As soon as she left the room, she was surprised to see the flags and balloons on the wall:
"What is all this?"
"Grandfather! Today is August 14 and in the name of freedom, we can celebrate on this day."
She was overwhelmed.
"Dad, what happened?" He was worried.
"My whole family is gone for today's celebration. Spent the early days in a tent, then Le Palak became a daughter. If we had known that freedom is only for celebration, we would never have been free."
Seeing their tears, Arsam felt ashamed.
