The children were sitting on the terrace with Khushi and watching the stars admiring the beauty they were having a blast they had a bag of pop corn and some juice and were having their little picnic with pj's on. they were chit chatting Aarti was on Khushi's lap they were telling stories to each other and talking about random things.
Anuj: Didi the movie we went for today was so nice i loved the way that nemo's father dodged that shark he had teeth so sharp and he looked so big (he said excited)
Annika: ya the movie was cute and i loved nemo he was so little
Aarti: nemo was a baby didi and he was so tiny just like me (she said happily)
Khushi: (kissed her cheek and then said) yes just like you.
Meanwhile Arnav was on his lap top. the thought of what just happened in the kitchen with Khushi was driving hi crazy she was so close to him. Her breast were touching his chest and that very touch was driving him insane why was it that he was so affected thought he. What was the big deal about it. He could remember her smell her Jasmine smell, So simple she was that petite waist that he had pulled closer towards him. He could here her deep breath her chest heaving and going up and down against his in a synchronized rhythm. He shut his eyes her face came in his mind her eyes were closed her lips were looking red and plump and her cheeks were so warm. What was it about her banged the table in frustration and the glass of water on it came tumbling down braking into peaces. Arnav saw the shattered glasses and was going down to call HP when he heard some giggling noises coming from up. He wondered where they were coming from slowly going towards that direction he saw the terrace door was open.The giggling noises became louder and louder and he knew that some one was up in the terrace and out of curiosity he climbed up the steps and entered the terrace and too his surprise there she was with the children dressed in a white salwar kameez her hair flying she had Aarti on her lap, The kids were laughing away they were sitting in a circle on the floor on top of mats and chattering away Khushi was hugging Aarti kissing her cheek and Anuj was sleeping on her lap and Annika was sitting opposite them. It was a site to see them as the moon light shined on her directly it highlighted her features making him notice that small little nose of her and her cute scrunched up eye brows. Arnav was in a trance but he snapped out of it when he saw little Aarti tug on his pant he looked down and her and she gave him her best smile ever and said
Aarti: mamma mamma when did you come here
Arnav: (looked towards Khushi and as she saw him with her dough like innocent eyes she got up and the he knelt down and said) just now but what are you doing here
Aarti: we are watching the stars (she pointed at the sparkling dots up)
Arnav followed her finger and then she said too him
Aarti: Arnav mamma come with us and watch the stars na she held his hand, Arnav was going to stop her butshe held on to him and then pulled him to Khushi, she made him sit down on the mat and then they all sat Arnav was as blank as a slate he didnt know what to do. Khushi felt conscious seeing him Aarti sat in between them and then they began chatting again Khushi and Arnav were super the children noticed Annika could feel that something was going on, but kept it to herself. Anuj noticed it too but preferred to keep quite and Aarti the tinniest was lost in her own world she was jabbering away and then suddenly she asked
Aarti: why do stars glow mamma (she looked at him innocently)
Arnav: (tugged on him again and said) Tell know mamma why do stars glow
Arnav: (hesitating not knowing what to answer he said) uh uh.. Stars glow because..
Annika and Anuj were enjoying their mamma fumble their little sister had caught hold of him nicely. Khushi knew he was uncomfortable and then she took Aarti in her lap Arnav watched her actions she slowly pointed at the dots of light above and said in a loving voice
Khushi: you know what baby when the stars shine they say that they are watching over you.
Arnav watched as she explained and Aarti questioned again
Aarti: Khushi didi why do they watch over us
Khushi: they help us and look after us when we make mistakes.
Aarti: wow they are so sweet (she chirped and the rest giggled Arnav watched amused then Aarti asked) But didi who are they why they help us.
Khushi: All the people who dye and go become stars and then they shine brightly to show their loved ones that they are always with them.
Arnav, Annika, Anuj and Aarti all looked up at her and then Khushi pointed up at the two dots and then said
Khushi: see there those are my parents (she said with sadness in her voice)
Arnav was stunned he never knew she didnt have parents how could this be, he thought they were alive who was it then that she was calling amma and babuji. he looked zapped not knowing what was going on. Then Aarti pointed up to the other star and then said again
Aarti: Didi is that my mama is she watching us
