Sandhya Pov

Hey, I'm Sandhya, only Sandhya, a nineteen years old orphan girl, who lives in an orphanage, I don't have any family and also a surname, there are many kids like me, they often chose a random surname for themselves like Kumar, Kumari, or whatever that sounded more appealing to their ears but I never wanted such titles that don't belong to me. I believe in making my own identity by myself and I know I will do that someday in the future.

Life here in this orphanage is very tough. My senior warden is very abusive and kept on torturing us kids in different ways. He always uses our innocent faces as a cheque to receive bigger donations from all the visitors. He lies to everyone and says, 'Whatever money you'll donate will be used to fulfill the needs of these kids and also to improve their standard of living.' which is a very very very big lie. These people never spend a single extra penny on us and hand over all the amount received as donations to the trustees of this orphanage. Here, only our necessities are fulfilled and the only best thing about this orphanage is, they provide us education.

Education and I share a very strong bond, wherever I am today it's only because of education, to know the details about what I am trying to say, I will have to tell you a tale of my past deeds.

When I was a kid, I must be 6, that was the first time I tried to run away from this orphanage but unfortunately our caretaker Priya Di caught me red-handed. She told me that if I genuinely wanted to get rid of this place then I should get it in a better way. She made me understand the 'importance' and the 'power' of education. She further explained how a good education tends to make anyone's life better and can be helpful to lead a happy and successful life. Since that day my only motive is to study and be successful.

But I guess!! My fate was cooking some different plans for me because the greedy trustees of my orphanage tried to snatch away my only hope, my only goal in life.

After that day, for almost three years, I studied so hard to maintain my rank in class and to earn the scholarship amount of 5 lakhs rupees so I could study in one of the top schools of the town, and finally, that day arrived when I bagged the scholarship prize and my dreams were about to be true, but when those good for nothing trustees got to know about my scholarship money and how huge the amount is, they seized that money forcefully and included it in their donation fund. I used all my willpower to stop them. I begged I cried, I even touched their feet, still, they didn't consider any of my requests and kicked me out of their office.

And you know what's the funniest part of this entire scenario is? The name of this orphanage is 'Hope Orphanage'.

Huh! Hope my foot. According to me, its name should be 'Hope snatcher orphanage'.

Hey! Don't feel pity for me. I didn't get affected by whatever those monsters did to me. I was born as a strong girl and nobody could break me so easily.

The nine-year-old me cooked up an escape plan for the second time as I didn't have any motive left to stay in that jail (Orphanage) anymore. For the full proof plan, I had also included some of my orphanage friends to help me.

I thought to jump across the boundary wall as it was the best idea that my tiny nine years old brain could come up with and without thinking about the consequences of my plan, I decided to implement the same. But how could I expect my life to be so sorted and easy, without any drama? Once again my fate twisted his unpredictable wand and came across with some different plans for me.
