Twinkling stars and moon with some scattered clouds, made the sky beautiful. The cool breeze, refreshing the soul, blew.

Khushi looked at the shawl wrapped around her and raised her head to see a young boy with eyes that reflected Her Arnav in him. A smile spread on her face and she caressed his cheeks.

"You shouldn't be here.. in this cold. It's not good for you" He said softly with concern

"This cold.." Khushi looked around "It doesn't effect me" Khushi looked at him "My whole life...I spend in this coldness"

"That time was different but now it hits hard and probably that's why I saw you shivering" He looked at her for answers

"I don't know..I don't know what trembled me but I know this, it wasn't cold" Khushi said with distanced glance

He looked at her, trying to read her eyes and he found the issue right away.

"Looking like not many well wishers of us are alive. That's why the bad ones are closing up" he knew she didn't appreciate his reply but he wasn't the one to care

"There are still some, here and out there." Khushi looked at him stiffly

"I know here, they are, but out there, I don't know if it's true or even if they exist" He shrugged not caring for her cold gaze

She closed her eyes for a moment. Her lips parted as she breathed trying to compose herself. He watched her keenly.

"I think we should go inside" He wrapped his hands around her shoulder, his face soften

Khushi looked at him sadly.

"Arav..." Khushi started softly

"Please... mom" Arav said with a wave of hand

Khushi sighed. Her son never listens her. She wonders what made him this cold when she didn't let the coldness of world touch him.

The snow flew and fell on sidewalk as a speeding car passed over it. Another car sped over the same path, followed by the third car. They were in a speed beyond the maximum.

She accelerated the car and smiled victoriously. The disappointment surge through her as she saw the other car beside her's. She groaned as he smirked. Another car too came there.

"Fine.. So you want this?" She mumbled as she accelerated the car to an infinite speed

The speed was too high to be normal. It was in their genes. To race across the road with no price other than fun.

Madhu was combing her hair. Rishab, her husband, came and hugged her from behind. Madhu smiled with a sigh. She looked at his reflection in mirror. He placed his chin on shoulder.

"Where's your brat?" Rishab looked at her in mirror

"Your brat." Madhu retorted rolling her eyes "Must be racing after all your brat has genetic defect of racing" Madhu came out of his arms and looked at him sharply

"Oh yeah the beautiful genetic defect. We both also have that, there's nothing wrong in it" Rishab shrugged and sat on bed leisurely
