"245!" Desto points to a door, "This is the orphanage home!"
They walk inside seeing no one was around to open the door for them.
"Umm, excuse me?"
After a long ten minutes, an old lady came from upstairs, adjusting her glasses looking at the girls. She had a wrinkle-streaked yet a motherly face.
The girls hesitantly smiled and introduced themselves.
...
"My prayers haven't gone unheard. Every year these kids get excited for Christmas and write letters for Santa. But they would never receive what they asked for. It is usually just an old toy that someone from the neighborhood wraps for them. But you girls have come to do a great thing, may god bless you children."
...
"Ca- ca- careful Sush! You are about to drop the cherry loaf!" Ayesha yelled from the other side startling Desto who was decorating the table.
"For god's sake, stop screaming. The kids would run away thinking a crazy woman has come into their house."
"Okay done!" Desto proudly said. "I am going to bring the kids from upstairs now."
...
Six little kids scurried along with Desto, two of them holding her hands down the stairs. Their eyes instantly gleamed seeing the dining table. They had never seen let alone ate anything in the platters that were placed before them.
"Wow look at that one! It has my favorite strawberry in it!" Romy exclaimed clapping his little hands together.
The kids chatted on in excitement when Ayesha called them sit and feast.
"All of this is for us?" Minnie asked out of amusement.
"Yup, it's all for you!" Desto grinned at the little girl holding out her hand for a Hi-Five'.
...
An hour later when everyone was settled in the living room, Sush announced "What's a merry Christmas without gifts? Let's start our day with the presents!"
Little gasps filled the room as the kids were shocked and surprised to see so many presents for each of them.
The kids started to open their gifts, and were blown away seeing for the first time they had gotten what they had asked for to Santa.
"Santa received our letters!" Romy looked up beaming.
"Yup, he did and Santa sent us as his secret messengers to you all!"
...
"Jack and Jill..." Everyone giggled seeing Sunny trying to act the rhymes in his is iPod with earbuds.
"A- are these books for- for me?" Anu asked looking surprised at the girls. "But- but I never asked anything to Santa."
"You didn't, but your lil friend Romy did." Desto pointed to Romy who was busy opening his gift and grinned widely at Anu. She started crying and gave him a hug, thanking her friend.
"What is this?" Romy scratched his head.
"It is an OTG. You can make all your favorite food with this machine! From cakes to doughnuts whatever you want!" Desto winked at him while he squealed and hugged his gift.
Minnie walked up to the girls and hugged all three of them, "Thanks for the diary. Now I can draw and write all I want. I will keep this as a treasure." She smiled looking at the diary.
"I guess Santa didn't receive my letter." Aarav held his head down and walked away when Sush tapped him and pointed outside the window with a grin.
"Hey it is a real sleigh! Did Santa really send it for me? Can we go on a ride on it?" He longingly asked for permission.
"Of course we can! We will go everywhere today on the sleigh. Happy now?" Sush patted his cheeks for which he returned a big smile.
As Sush was about to turn around, she saw Ayesha and Desto helping Rohan on the wheelchair they got for him.
"Wow! This is the magical chair! Santa got it for me! Now I can play with my friends!" He clapped his hands out of excitement and started to ride the wheelchair.
...
All of them were engrossed with their gifts while the girls looked at each other and shared a similar smile. The little ones' beaming faces were all that they needed to feel content on this festive day.
