She is now a 25 years old girl with fair skin tone, almond orbs and a sharp nose. She had completed her graduation under Scholarship as she was from a middle-class family. Her family had only two members, herself and her mother. Her father was dead when she was 2 years during an accident. Her father died while saving her from death. She was so adamant on getting an apple for herself that she started throwing tantrums at her father. Her father has gladly taken her to an apple vendor and he is purchasing it for her when from nowhere, a drunkard who is riding his Scooter on a junction came towards them with his unstable driving and dashed them that her father fled away towards the road along with his daughter. At the same time, a truck came towards them. So her father threw his daughter in the garbage near to them and in the meantime, the truck dashed her father and he died on the spot. It happened in spun off a few seconds that nobody had time to react. She doesn't even remember this, until her mother told about it to her at the age of 15, not wanting to hide anything from her daughter.
She was guilty at first but her mother told her that it wasn't her fault, it is written in destiny and no one has the power to change the destiny. She remembered her mother words.
"What would you have done if you were in your father's place and your little brother/sister in your place," asked her mother to a 15 years old girl who is crying.
"I'd have saved my brother," said the girl imagining herself and her brother in such a situation and cringed at the vision of her brother getting hurt.
"Why?"
"Because I want my brother safe as I love him," said the girl.
"Look, you had your answer with yourself and your father too did the same because he wants you safe as he loves you," said her mother.
The girl nods her head at her mother cutely understanding the underlying meaning of her mother's words. After some time her mother asked her a question.
"Why brother and why not sister," asked her mother.
"I love to have a brother Mom," said 15 years old.
Her mother smiled at her and kissed her forehead affectionately.
She smiled remembering her mother who is sitting with her Son-in-law at present and God knows what is the secret she is sharing with her Son-in-law that she is whispering something in his eardrums and giggling along with her SIL.
She remembered her Mother's concern towards her when she was 18 years old and had to go for another state for her further studies. Her mother is a private employee, can only afford for monthly needs had no stability to make her study but thanks to her brain which is so competent that she got a scholarship for her whole studies and for her to stay in a hostel, thus removing the guilt and inconstancy from her mother's heart that she couldn't able to make her daughter study! Her mother felt very low while she was sending her off to a new place, a hostel, but understanding the need of studies, she consoled herself that her daughter will come for every vacation. She couldn't look at her mother feeling low, so she being extrovert consoled her mother and at the end cracked some jokes making her mother smile.
She remembered her stay in a hostel.
She is doing her work sitting on her bed when her phone beeped with the ringtone that she set for her mother's call especially. So, putting aside her work for some time, She lifted the call eager to talk to her mother. True, whatever we do, whatever we have, in the end, we need someone special to share our feelings with, be it our mother or our father or our siblings. In her case, she had, has and only will have her mother to share her feelings with. Nobody could change that, even her Prince Charming who will come for her galloping a horse.
"Hello, Mom," said the girl.
"Hello my Jaan, how was your day," asked her mother.
"Hectic, Not that bad, I don't like my new faculty who is showing partiality towards us. I don't like him," said she to her mother being extrovert, only with her mother, specifically though.
Her mother chuckled at her daughter's talk.
"Leave about my mom, how was your day?"
"As usual as always it used to be,
nothing special Jaan," said mother to her daughter."What are you doing mom? Did you eat," asked daughter to her mother.
"Yes. Yes. I did, or else I know about you. I don't want to become deaf now," said her mother chuckling at her daughter, remembering the times when her daughter will scold a mother for not eating properly.
"Have you had your dinner?" asked mother.
"Yup. I had."
"What do you had?"
"Bitter guard," said a daughter with a crooked mouth in resentment.
Her mother laughed off at her daughter as she knows that her daughter will always throw tantrums when she'll cook Bitter Guard.
The same way her world is running along with her, a world where there is only her and her mother, but out of nowhere, someone started disturbing her thoughts, her stalker, who didn't leave any chance to stalk her everywhere.
In class
In canteen
In Gym
Everywhere, he was everywhere disturbing her thoughts which became hindrance between her goal.
Her goal was only one and that is to earn a job and earn for her mother & keep her like her queen, a queen of her own world.She was in 4th year of her graduation and still, that guy didn't disturb her directly nor stopped stalking her. She is kind of liking the guy but she knows that what is she and why is she here for? So, she started ignoring her growing feelings towards her stalker.
Her days were like as always, she completed her graduation and got a job in campus itself because of her cleverness and her scoring.She was happy, finally happy that she got a job and there is no more need for her mother to work. As she is there to feed her mother now. She can't let her mother feed her when she was offered by a great job in her home town which is a city too which consists of 2 crores/Annum package.
But Happiness is meant to be destroyed, Isn't it?
Is there any meaning of happiness if there isn't sadness?
Can Life be full of bed roses?She remembered the fateful night of her life when she was going back to her home for forever to surprise her mother with incredible news.
But, yes she did surprise her but the surprise took her mother's breath out from her life. She was in a great shock looking at her daughter's state who was bought back to home by a stalker.How is it?
