All the servants were running from one work to other . Swati Shergill was screaming continuously making sure everything was perfect.

"What happened Chachi , why have you raised hue and cry throughout the house" asked Samarthy rubbing his eyes as he just woke up.

"MUMMA STOP SHOUTING" screamed Naina and Nen in unison following Samarthy .

Soon all of them gathered in the living room , seeing their aunt/mother going mad on the arrangements

"Chachi , what are you doing?"- Amrita managed to stop her and asked

"Oh, my goodness these useless children just woke up . Stop barging in my work , get freshen up and help me" - exclaimed Swati

"The last time I remember Lohri celebrations happen in evening time and its 10.00 in the morning even guests haven't started arriving??" said Ishaan

"It's not for the guest , my baby , my Devika is coming after years for Lohri , it's for her , now get your dumb asses ready" said Swati happily loving the idea of Devika being at home for Lohri celebration .

"It's for her , your Official Favorite Child" asked Amaan with are-you-kidding-me look

"YES"

"I don't remember the last time we were given such special treatment ,are we all adopted that it's just her that you are excited for , I don't think our absence or presence matters"- said Ranvijay

"Of course, it doesn't , Now I have to go and prepare Evi's favorite food" retorted Swati and marched towards the kitchen and everyone scowled at her exiting figure .

"Looks like we have no importance" Nen shrugged her shoulders and went away .

(Ambika's nickname - Naina also her middle-name , Nen is Nandita's nickname )

Soon , Devika's car pulled up in the most familiar house . The place where her existence came in , her childhood memories flooded, and nostalgia hit her hard . She entered the house, and she could very well see her family overdoing themselves . She chuckled to herself and approached the first familiar figure in her sight : Munim Ji , their house warden in childhood , that is the only description that would fit him right , she bowed down to touch his feet as a mark of respect and asked about her dad and went towards the backyard , as he told , and saw her dad with her brothers, she walked to them and signaled her brothers to stay quiet as her father has still not seen her and covered his eyes

"Guess who it is papa" asked Samarthy

"Even in unconsciousness I can identify the touch of these hands and the presence of my lovey dove"- said Rajveer and turned around to hug her daughter
