Om nama shivay..
Om nama shivay..
I kept chanting the mantra to clam my mind down.
I slowly opened my eyes.
Roshni go and bring water from common tap, my mother yelled.
Haan ma, I replied.
I got up and took two vessels from the kitchen.
I walked towards the common tap.
Kaku, I only want to fill two vessels can I please fill it fast., I politely asked aunty.
Yes sure, she replied with a polite smile.
I began to fill the vessels.
Ajay Dada arahe hai, some yelled.
Everyone in colony bowed there head.
Kaku kon hai ye, I asked.
Sar juka ab, she said her voice holding fear.
A an maybe in his late 40s walked in everyone's bowed there head in front of him.
He looked at Laxmi Kaku.
Laxmi ji ab apki Umar hogi hai, bank kakarz bar te bar, kaha app apki kamar todengi. Mere pass ek offer hai tere pass. App apka ye ghar bhej dijey aur, mai yeh bank ko bola dunga ki appka koi loan bhi tha. He said his tone mocking.
His gaze fell on me, I was not bowing my head like other.
Aye chori, He yelled pointing at me.
Jab yaha Ajay Roy Ata hai tab sab apna sar jukate hai. He commended.
App hote Ron hai Laxmi Kuku ko offer done wale. I said my voice firm.
Aur rahi baat mere sar ki toh, Roshni Avasthi naam he mera. mere sar na kisi agege jukta na kabhi jukega. Before I could say any thing babas voice came from behind.
Roshni kya kar rahi ho, I turned.
sabhab maaf kardo, My father said while joining his hands.
He grabbed my arm and dragged me towards our house.
Baba app I tried to argue.
Meri baat sunn, aaj ke badd Ajay Sabhab be samne maat aana. He said.
Bas Ghar chal.
Without arguing I walked home.
The entire day was long.
I helped my mother with cooking and when to bed.
I closed my eyes.
Azuba Today I am really missing you. Bada told me not to fight for someone today injustice took place in front of my eyes and I was helpless. I really need you.
I didn't realize when sleep drift me.
