Unlike sadness, happiness also can surprise us at anytime. We should always ready to smile. No matter how much tension is there in air a tender melody is sufficient enough to soothe soul. The affect of grief is too less to be considered in front of the unseen possibilities of grace on their way towards us.

Subhanwita had planned to meet Tushar once after learning about Animesh's intention of kidnappings Parth, but she could as an occasion cum task lined up.

Aparajit and Prithika's marriage anniversary was about to come after two days. After Prithika's death this day never had been celebrated. Subhanwita's arrival into family and Mishika's come back both came together to create a chance for the occasion out of the silence of years.

"Are we searching at right place, Mishi?" Subhanwita turned towards Mishika halting her search over a dusty rack.

"Have patience, Subhi. We will get it," Mishika was trying focus her vision through the scattered stuffs of store room with the help of her mobile light.

"I am feeling scared," Subhanwita's voice slowed down.

"Why? It's not a haunted place," Mishika's curiosity wasn't overpowered by the sounds during her searching activities.

"I feel scared if darkness lasts around me for a long time," even though they both were close Mishika didn't know about this discomfort of Subhanwita.

"What are you saying, Subhi? Do you sleep turning on the lights of your room?" A small chuckle filled the dusty air of store room.

"No, it's not like that. Arjun's presence comforts me in that case," Subhanwita couldn't resist the shiver of happiness while mentioning Arjun.

"His presence or his .......," looking at Subhanwita, Mishika made a teasing eye contact.

"Or what? What do you mean?" Subhanwita wasn't prepared for the encounter.

"You know that better," a mischievous smirk of Mishika was insisting blushing shade of Subhanwita's cheeks.

"Focus on mission, Miss Avasthi!" Withdrawing eyes from Mishika was the best option at that time which Subhanwita did with a genuine reminder.

"The reason of my distraction is you, Mrs. Avasthi," Mishika shot back.

"Mishi, come here! See, what I got!" After a short Subhanwita found a heavy carton from one of the slabs.

Stuffs of that carton was visible slightly making her confirm about the content she was holding.

"Thankfully it's found. Great job, Subhi. You know many more things than distracting me and my brother," the moment of joy instigated a sweet banter in Mishika's mind.

"Let me present some skills in your courtesy," placing the carton on floor Subhanwita was about to get hold of Mishika, but she steeped back hurriedly.

Mishika got collided with a rack making some stuffs fall down. As soon as she made herself stable Subhanwita's shriek startled her.

"What happened, Subhi?" Mishika narrowed her confused eyes.

"See there!" Subhanwita's scared eyes indicated.

"Lizard! How did it come here?" Hiding herself behind Mishika, Subhanwita was trying to support her trembling body.

"So, were you expecting your prince charming to be here?" Mishika couldn't sent back her giggle at Subhanwita's reaction.

"Please send it away. It's so scaring," Subhanwita pleaded like a child.

"It's equally scaring for me too," Mishika gulped taking few more steps back along with Subhanwita.

"Shuuu! Shuuu! Hey creepy! Go away," Subhanwita stomped her foot to move the lizard away.

"I think lizard didn't like your way. See, how it's looking at you! I guess it may jump at you," Mishika's playful warning made Subhanwita shriek again.

"You both brother and sister are the same in enjoying my fear. Let me find some solutions on reptile helpline," after realising Mishika's trick Subhanwita glared at Mishika in annoyance.

Subhanwita was about to unlock her phone someone laughed loudly making hide behind Mishika again.

"Reptile helpline! Seriously Subhi! Oh my God!" It was none other than Arjun who was trying hard to control his laugh.

"Arjun, please help us," his appearance sparked her hope.

"Sure, if I don't rescue you from here then the walls of house may crack due to the vibration of your shriek," he ignored her shocked glare towards him.

"Arjun, what are you doing? Why are you bending down?" Subhanwita was terrified like that lizard could launch attack from air.

"It's not any lizard," Arjun came back to his original position.

"Then it must be a poisonous lizard," Subhanwita added quickly.

"It's a toy lizard, dumbo. It was my toy with which I had done many mischiefs in childhood," Reminiscence adored his eyes with its brightest shade of shine.

"Arjun, don't touch that," Subhanwita came forward to stop Arjun when he bent down again.

"Why not to touch? I am thinking to take this to room, and to keep with my belongings," He thought to play with her despite knowing her answer.

"No, you can't do that. I won't allow this, because I share room with you. I have more than half portion of right on room," Subhanwita's dominating side got activated which was really a suppressed mechanism of hers.

"We have equal rights on room, right?" he was enjoying her expressions.

"No, it's not. Girl's supremacy, you know!" She flipped her hairs with attitude.

"Girl's supremacy surrendered in front of a toy lizard!" He laughed followed by Mishika.

"Let's go, Mishu!" With a sulky look Subhanwita grabbed Arjun's wrist.

"You are holding his hand, and calling me to go!" Mishika faked a funny yet surprised expression.

"It's girl's sovereignty over her husband," Sharing the chain of laughter Arjun replied while managing his steps with Subhanwita who was dragging him towards their room.
