"Wow papa, this is so cool, I love it." I beamed. "But papa I already have one piggy bank. Why this?"
Papa smile at me. "That was old and look it new with password lock. Now no one can open your tresure."
"Password? Like your safe in cupbored? "
"Yes sunshine."
"Papa I will put my birthdate as password or your's."
"Hmm. No beta. Anyone can guess that. Try something else."
I thought for while but I don't come up with anything. "I don't know papa. You suggest."
Papa tapped his fingers on his thigh. "Hmm.what about 2807."
"2807? Why? Is it someone's birthday?"
"Yes, it's your brother's."
I only have cousin brother Mohitbhai and Shobhit. And it not their birthdate. "Papa I always remember everyone's birthday. No one has this birthdate. Who is he?"
Papa pull me to his lap and caresses my hair. "Maya beta, you are papa's good girl right. Don't tell anyone about this sunshine. It will be our top secret."
Top secret? Wow.
"Okay. I like secrets. But mommy didn't tell me about my brother. Can I meet him papa?"
"No beta you can't tell mommy. I-I want to surprise her. So." He zip his fingers over his mouth. "Don't tell anyone. And I'm sorry beta you can not meet your brother."
My face fall. I want to meet him. Maybe we can become friends. Maybe he'll play with me with my doll house.
"Maya always remember this code. 2807. Never forget that okay."
"Don't worry papa. If I forget that you will remind me."
Papa's face become sad. "No sunshine. May be I won't be there to remind you."
"Are you going somewhere? Can I come? I don't like here alone papa. Mommy always shouts at me."
Papa hugged me tight. "I'm so sorry my sunshine. You can't come with me."
"Okay. But when will you come back?"
Papa is sad. It made me sad. I tried to cheer him up. I noticed for past few days, he always sat alone with sad face. A lone tear slid down his face, and I curled up to his warmth. I close my eyes in his lap, slowly my eyes grew heavy. Papa thinks I fell asleep, but I heard what he said. "I'm so sorry beta, I'm going ver far. Papa will never come back sunshine."
