Piya tagged along with Panchi, without asking any further questions, to her. And now, she was standing at the gates of " Flowers - the orphanage ", conflicting in her head to go in or not.

She was scared to recall all the memories from the days of her past younger self. The bitterness she felt within then, would surely make her have loathsome feelings, she carried towards her father to surface in her conscious mind now.

She breathe in and out, assuring  herself, he had issues then and entered in, looking around. Not less then 3 seconds had went, when she collided with the lady in her early forties, in all black.

" Oh! I am so sorry! I wasn't looking madam. Are you fine? ", she asked.

" Now, that I have collided with you Piya, I am. ", Haseena Raichand answered, smiling radiating warmth for the bothered girl.

" Hmm. Do I know you? ", Piya surely felt the face familiar and was confused as well as, guilt ridden about not knowing who the lady was.

" I am Haseena Raichand, Piya. Abhay's mother. I have heard about you, that you had lost your memories. I came to knew now. ", Piya could see different emotions shimmering in Haseena's eyes, and she wasn't able to figure out what they were. She felt too suffocating, looking at her so averted her eyes down. Perhaps it was concern or pity, which made Piya feel like reading a book, she didn't knew in what language was written.

" Yeah. I don't have any memories of past 1st year of my college. ", Piya replied finally meeting Haseena's eyes.

" Hmm. I would like to talk with you more. That's my card Piya. You can call me later on, and not that I don't have any of your parent's numbers and your's too. It was nice meeting you Piya after your's and Abhay's accident, we haven't seen you. Take care, I have work to finish would love talk later. Good bye. ", Haseena caressed Piya's face and went in the opposite direction, toward the gate.

Piya had only hanged onto the last words.
....after your's and Abhay's accident....

What does she mean by mine and Abhay's accident? Papa told it was only me in that. Was Abhay involved too?

Piya wanted to ask about Abhay, to Haseena but she didn't had any guts after knowing the way, How her family would react.

Placing the card in her handbag safely, she went in to search her sister.

When she went in the main building, she stopped herself in. Her newly revoked model-self was stopping her to go in all the dust, and dirt that was flying in the orphanage. It looked like it was being refurbished.

Seeing around kids playing, she thought about some mischief.

" Panchi!!! Panchi!!! Birdie come out!!! Of your nest!!!! ", she screamed in her all might. Mimicking her, the other children did the same thing.

But instead of Panchi, an another women came out shutting her ears.

" Ya Allah Miah!!! What is wrong with all of you? !!!! Can't you all see I am trying to teach in there?!!!! ", she glared to everyone. And finally her eyes rested on Piya.

Piya looked at the young girl of her age, from head to toe. She was wearing white top with ruffles and dark blue jeans at bottom. Her hair were in messy bun, with a black bandana knotted firmly. She didn't looked like one in teaching field.

" How can you teach children in there? It stinks with turpentine and blast of dust in the air. ", Piya scrunched her nose.

" Well it's not all dust and paint. Ms. Model from Paris. ", the girl said, while blinking twice dramatically, turning her back and moving in again.
