I entered the room,balancing a breakfast tray in my hands,and was greeted by the heartwarming sight of My Sargam and My Mehar cuddled up together-My Family.
I approached them,feeling a sense of peace wash over me,and sat beside them on the bed.
Mehar,sensing my presence,turned to me with a bright smile and instantly ran to my lap, showering me with kisses on my cheeks.
"Papa,Papa! We had so much fun at movie night!"she exclaimed her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"But Akaal Chachu slept early,and I made a sketch of him sleeping."She giggled,showing me her drawing.
As she chattered away,I listened intently,enjoying the sound of her laughter and the warmth of her presence.
But I couldn't drift my eyes from the woman who was sitting quietly, looking at us with smile-A Forced Smile.
Then,she turned serious,her expression concerned.
"Papa,You Know?Preet Ma'am was crying. Why was she crying?"
I looked at Preet,who was watching us with a mix shock like she got caught.
She thought she could hide her emotions with a smile.
But What about Her Eyes?
The same eyes which I can read thousand times without a word.I smiled and turned back to Mehar.
"Preet Ma'am lost her favorite clips, that's why she was crying,Bacha"I said softly,trying to simplify the explanation for her.
Mehar nodded,her face scrunched up in thought.
Preet nodded slightly,ensuring Mehar's innocence remained intact.
Without warning,Mehar jumped off my lap and ran to her room with her Max and Mickey.
Preet smiled,watching her antics with a mixture of amusement.
I sat down beside her,Passing her a glass of water.
"Yeh ladki bhi na!" I said, trying to distract her from her thoughts.
Preet nodded,her eyes shining with tears. "Arjun Veerji,Par gayi hai."
"Kab kya soch rahe hai no idea."she said,her voice barely above a whisper.
"He was always full of life and unpredictable."
This little girl was a ray of sunshine in our lives, and I knew that with her everything is perfect.
We sat there in comfortable silence, waiting for Mehar,feeling the warmth and love that filled the room.
Mehar came over to us,her face flushed with excitement.
"Niru, Niru,Just One minute!"she exclaimed,running over to the door.
