"Papa, who is Prince Charming?"

Little Manvi stopped reading from her Kindle and looked at Rudra with her two large eyes, who was working on his laptop. Dressed in red-white check frock with two ponies on either side of her head, she looked so much like little Maya he had seen in the photos. The twinkle in her eyes were exactly like her father.

Her question gleaned attention from her non-identical twin brother who was spilling colors on the paper. He was wearing matching red-white check shirt and red shorts, resembling his father more and his mom when he smiled. For some strange reason, he always cried whenever his father tried to button up all the buttons of his shirt.

"I know that. He is a prince who is charming, like I am."

Manvi laughed, "You are no prince Rishi. You are baccha, my little brother."

"Mai baccha nai hu. I am a big boy."

"Wrong. You are two minutes younger than me and Papa says one minute is equivalent to one lifetime. That make me two lifetimes elder than you."

Rudra smiled. He would never get tired of watching his kids antics. But whenever he spent time with them, he missed Maya a lot. Like he had lost the most important part of the puzzle that his life was. The girl who killed his brother for revenge, gave up her own life to save his.

His mother went to London to his Dadi in the aftermath, and he did not keep in touch with any of his dad's allies. Sometimes Nandini maa or Rajeev came over to spend time with the kids.

Maya wasn't there, but she had written all her sukoon in his name.

"Kids, do you want to know who Prince Charming is?" said Rudra.

The kids dropped what they were doing and ran to their Papa to sit beside him.

Rudra continued, "It is someone who loves you, respects you, becomes your strength in spite of their own weaknesses, someone whose one minute becomes your entire lifetime."

"Papa, who is your Prince Charming?" Manvi asked.

"Your mumma." Rudra smiled.

Rishi crinkled his nose, "But Prince Charming should be boys na?"

"Not necessarily, she can be Queen Charming too, like your mumma. Because she did everything that a Prince Charming would do." Rudra said.

The kids got emotional and hugged their father "Papa, we miss mumma."

Rudra hugged them back, "Your mumma misses us too." A tear rolled down Rudra's cheek, "She has become a star and looks at us from the sky. But kids, we also have to be your mumma's Prince and Princess Charming like she became our, so that whenever she looks at her little Manvi and little Rishi, she feels proud. Right?"

The kids nodded obediently.

"Papa, one more question," said Rishi, "hum fencing pe kab jayenge?"

"Hmm...when my Rish and Manvi become a little more bigger." He kissed their foreheads with affection. "Chalo baccho, now it's dinner time. Papa has made your favorite dal and Nani has sent her delicious gajar ka halwa."

Rudra stood in the balcony after tucking the kids to bed. The moon looked ethereal, he squeezed the pearl bracelet in his hand and said,

"I miss you Maya. You always compared yourself with an ending night, but you were always my moonray who guided me to light. I wish the bloodshed never happened, I wish you were always by my side. I love you."

"I love you too." The wind cooed her last words in his ears.

Rudra saw the angel speaking to him in his imagination.

"Close your eyes and look in your heart. Till the last beating of your heart, I am always with you."

Rudra closed his eyes and said "Mayaa..."

A gust of wind came and left a kiss of love on his forehead.

*** The end ***
