Divya's POV

" Anna, main hospital mai hoon. General hospital." (Bro, I am in the hospital.) I said to my brother.

When your brother is in the City you will be getting interrogated on every step you take. I don't know about others but my Anna is like over protective brother all the damn time. Then there is Rahul and Rudra.

They will call me like : Akka, what were you doing there today?! Akka, today one of my friends have seen you there. What were you doing there? You should have called me. I would have taken you there.

I mean they are like I am their younger sister. They are my older brother. Were they not enough that Anna has to come back to the City!!! My life is going to be dull again. But can't help love my brothers. They are little piece of my heart.

Then what about Diya and chhoti?! My brain asked me. I rolled my eyes.

They are the big ones. I said to it.

I have never regretted about not having siblings because I have some amazing cousins. They are just gifts from heaven. And add Sanam there. My life is more than perfect.

" Hospital!!!" He said. " Tum thik to ho na?" (Are you ok?) He asked me.

" Anna, ap chinta maat Karo. Main thik Hoon. Main gher aake saab bolti Hoon." (Bro, don't worry. I am fine. I will tell you everything when I come back home. ) I said to him.

" Chaalo phir thik hai. Apna khayal rakhna. Aur jaroorat pade to phone ker dena." (Ok, then. Take care. If you need anything then call me.) He said.

" Ok, Anna." I said.

" Ok, bye." He said.

" Anna!!" I said.

" Haan, bolo." (Yeah, what is it?) He asked.

" Sanam kaha hai?" (Where is Sanam?) I asked him.

" So rahi hai woh." (She is sleeping.) He said.

" Oh, ok. Dadi kaisy hain abhi?" (How is grandma now?) I asked him.

" Woh bhi so rahe hai. Thik hai abhi." (She is also sleeping. She is ok now.) He said.

" Ok then." I said. " Anna, apko paata hai aaj Kya hua?" (Bro, do you know what happened today?) I asked him.

" Kya hua?" (What happened?) He asked me.

I told him everything how I met Arun and what happened earlier.

" So, he wants to come back?" He asked me.

" Haan." (Yes.) I said to him.

" Tumne Kya bola?" (What did you say?) He asked me.

" Reject ker dia directly." (Rejected him directly.) I said to him and he chuckled.

" That's like my sister. Yese log kabhi bi change nahi hote. Chahe kitne chances de do." (People like these will never ever change no matter how many chances you give them.) He said to him.

" Haan. 'Second chance' doesn't exist in my dictionary." (Yes.) I said.

" Thik hai. Gher aajao. Phir baat kertay hai." (Alright. Come home then we will talk.) He said.

" Ok. Anna, bye. Take care. Love you." I said to him and he chuckled.

" Bye. You too take care." He said and hung up.

I was going back to the cabin but I found Mr. Kingston's driver with two little kids. May be they are Ganga's siblings. I stopped.

" Madam, yeh Ganga ki behen Gauri aur yeh Ganga ki Bhai Karan." (Ma'am, she is Ganga's sister Gauri and he is her brother Karan.) He said to me and I nodded.

I kept looking at them. That little girl Ganga works to support her family!!! I guess she herself will be 9 or 10. I think Gauri will be around 8 and Karan is still a little kid. He will be 6. I knelt in front of them and pinched on there noses. They looked at me weirdly.

" Ap Gauri ho?" (Are you Gauri?) I asked her.

" Haan, aur yeh mere Bhai hai Karan."(Yes. And this is my brother Karan.) She said. " Ap koun ho?" (Who are you?) She asked me. I chuckled.

" Main Divya Hoon. Ap log mujhe Divya bula saktay ho." (I am Divya. You guys can call me Divya.) I said.

" Lekin ap to badi ho na? Didi ne bola bado ko naam se nahi bula saktay."(But you are older than us. Didi told we can't call elders by their names.) Karan said and I chuckled. I ruffled his hair.

" To ap log mujhe Akka bula saktay ho." (Then you guys can call me 'akka') I said.

" Haan, to phir thik hai. Hum apko Akka hi bulayenge." (Yes, it's ok then. We will call you 'Akka') Gauri said. I smiled.

" Ap logo ne kuch khaya school se wapas asked?" (Did you guys have something yet after coming back from school?) I asked them.

" Nahi roj Didi khana banate hai na, aaj Didi bimar hai to khana koun banayega?" (No, Didi cooks for us everyday. Today she is sick then who will cook?) She asked me and I sighed inwardly.

This little girl earns money then buys food for her siblings cooks for them. She must save money for their school fees as well. How does she manage things?! I think her mental age is double of mine. She is not just an ordinary 10 years old girl she is a fighter who is fighting every single moment of her life for everything. That is called a real hero. That is the spirit which we should respect and admire. But we call them dirty and poor. We call them street children. I am sure most of us will not be able to survive in that situation.

" Koyi baat nahi. Akka hai na? Aaj Akka k sath lunch ker lena ap log." (No worries. Akka is here, right? You guys have lunch with Akka today.)" I said to them. They nodded.

" Lekin Didi?" (But Didi?) Karan asked.

" Didi bimar hai na, isilie doctor ne unko inject dia hai. Woh so rahe hai." (Didi is sick this why doctor has given her an injection. She is sleeping.) I said to them.

" Kya hum unse mil saktay hai?" (Can we meet her?) Gauri asked me.

" Haan. Ap unse mil saktay hai lekin pehle lunch ker lijiye." (Yes, you can meet her but have lunch before that.) I said to them.

They had lunch with me then they met their sisters. Mr. Kingston told me to take the kids at home. I nodded. They can't stay there in the hospital like that. I patted Ganga's head. Ganga which is the name of a brave fighter.
