The video at the top is the lullaby that Savannah's Mom is singing to her but in Hindi, the one in the story is translated into English.
Savannah's P.O.V
"Hey, Annah! Sorry, we left so abruptly before you could come out of the shower, I don't know what happens with Blaze but once he woke up he just wanted to get out of your house. I didn't want to argue with him cause of his injury. Call me back."
I sighed putting my phone down on the bed, did he actually think that his leaving was going to stop any sort of beating that my dad had planned for me today. I mean I'm glad he left otherwise I would have gotten a worse beating tomorrow. God, when did my life get so complicated? It's all his fault, everything is his fault.
"You unwanted bitch get down here now!" My dad screamed from downstairs "Come down now!!"
What did I do now? "C-Coming Sir"
I quickly make my way downstairs trying to prevent him from getting more frustrated "What happened?"
His smirk made my heart start beating faster "We just haven't spent some quality time together in a long time don't you think?"
He started walking closer to me but his hands were behind his back. What was he hiding?
I started to take steps back "Sir, what's behind your back?"
"I was waiting for you to ask that my sweetheart" He pulled out a whip "Get on your knees."
"What? No"
He grabbed my hair harshly and yanked me towards him "Do you want to make this harder for yourself?"
"Please Dad, I'm your daughter. Please."
"You are a mistake, that's all you are. A mistake." He pushed me down on the floor and took off my pants and shirt while I was struggling against him. He started to whip me ignoring my screams and protests while repeating the same words over and over again "She died because of you. You are a mistake. I hate you. You should have died."
These words haunted me at night, every night.
. . . Flashback (When she was younger) . . .
"Mommy, mommy!!" I said running up to her "What does illegitimate mean?"
She stopped washing the dishes and turned around "Baby, who called you that?"
"Grandma did. She said I was a mistake and illegitimate."
Mom slid down to the kitchen floor and pulled me towards her making me sit in her lap "Savy, you are not a mistake, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you so much. Always remember that okay? No matter what your grandma says, no matter what anyone says I love you."
"I love you too Momma, more than anything," I said yawning
"Want me to sing you, your favorite lullaby?" I smiled cuddling into her more.
"Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Even if the moon is just half, It still provides light
Even if the moon is just half, It still provides light
If we don't lose hope, Every problem works itself out
