Aashna's childhood
Third person pov:
2005
Aashna Singh Chahar was born in a conservative Jaat family, the type who was too patriarchal, the type which wouldn't let their girls dance at functions, the type that didn't allow women to lift the veil off their head, the type in front of which, you don't wanna wear above knee clothes if you certify as a woman, the type that didn't want a baby girl to be born, but her parents wanted her and they had made it clear that they only wanted one baby, so everyone prayed it was a boy, when it wasn't, it didn't affect her parents but probably did others. Moreover it didn't matter.

*sounds of distant screaming*
An 8 year old Aashna woke up by the screaming noises coming from the other corner of the house...that of a man and a woman which she recognized to be her parents.
Her eyes open wide, heart beating loudly in her throat and hands shaking, she searched for the switch to turn the light on.
After finding it, she turned the lights on with her shaky hands. Her throat now forming a lump on hearing the voices grow louder.
"Mene jab mana kiya tha toh tum kyu gye apne doston ke saath peene, aur gye bhi toh itni kyu pi li?" Her mom shouted at her drunk dad.
"Mera jo mann karega me woh karunga, tu rok nhi sakti mujhe, maa nhi h tu meri." Her dad shouted back.
She wanted to cry. Her chest tightening.
Fell her tears on hearing some furniture break. What could an 8 year old child react to such a traumatic situation.
She quietly tiptoed to open the door to see what was going on.
Her parents were in an arranged marriage, they were deeply in love with each other but when they fought, it got so bad she couldn't handle it, but now the fights were getting out of hand and no one was doing anything to stop it.
Her dad had drinking problems and her mom hated it, therefore she fought with him.
A cry broke out from her lips because of what she saw.
Her parent's fight had turned into a physical one.
She ran to her parents to try to get them to separate.
"Papa please, papa please mt maaro, mamma, mamma please!!!!" She shouted loudly while crying.

Aashna knew something was wrong.
She was quiet mature for her age. Only 11 but forced to grow up because of childhood trauma.
Her mom was overly frustrated nowdays and her dad head suddenly turned ignorant towards them. They fought constantly. But she wasn't sure about the reason. Until one day, a tremendous fight broke out between them and everything became clear.
It was a woman, a woman was trying to destroy her family, Aashna had her own suspicion which now came to be true, her dad had cheated on her mom.
Aashna was now sure why her dad kept goung out unusually and never let anyone touch his phone.
She was a woman from their own colony who had shifted here with her 3 children, being a single mom, it was hard to take care of all the 3 children by herself, so she thought Aashna's dad was the golden hen.
The fights between her parents grew dirtier day by day, her dad would get drunk and leave home in the middle of the night, leaving her mom and herself alone in a world full of danger.
