Aaradhya's pov :

" Aru, have you brought cool drinks? " Ithika asked.

"Yes, Sweety I have brought them and keep them in the fridge. "

" Sweety, did you completed decorating the cake?"  I asked.

Most of the time I call Ithika as Sweety.

"Ha yes Aru, just need to add some cherries," Sweety said.

"Ok. Do it fast. It's time, they may be on their way. I have already completed my cooking. "

Hey!Thinking about what we both are doing? Let me explain.

Mahira and Purvi worked very hard for the dance academy to get permissions, license and all. Finally, they started it and at present, the student's count is also increasing.

They are working day and night for the sake of the academy.

I and Ithika thought to do a little celebration to congratulate and encourage them for the hard work they are doing to build their dream.

So Ithika is baking a cake, as she is a very good baker.

I on the other hand cooked chicken biryani and fish fry as these two are their favourite dishes.

I and Ithika love cooking very much. So we are the chefs in our house.

I can hear horn sounds.

"Sweety I think they came. Switch off the lights. "

"Ok. Done." She switched off the lights.

Mahira and purvi opened the door and switched on the lights.

" Surprise. " I and Sweety shouted.

                                                           Cake Ithika has prepared.

"Girls. What are all these?" Asked  surprised Purvi and Mahira.

"Congratulations to both of you for successfully starting the dance academy and we both hope it will reach great heights with your hard work. " Sweety said.

"Congratulations girls. You both are the best." I said.

They both had tears in their eyes and immediately hugged us.

"Hey! Why are you two crying? " asked Sweety.

"We are not crying these are happy tears," Mahira said wiping the tears.

"Thank you guys for all your wishes. Thank you so much for being with us" said both.

"You both helped us some much in the journey of this academy. Thank you girls for everything ." Purvi said.

"Oye! Stop this emotional episode. Come let us eat dinner. I'm very hungry " I said bringing them back to normal mood.

"Biryani and Fish fry. Yummy. I'm also very hungry ." Mahira shouted.

"Ok come. Let's eat." Sweety said.

We all enjoyed our dinner and cake.

Ithika suggested watching a movie. So we started watching "SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING" and next "SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME ".
As today is Friday night, so I and Ithika having a holiday on Saturday and Sunday except if there is important work. Mahira and purvi both have their own academy, so they can set there own timings. So we enjoyed ourselves till 3 am and slept in the hall itself.

Next Day

We all are up by 11 am. Not in a mood to cook, so we thought to go out to have lunch.

We all got ready and left to our favourite restaurant.

We completed our lunch with random talks.

Mahira and Purvi left to the academy.

Ithika went to spend some time with Rahul bhaiya's parents. She takes good care of them. They are also a sweet couple, who treats Ithika as there own daughter. They are also close to the three of us, as we also visited them many times along with Ithika, but today I have got some important work, so only Sweety is visiting them.  I also wish to get in-laws like them.

Today my important work is to visit one of my student's parents.

Her name is Deepthi. She is a good student, but the problem is she will cry and panic whenever she score less marks on tests or sometimes she will cry just by seeing the question paper.

I have comforted her and said sometimes scoring less is ok, we can improve in the further test. Then she said my parents will scold me if I score less marks and again started crying. Then I  promised her I will speak to her parents and they will not scold her.

I  have called her parent's numbers many times but they never attended my calls. When I asked her about this, she said they may be at their offices and they are always busy with their work. She said they will only get home at night after she slept and they will leave to their offices before she is up. Her nanny will take care of her.

What sort of rubbish is this. Money is important to survive, I agree with it. But money is not everything. They should spend some time with their children.

Today I'm going to meet her parents in their offices, they own an advertising company which is one of the topmost company in the city. I have already took an appointment to meet them.

I have reached the company.

I went towards the reception.

"Good afternoon mam. How may I help you? " asked the receptionist.

"Good afternoon. I have an appointment with Mr and Mrs Gupta." I said.

"Let me check mam. May I know your name?"

"Aaradhya Varma." I replied.

She made a phone call and asked me to go to the third floor.

I reached the third floor and a good looking man, I think he is their P.A  guided me to a room.

"Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Gupta."

"Good afternoon Miss Verma. Is there a problem with our daughter at school? Why did you personally visit us? We should have visited the school if we got notice." Asked Mrs Gupta in a sweet voice.

From where should I notify. You both will not attend to my calls. I thought in my mind.

"I have tried a couple of times to both of your numbers but no one attended. Anyways it is good to talk to you both in person, as you both are busy I thought  to meet you both in your office itself ." I replied with the same sweet voice.

"Oh! Sorry, Miss. Verma regarding the calls. We both are having a tight schedule. May I know the reason for your visit? " this time Mr Gupta answered.

" Deepthi is your one and only daughter. Am I correct? "

"Yes." Both replied.

"All your earnings, money, hard work is for deepthi's bright future. Am I correct? "

"Yes." Both replied.

"Don't take me wrong. I should not interfere in your personal life, but I'm saying all this for Deepthi's good. I treat all my student as my children and I am not able to see a bright student like Deepthi crying and panicking each time. " I said.

Both saw me with a shock on their face.

"Anyone of you scolding Deepthi for getting less marks in exams?" I asked.

"Miss. Varma every parent will scold, if their child got less marks, we want her to study well for her future. It is for her own good." Answered Mr Gupta.

"I agree with you, sir. They need to study in order to have a good future.  In Deepthi's case, she is a clever student who listens to classes carefully and works hard. You both have given her best school, best teachers, best clothes and everything she has is best, but she has no one to share if she did something best in school, for example, if today her teacher praised her in the class for her answer to a question then she wants to share it with her parents and wish to listen them saying "very good deepu." "you are the best deepu". But her parents are too busy to say these words. I agree all these hard-working is for Deepthi happiness but only money and the best things will not always give happiness. Sometimes just your presence and your few words are needed. I request you both to think carefully regarding this issue. Deepthi needs you both in her life along with all the things you both provided to her. I think she is missing you both so much but she doesn't know how to express it and it is showing an impact on her studies. Again sorry for interfering in your personal life." I said.

Both are looking very disappointed and have tears in their eyes.

There is complete silence for some time in the room.

After sometime

"Thank you, Miss. Verma for caring this much for our daughter and meeting us personally. If you have not come here today we may have never realised our mistake. Thank you once again. " said Mrs Gupta.

"It is my responsibility mam and thank you for understanding me. I will take my leave now. " I said standing from the chair.

"Ok. Thank you, Miss.Varma. We will send you off." Saying this both stood up.

"No...No. It's ok. I will go myself ." I said and left from there.
