Saksham sniffed a little and smelled a sweet smell of lily coming from the girl's hand. This evoked a smile on his lips. He acted as if he was thinking, "Menaks.h.i.+?"

"Wrong!" The girl replied.

"Radhika?"

"Once again, wrong." The girl said.

"Hmm….yeah! I know who it is! You are Himika!" Saksham suddenly laughed and said.

"Are my hands that fat?" Anitha pouted sadly, uncovering Saksham's eyes.

"Hahahaha! Just kidding. I knew that it was my Anitha." Saksham laughed.

Suddenly, Saksham's eyes widened as he realized that he had said something wrong.

'F*Ck! F*ck!' Saksham screamed in his heart.

"I-I meant that, I kn-knew that it was you …my friend Anitha. Who el- else would it be? Right? Right?" Saksham stuttered nervously.

Anitha just smiled at this and sat beside Saksham and watched the students playing various kinds of sports. Saksham saw this and his nervous heart also calmed down a little. He shook his head and once again started watching the students playing. Both Anitha and Saksham sat there, silent, don't know what each of them thinking, but in the company of each other, both felt happy and tranquil at this moment.

Anitha's playful behavior only showed in front if Saksham and he knew it. When he was small, whenever he used to get sad, Anitha would cheer him up with her playful ways and Saksham had always been grateful to her for that. Sometimes, he would just act to be sad only to see Anitha's rare playful behavior.

It was 3:15 P.M and Saksham was already at home. He was now desperately waiting for the clock to hit 3:30 P.M. Today, Arjun took a holiday and went with his wife to the lottery office to get the prize money of the lottery they had won. And after they got the money, they immediately contacted the friends and relatives from whom they had borrowed the money from.

They asked the total amount of money they still needed to pay and then, they would make a list. After making a full list, they had already started transferring money to them through internet banking. Till now, Arjun and Savitri were almost finished with the list. As the list came closer and closer to the end, both Arjun and Savitri felt a heavy load slowly getting off their shoulders. They felt that they could breathe a little easier now.

Saksham was also happy for his parents. He just looked at the excited couple and snickered silently in his heart. 'Now, everything will be alright.' Saksham thought.

At this time, suddenly, someone knocked on the front door. When Saksham heard this, he immediately looked at his wrist.w.a.tch and found that it was exactly 3:30 P.M. His heart thumped wildly in his chest. He slowly walked over to the door and opened it. When he saw who was outside the door, Saksham was surprised.

It was none other than his miser uncle and aunts. When they saw Saksham open the door, they unceremoniously went in without even taking off their shoes. They went into the hall and sat down arrogantly on the sofa. Arjun and Savitri who were busy working suddenly saw someone coming in. When they saw who it was, Arjun's face immediately cramped up and Savitri was not much better.

"Little brother, I heard that you have recently made some fortune for yourself? You are even giving people their money back. Why didn't you tell this good news to us? This is something worth celebrating." Akash sneered.
