It's early morning, she can hear the chirping sounds of birds around her, it woke her up with a smile lingering on her petals, but as it is a winter season, the body of her's being lazy, she cuddled up more into her blanket to sleep for some more time.As soon as she did, she couldn't sleep as the sun rays from the east side starting falling on her eyes, as the sun started raising from east, better say earth's completed its cycle revolving around its own axis, completing a day and night, and therefore, Sun is visible.
She woke up yawning as the sun rays disturbed her, threw away the blanket, looked up to see the sun , and as soon as she did, she closed her eyes with her hands. She opened her eyes, and peeked at the sun from her the space between her fingers, and closed again.
When can I able to look at the sun without closing my eyes?
She thought, as she once again failed to look at the sun.
She turned around taking her blanket with her and looked at her surroundings, everyone are sleeping cuddling inside their blankets. Of course they do, as it's a winter season, and to top of it, they are sleeping in the open terrace.
She took her phone which is laying beside her on the floor, beside her mat. She looked at the phone and the time in it.
6:00 AM - She have to get up and get ready. Already, it's too late.
As soon as this thought lit up her brain, she stood up, collected her mat and blanket, went down the steps to reach warden room.
She peeked at her warden room, her warden - Maria is still sleeping. After all she had to sleep, after looking after every child here, who is innocent and in need of mother cocoon. Maria - her guardian is a great woman, who didn't get married at all, all she did from the time she knew her is taking care of every child here, as a mother and a father as well.
She knew about her, in which condition she was bought here. She remembers everything but not everything at the same time, everything is a blur inside her hippocampus, the thing which is not blurred is something she don't want to remember.
If she did, all she could do was sit in a corner and cry her heart out.
How much ever her 22 years old heart want to be strong, and hardcore, that particular something makes her weak , and the wall around her heart breaks.
She is a soft woman for the people who loves her, and she loves them.
She is not a hard woman but a hard core, and I - don't - care woman for the people who hates her, and also for the people who are strangers to her.
She knew that the people think of her as a no - heart woman, and calls her a hardcore as doesn't respond to them.
She knew that once they knew about why 's behind her not responding, there is a feeling in their eyes which is inevitable and she didn't like it, a bit at all of it.
She doesn't respond at all the time, it's false. Because she does, and when she does there is a reason behind it. That is care.
For the people she doesn't care, thinks of her as a hardcore.
Yeah, she do know that, she is a hardcore woman.
She is a hardcore woman, that doesn't mean she don't have any feelings, she does have feelings, but it's secured with a wall around it called as fear.
She didn't share her feelings with anyone even if she cares for them except her guardian, her mother - Maria.
She's having a bond which is so sacred between them.
A Sacred Relationship which has no name. May there will be no name in future too, a mere name cannot define it's sacredness.
She does care about the people who are in dire need of it, not because she sympathize them, but because she cares for them.
There is not everyone in her life, for whom she cares on.
She does faced a lot of hurdles as a young child, and she still does that. But, the same hurdles made her strong, strong enough to fight for herself, even if it meant to fight with herself.
She went inside the room, as the thoughts slowly faded away as the morning prayers can be heard from nearby temple.
She checked all of her bags which are packed to check whether there are anything that is to be packed and found none.
She sighed a puff, as one of her work is done.
She went out taking her clothes to take a bath and looked at some children who are bathing under the tap.
"Didi," she heard them call her, and looked at them smiling.
" Good morning!" said the children who are getting bath by themselves to get ready for school.
" Good morning!" came a reply from her side as she smiled at them, still her mouth is closed and curved up.
The digital device of her's is finally useful for the charge she put it on for four good hours.
She went to take a bath, and some children were done with their bath.
Raizada Mansion
It's morning, sun rays are peeking at his room to wake him up, but the man is too deep in dreaming, sleeping on his bed selling his horses, under the thick blanket of his, slightly opening his mouth.
A perfect little infant can be pictured out from his posture.
His Room is very helpful for him to not to hear anything related to prayer. He is too deep in sleep that he didn't hear when someone entered his room.
That someone went near him, and placed the phone beside him, and after some seconds, he woke up with a jolt.
Anarkali disco chali
Anarkali disco chali
Chali re chali disco chali
He rejected the call, while that someone is laughing hiding from him, as she clutched her stomach with one hand, while other held her mouth from making sound.
He looked at the culprit, and she stopped laughing.
She made an innocent face, his gaze on her is too deep.
She gulped down the lump that formed out of fear.
In the next moment, she had to run away, saving herself from the devil as she started screaming while running, and he started chasing behind her, in his shorts and t - shirt.
A woman was disturbed because of their screams, her morning prayer is getting disturbed as usually.
"They will not change at all, " as she muttered under her breath , the two devils came in front of the woman to complain about each other, and she as usually stared listening to their nonsense.
" Arnav, you are a grown up man, don't you have any shame to come in front of us like this?" Ratna asked him as she looked at his Short and t - shirt.
"Come on, Mom? You always say the same, and by the way, aren't you the one who bathed me in my childhood? " he asked biting his tongue, and a slap landed on his head.
" Oh, what will you do when our paying guest will come? She is coming today, " the someone who disturbed his sleep asked him.
" Oh, don't worry! She will fall flat on her front when she will look at this handsome hunk," he said pointing at himself, a smirk is visible on his face.
Poor man!
Don't know what is going to come in his way!

She is ready , ready to leave this home which held a lot of memories, with Maria, her friends, and her family.
As soon as the thought came in her mind, she felt her breath and blood stagnant, she couldn't breath, but she have to.
" Khushi, you are going to live alone from now on, that doesn't mean you held no relation with this house anymore. You do, and whenever you feel alone, come here to me," Maria said, and looked at her child, and then tears made her way down when she looked at her child.
She don't want to send any child whom she nurtured up, but she have to, because it's neither a organization nor a orphanage, it's her house which consists of three floors, and just 15 rooms, whenever they get a new child here, they couldn't get enough space to provide a cocoon for everyone, that's the reason behind her and some people of same age as her sleeping on the terrace in a winter season,that's why the majors will hold up their hands, and get outside to live on their own, still not forgetting about their Maria and the relationship between them.
" Don't worry my child, Jesus will be always beside you at every step you take because you are his favorite devotee, aren't you? " asked Maria and looked up at her eyes, holding her chin.
Khushi nodded her head, smiling at her Maria, as tears made its way down her cheek, finally.
Khushi went to warden room, took her bags and came outside.
A New Journey is awaiting her.
A New set of people are awaiting her.
The new phase of her life will challenge her, lose or win, it's in her hands or in the hands of destiny, someone have to wait.
" Go Khushi, new life is awaiting you, " Maria told as the time for initiating her new journey started picking up its pace.
" I Love you," a voice can be heard as a reply from Khushi's side, as her lips curved up, and her hands made some movements to indicate the same.
Haaye Allaah, Give me enough strength to fight challenges.
Khushi Ahmed Khan is ready to challenge the hurdles that come her way, as enough strength started flowing through her veins.
