"Trishna, Mihika wake up!! It's already seven."

"Akka! Let us sleep." The two young girls groaned making their elder sister roll her eyes. She glanced at the wall clock and sighed before pulling the covers above their heads.

"Stop being a lazy bum. Mihika you have assignment submission at college and Trishna what about your practicals? Have you prepared your practical records?" The girls wake up with a jolt and pass a sheepish smile to their sister before rushing towards the washroom for brushing their teeth.
"You're the best Akka." Mihika grinned, she peeped back from the washroom and planted a kiss on her sister's cheek leaving her astonish.

"Pagal!!"

"Ishu!!! Come here Kanna. Look like Appa medicines ended."

"I bought a new batch of medicines yesterday, that's in my room!" Ishita replied while choosing clothes for herself.

"How you manage to do everything beforehand." Madhvai Iyer exclaimed caressing Ishita head, Ishita gave a light squeeze on her mother shoulder, she fetch her clothes and went in spare bedroom to change it. She inspected her look in the mirror and once satisfied with her look she went to meet her father, Mr. Vishwanathan Iyer passed a warm smile to his daughter who sat beside him. She passed him a cup of filter coffee to him and took other one for herself.

"I never want you to do this kanna."

"Appa!! You're making me feel like an outsider." Ishita made a disappointed face leaving her father sighed. "By the way where is Aunt Meenakshi? She left for work?"

"Yes! She has some inspection in her office that's why she left. Meenakshi is the only one who is helping us right at the moment."

"Don't worru Amma. It's a matter of a few days, our problems will be resolved once I get a job.Amma have you prepared my tiffin?"

"Yes yes. Here it is." Her mother Madhvai Iyer passed her stainless steel tiffin which she stuffed in her bag. Ishita hugged her parents and bowed her head infront of idol of Murugan as she waved her hands to them. Once covering a walking distance till the bus stop she sat over the waiting chair and started to tap her feet, waiting for morning bus.

Ishita Iyer, second daughter of Madhavi and Vishwanathan Iyer going to start a new journey of her life.She had lots of dreams in her eyes till a few years back but with the time and circumstances she buried those dreams in her heart and decided to go with a flow. She heard a honk and wiped her eyes, it was her bus which going to take her towards her new destination.
She paid the price and took the ticket, the bus was comparatively empty today and she grabbed a window seat for herself before dwelling back into her past. Her life was smooth and beautiful until she turned eighteen, the family of six members were living happily under one roof, the money was less but still they were happy with each other until one day her father met with a fatal accident which left him paralysed.

Vishwanathan Iyer was working as a Chief Civil Engineer in a P&L Construction Company where got injured one fine day and left paralysed. Ishita was eighteen that year when the accident happened, the Iyer family somehow managed to save Mr Vishwanathan Iyer but a serious injury in his spinal cord left him partially paralysed. Ishita elder sister Vandita who was a recent graduate took the entire family responsibilities on her shoulders and started working with a MNC but with her marriage and childbirth, she left her job leaving the entire burden to put on Ishita widow aunt, Meenakshi shoulder who lives with them along her daughter Trishna. Ishita knew her aunt would never ask her to work but at a same time their big family cannot survive on a menial salary of her aunt and thus freshly graduate Ishita Iyer decided to hunt for a job and work along her aunt.
