically looked around, searching her little angel that has been the only reason for her life.
On the other side, little Li Wei ran after the tall man who was walking at a fine pace. Since he has long legs and a good pace in walking, even after running with those stubby legs, the little girl was unable to catch up with him.
Waving the handkerchief in her hand, she tried to call out, "Tall, careless uncle! Tall, Careless Uncle! Don''t walk away leaving your handkerchief behind".
She tried hard but her soft voice couldn''t reach the ears of the person intended to. The man was walking with some hurry as if he was here to pick someone up and was already runningte.
Reaching the information desk, he asked frantically. "Good afternoon! Did the flight from Singapore arrive?"
The staff at the desk gave a polite smile to him and replied, "Good afternoon Sir! I am afraid that the flight from Singapore has been dyed by 30 minutes. It will bending on our runway at half past one."
The man heaved a sigh of relief. ''Thank God! I am notte''. He gave a polite nod and turned around only to find a sweet little girl huffing and puffing behind her. She was staring at him with the eyes that made him feel guilty towards her. But wait what did he do wrong to her.
"Tall, careless uncle… Why do you have such long legs? It made me run after you at my maximum speed", Li Wei said still trying to normalize her breathing. The little girl really has to run hard.
The man looked at the girl and then turned to check around himself. There was no one around. Was this little girl referring to him?
He looked at her and found the girl really cute. Her chocte brown hairs reminded him about someone and instantly his lips gave a warm smile.
"Tall – Careless Uncle, you are still smiling?" she pursed her lips with her hands on her h.i.p.s. "Don''t you know, it''s not good to be careless?" Her tone was like she was reprimanding but it felt so sweet.
The man smiled as he looked more at the little girl who was straining her neck to look at his face. He bent on his knees so that she didn''t have to strain her neck, "Hey, Little are you saying those words to me? Do you know me?"
"Of course, I am saying those words to you. It''s you after whom I have to run. Why should I say these words to others?"
The man wasn''t able to control hisugh that came out hearing the witty words of the sweet girl. "So do you know me?" he asked again.
Li Wei shook her head in denial. "Then why did you run after me? And why are you calling me careless?" He asked, raising his brows slightly.
"Of course, to return you back the handkerchief you have dropped behind", the little girl said waving the handkerchief in her hand.
Looking at the piece of cloth in the little girl''s hand, he found it was quite familiar. That was definitely his, but he still checked his pocket.
"Ahh that is really mine. Thank You, I don''t know when I dropped it down", he said and took it back from her.
The little girl nodded and said, "Hmm you were careless before so you dropped it at the entrance"
"Hey, I might have dropped it but I am not careless. I was in a little hurry before", he said as he folded the handkerchief and put it back in his pocket.
"My mother says, we should always care for the things that belong to us. But you weren''t so you were careless", Li Wei said and then suddenly her eyes widened in childish horror. Her hand flung over her mouth, "Ahhh, I forgot. Mama has asked me to stay put at that chair. But I ran away. If she gets there before me then she will be really scared."
She turned around to look at the direction from where she hade but couldn''t find her way back.
She again turned to look at the man who was lost in his own thoughts. "Tall – careless uncle, help me find my way back. I don''t remember it".
The man looked at the girl. He has just met her but she has already reminded him two times about a certain girl of his memories. He stared at the little girl and nodded.
