The lights of the pandal where the Ganeshji idol was kept was piercing the sky.
A sight at the arrayed delicacies was enough to make anyone hungry .
The kids played in merry go round , decked in colorful ethnic dresses, while the elders chatted away their hearts .
While the ladies flaunted their new silk Saree while the men caught up on talks on the good inflation .
Their was music on one side and elaborate food serves on the other side .
A majestic idol of the god looked upon all the people of the Sabya colony, gazing from 15 feet.
This was a perfect festival arrangement anyone could think of .
Tanu and Manu sat in one side of the crowd visibly lost in thoughts .
Girija, their mom walked along with the other ladies to attend the Aarti , trying to avoid eye contact with her kids .All three knew the reason of their silence but none tried to intrigue .
After a series of events of grand pooja, music concert, colony talent show , sumptuous dinner , Ganapathi visargan everyone bid good night to call it a day .
Manu and Tanu changed into night dress, while Girija ties her hair into a knot as she double checked the lock of the main door .
The kids were kissed and tugged into the bed lovingly by mom. As she switched off the bedroom light , a door bell rang.
Thinking who could it be at this odd hour , Girija walked to open the door .
A man, whose figurine was like a Greek god stood in front of her making her awestruck.
He immediately , shhhh-ed her, held her hand and walked into the main hall where there was bleak light
Quietly , he walked into the room where Tanu and Manu slept and whistled, like some signature tune
The kids pounced from the bed and hugged their dad in joy that knew no bounds .
