Anoop was quite but watching towards the Manager.

Preeti: We will never disappoint our child. Can we please meet our child?

Anoop was still quite and feeling surprised. The Manager asked caretaker to check if everything OK!

They all proceeded to meet the child. It was like a celebration for the orphanage. A stage was also set up, well decorated, all staff of the orphanage was sitting. The manager asked Preeti to have seat. One of the ladies took the child in her lap. The child was one year old approx, fair complex; cute, very healthy and had a smiling face. The lady sat in a chair. Anoop and Preeti was excited to have the child. The person told Anoop and Preeti about the child and how to take care of her. Some counseling was also done for the child. Anoop and Preeti agreed to follow all the measures to grow up the child. They signed some documents over there.

Preeti asked, “Could now I take the child?” The manager asked to take the child. Preeti took her in her lap and kissed on her forehead. It was a girl. Her name was Urvashi. Anoop was also with Preeti. He also took the child in his lap.

“You are very cute, Urvashi.” Anoop said.

Preeti felt very emotional and started weeping. Anoop consold her and said,“Why are you weeping? We finally had the child. We should be happy. Our dream came true.”

Preeti: I will love her more than anyone person. I will grow her to be the best citizen.

Anoop: We will do, wipe your tears. They both bade adieu to all of them present in the orphanage, the manager, the staff and some other boys and girls. Everyone was in tears.

Anoop thanked the manger for making them feel very happy and all the arrangements.

They took Urvashi to their house. Urvasi was lying between Preeti and Anoop. Preeti asked Anoop to go to shopping at evening for Urvashi.

In the morning, Anoop asked Preeti that he had to go to office for some urgent work.

Preeti: You took leave for some days, did not you remember?

Anoop: I remember but some urgent work that I have to do.

Preeti: Why cannot you do it from home?

Anoop: It is urgent. I have to co-ordinate with my colleagues for this work. I can not complete it while working in home.

Preeti: It is one day passed for Urvashi and you are asking to leave us alone.

Anoop: I do not mean that, but I will try to come early.

Anoop left the house and took auto to reach the orphanage. He asked the caretaker to meet the manager. He proceeded towards her office and entered. The manager asked the caretaker to go out.

Anoop: Nisha you? How you came here?

He said this in surprise.

Nisha: I must say thank to you.

Anoop: Why?

Nisha: Because of you I am here.

Anoop: Are you married?

Nisha: I do not want to marry.

Anoop: You were preparing for GATE and IES exams?

Nisha: Thank god you remembered that. I thought you forgot all about me. Yes I was preparing.

Anoop: So what happened? I know these exams are tough to crack, that’s why I did not go for government exams.

Nisha: Everything is tough for you, and I also knew that adopting the child must be your wife’s idea not yours.

Anoop: Yes but I supported the idea and her the most.

Nisha: You have to! By the way I cracked the IES exam.

Anoop: Then why you are here. You must be in serving for government.

Nisha: I felt the same but I left the service and started serving the society in my way. I with my own expenses started this orphanage. This is my family.

Anoop: That’s so great! I am inspired by you.

Nisha: You are not alone most of the people feel the same. But don’t forget that you left me alone when I need you the most, when I was suffering from diseases and I need someone to mentally support me. I believed on you the most. I thought that you are the best guy for me to live whole life.

Anoop: I’m sorry. I was in bad company that time. I was fired from my job. I was in deep depression. I was not able to decide what is good and what is bad for me.

Nisha: That doesn’t matter to me now. You never tried to talk to me. I was the girl who dreams for you, dream to marry you. But you cheated me. You just used me to fulfill your desires. I can also say with most confidence that you never loved me you just pretended everything. I became my own support and self dependent after that.

Anoop: I was immature that time. I now understand. I must respect your actions and emotions.

Nisha: I was very ugly girl who every time suffers from different diseases. Now, I take care of me, improved my health. There are more than hundred children and other staff present in my orphanage. My mother and father also work here. This is my family where everyone respect and love each other. I want anyone to be the best person, to be the best citizen of the country. You will be glad to listen that I’m going to get an award from President of India soon.

Anoop: Congratulation. Can we go to HAL together, walk there for sometime, sit under the banyan tree near the pond, can we have lunch together there?

Nisha: You are still not changed even after marriage.
