"Hi!" The student said as she saw her tutor face her.
"Hey!" With a smile "I was just trying to get dressed to the ball!"
Pakhi grumbles seeing the dark dress in Madhu's hand.
Seeing the little girl's reaction, she said "it's this" showing the gown "or sweats!"
With a straight face "I think you are almost done with your story!" Pointing at her writing work.
Putting the dress down, with a smile on her face, she took a seat on her bed, in front of the Princess "Almost!" She said "Tonight we will find out how it ends!"
With sadness lingering on her voice and bending her head "And then you will be gone!" Lifting her head, watching her tutor and bending her head once again "And you will never think about us again!" She added.
"Pakhi!" Shaking her head "How could I ever forget you?" Taking the small girls hand in here "No never ever!" She finished with a small smile.
Pakhi turned to her right as Madhu took back her hand as she saw her student to get a small box from the side of her wheelchair.
With a small smile, she passed the box to Madhu"This is for you! Merry Christmas Madhu!"
Surprised and feeling emotional "I don't have anything for you!"
"You have given me a lot!" The reply came, putting the box in her hand.
"Don't pretend you have learned everything from me as a tutor!" Looking serious but not her voice.
Shaking her head "You told me everything is going to be okay! Even if my father is gone!" Looking at her leg "Even if I'm... different!" Adding a smile she continued "Just open it!" She said as she faced the lady.
Smiling, she opened the box to find an elegant bracelet with a frozen pendant hanging on it and all in silver.
"Beautiful!" She said touching it.
"It reminded me of our toboggan ride!" As she helped to wear it.
Looking in her eyes, Madhu said "What would I have ever done without you?"
"Spend Christmas in the dungeon, for sure!" Like being serious.
And both ended laughing out loud and getting up from her place, Madhu went and hugged the girl before taking back her place.
"Right in the time!" Princess said as they knocks, making the elder one to think who it can be.
And one by one three people entered the room worrying the reporter "What's going on?"
"Meet Stella, Reshmi and Stephan!" Pakhi "They do hair, make-up and dressing!" She added as Stephan pulled a dressing rack along with him as he entered.
"Huh?"
"As you can say! Do 'The work!'" She said quoting the lady words, shrugging her shoulder as she smiled.
"And they are gonna work on me?" She asked.
"Uh huh!" She said smirking "Complete makeover!"
