Ho... Ho... Ho...

Jingle bells... Jingle bells...

A man wearing santa costume entered in Snow Flakes Junior High School, Delhi.

"Mery Christmas..." The says in his fake heavy voice adjusting the bundle of gifts on his shoulder and fake bulge belly. All children gathers around him asking him for gifts. He sits on a single seater sofa which is placed center of school's ground. Some teachers are also there for care of children.

"Line se aao... Sabko gifts milenge..." The Santa says. Then all kids are stand in a row. They comes kisses santa's cheek, take gift from him and moves towards classroom happily. Some kids demands "Santa mujhe pink colour wala gift dena..." And some tells me" mujhe na bada wala gift dena.." Santa laughed at their antics and try to complete everyone's wish.

Every kid get their gift but one girl left. When she reached at Santa, there is  nothing left for her. Her face fell she looks at ground. Some tear drops also fells on it. Santa looks that girl he is about to say something to her just then she runs away from him.

"Miss Divya... Maine aapke bataye hue numbers ki hisab gift laya tha ye bachhi kaise reh gyi... Ye last week absent thi ya aapne ise count hi nahi kiya tha." The mam a asked one of the teacher feeling disheartened.

"Sir maine to aapko sahi bataya tha. Actually is bachhi ka abi 3 din pehele admission hua hai. Isiliye ise count nahi kiya..." Divya told him in slow and shivering voice.

" To aapko mujhe atleast kal to inform kar dena tha ki ek new admission bhi hai... This is wrong na. Ab us bachhi ko kaisa feel hoga jab wo class me jaegi, sabke pass unke favourite gifts hai sirf uske pass nahi.." he says to her.

Divya want to say something but the man moved towards the direction where the little angel runs. Reaching other side of ground he found that girl is sitting under the big banyan tree. Her face is hidden between her knees. It clearly visible that she is crying. The man remove his fake Belly, Santa dress, cap and at last white beard and moustache.

Now he is in crisp grey shirt and black trousers. He ruffles his hairs to set them. Yes, he is non other than Sameer. Sameer Maheshawari, a well known personality. 28 y/o businessman. Relationship status- hidden from world. Live in Delhi with his grandfather Jaiprakash Maheshawari.

He sits beside her, swayed his hand on her hair. The girl move her head up with jerk. But after seeing him she wipe her tears quickly. " Sorry sir, aap kaun..?" She asked. " I am Santa, actually who acted Santa.." he says with smile. "Oh... Sorry maine pehchana nhi..." She says in apological tone. "It's okay baccha, by the way what is beautiful name...? He asked her.

"Chahat...! My name is Chahat..." The girl tells her name to him. "Wow kitna pyara nam hai chahat... As beautiful as you...!" Listing her name his face fell but he composed himself with his sweet smile. "Sorry baccha don't know that you get admission here just before 3 days, and your teacher, divya, tells me counts of  children last week...!"

"It's okay, sir... Ho jata hai..." Chahat says him with teary eyes and runs towards her classroom. He is looking at her back losted somewhere. His ringing phone break his trance. After attending the all he left from there. He reached at home and directly headed towards his room without noticing that his Nanu is sitting in hall on his ar chair. He changed in comfortable clothes and moves towards balcony gazing at sky.

"Kaha khoye hue ho barkhurdar...!"  Nanu enter in his room holding two coffee mugs in his hand. Moving towards balcony he placed that mugs on small table. And put his arms around Sameer's shoulder.

"Kya bat beta? Pareshan hai? Aaj tu school gaya tha na? Kuch hua kya waha?" Nanu asked him worried about him.

"Aaj ek bachhi se mila nanu. Chahat. Chahat nam hai uska. 3 din pehele admission hua tha isiliye uska gift nahi tha mere pass.!" He tells everything which happened in school. "Nanu.. us bachhi ka chehera meri aankhon se jaa hi nahi raha..."

"Hota hai ye le coffee pi, aur rest kar thoda. Shakal dekhi hai apni kaisa hota jaa raha hai. Budhha mai hu par lagta tu hai. Beta thoda apna dhayan rakha kar na. Itna kam bhi achhi bat nahi. Isiliye kehta hu shadi kar le..."

"Please nanu ab fir se wo hi sab baten nahi... Maine aapko pehle bhi bataya hai na mujhe shadi nahi karni. Mai akela hi thik hu.... Khush hu...!" He says annoyingly to nanu. Jaiprakash Maheshawari everytime try to get ready for marriage but he always refused his idea saying that mai akela bi thik hu.. khush hu.

She is working under famous designer. Living in two BHK flat with her daughter and her single land lady Ms. Jenifer D'Cruz. 50 year old kind hearted lady. She didn't marry b'coz she believes that women's didn't need men's to spend their life.

Back to naina, she is feeding dinner to Chahat. "Mumma, aaj pata hai humare school me Santa aaye the." Little girl says to her. "Achha.. to fir unhone aapko gift bhi diya hoga na..." Naina asked her. "No, unke gifts khatam ho gye the, teacher ne mujhe count nhi kiya tha mera admission abi 3 days pehle hi hua h na that's why....!" Chahat told her mother the reason why she didn't receive any gift from Santa. Chahat tells further story to naina. "Bad manners na bachha, aapko rone ki kya zrurat thi mumma hai na aapko gifts dene k liye, aap batao aapko kya chahiye, mumma le aayegi aapke liye." Naina asked chahat that what she wants in Christmas gift. "Wo mai aapko nhi bataungi, wo to mai sirf santa ko bataungi. Mumma hum kal church chalenge na." Chahat says in excitement. "Why not angle, Offcourse chalenge." Sound comes at door step, Jenifer is there holding a try full of Cup cakes. "Wow... Granny aapne cup cakes banaye hai... Mere liye...!?"

Chahat kissed her cheeks and says thank you to her.

"Don't you think She needs father...?"  Jenifer says to Naina after leaving of Chahat towards her room for sleep. "I dont think so. Maine ki kami nhi rakhi hai mom jisse wo father ki kami feel kare." Naina says this because she know very well that what jennifer will say further. "Ek bacche ko jitni zrurat mother ki hoti hai na utni hi zrurat father ki bhi hoti hai. Ye mai bhut achhe se janti hu. Because i am also a child of single mother. Naina, i you should start searching best man for yourself and father for her too." Jennifer says cares in her head. After that she leaves from there. Naina moves towards balcony and looks towards sky who is complete because as partner it have it's moon and stars are it's children.

She says with sad face. "To aap Cristian ho..?" He asked her to change topic. "Umm... No... Mai aur mumma Hindu hai par Jesus pe bhi believe karte hai. Mumma kehti sare gods ek hote hai." She tells him about her religion and also tells him what her mom says. "This is right bachha. Achha abi aap jao apni class me. Ok...!" Ge says her to moves towards class kissing her forehead.

"Ma'm i want to meet Chahat's mom." Sameer approach Chahat's principal. "Kyu kya hua sir..? Chahat misbehave kiya kya aapke sath..?" Principal Mrs Sharma asked him thinking that may be she misbehave with well known personality and she gets scare after having a thought of she will definitely lost her biggest charity ammount from Maheswaris.

"Nahi... Nahi.. ma'm chahat ne aisa kuch nhi kiya... Infact she very well-mannered girl. I just want meet her mom. So can you call her here... Agar ho sake to abi..!" Sameer clears her doubt and she takes sigh of relief. "Sure sir, mai abi call karti hu unhe aap please 10 minute wait kijiye..!" She says.

After 15 to 20 minutes later a lady appears in front of him. Wearing simple black suit with multicolored leheriya print dupatta. "Hello...! I am Naina, Chahat's mom... Principal ne mujhe bataya aapko mujhse milna hai.!"  Naina greeted him in genuine way. "Hello, myself Sameer Maheshawari. Umm.. kya hum kahi bahar chal k bat kar sakte hai.?" He put his idea to talk outside of school. Naina looks questing eyes. " Relax, i am a family man. Mujhe sirf aapse bat karni aur i think school ko personal baton se dur rakhna better hoga. Yehi pass me ek garden hai hum waha chal sakte hai... If... You... Have... No... Problem...!" He says with sweet smile. "Thik hai.. chaliye..!" Naina agreed to go cafe with him.

They are sitting in cafe he ordered coffee for themselves. Sameer is tapping his feet on floor and fidgeting his fingers. All this seen by naina. "Mr. Maheshwari aap kuch kehna chahte hai kya...?"

"Aap Pehle meri puri bat sun lijiye fir aap jo bhi kahengi mujhe manjur hai."  He says after taking deep breath. She nodded in agreement.
