Aunt Anisha finished preparing the lunch for the new family of four and started to arrange the dining table.
Uncle Viraj went near the kids and said with a cheerful voice to lighten up their mood, "Lunch is ready my dears!!!!"
But that failed. As the kids were not at all lightened up from his voice, they replied simultaneously, "Yes uncle" like a robotic voice.
They made their way to the table to start eating but Keerthu and Krishna faces were blank without any life in them.
They ate in silence, and the uncle and aunt couple could do nothing in a situation like this and went on to eat in silence while talking with their eyes to come up with something to improve the kids mood and to help them move on after lunch is over.
And she even fed Mwezi to the full.

After lunch,
Krishna and Keerthu were shown towards their respective rooms where they would be staying on from now onwards.
They took a shower and laid in their beds, eyes staring at the ceiling.
Keerthu sat and played with Mwezi for a while with a blank look in her eyes. While Mwezi was sleepy. It slept after a few minutes of patting.
and Keerthu too fell asleep felling drowsy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Hall,
Anisha and Viraj sat together to discuss their current situation they went on researching on how to bring a change in Krishna and Keerthu's life.
"how about distracting them with some kind of activities, like sports, vedio games, any extracurricular courses….something like that" started Anisha.
"Well we could go with that for a beginning but we can't always assign them tasks as it does not last for longer times." Was Viraj's opinion.
"So what do you suggest to do then.." Anisha asked in a sarcastic way.
Viraj replied, "Hey I am not saying that your idea is bad okay. I am just saying that we can't do that forever. Think of anything else also for the next step you know.."
"Ok fine what you said is also right, so what else can we do other than it" came a dejected reply in return.
"Well you know the saying that nature heals right how about a going out to camps, tours and knowing different places, their culture and all it will help as a good distraction for them." Said Viraj in a suggestive tone.
"That's also a nice plan too. Then lets implement it from tomorrow it self." Came the reply from Anisha accepting the given suggestion as a good option for all of them.
"First let's decide on the place, my suggestion is let's go to visit farmlands, village environment and nature." Said Anisha all geared up to go with the plan.
"Hmm, how about forests!!, up for a wild life adventure?" replied Uncle Viraj in all excitement.
"Yes all set to go that's an ideal place to go" Aunt Anisha replied in acceptance.
They started to pack all their luggage and stuff.
Later at the dining table where all were gathered to eat,
Aunt and Uncle exchanged a few looks saying, "you say it" with their eyes.
The Uncle accepting defeat heaved a sigh and said, "Krishna , Keerthu we are all going on a wild life adventure, to sundarbans forest, Gir forest,… etc so pack up all your things after eating we will be leaving tomorrow.."
"Ok uncle" came the reply with no sense of any emotions at all.
Anisha and Viraj exchanged a few glances and heaved a distress sigh in defeat unable to do anything.
After dining both the pair of siblings went to their respective rooms to pack their things..
Aunt and Uncle started to pack Mwezi's things that are going to be needed.
