"Hey madam how do you work with such a ease after all the cruel  happening  you had to see "V questioned N .To this N  simply shrugs her shoulders in upward direction .V  slowly comes near her and wraps his arms from behind and says "Make good memories "
What "Make good Memories " hmm  the way in which your sister saw us that day , I  can't still digest it V.
Ha ha ha .... Vikram laughed aloud  .What is so funny ! she queered as she started to wash the oil pan with Vim gel .Vikram turns  her around to face  him  and says "Madame I   had to  lived with her  for  35 years in fear off what next she is going to demand/ask   me  to give up ".Vikram pulls Namarata closer to her and kisses her passionately and Namarata too returns it with same vigour .Uncle V and Aunty N , Happy Children day ! .Turning towards the voices from the entrance of door , they ran quickly and opened the door   and Shushed them with their mocking stare. "Happy Children day Mr.V  "a girl from the group of perky  children said. N laughed aloud and hugged the little  girl who is filled with a lot of fear  .Hmm V says curtly and leaves to their bedroom where  his little boy Abhi  is playing with his toys .Seeing his son , his eyes gets filled up  .But when he was about to lift him up , the children who have come to his place said "Ah! a new baby has come to Aunty N's place "Wow  and other adjectives are used by them to describe him  i.e. Abhi .Abhi too smiles  at t them and says  "Happy Diwali cum Children day to all " in his soft baby voice .
Preeti who has entered the scene from other another bedroom   takes a photo  .
 Five years later  when she sees this  photo today ,   Preeti has tears  in her eyes because 2 years ago on this  very day   she left her home forever because 'Her parents love made her feel saturated and weak 'Though today , she is happily married to a guy of her close  but ...she still is unhappily .Because of the guilt of keeping her parents in dark about her marriage to the guy of her choose  {whose family  happens to be all time great  haters  of  her family  from their bottom of their heart} is swallowing  her  up as a whole .
But .... this photo acts like a  cool balm .Healing the raw  hurt .Ma ,Pa and Abhi  she says and kisses the photo with reverence and wishes them 'Happy Diwali '  from wherever she is  as she cannot go to their house because it would break her father's heart  to a great extent .
