At somewhere in London

" May God bless you my child may you get everything you want " an old woman blessed her

" I don't want anything from God grandma, I have stopped asking from God " a beautiful young girl maybe now she will be in her 20s replied

" Why my child, children of your age have so many things to ask from God so many things they want from God and they keep complaining and you such a small beautiful vibrant young girl doesn't want anything from Him " the old woman reasoned out

The girl slightly smiled but the smile was not that one which used to bright all her surroundings , she answered with a gloomy face
" I am not like others grandma I have lost everything I had in my life I have lost my reason to live "

" Who have you lost my kid "

She paused took a deep breath closed her eyes a slight smile adorned her face and she answered
" My father "

Here in Mumbai somewhere

He felt as if his breath was being taken he felt as if his child took his name

In London again

" I am soo sorry child did he left you"

She denied she replied in a soft unheard tone. " I left him "

" I don't know what happened to you but may you get your peace back dear "
" Mom let's go we are getting late "
The old woman nodded and went away with her son but when she left she turned back to the girl and assured her as if destiny's waiting for her to bring her smile back she smiled seeing that old woman being soo confident in her life and went for her work


The girl closed the door of her appartment and entered she kept her bag and sat in the sofa tiredly

" Why are you late madam " Kriti asked keeping a glass of water infront of her amd stood crossing her hands against her chest raising her eyebrows

Aakriti sheepishly smiled and hold her ears like a child " sorry massi ek old lady mili thi bahut sweet thi baat karte karte pata hi nahi chala kab late ho gayaa "

Kriti sat beside her in the sofa " Oh really aap library nahi gayi Aaj madam " asked raising her eyebrows

Aakriti closed her eyes shut yes she was in library she likes to keep herself buised in books she likes to read books as soon as she completes her classes she directly goes to the district library and later she gets so busy reading she doesn't gets trace of time and comes back late kriti have scolded her many times but if she listens

Kriti gently whacked her in her arms " kitna bola hai itni late Tak mat reh jaldi aajaya kar paar nahi aapko to meri Sunni hi nahi hai

Aakriti stood up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water " bahut interesting book hai maasi pata nahi chala kab time chala gaya " she again hold her ears "sorry I will try ki jaldi aa jaun "

" Try like really Ms Aakriti Singhania try " kriti asked getting annoyed while coming out of the kitchen

Aakriti back hugged her and said " this is the only thing that keeps me sane maasi you know how much I like reading books "

" Offcourse ma'am you are a Bookophile right" kriti asked in a taunting way

Aakriti " maasi yaar majak to mat urao of me being a bookophile "Aakriti whinned Kriti laughed out loud at her big baby

Kriti laughed flicking her nose " kitni cute hai tu bacha " kriti laughed but Aakriti stood numb because someone else said the same line to her. Memories came crashing her mind when a tear dropped from her eyes without her permission.
