Her dreams were mostly about miracles where her uncle would allow her to go to school and meet her friends. But when she would wake up to bright sunny day , her dreams would be washed by sunlight. Her days would be spent on mundane work at home- washing clothing , dusting and cleaning the house and then preparing the three meals in a day.
Life had become routine. Adventures and hopes of exploring the world was lost. Time passed slowly , making the pain unbearable. She had come to accept he fate. However destiny had some other plans for her.
She walked to the market with her cousin as her body guard. He was ten years old with mind of genius. He never let her go out of his sight for one minute. She purchased the necessary groceries except one last thing- sweet corn. Her mother had planned to prepare a side digs with sweet corn as the main ingredient.
As she looked for the corn, she lost her tiny brother in the crowd. It was Friday and the prayer hours was almost over. People had started crowding the market , making her impossible to walk with her cousin. She had forgotten about him when she bought the corn at the price she had bargained for. When she turned to see her brother, she saw Abhinav towering her.
He was indeed tall - a feature she was oblivious. She became very concious at his presence next to her. Her heart jumped out and for a second she thought she had got a heart attack. She wanted to run away and never see him again. But her feet refused to let her leave.
He looked at her with delight. " Hi! I heard you left school. I... Well! Is everything okay?", he asked with geninue concern. She misunderstood geninue to saracasm. "Everything is not okay! Because of you, I have lost my hopes and dreams! I wish I didn't see you at all.", she said with all the anger. He simply heard with broken heart.
