All three were silent for a while.

MARIA - **WORRIED** "What to do now?" "How to bring him back from that world?"

ARYA - "Aunty, where can I find him?" **CRYING**

MARIA - **HIT ARYA** "That's what I asked now" "Don't you understand my language?"

RAHUL - **GOT PISSED OFF** "Arya please be quiet or else you are out of this world?"

ARYA - "SORRY" **STOPPED CRYING AS WELL** **RUBBING HIS HEAD**

RAHUL - "Can anyone imagine what he might be doing?" **THINKING**

Here in the SHINE-DARK world, the kid waited for his father.

KID - **WAITING** "Where did dad disappear?" "He didn't tell me where he would go?"

The kid waited until sunset and then returned to his grandfather's house. When the kid entered the house his Grandpa stopped him near the door.

GRANDPA - "Baby" **A BIT SERIOUS TONE**

KID - **STOOD STILL** "What grandpa?" **LOW VOICE**

GRANDPA - "Why are you late?" "School got over in the afternoon itself right?" **STARING AT THE KID**

KID - **HEAD DOWN** "I visited to see dad"

GRANDPA - "Without informing me how did you get there?" **LOOKING AT HIM ONLY**

KID - "Sorry Grandpa"

GRANDPA - "So you did a mistake and you accepted it right?"

KID - "YES"

GRANDPA - "Then you should be punished right?"

KID - "YES" **STILL HEAD DOWN**

GRANDPA - "Then do 20 sit-ups now"

KID - **LOOKED AT GRANDPA** "....OKAY"

The kid started doing sit-ups. But Grandpa felt sad looking at the kid.

GRANDPA - **CLEARING HIS THROAT** "Come on, that's enough"

KID - **STOPPED** "Sorry Grandpa"

The kid walked inside and washed up.

GRANDPA - "Baby come for dinner"

KID - "Yes" **SUPRISED**

GRANDPA - "What are you looking for? Come and sit"

KID - "Wow" "CHICKEN, Grandpa is it for me?" **HAPPY FACE**

GRANDPA - **HUGGED HIM** "Yes baby it's for you only" **KISSED ON CHECKS** "Oh my dear baby, if you don't inform me and leave wherever you want, then I will be waiting for you, right?" "I will get scared right?"

KID - **SMILING** "Sorry Grandpa I will never do it again" "PROMISE" **HUGGED BACK**

GRANDPA - "Good boy" **BOTH WERE HAPPY** "Shall I feed you?"

KID - **HAPPILY** YES!!!!"

So Grandpa and the kids had dinner together. They slept happily.

The next morning, Arnold was sleeping under the tree which is near Rudra's shop.

The boy got up early and helped his grandpa with cleaning. Grandpa made breakfast for his baby grandson. And both had breakfast fast.

GRANDPA - "Baby it's getting late, so hurry up!"

KID - "Yes grandpa" **CAME OUT FROM THE ROOM**

GRANDPA - "Finish the lunch box completely?" "And be careful okay?"

KID - "YES!!" "Bye Grandpa"

Although the kid left for school, he just wanted to see if Rudra had returned to his shop. At the same time, Arnold was sleeping under the tree.
