"kya!  Kaha gyi hain aunty? " sana asked Cyrus who was present at the antique shop as soon as she reached home.

"vo super market gyi hai didi.... Phle aapke wait kiya fir jab aap nhi ayi to unko laga ki aap aaj college se direct bakery chale gyi ho " he replied looking at sidharth who was standing behind sana. And she doesn't know!

"but... Phone kyu ni kiya unhone muje? " she was moving back n forth due the sharp stinging pain around her  lower stomach n back as well.

" kiya tha didi. But apne uthaya ni, to fir vo chali gyi " he replied

" to unhone chabi tumhe kyu nhi di!... Ab main andar kse jao? " she literally cried due to all pain and triedness. She was completely exhausted to even stand at that moment. And sidharth can observe all that standing at a distance.

" vo main tab lunch ke liye ghar chala gya tha .... N aapko to pta hai na ki unko mujhpe aaj bhi doubt hi rehta ke mai vohi chori krne wala bacha hoon"he scoffed shrugging his shoulders in a carefree manner.

Cyrus was a 13 year old teenage boy who had been working at Aunt Niloufer's shop for the past 1 year for her help!1 year ago Aunt Niloufer caught Cyrus stealing in her shop. Since then she taught him a very good lesson as a punishment and told him that stealing is a bad thing. Though Cyrus was not  an orphan child. He had a mother but he belongs to a  very poor family, so he started stealing.
Aunt Niloufer being a very kind hearted and generous  woman. She has always helped others without thinking whether helping others will benefit her or not. Similarly, she also helped the sana. When Sana  come to this city , she had no one, absolutely no one in a huge n humongous city like mumbai, If her luck stained to jinx she couldn't have landed into some trouble or even beyond that.  An alone  girl in a city like Mumbai without parents, relatives or any guardian is no less than a curse, but it was the good luck of  sana that she met aunt Nilofer as  she landed to Mumbai. She was crying that day, absolutely clueless about where to go, whom to ask for help but aunt Nilofer came like a night in shinning armor for her that day and asked her what had happened to her and where did she come from. Sana narrated everything to her. Sana narrated almost her entire ordeal to Aunt Nilofar except for some dark part of her life. Seeing her in such condition,  and felt very bad. She then  showed affection and benevolence to her and decided to keep sana with her. She never had any child of her own.... Just her nephew Daniyal and he too lived in Canada , she lived here all alone. But her heart is filled with generosity for such people who have no patronage or gaurdianship over their heads. Especially kids.

" main kuch help kr skta hu? " sidharth whispered from behind looking at her intently.

"no thanks.... Aap jarurat se jyada help kar chuke hain meri. No need to do more. "she answered, her tone was  sharp n pungent . Clearly, she had already taken a lot of favors from him. And not in need for more.

"u sound rude at times"he exclaimed examining her from top to bottom just to get the observstion of her suffering. Standing in chums, in pain and discomfort. It pinch him somewhere.

"chhotu, tum btao!.... Main ye lock tod do to chalega? " he made the statement while smirking looking at cyrus.

"Nooooo!!!  Pagal ho aap aise kaise,  tod du! Just like that. Main bahar hi wait kr lungi. No need to pull such stunts here. Jab aunty ayegi.... The problem will be solved. " she voiced taking a seat at the threshold of the shop. A bit shivering in pain as well.

He marched towards her with small steps.  Extended his hand towards her face. She immediately pulled back in reluctance seeing that  he was trying to touch her face . But he slowly took out the pin from her hair and showed it to her. Bringing it near her face.
