Door opened and cool breeze touched her face......tickling her.....she closed her eyes to feel it but nothing felt so good to her

......everywhere.....everything was just same from two months..... Same she......same house and same wind.......
She chuckled slowly and looked around as if searching something.....
It's their yes......its their.....but what was so new......

It was daily routine....... Early morning..... Her coming out to feel the air..... And then those flowers lying on floor with a note......
She picked those flowers....... And ran inside.....raman was coming from kitchen with wearing an Aprin......he looked at her and then those lilies in her hands........

Somewhere he knew who was the person who use to keep those lilies there.....but she didn't knew......she always asked him......who kept him.....but he always smiled......a sarcastic smile in answer......
He took those white lilies from her and goes in room.......she too followed him....

Both stood outside the door......raman took a long breath holding the door knob.....
She kept her hand on his hand as if assuring him......he closed his eyes and both together plastered a big smile on their face......and together opened the door.......happily chirping.......
"good morning......"
Her steps again halted seeing the view in front of her eyes......she gulped down her saliva......and mustered the courage to go ahead......

Raman changed the flowers in the vase.......and headed towards the bed......
He sat on the bed and looked at her standing far still near the door.......

"won't you wish her.....?? It's her birthday...."

Raman's voice brought her back from her trance and she headed near the bed......she sat too with raman and said .......

"Happy birthday ishima..."

It was pihu.....she expected a reply from her mother of thank you and a kiss......but she didn't got any.....
Raman looked at Ishita, he tilted his head sideways and wiped his tears.....from the corner of his eyes.....he again bend and kissed her forehead......

"happy birthday madrasan"

"wake up now.....how much will you sleep.....??.....its almost......"

His voice died in his throat......

"2 months"

Completed pihu saying this and looked at Ishita blankly.......
