" Come on dammit! Yes! Come on!"
4999.8
" Yes! Sold!"
Closing off my position. I lean back on the dusty wall to breathe.
My phone blinks with a notification and a smile morphs on my lips seeing the message.
06 the October 9:20 trade settled with a net profit of
8,56,879.Technically speaking I have earned this profit in just 5 minutes. But logically, I have spent 15 years of my life reaching this level of perfection.
I was barely 12 years old when I did my first trade while sitting in my grandfathers lap. Suffering a loss of 2000 rs at that time.
And look at me now.
Grandpa is really proud of me.
Switching off my phone I get up to tie a cloth on my head. It's time to clean this hellhole.
5 hours later I was laying on the floor, sprawled like a kid on snow. My eyes stay fixated on the spider web on the ceiling that I couldn't reach.
My lungs were protesting and clothes drenched.
I don't think I can move.
Each and every limb of my body ached like I ran a marathon.
Water. I needed some water.
Looking around I spotted the tap. Crawling towards it in the corner, I turn it to place my face under it.
Yes! Finally some respite from heat.
To get nothing.
What the hell?
Barely two droplets of water dropped on my cheek and I hit the stupid tap with my palms.
Stupid tap!Dammit! Why are you even here if you don't have water!
Crawling back to my old space I drop back to close my eyes. Did I really make a mistake coming here?No. To understand the darkness I have to learn to live in it.
And with this thought I don't remember when I drift into another slumber.

" Is she sleeping?"" Of course stupid. "
" I thought maybe she fainted."
" Has she eaten something?"
"I don't see any empty plates around here. "
" Should we wake her up?"
I blink open my eyes to find 3 huge shadows surrounding me. Ajuni, Avik and Jay were starting at me like they haven't seen me before.
Faking a smile. I blink my eyes open.
" Good morning kids! You guys are shining bright tonight. "
" But you aren't"
They look at me from top to bottom and I curse in my mind. Shit. I am sure I am stinking. Dirt and muddy blotches covered me all over and my hair resembled a birds nest.
Pressing my palms on the floor I try to get up when a sharp pain shoots in my back.
Not this now! Aghh!
" Careful di!"
Jay rushes to support me, looking at me in worry and I press my palms on his head.
Hiding my pain.
