It's years later..Teenage boys are playing football on a dusty road, They hit a woman carrying a tray of oranges on her head, the tray tilts and oranges go in every direction. The boys, realizing their folly take to their heels but one stays helping the woman pick the oranges ...
Old woman: "My dear thank you very much, you'll never be helpless. As you have helped me today so shall nations come to your aid... What is your name??
Young boy: "I'm Lumi and I'm very sorry we hit you, we were just caught up with the game. I promise we'll be careful next time.
Old woman: "It's okay my child. You're a very good boy, I can see you going places in life"
Lumi: "Thank you ma. Where are you headed?, maybe I could help you with the load".
Old woman: "No, it's fine. I can manage on my own. You can join your friends now"
Lumi races to join his friends but changes his find halfway to their meeting point. He goes home instead to talk to his mom. When he gets home he sees his dad lying in bed shivering..
Lumi: "Good afternoon dad, what's the matter? Why are you shivering?? Where is mom?? "
Dad: "Easy, easy child. One question at a time, you know your dad is an old man (coughs feebly). Your mom went out to buy drugs even after telling her not to worry. I think it's my time.."
Lumi: "No it's not and don't talk like that. I'm sure you'll grow very old to see me become successful.. you can't leave me now. (Begins to cry) You are all mom and I have, how would we survive without you?
Dad: "Pull yourself together, I can't talk much now. There's something I need to tell your mom when she comes back"
Lumi: "Yes dad. (Wipes his tears with the back of his hand) What can I get you while we wait for mom?
Dad: (Shakes his head weakly)
A few minutes later, Mom arrives with the drugs she had gone to buy... 25 years after their marriage to each other and their love never waned..The old man still turns to address her with love in his eyes..
Mom: "My husband, I got some drugs for you. I even got some some sleeping pills since you've been complaining of insomnia.. please, get up and take them. Let me get you some food."
Dad: "(Turning lightly) Hold on for a minute, don't worry about my sleeplessness , it has ended already. There's something I need to tell you, I don't have much time left so I'll make it as brief as possible."
Mom: "But you need to eat first so you'll have strength to talk... (Calls out to Lumi) Lumi!! Lumi!! Heat some food for your father"
Dad: "I think we should tell him."
Mom: "Tell who what?"
Dad: "We need to tell Lumi how he came to be with us."
Mom: (Sighing) "I don't think I'm ready for this now, what if he hates us after finding out?"
Dad: "If there's anybody to hate, it's definitely not the ones who gave him a new life. He's sensible I'm sure he'll understand "
Mom: I don't feel so good about it... (Stops talking because dad has his face to the wall) My dear!! My husband!! What is it?? Talk to me!! (Begins to shake him as she screams, Lumi rushes in)
