This is a gift for you

Komali's father- "First what you will say to your mother? Your mother doesn't like to take gifts."

The girl's father grimaces and the girl too feels bad.

Komali- "ok no problem… you wait here, I will go and bring your mother..."

Komali's father goes and the little girl thinks of ways to save herself from her mother's anger.

The little girl is lost in thoughts and as she walks, she bumps into someone, this time it's an elder girl who saves her from crash landing on the floor.

Elder girl- "you need to be careful... what happens if you get any injury?"

The elder girl asks Komali to be careful.

Komali- "Sorry Didi..."(*Didi means elder sister in Hindi)

Elder girl- "Did you get any injuries?"

Komali- "No Didi… thank you!"

The older girl bends down to hug Komali and smiles. Such a cute little girl she is!

She spots something shining in the little girl's hand.

Elder girl- "What is this… payal?"

Komali (smiling happily)- "They are beautiful, right?"

The elder girl smiles…

Elder girl- "Very beautiful..."

Komali (proudly)- "Why not? My big brother gave me this..."

Elder girl- "But these are very big. These are not of your size!"

Komali(sadly)- "Yes Didi, but I like these because my brother gave me these..."

Elder sister- "So sweet!" (Pulls Komali's cheeks)

Komali(sadly)- "Mommy will scold me if she finds out that I take gifts from my brother again…that's why I am searching a place to hide them…"

Elder girl (serious tone)- "hmm…ok…may I help you?"

Komali(happily)- "Yes Didi. You keep these with you. When I become big, I will come and take these from you."

Elder girl(laughs) -"Ok, fine... I will give you my address then..." (jokes)

Komali(shyly)- "actually Didi I liked you a lot because you are beautiful, so you only wear these."

Elder girl(worriedly)- "But…"

The elder girl watches in disbelief as Komali runs away screaming.

"You wear those Didi please! It is a gift from me…"

The elder girl smiles not knowing what do to. Another girl of her age joins her…

2nd girl(surprisingly)- "these payal are very beautiful...today is your birthday right so I wanted to gift you first…but no problem... its ok.."

Elder girl- " But I don't know that kid..."

2nd girl- "So what…she gifted these to you with love, wear them."

The latter sighs as she pockets those anklets. She'll wear them later, time for pooja.
