Age :10
Time:1:20pm
After 3 days of being unconscious
Nandini slowly opened her eyes with sharp pain in her head ..
"She woke up"..she heard a voice ..
She tried to sit up but she was pushed down
"You need to lie down"..he said and went out of the room ..
Nandini is so confused ..
She doesn't remember how she ended up in hospital
Meanwhile doctor came to room ..
"Good afternoon dear..how are you feeling"..the doctor asked touching her hand for pulse ..
"What happened"..she whispered
"Just a small accident .. nothing to worry about ..
So now tell me what's your name ?"..
He asked and she replied with nandini ..
"Nandini??"..he mumbled and looked at the people in the room ..
"Althea..nandini Althea"..they replied
With disbelief the doctor turned towards nandini
"Good, now do you remember how you got hurt ?"..he asked and Nandini tried to think ..
And a sharp pain hit her head and she shouted a little ..
"It's fine ..it's fine ..relax ..relax"..the doctor said and went out of the room ..
The man who is completely covered in black clothes just entered the hospital and was about to go inside the room but saw the doctor and the doctor told him to follow
"She met with a traumatic experience ..
It was so horrible for her than she shut the details of the experience..
Try to proceed with caution ..let her forget the things she wants to forget and try to make her happy as much as possible"..doctor said and gave him some medicine names on a paper ..
"She can be discharged tomorrow"the doctor said and the man left the room ..
He went inside the room of Nandini and saw her asleep
"Wake her up"..he said and his men woke her up ..
He went near her and cupped her face inbetween his hands
"You will remember all the things that ever happened to you .."..he said and one of his men asked
"What's that , you should've said to forget everything right"..he asked
"No,a person shouldn't forget whatever he has gone through in his life cause that's what a human life is ..she is just a child but even if she forget the things she thinks that are bad soon or later in some way the life brings it infront of her not letting her escape ..then at that point ..life will be more harder for her ..
She just have to go with the flow ..right now so she can go through good in the future"..he said and everyone remained silent ..
He saw her again ..
"You have very beautiful eyes.."..he said with a chuckle ..
"You have to wake up with a nightmare of your trauma tomorrow so atleast sleep peacefully today and forget about us"..he said and slowly she slowly went to sleep
"Leave her in her home tomorrow"..he said and left from the room
"Brother wait"..he heard a voice ..
He turned back
"What's the matter Arnav"..he asked and Arnav had a smile ..
"It's been long time since we had a time to experience outside in human world and it is very rare for you to take care of a child ...what changed ?"..he asked ..
"Who knows"..he replied and left from there ..
----------
The next day
Time:8:30 Am
Nandini slowly opened her eyes and got up and sat down ..
She got slight pain and touched her head ..
She saw a bandage ..
She remembered everything happened to her
"Dad"..she mumbled and got up and went down to her father room..
She slightly opened the door and saw her father unconscious ..
"Daddy"..she shouted and went near him ..
He reeked of alcohol
He passed out from getting drunk ..
She shaked him hardly and he slightly opened his eyes
"Where the hell have you been till now"..he shouted angrily and hit her ..
-----
She accepted her fate ..
She can't do anything ..
She believes she killed her mother
At one time ..she feels like she lost all her parents ..
Her home ..
Her love ..
Her everything
Her house doesn't feel like home .
Age increased but the abuse from her father stayed ..
He stopped working and forced nandini to work ..
She from the age of 14 started working ..
Her mother's and her father's bank money helped her with her schooling but for her father's alcohol and for running the home she needs money ..
And she was forced
She don't know anything except to accept everything comes in her way ..
Good or bad ..
A fight is something she can't do ..
Not to her father ..
But once again she saw some hope in her life

Age: 16
Time : 5:00 in the evening ..
She was opening the cap of the ointment with her bloody hands ..
Sitting at the lake side of her favourite place
She was hit again ..
Just above her eye she is bleeding ..
And her back of the hands are bruised..
"Should I help?".
She heard a voice and turned back ..
There is a 170cm tall man wearing a highschool uniform with a bag at his back ..
With black eyes and hair standing covering the light falling on her..
"Get lost"..she replied and took the cotton out of her bag and started cleaning the wound
"Accident?"..he asked sitting beside her ..
"Kind of"..she replied and he took the cotton from her hand .
"Tell me if it hurts"..he said and dipped the cotton in the liquid for cleaning germs and slightly pressed it on her face above the eye ..
There was no reaction in her ..
"Looks like you got habituated".he said and started cleaning her hands ..
He opened the ointment and started applying to her face ..
"Habituated huh"..she said with a sad face
"Do you wanna talk?"..he asked ..
And Nandini smiled looking at him ..
She never had friends after her situation changed completely ..
She was lonely picked on ..avoided. .
Pushed to an edge but she was always strong ..
Now finally she felt something when he approached her ..
Kind of like a relief ..
And she opened up to him
