Ishana got up all excited, even after not being able to sleep for the whole night!

She stretched herself, looked at time to find it 7 am, as she freshened up, wore her joggers & came to a nearby public park to jog, did a few lazy stretches & yoga, came back to her apartment, greeting her neighbours & a few kids in the society compound, only to find her Mamma cooking some breakfast.

They hadn't talked much after that day's incident. No matter how much Ishana tries to forget that past, to show her Mamma that she is ok even with her taunts, but she can't stand it...

"It's my first day in the office today..." spoke she, but her mother didn't even turn to look at her, making her sigh in defeat, & her throat clogged up with emotions.

"I-I might get late in the evening, so don't worry..." spoke she as she turned giving a last look at her Mamma's back with her eyes glassy...

She can never get habitual to her mother's cold treatment, specially when she had been all sweet to her since her birth, specially at this crucial time when Ishana needs her mother the most... But she can't blame her mother as well, for pain always makes a person bitter, & somewhere Ishana is the reason for her all agonies...

Yes, deep down Ishana blames herself for everything, but she keeps on chanting her late sister's words, who had asked her to never blame herself for anything...

"What about Anya?" asked her mother in her cold voice.

"I've arranged her school bus to drop her. Have also asked her teacher to look after that, & she'd be back by 1.30 pm... Also Pari, her friend comes in the same bus so Anya won't cry." spoke Ishana as flatly as she could.

Why can't her mother at least ask her by when she'll be back, or where her office actually is... But why will she, when Ishana is cursed, yes she is cursed by her destiny, who steals either her loved ones, or the love for her from her loved ones...

She wiped her tears & smiled at herself in the mirror.

"Let's get ready for the day Ishu!" spoke she to herself with a smile... But her eyes screamed the same hollowness, the same pain, which everyone might not observe, but how can she hide her pain from her own self? Can she lie to herself? & if she can, then how long?

She shook her head, as she got ready for her college, packed her bag & looked at the time to find it late already & rushed out, to see Anya & her mother having breakfast together, & Ishana went to her life's most beautiful wonder, the little bundle of joy, who was looking at Ishana with her big black eyes shining in excitement happiness!

Anya, the little fairy who's the sole reason for Ishana's happiness & her life! The girl whose everything was taken away by a storm she is unknown from, but deep down Ishana curses herself for ruining Anya's happy life with her own hands, though it wasn't her fault, yet she was the reason for all those disasters... She indeed brought darkness to all the people she ever loved, or who ever came close to her...

But not with Anya! She'll surrender her most priced possession, her life, if needed to let Anya, her angel, live a happy life!

"Good morning Princess Any!" spoke Ishana kissing Anya's cheeks.

"Good morning Shanu Masi (Aunt)!" spoke Anya beaming, looking cute as ever in her pig-tales, which moved with her every move.

"Ok, so Princess you know you'll come with Pari from now on?" asked Isha as she served herself, for her mother would never do that for her... The reason Ishana's foodie self's diet is low is she can't stand her mother's hate for herself & yet eat her hand-made food, not wanting to miss the last of the blessing of her mother, & this small family moment they all have together, though it always end up hurting her wounded heart...
