*Crackling* noise of the burning wood black smoke rising from the Pyre

People in white are attending the funeral some are crying some are sad and others are silent

"Grandpa what are we doing and where are mom and dad" a kid asked looking up at the old man beside him

"Ashwin Mom and Dad went to a faraway place in the sky and became a star," the grandpa with moist eyes and a sad face told Ashwin

"Yes Ashwin now keep quiet and be a good boy if you don't Mom...*sob* and Dad will scold you....*sob* You don't want to make them angry now....*sob* Do you" the old lady beside Ashwin told him while crying

"Grandma don't cry I will be a good boy please don't cry" Ashwin got panicked and became quite like a good boy
