"Mumma... What's in there?" .... Arnav asked his mother.
"A gift for you"
"Gift? What gift? Car? Aeroplane?"
"No darling"
"Then what? Can I see it mumma?"
"Not now. You'll have to wait."
"How long?"
"Until it's time"
......................
"Daadi, when will mumma come home?"
"In a few minutes beta.... with your gift."
Arnav wondered about this gift. Everyone have been telling him about this. But what was that?
Just then his parents came and he stared at the bundle in his mother's hands.
"Arnav, this is the gift I promised you. Your little sister. Be with her and take care of her always. She's all yours."
