"Maa!! Robin..... sweets.....!!" I complained while chasing after Robin around the house who stole my sweets. He always does that. He takes away my food.

One after the other I picked up the stones and shells in the beach sand. Today is Sunday. Sunday means holiday. Papa brought us to the beach. I love the beach. It has water, sand and stones.

When I had a handful of stones and shells, I looked towards Robin. He is actually building a sand tower and Neer(referring to Neeraj) Bhai is helping him. Wanting to build a tower along with him I raced towards them. When I sat down beside Robin, sand flew into Robin's eyes and he started crying, rubbing his eyes.

"Shh... don't rub your eyes. Look at me." Neer Bhai gently blew into Robin's eyes and washed his face with water.

I silently sat beside them watching all this.

"Jai! You're both still so small. You need to be careful next time." He said.

I quickly nodded.

"See... I told you. He likes this toy." Robin said, giving the little monkey toy to Dhiraj. Dhiraj is sleeping in the middle of the bed while playing with his hands and legs.

"But... no drums." I said, shaking my head. The toy has a drum attached to it. It is not playing.

Robin looked at the toy for some time, "Maybe it doesn't have batteries. Ask Neer Bhai."

Nodding, I slided down the bed, "Neer Bhai!!!" I raced to him.

I took the piece of sweet that was placed in my hand and kept it in my mouth. It's so good. I love this sweet. I don't know its name but it tastes good. These sweets are given in a temple near our house. Maa brings us here.

When I was about to take another piece, Robin suddenly snatched it away from me and kept it in his mouth.

"Robin!! It's mine." I screamed. Showing me his tongue and teasing me, he ran away and I chased after him around the temple.

Running on our school grounds, I chased after my schoolmate, trying to catch him. One after the other, our classmates joined us and we started playing.

Suddenly, one boy ran towards Robin and hit him hard. Screaming loud, Robin fell down. I took Robin away. His right hand got hurt. Blood is leaking down and he is crying silently.

Taking my bottle, I cleaned his wound. He hissed in pain.

"Just wait." I said. Once I washed the wound, I took out my hanky and wrapped it around his wound.

"Don't tell Maa." He said.

"She will know." I said.

"How?" He asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know but she knows everything."

He cutely pouted.

As I said, Maa got to know about Robin's wound. She started scolding everyone. Scolding me for playing. Scolding Robin for being careless. Scolding that guy who ran into Robin. While scolding, she started applying cream to Robin's wound and he is hissing in pain.
