AUNavratriBlogHop: Arav's Destiny

An orphan boy, Arav, spent his time with infants and kids in the orphanage. He cared for them as their elder brother. He would feed them with his hands, tell them bedtime stories, and play with them. The orphanage owner used to think, what if somebody adopted Arav? How would they manage these kids? 

The selfless act of Arav made the owner selfish. Many times, he would hide Arav when the adoption took place. Like any other kid, Arav used to dream of finding parents. But he was unaware of the intention of the owner. One day, an unplanned visit of a couple took place, and Arav was sitting with the kids and feeding them. The satisfaction on his face was worth every charm. 

The lady who came for adoption found her eyes glued to innocent boy Arav. For a minute, she was in a trance. Coming to reality, without thinking further, she told her husband we would adopt this boy. Arav, busy in his daily routine, was unaware of his destiny. Soon, adoption news spread in the orphanage, and the children dressed their best lined up. Arav was unknown, sitting with his buddies.

But the lady decided to adopt Arav and was determined to take him. The owner did not want to let Arav get adopted. He made all possible tantrums to prevent this from happening. But, the Almighty already wrote Arav's destiny. Soon, Arav arrived in the office where the couple to-be-his parents were waiting. His innocence and manners impressed the couple one more time.

The owner told him that they wished to adopt him. Now, they would be your parents. The couple came closer and asked him, "Will you come to our house with us? We will have your room, toys, books, and new clothes for you." A slight smile came on his face, and it was the sign Arav was ready to go with them.

Arav had a heart of gold. And the couple now his parents feel blessed to have chosen him as their child. Though his mother would tell him to play and study, Arav never missed a chance to help her. Even he would help his father. They lived as a close-knit family.
