إنه نفس المطر الذى كنت تعشقه اغرقك.
It's the same rain you loved that drowned you.

The little girl ran into the drawing room hopping with joy as her jingling bangles mingled with her giggling.

"Baba, Baba! See what I have brought!"

She extended her chubby wrists in front of her father. Putting aside the newspaper, he observed closely. Pride sparkled in his caramel-brown orbs.

"Are waah! My daughter looks like a pretty princess"

"Hai na?! I am a princess, Baba. But, Mumma said I looked like a banjari. "

She wrinkled her nose. He bit his inner cheek to control his laughter.

"Iski mumma bhi na!" he muttered under his breath.

"No, sweetheart. She would be kidding. You should have said Asian princesses wear bangles."

He picked up his cute bundle of pride in his muscular arms and pecked her forehead. His wife appeared in the corridor, beaming at the father-daughter bond.

He intended to tease her, "You may have said - She is a banjari herself"

The room was filled with little girl's mellifluous laughter.

And the proud parents smiled.

"Now listen to me, will you, baby?"

"Yes, baba!"

"You have to take proper care of your bangles. They are very delicate. Be careful not to break them like your previous toys, as they hurt a lot. Okay?"

"Oh Baba. How can these pink circles hurt me?" She wrinkled her nose.

She was at a loss to understand how pretty things can hurt? Innocently, the little girl was unaware of the world's realities.

She had no idea - It is often the things close to our hearts that make us suffer!

She had no idea - Our most precious things often lead to our downfall.

She had no idea - The things we love can be our worst enemies!

She had no idea - In no time, she would be learning the same painful truth. As a rude awakening waited her to crush her innocent spirit.
