Ashwat _ Being beyond.

 Once there lived a small boy named Ashwat. He is the only son in his family. His father is a bank employee and mother used to be at home as most mother's do but she often goes to her mother's home. 

      Ashwat used to play with his toys alone since there are few children's at his age in the colony. May be of his father's genes he is good at numbers (maths).He often spend in counting the flower in their garden, counting his foot steps while going  and coming back from school, sometime he measures time with his eye blinks because  once his teacher told in the class that an eye blinks takes one second . He thinks moon likes him while  he walks he feels that moon also following him may be that's a valid reason. And he had a good company play with boomer🐕 neighborhood rishta aunty's dog.

 Rishta aunty used to come to ashvat's  home to help his mother and assist ashwat's  father while his mother goes to her mother's home. She used to answer that "Mohan uncle works in Dubai" to Ashwat questions. 

 An evening ashwat returned from school as it's his routine. It's more than    a week that his mom went his mom's home even though it's common for him . But he noticed that his dad seems to be very dejected. So he asked his father " When will mama return ?" instead questioning about what he noticed .His father replied " Mama died in a road accident while the bus slipped into a hill side valley". Aswat become so dumb and  his mind reminds him the times he spends with his mom. His eyes dripped with tears and his father took him close. After some while he slept effortlessly.  

 Next morning ashwat awaked with rishta aunty's call. She used to ready him to go to school . From that day rishta Aunty presence becomes more often . Boomer also comes along with rishta Aunty . So he used to play with boomer🐕 in the evenings and  holidays .

 As days passed he grown Physically and emotionally . He becomes so independent of his works and studies. He is good at accepting himself . And he so attached with boomer🐕.

 One fine morning he waken at 6:30 it's his average time to wake-up. He completed his morning activities. But he found that his father is not at home and rishta aunty used to come in mornings to ready his carriage she is also not in time .So he wanna go to rishta aunty's home. 

 He found rishta Aunty was crying and his father comforting her in the backyard of rishta Aunty's home. And he strucked by seeing bloody boomer🐕 left on ground in Infront of them . Aswat asked his father " whats wrong happened to boomer". His father replied that aunty listen to barking of boomer last night but she ignored . And in the morning she found boomer died on the ground. 

It's the second upsetting moment in ashwat's life first one is his mothers death.  They completed the funeral of boomer. Again his mind started remaining him the moments he spent with boomer which made his heart emotionally weighted. So he started crying as much as he can because he knows that tears will wipe out the emotions in the heart. After some while he left light hearted. But he want to investigate the causes behind the boomers death.

 He started his investigation from rishta aunty. He availed some information regarding the night boomer🐕 was dead. But this information was different from what his dad said on that day. So he went to his father to interrogate him again. But his father insisted him to stay away and leave this time wasting stuff. 

 The way his father reacted made him more curious about that case. From that day he started examining his dad's daily routine. As a part of his investigation he went to his father's room. He started searching of evidences. But his attention was drawn by bundle of post letters. He picked them and started reading. 

  Out of the blue he found those letters are written by his mom who still alive. By reading all those letters he came to an understanding that his mother was living with rishta aunty's husband. And asking his father that she want to meet ashwat. By the time he completed his reading. His dad entered the room and left dumb by seeing aswat with those letters.  

 Then ashwat asked his father to call his mother , rishta Aunty's husband  and rishta aunty by tomorrow to their home.

 Next morning ashwats mother , rishta aunty husband,rishta aunty  and ashwats father along with ashwat assembled at ashwat's home. After seeing his mother ashwat went to her and hugged her. And his mother started crying. And he greeted  rishta Aunty's husband. After sometime ashwat want them to listen him  . 

 He advised his mom and rishta aunty's husband to stay in rishta aunty's home . And asked rishta aunty to stay in his home along with his dad . He gave them some time to take the final decision. After some time those 4 members came to concur with ashwat's advice.

 From that day those families started being opaque relationship in front of ashwat and society as well. Next day (Sunday) ashwat went to the teras to play with his kite.

The way ashwat accepted rishta Aunty as his mother.and his mother as wife of rishta aunty's husband was unpractical for 21st century. He stepped beyond his relationship boundaries and society perceptional values.
