His Pain And Her tears
1 month passed already . Abhay and Mrinal are now quite close . Mrinal shares everything with him and same goes for Abhay . Well NOT EVERYTHING . Nobody knows how cruel he can be. Few days back they went for a picnic , enjoyed their time .
Last night Devika came to Mrinal's room to tell her about tomorrow ' The most painful day of their life ' . She told about the puja which is going to happen tomorrow .
Devika ' Mira beta will you perform this puja with Abhi ? '
' Yes I will . ' She replied wholeheartedly.

Next Day
There was a big picture of his parents in front of the hall.There was a big garland of white flowers on their picture. The picture was during their 10th anniversary. The preist was arranging for puja with Devika and Mrinal . Others were helping her.As Devika asked to call Abhay she went to call him .
Abhay came down with Mrinal . All of them were in white clothes . There was an unexpected silence in the whole Singh Raizada Mansion . Mrinal felt this for the first time . Even the most cheerful person her Chote papa was also standing silently there .
Soon the priest started the ritual . Mrinal could see Abhay's red ices . But this time no anger , no rage only pain . Like a 5 years kid who cried for whole night . Every year on this day he will come out of his room for few hours only . He grabbed Devika's hand tightly . This ruthless mafia shivered remembering his parents brutal death .
No No Mommy , Daddy please . No don't leave me please . NO NO NO NO NO NO
He grabbed Devika's arms tightly just like he used hug her mother's legs in his childhood . Devika made him sit on the place for the puja . Mrinal sat beside him . As soon as Mrinal felt him shivering she took his hand in her hand .Abhay felt relaxed. Soon they also joined the puja and rituals.
After the puja was done the priest went .Abhay went to his room without saying anything. Devika and Vishal went to orphanages after telling Mrinal as Mrinal decided to stay with him.

Inside the car
Devika ' Vishal why our fate was cruel that day ?If that day we didn't let them go they would with us .'
Her voice cracked remembering the day when they lost everything. Their house, their parents, their everything. Vishal rubbed her back in a soothing was and hugged her ' I regret that most in my whole life. They were best thing that happened to us. But we couldn't keep them with us. But don't worry Abhay will soon find that old hag and rest is assured . '
' I hope Abhay will be fine. I want him happy with Mrinal . '
' I also want it . And not only him but also her right . '
' Yes both of them .'
This couple was always there with Abhay's ups and down. Except these two people he never shared anything about his life with anyone. They just want their kid to get love, peace and solace . Though he is a mafia but he never hurt any innocent. He deserves the love. But again their relation is not like husband and wife till now.
**************************
Mrinal went inside Abhay's room as it was open. Abhay hoped that she will come. She went inside with a glass of juice. As she entered she found Abhay sitting on the floor with few things . That were his childhood memories . There were cards which he made for their birthdays after their death . Cause he lost all those memories as their house was burnt. After their death on their birthdays he used to make card and wish them . Mrinal couldn't stop her tears . From the morning she witnessed a different Singh Raizada Mansion . It was not the same in which she entered as the queen of the house . She even saw the workers shedding tears in the morning . Almost all of them were trustworthy person of Abhay's father.
Mrinal silently sat beside him and looked at those cards .They were beautiful and simple . She took one of them and saw the card . At the end of every cards it was written " I miss u Mommy , Daddy . "
She couldn't hold back herself and hugged Abhay. Abhay didn't take a moment to hug her back , They stayed still in each others arms for sometimes . After sometimes Mrinal broke the hug and cupped his face in her hands and said ' Don't cry Mr. Singh Raizada . They won't feel good seeing you crying . '
' They .. they killed Mommy , Daddy . I.. I couldn't ..couldn't save .. save them. I couldn't . '
' Shh Mr. Singh Raizada . You were a kid . It wasn't in your control . I know how much it hurts losing your parents. ' She rubbed his back in a soothing way .
Indeed she knows .
Abhay felt relax after sometimes . They were still in the same position . Then she broke hug and gave him the juice . After that she brought their lunch and fed him .Unexpected to both of them they didn't feel awkward . Instead she loved to feed him while he ate happily. As she completed feeding him he took the spoon , took some food and kept in front of her mouth. She didn't argue but ate it. After completing their food they again started watching all those things . Suddenly Mrinal asked him ' Umm will not prepare a card wishing them Happy marriage anniversary . Maybe they are not with us physically but they are with us always right ? So lets make one for the today . '
Abhay nodded his head and they made a handmade card for them . After making them they kept it in front of the picture which was inside his room .
' Happy Anniversary Mommy , Daddy . '
' Happy Anniversary to you Mommy , Daddy . ' Mrinal only knew that Abhay's parents were killed on their marriage anniversary , not anything more .
