Celebration

                                    

                                          
Next day when Swamini woke up, it was quite late. Sumedh was already awake and he wasn't in the room. Swamini stood up and felt a little pain in her stomach but still she walked towards bathroom.
Swamini looked at herself in mirror. Her hair were messy and she was looking destroyed! She saw a hickey on her neck and blushed thinking about last night.
Sumedh was already ready and was downstairs drinking tea with Amit.
"Tum dono kyu itne jaldi uth jate ho" Ridhi came there. She was still in her night suit.
"Hi Didi.. Baccha kaisa hai?" Amit asked.
"Mujhe sona hai aur wo sone de nahi raha hai.. Bahot ulti jaisi feeling aa rahi hai. Kuch khaya nahi ja raha" Ridhi complained.
"Breakfast me ice cream khao.. Accha lagega" Sumedh advised "Tumhara baccha hai after all.. Galat aadatein abhi se hongi" 
Ridhi chuckled "Main ab nahi khati itna ice-cream.."
"Ridhi tumhe kya khana hai batao" Aaradhya came there "Main bana dungi jo bhi tumhe chahiye par aise hi baith nahi sakti tum"
"I hope mujhe kuch cravings ho.. Cravings ki wajah se toh shayad kuch kha pau.. Man hi nahi karta mera kuch khane ka" Ridhi said.
They saw Swamini coming downstairs.
"Good Morning Vahini" Amit said "What a beautiful day today"
Swamini furrowed her brows "Why are you so random"
"Bas aise hi" Amit answered casually.
"Ignore Amit, save your sanity" Sumedh sighed.
Everyone laughed.
"Aaj Bhaiyya Saheb ke liye bada din hai.. Pata chalne wala hai aaj ki aapka future kya hoga" Ruturaj reminded.
"I am already very nervous.. Tum log soch nahi sakte itna nervous" Prithviraj said.
"Mat hoiye nervous itna" Ridhi said "I am sure sab thik hoga"
"Let's hope" Aaradhya said.
Prithviraj was feeling like this morning was the longest one in history. It's really hard to sit and wait for something to happen!
Aaradhya was sitting beside him whole morning. She was holding his hand and was trying to calm him down.
Slowly everyone gathered in living room and sat around to wait for news. All these people who were not ready to see each other few weeks ago were sitting together. They all were united to support Prithviraj.
Prithviraj had kept his phone on table and everyone was sitting on ground around that table. Each passing minute was making it harder to wait more and after what felt like eternity, Prithviraj's phone rang.
Everyone gasped. Prithviraj widened his eyes.
"Hath pakdo sab log" Ridhi said.
They were sitting in circle and grabbed each other's hands. Prithviraj took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
Everyone was holding their breaths. They were waiting for Prithviraj to end the call. His expressions were changing. Aaradhya was on verge to cry. Prithviraj just disconnected the call and looked at everyone.
"Committee ne uss din bataya tha ki they think I didn't kill people intentionally.. Surely not because of casteism.. They believe I did everything for the safety of my team and my family.. Government agreed with the report and is giving my posting back to me" Prithviraj said.
Everyone smiled widely and clapped. They happily cheered for Prithviraj and congratulated him. Aaradhya hugged Prithviraj tightly and broke down in tears.
