Pov Aakriti:
I lost the counts of how many times I watched this photo in my mobile .
The screen was shining in the shadow of darkness . I was looking at the screen again and again to make sure person i was seeing is actually her.
Lots of questions were running through my mind .
How is this possible ?
Is she alive ?
Why did not she come back ?
I could not believe this . She is actually alive .
Now I had this information , I cant ignore this like nothing happened .
I have to do something i have to inform about this to someone .
This may be the last chance for truth to come out .
I have to do something .
After fighting the battle with myself i finally decide to go with my heart and try to clear all this mess happened in our life.
Before I got up on my feet , the hand landed on my shoulder .
I already know who was that person from the last year she was standing by my side helping me and caring without any expectations in return .
" You will catch cold in this cold weather, Dear? She said in her sweet voice .
I just hummed in the response .
" So did you decide what are you going to do next ?" she asked me .
I nodded my head in response and looked at her .
" Yeah , I am going to Mumbai . I can't hold this any longer . It will be better if i will catch the train tomorrow morning .
I wil tell them everything . If their is slightest chance for truth to come out i dont wanna miss that . I am doing this time . I am leaving " I said finally making the clear decision in my head .
She just smiled at me and said " Sure , you should always listen to your heart . Don't hold yourself back . I want you to move on and live peaceful life too. If this is going to help you lessen guilt . Go for it dear "
Listening to her words, tears gathered around my eyes and before they fall out the hand envelope my shoulder and engulf me in warmth of her body
" Don't cry Beta . Everything is going to fine now " she said and i just nodded to her statement while sniffing .

*Next Mornings*
I woke up earlier than my usual time . I packed my clothes and arrange them neatly in my suitcase .
After completing my work i came down and walked towards the large dinning area . I could hear the sound of giggling and laughing coming from the dinner area .
The small smile automatically formed on my lips hearing those sweet sounds .
In the dinning area all the seats around the table were taken except the few .
Anjali and Poornima were serving the breakfast to children .
" Hey , Aakriti didi is hear . "
Someone said and all the attention were shifted towards me and the loud voice erupted .
" Good Morning didi " all children said in unison .
I just smiled and wish them back .
Going back to the kitchen I took the jug and started to fill the glass of each children .
It is one of the most satisfying moment of entire day .
Everyday when I spend my time with these children my all frustrations and tension seems to flew away . I like them they are my family .
I love to hear their chattering all the day
They are really the most purest soul in the world without any dirt .
Later i was already finish with my breakfast .
Then I feel the tap on my leg and there was a Ruhi looking at me with her doe eyes .
" You are leaving us " she said making small pout with that small pink lips .
" No baby, who told you that ? " I said sounding assured .
" I heard badi ma when she was talking to anjali didi .
"She said that today you are living for mum.. mum..bi . You don't want to live with us . I am sorry didi i promise i will complete my homework and will also finish my milk without any complaint . Pinky Promise didi "
That 6 year old munchkin said while showing her pinky finger to me while sniffing her nose .
" No Ruhi , l am not leaving you and the other munchkins . I am just going to Mumbai to meet my old friends . My friends said they are really missing me and i am also missing them that why i am going . And I promise i will come back with in few days and then we will go to the zoo and amusement park . I promise "
I said hoping she will get convinced and kissed her pinky finger .
" Really , Amusement park ....wow...." She said suddenly her doe eyes widened and beautiful smile formed on her lips .
I kissed her head and signed in relief for able to make her attention diverted from the topic .
After an hour , I was ready for my journey , saying good bye to all . I took the taxi and left to catch the train in station .
Train was already arrived on the platform .
Jaipur to Mumbai
It was written in red on the black digital background .
Unknown feeling run through my body I never thought i would go back to this city again .
There are so many good and bad memories attach to this city that i was trying to erase from my memory .
Grabbing all my courage within myself i rode the steps of train hoping my decision is not wrong and stared the journey of 16 hours towards the mumbai......
