Threads of Imagination

Chapter 1

Writer's POV

"Anu......... Anamika"
A girl in her early teens look at her best friend

"Dekh na advira kitna khoobsorat lag rha h chaand" (See Advira, the moon is looking so enchanting)
Advira looked at the moon while shaking her head in amusement

"Tu bas yahi dekhti reh......... Aaj tu yahi rehne wali h? Mere saath? " (You just admire this moon......... Are you going to sleep over here? With me? "
Advira asked in excitement

"Yeah, baba is out for some work, so maa allowed me to stay with you for tonight"

"Yeahhhhhh..... I'm soooo happieee"
Both giggles and started munching the pakora that Advira bought from the market.

"Accha ek baat bata........... Tujhe ye chaand dekhne itna pasand kyu h" (Tell me one thing........ Why you love to watch this moon?)
Anamika sighed softly and replied

"Pata nhi..... Bas ek ajeeb sa sukoon deta h ye mujhe...... Esa lagta h jese is andhere m bas ek ye hi h jo mujhe kabhi nhi chhodega aur bht acche se samajhta h ye mujhe" (Don't know....... It just give me peace........ I feel like he is the only one who will never leave me even in the darkest days of my life and understand me very well)

"But you know what.....this moon is also not permanent. It also becomes invisible for some time. No one stay with us forever"
Advira said while thinking deeply and Anamika frowned

"Well ......since when we became philosophers? "

"The time when you both started stuffing these pakoras alone...... Without me"
Both turn to the direction of the voice and saw Mishka with a pout. Both burst into laughter and anamika started laughing loudly when

"Eh chhokri...apni duniya se bahr nikal Or khud ko sajaana shuru kr de Or aaj mujhe koi drama nhi chahiye tera...... Samjhi" (Hey you.......... Come out of your la la Land and groom yourself and yes.... I don't want any drama of yours...... Understood)
Anamika's smile faded and her face became emotionless like she never knew about emotions

"Is ladki k nakre.............. " (Tantrum of this girl.........)
With that the lady left while throwing the dress on her face.

She again looked at the moon which was slowly fading due to the clouds and she said to herself

"You were right advira....... No one stay with us forever not even this moon. Everyone is selfish and cruel. No one is gonna save me from this hell"
She wore the dress and looked herself in the mirror

"Look at you Anamika........ This is you helpless, tainted and unknown just like your name. I can't even die"

"Marke kya karegi chhokri......... Such a looser you are." ( what will you do with your death gurl)
A lady in her late 20s said to her while chewing her paan but ignoring her questions Anamika asked

"Kyu aae h aap yaha? " (Why you came here)

"Fuljhari jesi h Tu..... Tujhe dekhne ka man hua to chale aae mere kadam teri or.....kya kare tu h hi itni kamaal ki cheez ek apsara ki trh" (You're just like a sparkler........ Just wanted to see you, so i came to your direction..... What can i do you're so beautiful after all...... Just like an enchantress)
Anamika flinched by her touch in disgust

"Hey why are you feeling disgusted..... Okk I've something for you"
The woman said and Anamika narrowed her eyebrows in confusion

"Take this with you, if you want to be safe"
She forwarded a cachet to her but instead of taking it she asked

"What is this? "

"Hahahaha...... Look my sparkler....... You don't have any option other than trusting me and trust me nothing more horrible can happen to you here more than whats happening right now....... So take it. "
She hesitated for a second but finally took it. She was about ask about it but the woman stopped her and said

"See..... I can't explain anything to you right now....... But I'll soon. "
With that she left while Anamika was watching her in confusion. She again looking at the cachet and said to herself

"She is right............ Nothing more horrible can happen with me........... but...... what should I do with this? "
