If it was a normal day, she would spent her time in study or doing home chores or either would spend time talking to growing child in her belly but today was different.

From the early morning, she hurriedly finished all her task, from cleaning to cooking and finally now sat comfortably on soft bed going through official government website to register for exam she was asked to clear to get job in place of her late father.

Every second her eyes would travel past timeline displayed on left most corner in her smartphone screen, failing to see expected time made her nervous yet irritated sighing in exhaustion.

'I have to wait a little more I guess, when they are going to start application process?

Bhagwan ji, I feel so nervous now!!? What if I couldn't even fulfill basic requirements? What if they rejected my application???'

'Don't get too nervous prachi!!

I feel so nervous today!'

She breathed in relief when finally website was opened and she filled every required information which included her education qualification to her other details.

'Okay done! Now after exactly 80 days after my exam will be conducted. I have to be prepared!!'

She lightly caressed her slightly chubby belly in extreme delight,

'Baby, mumma is going to give exam! Mumma will definitely work hard, Baby will support mumma, right?'

'You are the only hope in my life, I will do everything to keep you loved and safe.'

Her worries for her child was natural after all she faced and suffered, this child seems to be more like a light of hope in her dark yet gloomy world and she desperately wanted to grab this light to herself.

After filling the forms and applying for the national exam she hurriedly finished her chores and taking books in her hands started studying.

It was like she was back to those old days of her childhood where she would be sitting on her bed like this, preparing for her upcoming exams while waiting for her mother to call her and her little sister to eat their lunch.

After both of them passed away, she was lonely in their small apartment always recalling old memories of her mother and little sister.

Her father being the money earner was always away from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening. Being trapped in those memories she could only swallow her tears bitterly and act bravely in front of her father.

Both of them were aware of their thoughts yet they could only pretend to be happy to give support to eachother. Later on she got busy with her studies and classes that she barely spent her stay alone.

But now she was back to that state, being alone and lonely longing for that familiar arms of love yet no one to fulfill her wish.

It's true, empty mind hides demon ,but what is more dangerous is empty place full with memories of past with no one to fill it anymore.

.........

It was around evening when she finally paused her studies and went to quickly cook some easy recipe to herself, she decided to cook kanda poha for herself.

It was quick and easy to made, when done she served it on steel thali while grabbing one spoon, she leisurely walked out of kitchen and sat on ground with Indian style sitting and started eating.

Being thirsty she took few sips of water and continued to fed herself when her smartphone rang immediately making her look at source of voice.

Luckily it was placed on sofa nearby, she quickly answered call founding it was none other than Shrishti,

"Praaachi!!!! Guess what!!!! I am sooo happy today!!!"

"How can she guess why you are happy Shrishti!"

Shrishti was over excited on phone which brought smile on her (p) face, but remark made by Jigar was more or less funny which made her Giggle.

"Shut up! Don't talk when I talk to my friend!"

"Oh yeah! Prachi do you know what happened today?"

After scolding Jigar she was back to her fluffy mode as she asked, of course there was another sarcastic remark left by Jigar.

"No she don't!"

"JIGAR!!!!"

"Okay okay, Jigar don't tease my good friend any longer."

Jigar laughed at her(s) outburst, which made her bit her lips in annoyance, looking at her cute self he quickly stole a kiss from her leaving her still.

Looking back at her while walking away he laughed and shook his hand sideways in bye gesture leaving her bedroom to cook something.

Shrishti was left blushing by herself cursing at him for being shameless when prachi's voice grabbed her attention,

"Hello? Shrishti, can you hear me?"

"Yea, ... Yeah I can Prachi, so what really happened was that...."

Their talk continued for half an hour when Shrishti finally disconnected their call after repeatedly telling her to take good care of herself.

She was done with her food, and then washing the dishes she was free to do whatever she pleased. But having nothing to do she again chose to grab books to read something or solve some problems.

It was around 8:30 when suddenly her doorbell rang, stunned she checked time only to find it was night.

'Who can it be this late?'

She couldn't help but think about this unexpected guest, curious as she was she could only open main door to satisfy her curiousity and get her answer.

It was strange for even thinking anyone would visit her, her relatives broke all relations with her long ago while Shrishti was the only one who kept contact with her.

Ronit was never type of person to visit her home this unexpected, he didn't even appeared in front of her after that day in hospital, so who could it be ringing her bell at this time?

She unlocking her door opened it to find stranger man standing, her eyesight moved from him to his side to find both Arpita and Ruby standing next to that man with guilty face not even looking back at her.

"Ruby, Arpita? You guys?"
