Room inside Pooja was locked

Pooja walked around the room restlessly thinking about how to save her from this current issue. She don't have any expectations from Indrajit. Only light was Ranveer but he also give up on her. Pooja banged her hands on table and screamed.

" If you wanted to give me such a life why you made me to born ? Why ? " She shouted looking around at the walls and fell down on the floor. Her past which never wanted to remember came into her mind which made her loose all sanity.

.....................

" Only this much ? Do you think I am doing free service for you ? This is not even enough for me to get a drink at night. " A middle aged lady was shouting at a man in an alley of a slum.

" Then how much you will get ? Look at yourself first. People don't need such old women now. Those who don't have money will only choose you. I can't give more than this . If you want then take this or I am leaving " he said annoyingly and closed the bag which had money.

" Then how I am going to live ? What should I do with my daughters ? " That lady yelled back.

An young Pooja, who was around 18 years old came out from her small single room house hearing the commotion outside. That man looked at her from head to toe and smiled at Pooja.

" You have something which similar to a money tree. She is beautiful and young. If you agree then I can.... "

Before he could complete that lady started laughing like he said the joke of year.

" Madam wants to study and become a doctor. She is the one who is eating all my money. I can't even feed my own child but this girl. " Said the lady. Pooja was hearing everything silently and didn't replied back. She was used to everything so she knows how to keep silence.

" Do you know how much it costs to become a doctor ? Getting admission into a nice college is not important. From there who will pay your fees. It will be lakhs and lakhs. " That man said to Pooja in a mocking tone.

"  I know. Some foundations are there to help students like me and I will apply for scholarship... " Pooja mumbled.

" Are you sure you will get help from them ? Okay... Even if you get into college how you gonna adjust with the students who came from well reputed families ? Are you sure you can survive there with this background ? "  He asked.
Pooja doesn't have any reply for his questions

" Come here I will give you a good option. This is like a business between us. " He asked Pooja to come out and have a talk with him. He tried to make Pooja convinced for join with him so that he will get her some good clients.

" Who will get to know about background if you have enough money atleast to show off. Consider this as a part time job until you get into college. Profit will be fifty fifty. " He said to Pooja and leaned forward to tell another secret.

" This is a free advice from this old man girl. Find someone rich from your college and suck up on him. No matter what,  you shouldn't leave him until you get what you want. Listen to my advice.... Petty lives like you can't never reach for the sky in a straight way. This society won't allow it. When people are busy to make their kids life safe and secure will they allow worms like you to win ? No..... They will only try to destroy you because it's easy" He added.

" I understood what you said uncle but those rich brats and their family won't get to know about my background incase if I succeeded to get one ? Then what should I do ? " Pooja asked
