at a same direction which takes him deeply
at the depth of his past events which put him really on all his struggles that he passed throughout of a long time of years and years even about his distressed life.His eyes were wet and was totally broken.Suddenly he heard some body was calling him out and he returned back to his present state.
"Hello...... it's 10 rupees", Said the shop owner.
"Oh!.... Yes sorry ,here is your money".He
bought his balance and kept in his pocket and moved on.While he was walking actually was thinking about something .His thought was about the huge amount which he is going to receive that he never ever seen before till his age of 45.No ,he was not greedy at all but was too innocent because his thought was how to handle such a large amount of money.He couldn't

"Can't you see any thing?Are you mad?

asked his elder daughter Riya.

His three children called out him one by one.
"Oh! my sweet hearts......"
"Come to me ....."He called out them and kissed them up .
"Pappa I need chocolates "The smaller one said .
"We need too...." the other two of them shouted.

"Oh! really ,Pappa did you won lottery

"What pappa ? what's the matter?"asked the elder one.
Ramu was then still smiling.
