"Rudraksh beta, hum agli baar pakka chalenge" Rudraksh's mother told him for the fifth time.

Like always

"Maasa, agli baar kab?" Innocent Rudraksh asked her mother who knew she couldn't answer this question

"Chalo Meera" she heard her husband's voice to which she hurriedly kissed her son forehead and said bye.

He was alone

Again.

In this big house

It was just him and the servents

Entire Arora family has gone to the Durga Pooja that is held once in a year in the sacred temple of Jodhpur.

His previous home.

The home that had all his childhood memories.

Will he ever be permitted to attend such traditions with his family

The five year old Rudraksha spent his entire day crying with just one question in his innocent mind

"Why couldn't he be with his family?"

Flashback ends

"Rudra, aaj aap yeh peheniye" Samaira's voice snapped me back to reality

She kept a white kurta with golden embroidery and a matching pair of dhoti on the bed and went ahead to dressing table and get ready

She is not ready yet as choti maa had kept her busy with the Pooja work

It makes me happy and surprised that how fast she has adopted to this house's traditions.

I looked at her through the mirror.

It would be a lie if I say I don't find her attractive.

She's everything a man wants. Beautiful, delicate yet strong, clumsy yet organized, talkative yet shy.

A sound of something falling on the floor brought my attention back to her

She bent down to pick up the bottle, she tucked her hair behind the ear while picking it up

It's all the details
