2 Chapter-2

Third person's Pov:

" Leave her you bastard...I swear I am going to kill you if anything happens to her" said the man ."Please leave her what has the poor soul done to you... Please let her go". Said the women.

It was a dark room. There was a person whose face was covered with a black scarf. And there were some local goons who were mercilessly assaulting the poor girl. Of course, what a 9-year-old girl can do instead of bearing the pain. There were two men in which one was her father and two women in which one was her mother.

"Mumma, Mumma ...". " No, Please stop.... don't beat her...". The women kept on begging the goons to stop. " Now will you tell me where it is or should I kill the poor baby." Asked the person in a scarf." Can't you understand we don't know what and where it is ... You came near the wrong person..". Told the man. " Oh, really then how do you people know them. I always knew that it was her but I stayed quiet to confirm my suspicion." The person said pointing towards the little girl." But fine now anyways you are not going to tell me, then it's time ". The person took the knife and went near the girl's parents. The girl who was losing her consciousness was watching the person who was killing her parents. The killer left their bodies in the same room and left the place. The person took the other man and woman with them. The girl saw her mother die.





(Something like that)

The girl was crying all the time." Baby Mumma and pappa are leaving you, stay strong, you know the reason why all this happened, now (a cough)... the..that w..we are leaving...you have to fight y...yo..your own battle ... Your darling will be waiting..for you..she will take care of you now... stay happy...

" No, no... Please don't leave me, No!!...No!!!!! ". Anu screamed. She sat up on her bed. She was sweating really badly. This was not the first time, it was happening every time she sleeps since the day she lost her parents. And the same happened today as she forgot to take sleeping pills before going to sleep. The dream kept haunting her for 10 years. She sighed as tears started rolling on her cheek, she tried to sleep as she wiped those tears away but couldn't.

__________________________________Anu's pov :

I was trying hard to sleep but couldn't. I can't even take sleeping pills now as it's already 3:00 in the morning and if I'll have them now, I won't be able to get up in two hours and I'll be late for college.

I am 19 years old and I am staying in the college hostel. I grew up in an orphanage as my parents family denied for taking care of me. There are unknown secrets about me but I couldn't tell anyone about it for a reason.

I stay in the college hostel with my best friend and soul sister Preeti. We got to know each other in the orphanage. Her mother Haritha was my caretaker in the orphanage. From then we grew up together. Haritha aunty lives in Ayesha mam's house looking after her daughter Kriti. Ayesha mam is a fashion designer and she owns the university in which we are studying and acquiring our degree in fashion designing. Though I and Preeti have a scholarship, it was hard for us to get into this college as only rich people could afford the expenses here but Ayesha mam helped us to get into this college. Every day I go to college and after college, I and Preeti work in Ramu chachu's (uncle )library as part-time. Then we come back to the hostel. On Fridays and Sundays, I go to the temple to teach music to children. Haritha aunty teaches children music and I help her. That's how I spend my time.

Preeti is my best friend. It's hard to believe that she can't talk. She's so kind-hearted. If it isn't her I would have been spending my life alone though it isn't like that. We share everything with each other. Though she knows apart of my past, she doesn't know my true identity. She lost her voice when she saw her father died in a bomb blast. On that day Preeti was with her father enjoying shopping in the mall. Her father and she came out of the mall after having fun. Then he told her that he forgot something inside the mall. He was going inside and then there was a bomb blast. Everything happened so fast and the next moment she saw her father dead. She didn't get hurt as she was a bit away from the spot. On that day she lost her voice. She's a year older than me but she took a year off from her studies due to depression. And now we both are in the same year of University.

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

I got out of my thoughts when Preeti started patting my shoulder to get up. She gestured me showing that if we won't start getting ready then we would be late. I smiled and nodded my head. I started getting ready. I did my morning chores and got ready in my uniform

My university is only for girls and Ayesha mam is very adamant about our appearance. She wants us to look civilized and united.
