The next day, both Sanchit and Myra woke up with a new resolution and new determination.
"You know what to do, don't you?" - Sanchit said to Myra over the breakfast.
"It's Father's Day, today." Myra was looking at her phone.
"Right, we need to stay calm and deal with our fathers, today." he was amused.
"No, I mean it is Father's Day today." She showed him her phone calendar.
"Good." Sanchit nodded his head. His eyes sparkled and he whispered, "Let's blackmail them."
Myra called up her home. Her mother received the call.
Myra hesitated a moment, and then with a fluttering heart, she said - "How are you, mother?"
"I am well. Is there something important?" her mother replied in a stern tone.
"It's Father's Day today; I called for him and also …" Myra said meekly. Her voice trailed as courage seeped out of her hands and feet.
