AUTHOR POV :

It's morning 3:30 am Meenakshi woke up and arranged everything for bhogi .

She went outside the house infront of the gate , wearing a sweater coz it's so cold in this early morning , she saw priyamvada and sriya came out holding colours in their hands .

Meenakshi asked them with suprise " Arey ...how come you both wake up so early ? "

Priyamvada ( ruhaan & Vani's  mother ) chuckled and sriya spoke " Maa I'm your daughter and did you forget I'm the one who always helped you in making rangoli and other things so , we came here to help you and the festival is for everyone why it's only you who work , come on maa let's start " .

Meenakshi hummed and the trio started making a beautiful round rangoli . After 20 mins they are done with the rangoli and just then Aditya came .

He spoke " Wow ... it's beautiful but why the rangoli is plain in the inner side ? "

Sriya spoke " Coz we need to lit bhogi fire in the middle of the rangoli adi . So , come on help us to get all the wood and sticks , let's arrange it in the middle of the rangoli " .

Adi nodded and helped them getting sticks , just then ruhaan too came with srihan holding him in his arms .

Priyamvada spoke " Beta you woke up so early and why did you bought srihan here ? "

Ruhaan spoke " Maa my son won't sleep without his mother he woke me up by hitting me on my face saying papa...momma ..missing ...mommy missing ... So , I bought him here " .

Sriya smiled and went towards ruhaan , she took srihan from his hands and kissed his cheeks saying " Aww my bittu you can't sleep without me huh..! "

Ruhaan whispered in Sriya's ear " Sweetheart even I can't sleep without you " .

Meenakshi and priyamvada giggled . Sriya blushed and hit his hand slightly clearing her throat ahmm ahmm

Adi went and bought a pipe connected with tap and spoke " Bhabhi everything is arranged " .

Just then vani came yawing saying " Good morning...! Everyone " .

Everyone said good morning to vani and sriya spoke to Aditya , " Adi why did you bought water pipe we don't need to water the plants right now ".

Adi was about to reply but Interrupted by Meenakshi .

Meenakshi chuckled and spoke to adi , " Beta don't worry about the fire , everything will be good and we shouldn't extinguish the holy bhogi fire " .

Adi wondered how meenakshi remembered his fear and understood him . Adi smiled and sriya spoke " Adi don't worry just stay far away from the fire okay " .

He smiled and nodded .

Meenakshi bought dried cow dung plates and placed it in the sticks arranged for bhogi .

Sriya bought cow ghee in a small pot and poured to the sticks arranged on bhogi fire .

Meenakshi said to herself " ok is there anything left we need to add to the bhogi ? "

Srihan spoke " Amamma ( Nani ) ... let's burn the ghost in the house ..! "

Everyone didn't understand anything and just then Anand came holding ruhi who is crying , ruhaan took ruhi immediately and caressing her back he asked ruhi " My princess...what happened ? "

Ruhi said while crying aloud ... ghost....!!

Everyone was confused and just then diya came towards them walking rubbing her eyes and yawing .
