There can be nothing more satisfying than the feeling of a new early morning. It is the most glorious hours. The brilliant beams of sun gave a splendid shade to the mists and the knolls, the mountains and the valley. It demoted the trip of sun in the sky. Initially, there showed up a little chunk of light in the sky. Gradually it continued expanding in size and sparkled. Flying creatures sing to its sparkle. Men and ladies who got out for buying daily stuffs and morning walks make the most of its blushing magnificence. It is the time when the day throws away the shroud of night.

The admirers of morning walk stopped on their approach to take a look at the morning dawn. The slope tops and the valley beneath appear to be showered in yellow night. All of a sudden the brilliant ball appears to be huge in the measure. Milk merchants and daily paper young men are heard calling their exchange every step of the way of the road.

The agarwal house also experienced the daily hustle and bustles in the house. Taiji was running behind her Young Pralay to finish his milk, while the three agarwal men were busy in their own world. Tauji was reading his newspaper, Arjun was watching the old cricket matches and Rakesh was getting ready. Meanwhile naina had went for bath and after some time she came into the dining hall
wearing a purple coloured salwar Kurta consisting dark blue borders and an embroidery of thin threads with a light pink chunni. She wore small ring earrings and two bangles in each of her hands.

She entered the area and wished everyone Jai shri Krishna whilst took their blessings by bending down to touch their feet. Everyone busy in their respective works gave a weak response whilst Arjun proudly said a good morning to her little fragile sister. And she smiled in response.

While Taiji started her questioning, "Woh sab toh theek hai, par itni saj dhaj ke kahan chali Kalmuhi, kalege toh abhi khula Nahin, toh kya koi rishtha dhund liya hai" Naina responded, "Taiji woh Main swati ke ghar jaa rahin thi, usne bulaya tha, usse kuch kaam tha" Taiji was quick in her taunts, "Usne kahan aur tu chali aayegi, woh kahegi kue mein kud ja toh kud jayegi, ek toh shakal Bekaar thi kam tha jo akal bhi ghas charne gyi hai, batao, Matlab ghar mein Itna Saara kaam hai aur isse bahar jaane ki suj rahin hai" Naina replied, "Taiji Maine saare kaam kar diye, sabhi ke kamre saaf kar diye, Bartan maanj diye aur kapde bhi dho diye" Taiji angrily said, "Itne se kaam ko Tu Itna bada bata Rahin hai, Matlab baat toh Dekho iski, ja andar jakar meri 4 mehangi saari hai unhe press kar ke almari mein theek se dalna" Naina disapprovingly replied, "ji" Taiji stood and whispered in her ears, "Sun ek ek saari kamse kam 100 200 ki hai, ek bhi gadbad ki na toh Khaane ko nahin milega, samjhi Ab ja" saying this she pushed her.

Suddenly the sky became tar-black and the large clouds started moving here and there. There was a tapping on the window and it became a pitter-patter. People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. Everyone could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window which wounded like the buzzing of angry bees.

Naina hurridied to the room to finish her work before the allotted time by her so called Taiji. She picked the yellow sari printed with flowers and leaves from the cupboard and switched on the heavy metalled iron.
She spread the Saree on the table and started ironing him. In between Taiji kept questioning her about how much time does she need or is she doing it properly. Naina kept answering as she was doing her work. The room where she did her maximum work and where she lived, studied and slept at night was so isolated, there was a small window through which air passed, a little bulb which was very fluctuating, and it became the home for mosquitoes in the night.

Sameer's lifestyle was very different from the other boys which was of his age. His Nanu had fulfilled each and every wish of his, and he didn't have any complaints to it. The issue which irritated him the most was of his mother vishakha Maheshwari who had become somani after her second marriage after his dad died in a car accident. He thought that she never loved him or his father and was just after them for the sake of money. His Nanu was his mom, his best friend, his father, his lifeline same as chachaji was naina's lifeline. He spent most of the days including weekends with his two yaars Munna and Pandit who studied with him right from class first. He trusted them like anything, he cared for them and they were supporting too.

That day, sameer woke up at 7:30 with the chirping of birds outside his window and the ringing of alarm clock. He woke up, made a yawn and went to his washroom. His room was very big which had two big cupboards one for his casual or daily wear clothes and accessories, and the other cupboard consists of his party wear clothes and his sport wears. He had a huge interest in the sport cricket and every Saturday used to go for his practices and matches along with Munna Pandit. The room had a sofa in front of big sized television. Sameer after 15 minutes got out from the washroom wearing his black full sleeved shirt and blue pants. He combed his hair and after hearing the sounds of drizzles looked outside the window. He opened it and smiled looking at the downpour.
After hour an hour he reached the living area and had a look on the dining table. He found Ramdhari there who was setting the plates and spoons and bowls for breakfast and then casted a look at the lounge where his Nanu was sitting reading the newspaper. Heading his footsteps Nanu looked up from the newspaper and then smiled in happiness to find his grandson all ready.

Nanaji said in excitement, " Oho mera hero bilkul taiyaar, chal Ab yeh bhi bata de ki college ke holidays chalu ho gye hai ,toh Phir itna taiyaar hokar kahan jaa rahan hai? " Sameer exclaimed, "Nanaji woh bahar  baarish ho Rahin hai na, toh main Munna Pandit film dekhne ja rahein hai aur baad mein hamare dost ke ghar se aa jaayenge. " Nanaji replied, "Hm.. Theek hai aaram se jaana" Sameer accepted, "Ji nanaji"
Nanaji stopped him and said, "Sun car leke jaa" Sameer happily said, "Thank u nanu"

Sameer took his car keys and left to pick Munna Pandit from their respective homes. Hopefully Pandit was at munna's house so it was convenient for him to pick them. Munna Pandit after sitting were happy to see him and greeted a hello while giving a hug. Munna happily said, "Aaj Ka din toh Badhiya hai, Mausam bada bemaan aur hum teeno ki yaariyan" Pandit exclaimed, "Aree chenu tu toh aise keh rahan hai jaise saalon mein ek baar hi aata hai yeh pal, hum teeno jaisa koi Nahin " Sameer in an agreement said, " Pehli baar is pandit ne kuch sahi kahan hai" Munna teasingly, "Ha Nahin toh din bhar ladkiyon ke piche ghumta rehta hai" Sameer and Munna bursted out laughing while Pandit made pouts. They reached the cinema theatre, sameer booked their tickets and they bought some popcorn and three soft drinks for their enjoyment.

On the other hand, Ramdhari was serving Nanaji his tea and started a conversation with him. Ramdhari said, "Nanaji sameer baba itne bade ho gye par abhi bhi unki masti jaari hai, unke dil mein jitna bhi dard hai kabhi bhi dikhate Nahin hai, Sameer baba jaisa ladka bohot kismat walon ko milta hai" Nanaji in fake anger replied, "Ae Ramdhari, mere Sameer ko nazar mat laga woh karodon mein ek hai, Jitni bhi masti kar le, Zimmedari lene ke liye hamesha taiyaar rehta hai, college ke saath saath Ab office bhi sambhal rahan hai" Ramdhari said, " Yeh toh sach hai Nanaji par aapko Nahin lagta ki Ab unki shaadi ki umar aa gyi hai, unhe bhi apna ghar basana hoga" Nanaji agreeing said, "Yeh to sahi kahan tune, par main uss par zabardasti Nahin kar sakta, woh apne decisions khud Leta hai, par Phir bhi main usse bat karke Dekhunga"

Naina was just about to finish her work ironing the last Saree when by mistakenly she burnt her finger and in a reflex she put the hot iron on the pink Saree. She shouted in pain due to which Taiji came to the room. She saw that the hot iron was on her expensive Saree so she shouted, "Hey bhagwan meri saree" She kept the iron aside and looked at her Saree which had burnt and had a big hole on it. She was annoyed and angrily slapped naina in her face, "Jala di na meri Saree, kabhi Aisi mehangi cheez Nahin dekhi hai na, meri hi mat Mari gyi thi jo Tujhe yeh kaam se diya. "
No one was there in agarwal house except Taiji and naina, so no one could save the little naina from her cruel Taiji. Taiji announced, " Ab mera muh kya dekh rahin hai aaj Tujhe Khaana Nahin milega, ja iss ghar se durr. " Tears rolled down from the little girl's eyes and she started sobbing. Taiji pushed her out of the house . Naina having no other choice went out of the house where it was raining. She came outside, she was wet and searched for some cover or she'd. She saw a bench and started crying heavily, "No one loved u naina,
No one loves u and no one would love u ever! "And cried.
