The Proud Parents

Nivritti threw away her shoes and jumped on her couch. She called up her family. She had to give them the good news. She was getting promoted, again. She was going to get a salary increase, again. Everyone was appreciating her talent and there was nothing else that she needed. She knew Apeksha would ask for another gift and she was ready to give her.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Guess what?" she shouted over the phone.

"You look happy. Something happened. Tell me, tell me," Sheela too shouted excitedly.

"I am going to get another promotion. Your daughter is going places, mommy," Nivritti shouted at the top of her lungs.

"What? Wow! Congratulations!" Sheela shouted. "Ape! Anil! Come here, hear what Ritti has to say."

"What? What?" asked Apeksha and came into the phone frame.

"Your sister is getting another promotion," said Sheela.

"Wow! Party!!!" shouted Apeksha.
