Toddler Shrid and his big brother who was 4 year older than him was standing in park with their mother.Black saree with matching blouse was covering her body.Her dark black eyes was shining even they were black,her black hair was opened and was riding air.
"Mummy Is dad coming today"Aanand asked her mother with hope in eyes that his mother will say yes and after many weeks he will be able to see his father.
"Yes,He is coming tonight"His mother answered with a smile.
"When?"He asked with more hope and excited.
"I think he will come late after both of you go sleep."Her smile flew away which breaked his hope but her smile came when she continued."I will wake you up when he will."
"Yes,I will try my best to not sleep tonight."He raised his small fist in air.
"No no! You shouldn't"She refused
"I said I will wake you up"She added with a smile.
"Mumma M..mmum.a"Toddler Shrid pulled his mother saree and she looked at him.
"What it is?"She asked looking at him.He pulled her saree more and then she crouched.".."
"Mumma...Mum..ma look."He said pointing his little sleepy finger at the flag which was waving in sky.All people around them started to clap.
The ceremony of independence day was completed and only national anthem remains.To attract everyone in park the host shouted in mike."Everyone get ready for national anthem"
