Nivritti and Sheela were extremely busy for two days shopping, inviting, cleaning, and getting the house ready for Diwali. They dusted and broomed and wiped every single surface, cleaned every sheet, every cushion cover, every pillow cover, blanket cover, everything.
They both wiped the windows and doors and walls with disinfectant and made the house sparkling clean. For the duration, Nivritti packed her books, and her mother made a shrine for the gods they were going to worship on Diwali on that shelf.
Sunday flew by in an instant and left both mother and daughter tired. Monday morning, they woke a little late and then started hurrying for the day. They had to cook, clean, and hang the lights all over the house.
While Sheela was preparing for food, Nivritti helped her as much as she could. She had to work through the pain. Sheela made sure that Nivritti took proper rest between her work.
