Our parents......

Sahil " I was playing with my classmates. when I was running I fell and got hurt. It is hurting Dhi," says wiping badly...

Arjun "Why did not you come to me or her. And sitting here and crying?" asks angrily...

Swara also cries seeing him crying "shhh, stop crying chotu. See your brother and me are here. So stop crying," says trying to console Sahil. Glares at Arjun "he is already crying. And you are making him cry more by shouting at him," scolds him. She removes mud from Sahil, wounded area carefully. Takes out one bandaid from her pocket. Covers with it. Wiped Sahil tears "do not cry chotu. Soon this wound will be fine," says him caressing his hair...

Arjun stares at what she doing. Thinks from where did she learn it all. Maybe her parents who else, says to himself...

Sahil nods his head while sniffing, "Dhi, you are looking like mom," says crying loudly remembering his mom...

Hearing mom

Arjun gets tears in his eyes..."

Present

Arjun "at that time even I felt the same thing which Sahil told to you I never said that to you. You are different at the same time you look like her. But somewhere you are similar to her," says looking at sleeping Swara caressing her hair...

Past

"One year passed. Today was Arjun and Sahil parents death day. Sahil realised his parents never going to come back to them and will take them with them to live happily again like before. This was the bitter truth. He has to accept this. Both were sad. Swara comes to them gets confused seeing them sad like this...

Swara "what happen Arju and chotu. You both are looking dull?" asks them when she could not figure out why are they sad...

Arjun " nothing, Swara," says her plainly...

Swara "won't you share it with me. Why?" asks him sadly. When he refused to say what was the reason for their sadness...

Sahil "Dhi, today is our parents' death anniversary," says while having tears on his eyes looking at her...

Swara gets shocked hearing it. She was never known this before. Like she did not talk to them about her family, they also did not talk about their family to her. But never she did not expect this from the "what???. Why were you both did not told me anything about this till today," asks them in shock...

Arjun "we do not want others pity, Swara," says her in a flat tone...

Swara nods her head knowingly " there is some difference between pity and care. Forget it did you do any ritual to your parents?" asks them out of blue...

Arjun looks at her stunned. How does she know this all?. Why is she asking like this?. Thinks in his mind but did not voice out thinking she might have seen anyone of her family member doing this all. "we were not capable of it back days doing this," says her almost crying state. He did nothing for his parents' peace. That made him feel awful...

Swara feels very bad for him when his face became dull. Placed her hand on his shoulder, "you can cry on my shoulder. We are friends. I won't take that you are weak Arju," says him softly. Seeing how he holding his tears back without letting them fall...

That is it for Arjun. He hugs her tightly by her waist. Pours his heart out. Seeing his brother crying like this, Sahil cries hugging her. Swara holds them in her arms gets tears in her eyes seeing them both crying...

Arjun stopped himself from crying many times because of Sahil who is with him. Also, he never gets someone to care for them. So he holds himself. Today Swara is there for both of them. He cried today on her shoulder...

After some time both of them composed and calms down...

Swara gives them water when they both stopped crying completely, "are you both?" asks them concerned tone...

Both nod their head in yes...

Swara sigh in relief feeling both are okay now after crying. "come on let's go," says looking at them...

Arjun looks at her confused "where Swara?. I am not in the mood to go anywhere out," says her before she insists he go out...

Swara "huh, come with me without a word," says glaring at him.

Arjun looks at her like are you serious?. Swara pays no attention to his look. Drags them to the temple where she used to visit...

The temple Priest sees Swara coming in. Smiles at her warmly. Also confused looking at the two boys with her this time. She usually comes here alone or with one. This two of them were new to him. His first time seeing them with her, Went to her "Swara beta," says when he is in her sight...

Swara smiles back at him sweetly. Takes blessing from him bending down. Sees Arjun and Sahil are looking at her. Signals Arjun and Sahil to take blessings from the priest. They did what she sighed to them. Preist smiles blessed them both...

Swara turns her head to the priest, told him about Arjun and Sahil parents death and they did not do anything till now. "what can we do now?" asks him. She came with this one idea only. Where else she can go ask whom about this. Moreover other than priests who will know well about this...

Arjun looks at her getting startled. She dragged them here to do this. He thought she wants to take them out to make up their mood. How stupid he scolds himself in his mind...

Pandit hears her carefully. Look at Arjun and Sahil thinks for a minute "Did you done like this before," asks them...

Arjun nods his head 'no'...

Pandit nods his head getting him what he wants to say. That they till now not known of this and do anything till now. It is not their fault they are small to do this and even know about this at this age. Tells them about some basic rituals to perform for their parents to let them at being peace, "Go, take bath in the river near the temple backside. Till then will prepare to perform the ritual," says them what they had to do before that...

Arjun stares blankly at the priest "but we do not have any money with us to give you for this all," says him. He is not that much idiot to know this thing everything has a price to pay. For this all. He definitely has no penny in his hand now even he wanted to do this...

Swara glares at him, "I will give money, You just go do what the priest asked you to do" says him...

Arjun felt happy to have a friend like her. But he could not take advantage of their friendship "it is okay, Swara that was not necessary," says her denying this idea of her...

Swara "Arju" calls out looking at him angrily...

Arjun gulps hard seeing her angry gaze. Reluctantly nods his head went to take bath in the river holding Sahil hand who are widen his eyes seeing this all...

After finishing pooja (rituals)...

Swara gave them some food packets...

Arjun looks at her clueless...

Swara sighed "take this and go, give this to those people. They will be happy and will bless you both. And from their blessing, your mom and dad will be happy," says them why she gave this to them...

Arjun heart touched with her all this gesture. On one side he was totally confused why she known this all. But he never has the intention to ask her. Takes it from her hand...

Arjun and Sahil give food to some people. Arjun feels happy...

Arjun " how do you know all of this?" asks her when he could not resist himself from asking this...

Swara in a low tone of her "just know, I knew it all" says him simply...

Swara then went to the priest thanked him for helping them out immediately. Later they all left the temple happily..."

Flashback ends"

Present

Arjun looking at Swara, "you may be little at that time when we do it all. But you are more mature at that age, which I am not getting how you knew this till now. You fulfilled a wish which was I am longing to do from the time my parents passed away. Because that was what a son can do for their parents at last after their death," says getting emotional remembering his days with his parents and her...

He still could not believe she is the same one. She changed a lot. Now, this accident brings her back to herself and life. He should do everything to keep her happy again if possible. She was a sweet girl and an admirable one from their old days. Then something happened changed her like she is not like this. She was a carefree girl. A little bit he is worried, thinking what if her memory comes back. After that what will happen...

Thinking all of this he fall in asleep by keeping his head on her bed, holding her hand in between his hand tightly...
