2. make known to the unknown...

'unknowingly stepping into a boundless unprecedented chapter'...'way to the unknown'...

After she exit the door, she came out knowing that her surrounding is completely disparate...

Further stepping forward, she is able to take 'a quick glance' of her room which revealed itself like an out-house just few steps away from the main house...even the main house itself is not that enormous.

Facing herself to the lady who is leaning her one shoulder against the door... unpleasantly piercing her from the start...she stood in silence in front of her.

"Iris violet!...now if you are fully awake?...why don't you do your usual"...(striking voice)

Standing still there, all confused "she don't resemble to anyone that I know" she thought to herself.

Having moment of pause in her thoughts..."or maybe she saved me?" "But why her voice is demanding over me?"

Her innumerable thoughts come to an end, when she heard yelling... pointed a finger to her face "are you still delusional?" "How many times I have to tell you that you're not a child anymore".

Staring blankly..."do I know her" and "why is she shouting at me" she again thought to herself.

"Iris violet!" "You should not act ignorant when elder speaks and especially not in front of me...never!" " Do you get it?"

"Nodding silently"...

Throwing a overlong list of chores to do...She followed this lady 'out of habbit' entering into the house to the living room, where she met more unrecognisable people...who somewhat unknowingly transmitting feeling of affinity...

'A very young boy, who maybe is in his teenage years... sitting comfortably in a couch completely focused on his phone'... 'glancing at his right a mid-aged man is seated reading a newspaper'.

Not giving much attention without seeking out of newspaper..."what is this all quarell about dear?"...

"Iris woke up"... She said hesitly.

"Oh"... (Pause... realising what she said...)

"W-what?"...

Finally noticing a girl standing near his wife...he stood there holding his glasses...with gleaming face "thank goodness... you're alright iris"...

Their reaction was priceless...cause while one is busy thanking God other one sprinted toward her in a speed of flash...

"O-oh my...y-you're fine Vixen!" young boy exclaimed... almost bumping into her.

Still fumbling over his words... "I told you to not to take anymore stress but you never listen to me"... He said... touching her forehead checking heat with back of his hand."and your glucose drip?... where did you throw that?"...

"Will you stop Thayem" "she is completely awake and in good shape...you don't have to worry about her"... And "most importantly she has things to do"... Woman said abruptly.

Standing near kitchen door...that lady shouted annoyingly."why are you still glewed to that position like a statue"..."do you think you have less work to do?"

"But mother,...she just got her concious back...this is unfair... Thayem said.

"Son don't try to teach me...she got her concious back two days ago and just like i told you she'll be fine... doing work is good for your health...yk"...

"But still Cristine...she just...(impatiently trying to convince her)...

"Oh did you said anything?"...(cutting him midway) she said.

'Sudden shift of ominous visual of her wife made him retreat from further saying'.

"N-no dear...nah I was just sayin...

"Then its decided...like usual every household work should've been done before dawn !"

Everyone stood there in silence...this house is definitely in control of this forecious woman. And infront of her no-one dare to say anything.

"And!... violet why are you standing here, guess I didn't give you enough work to do...

"All you do is wasting your time in those books like a bookworm...'eating them everytime'... it'll not take you anywhere...here only 'wealth and riches' have influence and are only talks about everyone's intrest" .

"Don't blind your eyes assuming that we're some inherited shroff or heirs of fortune itself... And we are not providing fund to feed those who are not even 'blood related' to us...and you should be grateful that we are still tolerating you in our house"...

Staring blankly...iris violet didn't catch quite of it...she is unable to get along with them...who are set by set throwing information on her, unable to understand and recognise those faces around her she stood 'silent and confused' there.

"Not blood related...they say...(chuckling)...hmh... My mind will explode any time...with all this confusion...but why I'm even listening to them...why it feels this is usually what happens everyday... experiencing totally different scenario why it feels I do belong here...she thought to herself in uttar confusion.

"Did I said something wrong?...iris?...

Iris hit the reality when she heard her calling her name.

"A-ah...that no... She uttered slowly.

Somewhat, tilting her head she started marching to the door in thinking to go out to the laundry room out of habbit...untill...

"Yes mom... you're saying right"...

Trying to get glance at owner of this voice...

Making clicking sound a girl in her adolescence years, styling herself in a short white dress and in stilleto heels, flipping her hair...walking down the stairs.

..."infect she should be thankful to us for our kindness that we accepted her and gave her a roof to live in"...the girl said deliberately.

While looking at that girl...(questionable face)... "They definitely not look poverty stricken or miserable at all" - iris thought to herself.

"Oh...my dear princess you shouldn't make effort to wake up this early!... you need proper beauty sleep...yk"...- shifting her gaze toward her daughter...- Cristine said lovingly.

"I know mom...but today is a special day... I'm going on a date with a handsome buisness man's rich son...(wide smirk)... Girl said proudly.

"and I don't wanna ruin it quarreling here in useless conversation"...

"Aww...my princess, you're right...yk... you're gifted my dear...(tapping her back)...and you should convince him to marry you"...

"I'm not present here" - Thayem whispered.

"Me neither" - his dad said.

"I know mom...I can marry anyone...who don't wanna get stuck with preety girls...and rich men always are wipped for preety girls...she said in excitement.

Appearing to be attentive in this situation, in the distance iris is surprisingly watching them, thinking "aren't they doing too much of their mallow drama"...but still there is love for her daughter in her mother's eyes"... t-that she never felt...

Feeling coldness on her cheeks because of falling tears...she looks like an abandoned child who is harshly thrown in despicable situation..."m-mumma...where are you...my f-family"...- uncouncioncly iris said, grabbing everyone's attention.

Everyone shifted their gaze to see crying iris sobbing catching her breath.

"What are you blabbering about?...how many times I have to tell you that you don't have a family.. (Cristine's angry expression made her more forecious)..."and to make us suffer, don't know why those old hedge left you here with us!..

"Dear you should not dig up old feuds. And about sending iris here, mother believed that we can take care of iris more than her anticipation". "And you know how reliable and self -sufficient iris is".

"After successfully passing her entrance exam there will be no expenses of her studies also".- Mr. Adam said patiently.

Changing her expression into disgusted one "how come you so confident about her passing the toughest entrance exam". - Cristine said annoyingly.

"Cause I believe in her".- mr.adam said stern on his words.

"Xxx University is one of the best in this country and only affluent people whose 'watches are made up of gold' are able to allow themselves to welcome their. - Cristine said while taunting.

" And look at my dear angel...she herself was unable to succeed"...

" Maybe that is because of her unimaginable brilliant mind"... "University itself is not on the same extent as her"...- Mr.Adam said sarcastically.

"Daadd...(offended)... I'm not dumb"...- faith uttered while whinning.

" of course i didn't said that"!...(raising his guard)...- Mr. Adam claimed cautiously.

Finally coming out of his ruminate thoughts... Thayem claimed profoundly... " I also do believe "... "Father is right"...

"Are you saying that I'm dumb"?...- faith said fiercely.

"N-no...not that. I'm saying I'm confident about iris" "and considering her past academic records, she...she is excellent in everything"...(remembering past memories of iris when she was eagerly studying all night 'working her finger to the bone' for her entrance) and I'm sure, her hard work will pay off.

"Enough! stop bickering...this useless conversation will not led us anywhere...here, talk of interest is that, this week we will know, when result will be announced and invariable truth will come to an end". "And if she will unable to succeed, I'll send her back to khanom to live with those oldies"...

Till now iris is standing focusing on their conversation trying to lay it in align. But now she is getting more confused knitting herself into never-ending jumble of thread. Perhaps it's because oh her vivid memories that she is trying to remember or maybe this whole new scenario in which she is feeling unknown to everything. At this point her hands are trembling, body felt week that can collapse at any time, limitless anxiety rising due to uncontrollable situation in front of her...right now she only needs a little comfort where she can cry her heart out...

and first thought came to her mind, "wouldn't it have been better if I died at that same spot...why I'm alive"....

Unconciously receding to the door, she moved, stumbling little by little in haze...

"Where do you think you're going"?...you...ah... "Iris stop right there"!... - Cristine threatened her.

But for iris... it's the final point of extremity and her only unpreventable thought is chocking her...

still in her chaos and confused mind,with raged thoughts she rushed toward the exit door....
