asked, “Okay wait. Let me tell you a story about myself.
Would you like to hear it?”
“Oh yes, Papa!” I said, excitedly.
He started. “A few years ago, when you were in the school
down the road and I used to work from home, remember,
I used to come pick you up every day in the afternoon
when your school got over?”
“I remember Papa. Then we used to have those syrup ice-
creams outside the school from the cart vendor.”
“That’s right, Keshav. And do you remember, your friends
Vibhu and Pari used to join us too? And fight with you if
they finished their ice-creams before you for yours?” he
asked, smiling.
“Oh yes, Papa! Vibhu still fights with me at my new school
for the tiffin,” I said.
“And I can no longer come and pick you up from your
new school,” my father said. “It’s too far for me. And do
you remember Pari?” he asked.
“Yes Papa. I remember her now! But it’s been so long since
I met her.”
