Everything is important to do,

It affects our life if it's not done,

But it has on time set for itself,

Go according to it,

And you will get the best out of everything you do.

What did it mean?

Misha's POV

"Misha, I didn't hit anyone. She is my friend, so why will I hit her?" I reassured my mom after she managed to calm me down. Tears welled up in my eyes again as Dad scolded me, having received a complaint from the principal. Mom, with her comforting touch, halted my tears, and I attempted to explain the real situation.

"Believe me, Mama, it was Prisha."

"I know, baby, calm down. You'll get sick."

"No, Mama, please tell Dad that he should believe me. I'm a good girl," my nine-year-old self pleaded, yearning for my dad's love and trust.

"I'll talk to him, Mish, but you need to sleep first. Tomorrow, you have school."

"No, I don't like going to school. Trisha always hits on my friends, and everyone hates me there. I will not go."

"Studies are important, Mish. How will you become independent if you don't study?"

"I will study at home, Mom. I will become a big businesswoman and make you proud."

"Mama is always proud of you. But going to school is still important. Friends and all other people will help you become strong. And about the fights..." she trailed off for a while and then continued, "I will handle them. You will not lose anything. I promise."

Suddenly, a bright light engulfed us, and everything went blank.

"YOU!" Dad rushed towards me. "You have to believe your mother, Mish. I will not let anything happen to you. Karan and his family will protect you from now onwards. Stay strong," he said, gradually fading away.

"No, Dad. Where are you going?"

"I love you, Mish. Please be safe."

"Dad!" and he was gone.

"NOOO! Dad, please come back. MOM! Where are you? Please!"

"Please!"

"Mish!"

"NO!"

"Misha! Are you okay?"

"No, I am not. Where am I?"

"Mish, wake up."

"Wake up?"

"Mish."

That was it.

It was a dream.

I opened my eyes and saw Tanya.

"God, Mish! You scared the hell out of me."

I sat up, looking at her worried face.

"I'm okay, Piggy. It was just a dream."

"Ya, a dream that made you sweat like hell," she said while handing me a napkin from the side table.

"Sorry, I woke you up," I said, wiping my face with the napkin.

"Don't you dare do these formalities with me?"
