"तुम हसीन हो, गुलाब जैसी हो,
बड़ी नाजुक हो, ख्वाब जैसी हो!"

Delhi:-

Goenka निवास!!

On the dining table, in the utter silence, the Goenka's were having their breakfast. With the head of the family, Mr. Prithviraj Goenka sitting on the head chair. To his left was sitting his son, Suraj with Anita next to her. And on his right side were sitting, Shivay, Omkara and Rudra who were just staring at the food with their wives looking at them and sighing!

Prithviraj:(looking at Suraj) Suraj, What about The Patrios deal???

Suraj:(nodding) Ji Dad, we will get the deal, anyway!

Anita:(softly) Papa Ji, Suraj! Please, no talks about business here.

Prithviraj:(raising both hands) Sorry beta!

Anita smiled and looked at her front to saw her sons looking at each other, and not eating, to which she frowned.

Anita: Bachon! Why aren't you eating your food?

Shivay:(plainly) We are not hungry, Maa.

Suraj:(sternly) And why is that so?And you three together aren't hungry, haa?

Anita:(to her daughter-in-laws)) Anika, bache serve them!

They three nodded and Anika was about to serve Shivay when He stopped her showing his hand.

Shivaya: I said na, I am not hungry, Anika!

Same happened with Om and Rudra too as they also denied their wives to serve them. Elders were watching all this with blank face.

Prithvi: May I Know what is the matter? If you are not hungry then why are you on the table?

The three looked at each other and sighed.

Suraj:(sternly) Dad is asking something from you three, will you guys open your mouth?

Shivay:(with sad face) You don't remember dad?

Suraj:(blank face) What?

Om: You seriously forgot, or hou don't want to remember dad?

Anita:(sadly) No bacho, please!

Rudra: Why Not Mom?

Prithvi:(sternly) Stop talking in riddles, come to the point.

Shivay: Dadu, its first of July! Four years ago...

Prithvi:(intruppting him) So? This date comes every year, nothing new! Have you food.

The three looked at each other and fisted their hands, and the atmosphere became ackward and cold.

Anika:(trying to fix) Shivay, see I made kheer too, have some na please!

Rudra:(chuckled) Really dadu? If it is normal day then why your eyes look gloomy? And yours too Maa - Dad?

Suraj and Prithvi face hardened and Anita's eyes welled up with tears.

Prithvi:(standing up) I am done.

He was leaving the dining area when stopped in mid.

Prithvi:(blankly) I have already made myself very much clear, that I don't want this topic discussing in my Home! And if anyone have so much problem with the decision I took, then they're free to leave too!

And with this he left from there followed by Suraj who glared his sons. Shivay punched the table making it shake and went from there, followed by Anika. Soon Om and Rudra too left from there And Anita signalled the girls to go with them. She too stood up and moved towards the small temple in the mansion and sat in from of God Krishna's idol!
