When Mrinal woke up in the morning, he saw the whole temple shining as it would have been made Last night! “What?! .. how?!... Is this my home ?” Mrinal said. Widened eyes , surprised face he was calculating the whole scenario just then arunima came to wake him up and went inside the temple, she got shocked how this happened in one night !Arunima paused for a few seconds and said “who did you bring with you Mrinal? He fixed this in one night, laborers would have done this in two days ,he came, didn't ask to pay and did this fabulous work.”
Mrinal said “I didn't even think he would fix the temple in one night without even doing any physical work!”
Arunima said “I…think…. we should do our work , he told us not to make too much noise so let's get back to work now .”
Mrinal said “yes Amma.”
Arunima “ and most importantly you have to go for practice too. The place you told me that you will practice there.”
Mrinal says “ I remember that , I'll go for practice, you take care and don't make much noise.”
They both nodded their heads and went for their daily chores.
Mrinal got ready for breakfast and arunima was waiting for him to come with served food .He goes into the kitchen and washes his feet and hands for eating and wipes them from the cloth on his shoulder, hurry and sits to eat .
Arunima “today I made your choice of dish , eat properly then.”Mrinal “ great Amma , I can't wait to eat food today !”.
They both eat and they wash their dirty dishes on their own .
And went back to work . Mrinal goes into his room to clean the room and all the furniture and stuff he got from his father's room and Arunima cleans up the kitchen and goes back to gardening work or to her practice.
Mrinal opens his room and looks all over the room covered with dust and dirt and flies were there because of that .
Mrinal said “ oh that would be hard work now.” breathes deeply, lifting his shoulders and waking them down and sighing .
Mrinal's father was a muscular man in the valley, he was famous because of his great muscle power and his art was to know each and every muscle and develop them in such a way that they become strong and flexible, that is the result Mrinal got such a muscular body which is flexible too ., his art was muscle building. That's why he was proud to be the most muscular man in the valley. Strangely he never used much weight to build his muscles but only his body weight to develop all the muscles one by one , the furniture Mrinal got from his father's room was any ordinary furniture anyone could use instead even less than that .
He got a big rectangular shaped mat, a cushion ,some bed sheets , a big, wide half of a wall sized mirror framed from different kinds of patterns of gold. A few blankets of big size, some pairs of clothes , a big pot of clay for water, and strangely a few big size towels. A few glass pots filled with dead fireflies in a wooden open small cabinet with some ink pots, peacock's feathers, and a small cloth to wipe the ink and beside that a rack in which the mat , bedsheets and cushion was kept in, AND A BIG BOX….
Mrinal cleaned everything other than that box, only the box was left to be cleaned…
