Chapter 10

It has been three hours since Khushi waiting outside of the operation room praying for her grandmother's life..

Being tried she sat on a bench when her first meeting with her grandmother started floating in front of her...

15 Years Back

A little 7 years old Khushi was cleaning the orphanage's garden when the warden entered the garden and started shouting," You foolish ugly girl how much time you will take to clean a garden? Don't you know there is a party here you burden"

The little Khushi looked at her with teary eyes and speak up innocently, " I finished cleaning it Mam but someone again throws dust middle of the garden so I am cleaning it again"

"So what? They are kids so they must be did it unintentionally. And you burden instead of blaming others do your duty" Saying this the warden went away leaving a broken little soul behind...

Tears rolled down on Khushi's cheeks but she kept cleaning the garden because if she doesn't the warden will punish her...

After cleaning Khushi went to kitchen to get her food. She is not allowed to eat with others children. They said Khushi has infection. If they get close to her they will get sick too..

Khushi stand at the door of the kitchen as she doesn't allowed to enter the kitchen. The warden saw her and again shouted at her," What are you doing here?"

"Work is finished Mam. Please give my breakfast now. I am hungry" Khushi requested them innocently..

The warden looked at her angrily and throw a packet before her..

Khushi took the packet happily and entered her little room. It is not a room actually it is a deserted storeroom of the orphanage. They kept Khushi here because they thought Khushi doesn't deserve a normal room...

Khushi sat on her mat and opened the packet but her eyes filled up with tears when she saw a half bread and a piece of banana in the packet. She understood they again gave her the leftovers food.

But it is normal for Khushi. She hardly get normal food. They always gave her the leftovers and sometimes only water..

Even last night Khushi only got water so feeling hungry she about to eat the so-called food when some orphanage's children entered her room and start laughing looking at her food..

"Look, look the dog meal girl is eating the the food we left for dogs. Means dog meal is eating the dogs meal" They said and went out while laughing..

Khushi started crying hearing the word dog meal. All orphanage's kids including the all people of the orphanage used to call her dog meal. First she used to think that dog meal is her name but later she got to know why they call her by this name...

Wiping her tears Khushi eat the food and went towards the washroom. Now she has to wash every person's clothes...

At afternoon

Khushi completed her work and went her room. Being so tried she fall on the mat..

Laying on the mat she could hear that every children are playing outside they are making noise. They maybe about to eat their lunch but Khushi has to wait for their leftovers..

With so difficulties Khushi stand up and went to her washroom for taking a shower..

After taking shower she was wiping her body when her eyes fall on her belly. Her belly cover with scars the beating scars. Khushi move her eyes towards her hand where is also saw scars but when her eyes fall on her leg her eyes fill up with tears sawing the bite mark. The dog bite mark..

Being scared she dressed up quickly. And come out from washroom. Sitting on her mat she start sobbing...

But soon Khushi went quite when she heard a knock at her door. Being scared of looked up at door when a woman entered her room..

Khushi got scared sawing a stranger when the woman speak up, " Why are you crying baby? What happened? Are you hurt?"

Hearing the sweet word in her first time Khushi stand up and ran towards the woman then hugged her tightly..

The woman got startled and she got down on her knees to match with Khushi's leave. Cupping her cheeks the woman again speak up, " Why are you crying baby?"

Before Khushi say something the warden entered the room and speak up, " Sorry Mam if the burden disturbed you. And you ugly girl leave her. You will make her cloth dirty"

Hearing this Khushi about to remove her hands from the lady's arm but the lady hold her hand and speak up looking at the warden," May I know why you are being rude with the innocent girl? And why is inside in this deserted room crying when all children are eating and playing outside?"

"Mam the girl is bad shadow. A government hospital forcefully left her here. We don't have any facilities for her so she inside" The warden told and the lady's eyes went widened...

"Just because a government hospital left her here you can't behave with her like this. And you let her stay in this deserted room. Look at the wall. It's like the wall can break any time. This room is dangerous" The lady speak up..

"That's why we left her here to get rid of her. Let the wall break we will get rid with her too then. And if you have so much sympathy towards her then you can take this burden with you we have no problem" Saying this the warden left the room..

The lady looked at Khushi and speak up, "  What is your name dear?"

"Khushi" Khushi replied..

"Will you come with me Khushi?" The lady again asked...

Being so happy Khushi nodded her head...

Khushi's thought broke when the operation room opened and a doctor come out..

"Doctor what happened? My grandmother is okay, right?" Khushi asked the doctor...

"I am sorry miss. We couldn't saved her" The doctor replied...

And Khushi fell on her knees. Suddenly her world got dark...
