conflict resolves

The bug or chocolate conflict was continuing for few more days. To facilitate a resolution, I left the thing in a very visible place, but it was not working. Daivik was getting increasingly convinced that it was not real ("otherwise it will not be still here", "see, the legs are still bent outside"), but paradoxically was trying hard to convince me to open it for him. When it was not working, he asked Avin who came home one day to open the chocolate for him. Now Avin had no idea of the preceding drama, and was about to open it. Daivik's eyes lit  up brightly and with a wide grin he started to wait for the finally-now moment. I tried to explain the situation to Avin, but how to do that without dampening Daivik's excitement or Avin's eagerness ?

Daivik was getting restless with the almost opened I'm-sure-its-chocolate in front of him, I was eager for an amicable resolution to the conflict, Avin was half comprehending the situation and trying to think fast. The chocolate was still with Avin who was still in the process of opening it but was starting to try to ask Daivik more about it. The moment became pregnant, everybody involved were on the edge and it became obvious that something was definitely going to happen. The choco-bug was getting ready to finally meet  its destiny, it must have been a terrible suspense for the poor thing. 


What happened next is a bit of a blur. In a matter of microseconds, the chocolate exchanged hands, the cover was forcibly torn open and the whole of it ended up inside  Daivik's mouth. After few seconds of all around silence, a still grinning Daivik made a chocolaty announcement, "Appa, see, it is not a real bug".
