Avani looked the piece of paper which had the address of Government Hostel.
She thanked the driver and got down.
She moved towards her house and at the threshold of her house , the land lady was leaning on the door .
"I'm not letting you in tonight. Go away!"
The lady warned while glaring at Avani.
"Aunty...I'm searching....for a job...once I'll..get it ...I'll not even let my shadow come in front of your house...."
Avani said while her hand rested on her belly.
Avani said while her whole body was exhausted, it was being difficult for her to roam from one office to another with a 6 month old pregnant belly.
"Why should I let you stay at my home? Are you my daughter?? "
The lady said while shrugging her shoulders.
"Yes....I'm not one's daughter... sister....friend....but please understand that I'm someone's MOTHER! have that empathy, atleast for the sake of God! Please...."
Avani requested while joining her hands.
The lady rolled her eyes and moved downstairs while glaring her.
Avani closed her eyes and kept her hand on her heart.
she could even feel her fingers shivering.
She opened her eyes and looked at her palm which was shaking involuntarily.
She got into her prison.
Despite the weather being humid, she was feeling cold shivers across her body.
She was unsure if her body was reacting in this way, either because of the fear of future or perhaps due to the current scenario.
She closed the door and settled on the floor.
She rubbed her palms to generate heat from the friction she's creating.
She rubbed her palms to remove the uncontrollable trembling sensations in her body.
She felt thirsty and got up by placing her hand on the near by sofa and walked towards the refrigerator.
She gulped the whole bottle in a go.
Her stomach grumbled indicating that someone's hungry.
She scanned through the fridge finding only radish.
The smell itself made her nauseous.
Never in her life she expected to purchase them but, because they were cheaper she both them.
Although she knew that she can't convince herself to let radish go down her throat due to it's sharp flavour which isn't her cup of tea.
She took the radish and cut them into cubes and quickly made a stir fry with them .
She served them in two bowls.
Even though Akash isn't around, she's habituated to this, her heart experiences a sense of content atleast for a while.
She served bit of rice with huge amount of curry, in her head, she has been feeling guilty for not giving proper nutrition to her child.
She took the plates and kept one infront of her and the other opposite to her, the place he used to sit.
Avani was feeling uneasy at the soles of her feet .
Avani palmed her face and took deep breaths.
Her body was unfortunately was showing reluctance towards food.
She rubbed her stiffened body and took a morsel of rice and was sceptical to try the curry out, she closed her eyes and nose and then the moment she kept the radish pieces on her tongue, the crunchy yet tender radish made her love the pungent . She relished the wholesome meal.
"It's not that worse."
Avani said while her eyes glazed as they're in season and are affordable too.
She hired the auto and moved towards the Government Hostel.
The hostel surpassed her expectations as it was as huge as a whole community!
Her desparate eyes ignited a spark of hope in her.
She walked towards the main building and saw kids going through vigorous exercises.
She witnessed youngsters of different age groups.
She moved towards the main building and headed towards cabin.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
The old man in a suit questioned her.
"I...want..to..work..here.."
His eyes moved towards her swollen belly and Avani's arms instinctively moved to protect her little bean.
"I'm not into providing jobs for...such ladies."
He pointed out his finger to her belly.
"I...need..a..source..of...income! Please provide...me one..."
Avani raised her voice while her lips for quivering.
"Where's your husband? Is he dead or what? Can't he even provide for his wife and child?"
Avani hung her face low and lifted her stiffened face.
"He's....death.."
She stammered and silent tears fell off from her eyes as uttering such thing out of her mouth is in itself a punishment she's destined for life.
After hearing that he widened his eyes .
"I'll..show...you...one department...it requires..workers, you..can do it...even in this situation.."
His voice lowered at the sight of her helplessness.
He showed the way towards the enormous kitchen.
"We've around 700 young champions who're aiming to win many prestigious sports tournaments. Our now government wants to make Andhra Pradesh 'The Sport's State of India' to make that come into reality, our kids need nutritious food. Regrettably, we are short of staff. You can work in the chopping the vegetables and fruits sector. Don't you dare do any mischief, remember, you'll be provided free room to stay, food needed for your kid and proper healthcare. "
Avani felt overwhelmed by the incentives she and her child will receive, she was elated and bent down a little to touch his feet and he moved back.
"Start working from tomorrow!"
