One day, when I woke up, I saw the twins, Muni and Dhara secretly grinning at me. But when I checked my face in the mirror, I gasped. There were doodles all over my body of coloured sketches. I understood everything and got infuriated. I slammed the door and told everything to Mr Mehral. He called Muni and Dhara and started scolding them. Mrs Mehral came to see. She saw my appearance, the twins and Mr Mehral and she understood everything. " I understood Li. Go and wash." She commanded. I went to the bathroom, banging the floor. I was exasperated. I held the soap in my hand and stood in front of the mirror. I hadn't even started cleaning than I started crying. I looked at my reflection. "Why? I don't belong here. I don't fit in here. I would never be able to recover. I am just making a mess for myself and the family." I thought. Soon, a tear rolled down my face. One by one, they were not stopping. I could only hear some voices, "Why do you both do that? I always get your complaints. When will you stop bothering us and that poor girl. We have to take care of her, not torture her." The soap slipped through my hands when I heard it. When the atmosphere cooled down, I went to Mr Mehral's room when he was alone there. He saw me and said," hey, what happened?" when he looked at my grieved face. " I, I wanted to talk to you about something." I stammered. "Sure, go on." "I think you should now stop bothering about me. You can send me to an orphanage so that I will not create a problem for you."said I without my eyes meeting with his. He didn't speak a word for a second and then said, "Why do you think that? Is there anything bothering you here? Tell me." His voice was full of concern. "No, no. It's fine here. It's even better than fine." He came closer to me and patted my head. "You don't have to bother about me. Never think that you are my liability," he smiled. "I will be happy to help you. I believe you will recover. You will stay here till then. I'll support you." He patted on my cheek and then left for office. I was still dissatisfied. His belief was very strong which was making my heart more heavy. I was thinking about it over and over again. My irresolution was depressing me. " I am the cause of all this problem. Now I know what I need to do." My mind started showing me wrong directions.
