The Shining Stars On The Ceiling - II Part

Part I ( Rewind) 

Though being so aged, she stayed alone, and this troubled Pakhi a lot. So today she made a wish if someone could stay with the aunty to take care of her. She was unable to sleep today, as she wanted to know if the magic would work?

II Part Continue

Finally, she was able to catch some sound sleep. She woke up by the noise of the alarm, and the 1st thing she did was to peep through her window to check if aunty has some visitors and to her surprise, there was a blue car parked in the driveway. She recognized that car because she saw that car couple of times, it didn't take her much time to realize that it was aunty's daughter 'Maithali" car. She was very fond of her and had met her personally many times, even used to often hang out with her kids during the summer break, whenever they came to visit aunty. She rubbed her eyes again to check if what she was witnessing was correct. To reconfirm she decided to call up aunty to check on her, however, Maithali received the call and told her she came today to visit her mother and was glad to receive a call from Pakhi.

Pakhi was excited and terrified as her two wishes had come true. She was happy but confused about how many more wishes would the stars and moon would grant her. She had so many questions running in her mind; she seemed lost in her thoughts. She wanted to discuss it with her parents but was not sure how they would be handling it since, after all, she was just seven years old kid.

She remembered her mother has always told her to be brave and face the fears instead of running away from them. It exists only in the mind she always reminds her. There was nothing to be scared of, it was the wishing stars and moon, till now they have fulfilled her wishes only, she thought. Due to the summer holidays, she had the full day available to think about the 3rd wish and prepare herself for the same. She was eagerly waiting for her favorite time of the day. She had an early dinner and asked her parents to tuck her in the bed early as she was feeling sleepy today Her parents were confused because since they were at home today, wanted to spend some time with her, but she insisted on sleeping early, so they granted her wish. 

Pakhi was looking forward to her discussion with the stars & moon. She was lying in her bed; staring at them. They looked so beautiful today; she thought. Today, she started her conversation by Thanking the stars and moon for fulfilling her wish. She said " Dear Stars and Moon, you know you are my best buddies, and I am thankful to you for fulfilling my 2nd wish. I don't know whether I should be happy or scared that my buddies have become my wishing resources, but I am blessed to have you as my buddies even if you don't fulfill my wishes anymore. I wish to meet you and convey my Thanks to you. At that moment something happened, there was a noise, and all of sudden an envelope dropped right in her hands. She stood up immediately; she was shocked and surprised stared at the envelope for some time. There was something about the envelope that compelled her to open it. She switched on the study lamp and started opening the envelope. She opened the letter it read as follows:

'Dear Pakhi, Hi, How are you.
