"Papa peeez (plz) !" Making a puppy face look, she requested Mr. Farhan to celebrate the festival. But he couldn't register her cute little acts as he was in mourning. His wife was hospitalized due to COVID 19 in a serious condition. He still wasn't able to admit the strong possibilities of losing her. Moreover, the changed behaviour of his kindreds was not letting him to overcome. Today was Eid. His 3 years old daughter knew nothing, about circumstances. The poor girl was thinking of her mom's soon re-arrival. "aa u clying ? (are u crying)" She asked her father, wiping his tears. Now the tears started flooding from his eyes and he hugged her tightly. "Sorry kiddo ! I can't do anything today. We are quarantined. Even our loved ones have turned away. Sorry for today, sweetheart, some other day." She kissed her father and said "ichchhoke (it's ok)" with a big convinced smile.
"Ding-Dong" The door bell rang.
