1 First Memory

The first memory she had of herself, was of her childhood, when she was drawing a scenery for her drawing exam. It was at that time, when her mother Janice came to her class. She was talking to her teacher regarding something. Amiliya was at 1st grade at that time. Her teacher, called her aside and said, "Amiliya you really have a good talent, keep it up". She came outside her class in the middle of the exam, after that all she could remember at that time was, her mother taking her to their home. Afterwards they were traveling to somewhere, when she asked her mom where are they going with all the luggage's. She remembers, that her mother lifting her up gently to her lap and saying, "As you know you are going to have a baby sister ,we, your mom and dad has decided to leave this place forever and moving to your grandmother's house in another city".

Little amiliya couldn't process what was going on. It was like a bombshell dropped on her. The next thing she remembers the Train Ride, the scenery was beautiful. It takes around 3 Days to reach their native Place. It consisted of lots Trees, mountains and even Tunnels. Most of the Time Amiliya looked outside enjoying the view. The co-passengers where in Awe of her, told her stories. One of the passengers in her coach, even gifted her a drawing Book, as he was an artist. Amiliya smiled at him, and thanked him politely for the Gift. She Politely asked her mom, if she could take the Book. When her mom nodded yes, she squealed with Delight and took her Crayons from her backpack. Her parents had already done the packing and loading their luggage to the new place they were going. The person who gave her the book, said to her parents that, "She is so well behaved for her age", to which her parents Replied, " Yes, she is indeed polite. We Hear that a Lot" and smiled proudly.

When she reached the house, it was one of the best houses she had ever seen. A beautiful garden was there while entering and the house had green marbles. Moving from a city to a countryside, although it was a change of environment, the villa was breathtakingly beautiful. It had so many spaces where she could freely run around and play. Although amiliya was little sad to leave behind her friends, she loved this place, as it had lots of natural surroundings, which she liked so much. It took little time for her family to settle in. It wasn't easy for her parents to leave everything behind their back and shift to their hometown. The friends they had, amilya's school, their house everything. Amiliya couldn't even say goodbye to her friends in school and in her building. It was vanishing from there. The next day after their lunch, her mom took her hands and said to her "mom and dad will be going somewhere and will take some days to come back, we will have to leave you behind for a few days". Hearing this little amiliya started to cry.

She looked lovely in that purple dress. Purple was her favourite colour. Her hair falling down till her waist and that curly side hairs looked lovely on her. She looked like a little doll, all dolled up, by her mom. Even if she cries everyone's heart will melt, no one liked her to see hurt. Although she was just 6 years old, she was sensitive, kind and polite. Seeing her crying, her mom could not help but smile and told her that, "when we come back, there will be a special gift for you. If everything is alright then grandma will drop you to where we are going". She nodded and stopped crying, and fell asleep on her mother's lap. Her mom Janice gently kissed her on her forehead and put her to bed. Next day when amiliya woke up her parents were already gone, she got up, went to the dining room, had her breakfast with grandma aliya and went to play. The garden attached to her house has already become her favourite place to play. The garden was surrounded with pretty flowers all over, and even at their Fence. The Fence was newly Built, with whitewash, the pink flowers, already building around it, as they were coming to stay there. Her parents even planned to add a swing for her play.

Amiliya likes to talk to plants and watching them was her favourite past time. She observed them carefully with her big Black eyes, and watching the butterfly flying over here and there. Suddenly there was a gush of wind and she saw a shadow appearing. She got scared and ran to her grandma at house. When she said to her grandma that she saw some shadow her grandmother laughed it off saying she might have seen some trees shadow and got scared. She insisted on it and brought her outside. But there was no one over there. see I told there was no one over here, she scooted down to the floor, she said to her that, " if you behave nicely then I will take you to where your parents are". Amiliya put on her best smile and said I won't cause trouble and will listen. For the rest of the Day, to not cause any more trouble to her grandma, amiliya stayed in her Bedroom, drew in her drawing book, had some dinner and fell asleep.

It was unusually colder that Day. Amiliya never felt that cold as she had a warm temperature. In the middle of the night, she felt like someone was waking her up from her sleep, by tapping on her shoulder and suddenly her blanket was being pulled. As she was in deep sleep, she just covered herself and slept, with no recollection of what happened after that. Unknown to her what was going to happen in the future.
