Mera naam Ranjeet hai. Main 24 saal ka hoon aur college ke final year mein padhta hoon. Semester ki chhuttiyon mein main apne gaon gaya. Wahan humara ek bada sa ghar hai. Mere maa aur papa wahan rehte hain. Papa builder hain, aur maa ghar sambhalti hain. Hum kaafi ameer khandaan se hain, toh ghar mein naukar-chakar bhi bahut hain.

Main dopahar ko gaon pahuncha. Khana kha ke thodi der soya. Shaam ko maa ke saath thodi baatein ki, fir gaon ghoomne chala gaya. Raat kareeb 8 baje ghar wapas aaya. Maa ka mood theek nahi tha. Maine pucha, “Maa, papa kahan hain?”
