Chintan changed through the channels as he sat on the sofa crossed leg in front of the tv, waiting for Pankhuri.

He signed and looked towards the stairs while caressing his hairs. Seeing her nowhere he clicked his tongue and switching off the television he rested his head back against the headrest of the sofa.

He closed his eyes, to give them the comfort they needed. He felt really tired, he so wanted to sleep but couldn't as they had to go to the Dewan house, if this wouldn't have been the case, he would be asleep by now.

For the last few days, he wasn't able to sleep properly, his work has been the biggest reason behind, and last night was the other reason.

With his eyes closed, he slowly found himself drifting into slumber.

'Dumbo...don't run...you will fall...Dumbo...don't'

A woman ran behind a little boy calling him by the name 'Dumbo'. The little toddler ran as fast as he could while giggling through the big playground.

Wearing a school uniform, he ran with his tiny legs. His white shirt half tucked with a loose tie around his neck looked a little dirty.

'Stopping is a no-no...Peehu... ' and he giggled again. The woman smiled and continued to run behind him in a saree while holding it.

'Dumbo... Stop' The woman called out again while smiling and trying to catch her breath before everything around silenced.

The little boy ran as fast as he could, but he turned around as the woman stopped calling his name. Looking around he found the woman nowhere, she was gone.

Before the boy could stop himself, he bumped into someone hard, falling to the ground, he looked up at the man with his brown puppy eyes.

The small pout on his lips turned into a curve. He gave the man a big smile before he hugged his legs because that was the only height he can reach up to.

The man rolled his eyes before he freed himself off the kid's feeble grip. The smile on the boy's face turned back into the small pout.

The man sat on his knees coming on the level of the boy. He held both the arms of the boy tightly, making him flinch.

'Dad... It's paining...Aaahhh... Dad' the boy flinched again as the man pulled him closer.

'Shh... Come on, you are getting late for your boarding school...time to go back' The man scolded the boy getting up again. And he started to pull the little boy again.

'Dad... I don't want to go to boarding... I Don't' The little boy screamed as tears smudged his face, he turned around as the man continued to pull him, the little boy searched for the woman.

'Peehu... Help, Peehu I don't want to go... Peehu... '

Suddenly his father stopped pulling him, he looked in his direction and found no one. His tears stopped, looking around he sniffled.
