         Rajat was reading a newspaper sitting in the hall, suddenly the phone rang. Rajat picked up the phone and found out that it was his elder sister on phone. He was happy to know about the arrival Of his elder Sister and her family for celebration of Diwali.  But at the same time he was even more disturbed due to the current circumstances.. Now Rajat got into thinking how to tell Rajni?

         Rajni was cooking in the kitchen. Her phone ranged when she picked up her phone, She came to know that her brother and sister-in-law are coming to meet her on Diwali eve . She started thinking Diwali is next week . . Now how to explain her husband? While thinking, food was cooked.

         

After arranging food on the dining table, she herself forgets everything and calls Rajat from Kitchen. Rajat also comes. After serving the food in plates, both start eating. Rajat speaks very humbly to her "Listen, I want to say something very urgently. "

Rajni says "Say what's the matter?"

Rajat said "My elder Sister and her family are arriving on Diwali to celebrate with us .  ."

Rajini said "I also had something to say."

Rajat said - "Say what's the matter?

Then Rajani also told "her brother and sister-in-law are coming for Diwali .." Both were surprised to hear and both were happy.

     From the next day, both forgetting their mutual dispute and started preparing for the reception of Diwali and the visiting guests.


  First Rajata’s elder sister and her family arrived. Rajat went happily to receive her from the railway station . They both welcomed them very happily. He was very hospitable. He also took care of all their comforts. After that Rajini’s brother and sister-in-law also came. Rajat went happily to pick them up. Both of them were also welcomed them too very happily. They were too very hospitable and all were taken care of by Rajat and Rajani.

   The attention of the new families also went to the open space in front of the courtyard.   When everyone gathered in the courtyard for evening tea. Suddenly, Rajat’s Sister said that "Oh wow! How much open space is there in front of your house, why don't you use it?" Rajat Said " I too think that the courtyard should be enlarged, but Rajini is not agreeing says, that trees should be planted",. Then Rajni  said, sitting in front of the all of them, "What's wrong with this, I?"


Then Rajni said - it is wrong because this land is not ours, it is belonging to the government . If we take it to enlarge the courtyard, then after some time the attention of the government will go towards it while road construction. Then the government will take away that land. If we are losing it, what is the use of taking such land in the courtyard? Anyway, our courtyard is very big we don’t need. What is the use of greediness? It would be better if you plant small plants at that place, the same will be transformed into big trees. So on the way, the passers-by will get shade and there will be no pollution because we will also get plenty of oxygen and birds also will get shelter along with this we can also get fruits. If the mango is planted, then mangoes will be available for us and those birds will also survive by eating fruit. The government will also be happy to see green trees and will not cut trees in view of environmental protection. The land can be snatched but the tree cannot be cut. That is why I want fruit trees to be planted, but Rajat is not ready to be accepted. "Hearing this, Rajini's brother-was very happy and supports Rajinika by cheering and clappings.


 But Rajat was unhappy. Seeing this, Rajini's brother narrates a tremendous anecdote of his friend to convince Rajat that his friends have to face a lot of problems. Then Rajat comes to know the problem in advance. Then he decides to listen to and he supports Rajni by giving up his insistence and give moral support to Rajani.
