Chapter 4

She smiled at him sweetly, hugged him and said " I know Bhai loves me the most.. "

" Mmm. "

That picture of both was also beside the big picture.

Anvika smiled at those memories. She went near the picture " Happy anniversary Ma Papa. " She looked at them tears started flowing from her eyes. " I'm sorry last year...... I didn't come home on any occasion to meet you both...... Last year...... Bhai got into accident...... He's still in vegetative state.......I didn't dare to come here alone.... I really feel lonely..... Please tell him to wake up..... I can't.. I can't wait anymore.... I'm running out of patients..... I really miss you both.... Why... Why do you have to leave me... Why.... Why don't you all like me....."

Anvika started crying loudly. Snehal came forward and started comforting her. Anvika calmed down after a while.

She told Bhavya aunty to go and set the table it's already 6 pm.

Within 15 minutes bhavya aunty set the table. The table was filled with her Mom and dad's favourite dishes. After a while one of the servent bought around 50 children. They were all from the orphanage.

After her Mother and Father's death her brother and she would bring the children home from the orphanage and prepare food for them on their birthdays and anniversaries.

Mat was already spread on the ground in the garden. Anvika and Snehal arranged the children to sit on the mat and sat down with them. The servants got the food. The children looked very happy. Anvika, Snehal and Bhavya aunty served the food.

After serving Anvika and Snehal sat down with them. Snehal started chatting with the children " Hey guys. "

" Hi di. "

" Do you all remember me.... We've met before... "

" Yeah... I remember you.... You're my Anvi di's friend.... You came to meet us last...ummm... Before last year..... Right?? " A little girl told her.

" Yeah baby your memory is quite good. "

" Yeah.... I know. " The girl said proudly.

" Anvi di.. "

" Ummm??"

" Why didn't you came to meet us last year?? We were waiting for you. " Asked a little boy.

Anvika let out a sigh. " Actually... "

" Areee where is Avi bhaiya?? Why haven't I seen him.... Is he busy?? " Asked another little girl.

Anvika froze . Snehal looked at her and sighed. " Actually Avi bhai is on a business trip.... Out of the country.... You know he has a big company..... He have to manage everything.... So he has to go on business trips..... He's very busy... We'll tell him to meet you all once he's free.. Okay?? "

The girl looked disappointed but she smiled. " Okay... But tell him to meet us once he's free. Tell him that piyu miss him"

" Okay princess we'll tell him. "

" Pinky promise? " The girl extended her pinky finger.

" Pinky promise. " Snehal hooked her pinky.
