~Past Scenario~

I tossed in my bed turning off alarming clock... why sunrise so early I m feeling just now I slept and waking up next moment... I stood up stretching my hands yawing... I heard some noises coming from downstairs... I walked lazily out of my room standing in corridor I saw down...

My mom sitting with a lady I can't see her face from here and that lady is sobbing badly my mom trying to console her... another side of that lady sat a man may be her husband and two boys... dad is standing before them just staring at all of them...

I don't know what is happening in my home so early in morning... I simply ignore this all and walked back to my room to get ready for my school...I locked the door behind and went in washroom to take a quick shower...
After bath I came out in wearing towel and took my school uniform from wardrobe... I quickly wear it then dried my hair... I tied my hair in ponytail and took a glance at myself in mirror...

"Ahhh!! most boring task to set bag according to time table..."

I spoke to myself lazily pulling my bag from one corner I place it on bed taking out books whose lectures are not today... I tossed all those books in my shelf and took the books as per timetable... completing my task I sighed... I wear my school shoes nd pulled my bag making my out of room walking downstair...

As I was stepping down looked at everyone sitting in same way in living room i don't knw what serious discussion is going on...

My tummy growled signaling me to eat something... I turn left from step walking in my big kitchen... I put bag down opening refrigerator I poured milk in my fav mug which has my pic on it... then I walk near to cupboard taking bottle of chocolaty bournvita... I added it in my milk and put the mug in microwave setting timer on 1 min... I tapped my finger on platform waiting for end beep...

"madhu beta bring water..."

Mom ordered me I whimper I don't like disturbance in my daily routine... why they all have to visit us in early morning...

I took glasses pouring water in all and placed them in serving tray making my way out... when I walk near them and offered water to aunty... she luked up at me  then I recognized her she is radha aunty mom's best friend and cousin sis too... she smiled little looking at me nd I reciprocated her... her face looks pale... fresh tears in her eyes glistening... I walk further giving water to uncle then to their children...

From which one is very young I think same age of meera my little sis... and second one I do knw him and his name I thought for a moment then remembered mom always called him rishu... he is elder than me may be 1 or 2 year...they both took water
Rishu didn't looked up just drank water and placed glass back on tray...

I walked back into kitchen now tensed what is wrong with them... why they all look sad and why aunty is crying?? I think there is some major problem...when I was coming back to kitchen saw their luggage spread on floor means is they all going to stay here...

I sighed taking a deep breath there are so many questions running in my mind and I want answers for them but right now I m getting late for my school so will ask mom everything after coming back...I drank my milk and started for my school...

Mom told me

"madhu take care while crossing road beta..."

I just nodded my head... it's mom's daily dialogue to me because she knows how bad I m in doing so...I walked out from house welcoming a sun shining morning... birds chirruping in garden...

I crossed the road carefully and stood there waiting for my friend bella...
We do this daily sometime she comes early and stand here waiting for me or vice-versa ... our school is very nearby means after two street so we go by walking only...after sometime I saw her coming along with her little sis she too study in same school with us...
I greeted them

"good mornind bella!! Good morning krsytal!!"

Both smiled at me replying

"Good morning madhu..."

Said bella
"good morning madhu di"

Said krystal

Then we all started chit chatting... bella and krystal are christian as per name say... bella is somewhat tall from me having long straight hair and mine are curly brown... krsytal is her replica... after 10 mins we reached our school... I and bella bid gud bye to krystal as she went off in her class... she in 6th class... and we both enterd our class means 9th class...

Ma'am came in class and loud noise from boys side ceased... we all stood up  greeting her singing  in chorus

"good morning ma'am !!!"

She smiled showing hand to sit... we settled in our sit... I sat with bella coz she is the only girl in my class and rest are boys strange na but its fact...

Lec after lec passed in lunch we three ate together and did some masti by teasing others... then remaining lectures also passed... we left from school all tired... sometime later bella and krysty also bid gud bye to me nd I came near roadside taking deep breath...

Most tough task of each day of my life to cross road... in morning its not difficult as there is no rush but at noon I have to stand for 15 mins to do it... actually I m very bad in crossing road my lack of talent... I cross road when I can't see vehicles upto two meters distance... to my luck road got empty for a while so I rush crossing to other side giving victory smile to myself...

I throwed my bag on floor jumping on sofa in living room... resting for moment I remembered incident of morning... I looked aroud but found no one no luggage and nothing... I went in mom's room thank god  I found her here only otherwise I have to search in this huge mansion peeping in every room up nd down...

I saw her placing clothes in wardrobe... she turned back looking at me smiling she asked

"madhu when you came back from school??"

"just now mom..."

"so go freshen up and pls change your dress first as today I m not in a mood to repeat it again nd again..."

I just nodded setting on bed... she looks tense and tired... I asked her while removing my tie...

"did radha aunty left from here??? And why she was crying mom??"

"beta she is here only and will be staying in our home for sometime..."

Mom replied sitting beside me I gave her questioning look and she got it speaking further she said

"beta they are going from tough time... mohan uncle's brother cheated on them and claimed their property also their home... they are homeless beta... that's why she was crying... I can't imagine how cruel people are his own brother did this..."

Tears brimmed in her eyes... I really felt bad for them I brushed off tears from her cheek saying

"don't cry mom I can't see tears in your eyes...everything will be ok soon... we will support them with all our love and affection..." 

I know for mom what radha aunty means... they both are distance cousin but very close to each other... radha aunty was living in village in Nagpur she also come to visit us in vacation time... last time she was here when I was 10... I remember those days which I spent with her... she is very kind and calm by nature and love me like her daughter as she don't have a girl... at that time she visited us alone not uncle and not rishu came here...

I thought how cruel her brother in law is done such sin snatched everything from them and also made them homeless so disgusting...
