Dhwani missed her parents. Everyday. Every night. Every time she saw a family.
She longed to see her brother one last time. Dhanush was Dhwani's everything. He was her world. She had felt guilty about being more sad about his demise than that of her parents.

I turned towards them with a smile.
A person can hide even the most broken heart with a smile.
"Why are you shouting? " I enquired. 'Bhook lag rahi hai. " She replied with a grin.
Her stomach growled as if to agree to her statement.
"Then lets go feed that monster in your stomach. "

Mahika was cutting some vegetables as Dhwani made supper.
Arya sat on the slab watching us.
"You know, This is the first time I feel like I have a real family. "
"Aww. We love you too." Mahika replied sweetly.
"And you are doing the dishes." I added in.
