Everyone started clapping as soon as Tamasha finished her speech. Her speech was so deliberate and thoughtful, which showing her love and compassionate for her NGO's peoples. First she briefly explain about the motive to held such a programme. Then she explain how much hard work her people did to make this programme as much as successful. After giving the long speech Tamasha unveil the cover of masterpiece artwork of the exhibition to start the exhibition ceremony along with the programme. Everyone got busy at their respective interested field. Some people checking out the painting, some people enjoying the dancing and singing which is performing at the stage as a part of the programme.

Tamasha also helping Anindita to give her detail information as much as possible.
In this busy environment a old man around his seventies, join the exhibition ceremony along with the assistant reporter Shakya Das which is obviously unnoticed by everyone except two person Anindita and Tamasha. Tamasha recognized Shakya but not able to recognized the old person standing with him. As soon as they arrived Anindita approached Shakya.
"We both were about to go to your house to take uncle with us but you send me hurriedly to attend the programme as much early as possible and said that you'll take him with you. Then what took you so long to come here this much late?" Anindita scold Shakya in a whispering tone to coming this much late.
"Don't say we were about to come in my car but it broke down in the middle of the road. So, we have to come after taking a cab." Shakya replied also with a whispering voice.
"Ok, let's introduced each other." Anindita said to introduced the old person with Tamasha but she again about to said something but that old person cuts her word and introduced himself with a smiling face.
"Hello my child, may be you forgot my face but I'm sure you'll recognized me by my name. I am Dhananjay Das."
As soon as Tamasha heard the name she became emotional. She never imagine that she will get a chance to meet the person again who's one letter changed her life. Without wasting time Tamasha greeted him with joy and said, "Thank you so much uncle for coming here and remembering me. I am very happy to see you here in my NGO."
"I heard a lot about you from Shakya. By the way do you recognised the boy whom life you saved?" Mr. Dhananjay asked.
Tamasha looked at Shakya with amazed face that how much that little boy grow up.
"You? but how do you know that I saved your life?" Tamasha asked Shakya.
"It's all possible because of Anindita, I used to tell her about my childhood incident and also tell her about my wailing to meet that lady who saved my life to thank her but when you shared her about your childhood with Anindita, she told me about you and then we made a plan to meet with you along with my father." Shakya explain her all the things clearly.
Tamasha is feeling nostalgia. After becoming a executive director there is only one person whom she called her family is his uncle but after reuniting with the person whom she cherished for her whole life she is feeling overwhelmed. It feels like she finally got everything in her life after a long and tough journey. Not only she got two friendly person behind her but also she got another guardian to place his hand above her head.
