Chapter 1

C12_c10

A twenty years old girl was walking on a cold road. She was dressed in black trousers and a pink shirt. Her hair tied in a big bun while holding a bag on her right shoulder and some books in the other hand.

There was a look of distress on her face. She did not know when she reached her home. A loud shriek of a six-eight year old boy broke the trance she was lost in. As soon as she saw that child, all the troubles of that girl vanished, only then she heard the sound of laughter of a small four-year-old girl.

That six-year-old child tried to take books from the girl's hand, the girl smiled and stroked her head lovingly.

"Mom, I am grown up now. I can also look after you. Look how strong I have become after drinking milk every day. Look how big my muscles have become." That kid said while showing his muscles by raising his left hand.

That girl bowed parallel to that little child and touched her head lovingly, "I will do all this, you just have to take care of yourself and your little sister."

A four-year-old girl came out from the inner room and said with a pout, "Mom, no one loves me, everyone loves Eddy Bro!" That girl shook her head at the drama after listening to that little girl's histrionics.

"No baby mamma loves you both. Now hurry up, tell me what you did after my departure for coaching."

"Don't ask them Rapunzel, Ask me how much these devils have troubled me. See they even jumped on my back . Now I have to go to the Doctor, '' a boy in his early thirties said.

Listening to the boy's bickering , the trio giggled. The girl stopped laughing.

"Now I understand where they are learning all this drama. Such a spoiled brat you are, God knows how you tackle your patients. I already knew you were in the wrong profession," that girl said, slapping his forehead in a friendly gesture.

"This is such an insult for a handsome man with six pack abs. I am a hero and you are claiming me as a clown. Such a disgrace Rapunzel!'' The boy said, making funny faces. The girl broke down into a laughing fit seeing the funny faces.

The boy raised his hand in the air , making a surrender gesture. "Okay, now that my babysitting work is completed. You may carry on from here. He took out his coat from the stand, "and Rupenzal, please add something Indian in the dinner. I have some medical theories to be completed. Bye," the boy said in particularly one breath and the girl gaped with an open mouth . The boy smiled and closed her mouth while tapping his finger to her chin.

"Such a cute Rapunzel in this era!" chuckled the boy.

The girl smacked his shoulder lightly, "Such a shakkal in this era," the girl reverted back.

" Hey hey hey! Don't say anything in your native language," said the boy with furrowed brows.

"Whatever," she replied evasively.

The boy went to the apartment next door. That girl got busy doing her daily chores and needs. It was her routine busy in his daily struggle to keep everything synchronized.

The boy was the only hope for this girl as she got some monetary support to pay bills. She quickly changed her work clothes into simple full sleeve kurta and leggings, she liked to wear Indian dresses very much . She tied her below hip length silky hair in a simple bun and made kids eat their dinner quickly and then made them sleep while reciting bedtime stories.

She looked at both kids' naive faces and remembered some happy memories of how her father used to recite her bedtime stories. She traced their sleeping faces and secured them with a pillow. She wiped her tears and went to the apartment next door to cook dinner for her only friend.
