'Sometimes Happiness is just a Cup of Coffee :)'

Hrishi could smell the coffee's aroma as he entered his home.. he understood his mom was back from Hyderabad..Rani came out from the kitchen with two coffee cups..
Rani smiled at his son..

'Hey Hrishi.. how was your day today?..'
'But first,Coffee.. mom!' he said and he took the coffee cup from Rani..

He was lost himself in the coffee for few minutes.. till the last sip he didn't care about anything around him, not even he cared to look at his mom who was staring at him.

He then gave the empty coffee cup to his mom..
'How mom.. how are you.. I missed you so much..' he hugged her..
'Hmm... Coffee addict!!!,,,now only you recognise me huh?.. I'm good.. Why are you late from school?'
'No..ma..it's .. just..the Children's day celebration ma..'
'Your dad came by 4.15 itself..'
'He is not interested to see those programme ma.. all he wants is everyone to carry a Mathematics book and study.. even while we are sleeping..'
Rani laughed..'Okay.. take this coffee to your dad.. I'll make another one for me..'

Hrishi took the coffee and went upstairs..
Vasu was scolding a boy for not securing enough marks in the test..
'Sorry sir.. I couldn't attend the classes.. I was busy practising for the dance celebration today..!' he almost cried as he said.
'Okay okay.. you are excused this time.. even though you got awesome talent in other extra curricular activities.. Studies first! Don't forget.. now sit and work out the question paper..'

Hrishi thought 'Even though he encourages others.. Why he is strict when it comes to studies..!'
'Mm..hmm.. place the coffee in the table Hrishi.. get fresh and join the other students by 6.15..
this batch is extended to 15 more minutes as everyone is late today because of that celebration..'
Hrishi placed the coffee..
He heard his dad saying 'Bring.,Algebra notes when you are coming..'
Hrishi nodded his head.. he then blurted 'Algebra is a Cobra..!!' as he got down the stairs..

....
Vasu took tuition at his home and there were 3 batches.. two batches scheduled in the evening and one scheduled in the morning..He worked very hard..He wanted all of his students to secure centum in Mathematics. He makes his every student to understand what they are learning and tells them 'Mathematics is very easy once we understand.. So Love Mathematics..'
....

It was dinner time..
Vasu,Rani and Hrishi were having dinner together..

'Thank you mom.. for returning soon.. you saved me and this house from dad..'  he giggled as he chewed his favourite Chappathi with Paneer Gravy.

'Leaving you two gentlemen in the home alone..
I was worried what you guys would be doing..
hmm..
Eat slowly Hrishi..
Chappathi is going no where..!!' Rani smiled..

'Rani..Look he is eating as though I didn't give him any food for last 2 days..' Vasu smiled at Rani.

'Hmm..
at least he is okay..
but look at your plate Vasu..
you have eaten it as though you didn't see the food itself..
just two days I was not there..
look at both of you..' Rani laughed..

Now..both Vasu and Hrishi also joined her laugh..

'Okay Ma.. Okay dad.. I'm going to bed!'
'Hrishi wait..I need to talk to you..' Vasu said in a concerned tone.
'We will talk morning dad..I'm feeling sleepy..' he yawned
'No..Now..Sit..!!' he ordered.
Hrishi obeyed his dad and sat..

'Saw your marks huh? Today I distributed test papers of your class.. What happened to you..you lost 25 marks!!'

'Dad..just Chilax.. it's only 25 marks..'

'What??..Just 25??!!.. see Hrishi.. you are in 8th now..
in a year after you will be facing your board exams..and as I see this behaviour of you and carelessness will not make you to get centum..
Be serious..' he said in a raised his voice.

'Dad..I'm ..Sorry..' Hrishi's eyes were wet..
'No..Hrishi..I'm sorry for raising my voice..
you know these little things upset me some times..
I just want to be frank with you..
you know that Rani and I work very hard..
it's because we love you so much we don't want you to struggle like us..
I am not saying that you should not have fun..
enjoy in your age but don't let your enjoyment to destroy you..
we want you to study well..do MBA in abroad..
we want you to be a successful person.. we wish that you could make us proud..
we respect your dreams Hrishi..
but try to understand our dream of you also..'
Vasu hugged his son..Rani hugged Vasu from behind..

'Now go to bed.. Good Night..' he smiled and let go of his son..

'Sweet Dreams..darling' Rani whispered to Hrishi.

Back in the room..Hrishi felt he was so blessed to have parents like this to care for him.. He promised himself that he will make them proud for their  unconditional love towards him.
