A girl in the dark world

#2 The Brief

Bangalore...

It was a fine summer day at Bangalore. Nisha was getting ready to go to hospital. She checked her list of things one last time which she had to take along with her to the hospital.

"did you call the cab rithwi?" nisha asked her husband. "yes dear, will be here in few minutes. Are you feeling tensed?" Rithwik asked his darling and planted a kiss on her forehead. Nisha called her husband with a nick name - rithwi...

"yes i am. But i am more excited to hold my baby and admire" she said with a wide smile.

Nisha and Rithwick are lovely couples. They fell in love with each other during their college days. Both of their families opposed their love. "Why shouldn't we stand against our families?" they thought and got married. They lived for each other and enjoyed their life happily...but there were no signs of their family to accept them back.

This happened an year ago. Now it's time to welcome the love of their life. The doctor asked nisha to get admitted in the hospital one day before her due date. So the time had come.

Soon they reached the hospital. Few hours later, nisha felt the pain her labour pain. She couldn't bear it and screamed as hard as she could. "Rithwi" was the name she kept calling and longed for breathe..All the doctors rushed in and it was a critical moment for her. Rithwick stood by her side to be a support for her but he couldn't see his wife suffer from the pain and had tears in his eyes.

Finally it turned out to be a normal delivery. A sweetie pie was born and both mother and baby were fine. Nisha had no limits to her happiness. She was a proud mother who gave birth to a beautiful girl baby.

That is when Mansi was born.....

The cute little baby was their treasure. They found much more happiness with her. The whole house was filled with toys and dolls. There was a glitter in the family. Wealth poured and happiness was immense. Nisha tried a lot to bring in their families together. Those people reacted as if nisha and rithwi killed someone to death.

Well.. Some Indian people are more into these cultures, caste and religion so they don't give respect to feelings.

Days passed by. The couple took great care of their princess and rejoiced at every thing she did. Soon she turned 1. The words she started to speak were Ma, Pa, ninii, nono, bow....Only her parents could understand what she wants.

One day they planned to go on a trip to Coorg, a beautiful hill station near Bangalore .It was their first outing with the cutie pie. They packed heavy luggages to stay for a week and dumped into the car and started the journey.

Once they reached the outskirts of Bangalore the car sped at a high speed. They enjoyed the beauty with lovely conversations as they drove. Rithwik kept playing with his child as he sped. Nisha showed the scenery and lush green tress to her daughter to make her smile.

That was one last smile they both saw on their daughter's face. As the car sped through the highway, rithwik lost his control and crossed the lane where a volvo bus that came straight from the opposite side at a high speed hit their car in a flash of second.

OMG...such a terrible accident it was..!! Nisha and Rithwick were seriously injured and were bleeding to death. The little baby was safe in her mother's arms but all she could do was cry cry cry looking at her parents.

The couple was rushed to the nearby hospital in Bangalore but they were declared as dead. The little girl was left alone..they left their princess alll alone and passed away. The hospital took care of the formalities and tried to contact someone from their family to handover the child. But it was all in vain.

The hospital and the police didn't know what to do with the child. She was just a one and half years old baby who lost her parents in a miserable fate. A poor child..doesn't even know that she has nobody anymore.

Only way was to handover the child to some ashram. The nearby ashram where they could give away the child had the name
"Vishwa Shanti Ashram".

Dr.Sudeep came along with the child and explained the case to the ashram. The ashram accepted to raise the child. They asked for the child's name and age for registration. Sudeep, who had this girl had no idea... But immediately what stroke him was, the name Mansi.

§§§§§§§§

Mansi is a soft and sweet girl. She has a brown eyes with thick long eyelashes. You have to see her wink.. Awwww Her eyes would be so mesmerising.

A short girl always looks cute. So does Mansi who is 5"1 feet tall with wheatish toned skin. The dimples on her cheeks could make a man's day perfect.

She has a short straight and thick black hair which falls just below her shoulders. She loves to tie her hair into a pony tail rather than plaiting it.

Mansi is a kind of girl who is strong by heart. She knows that she has to be on her own and works hard to stand on her legs. But the dark feeling of being an orphan always haunted her. She doesn't express herself to anyone. It takes so long for her to mingle with someone new to her.

All that she believes is..her parents are somewhere above her watching and blessing her always. Though she cannot see them she shares her experiences with them whenever she felt low...she always thanked her parents for giving her a life but did not hate them or blame them for leaving her alone....

How sweet of her..!!!
