"aap kis ke saath aayi ho?"(with whom did you came here?) she asked with a concern on her face 

"meri mom aur meri aunt"(my mom and my aunt) i replied not bending a single inch of my muscle 

"aur wo aadmi kon tha?" (and who was that man?) she asked cressing my cheeks 

"mere uncle..." (my uncle) 

our conversation was plain and at the edge but atleast comforting, 

"kya hua beta?" (what happend dear?) i got called by a known voice.....my mother 

"kuch nahi bad woh apna raasta bhul gayi thi--" (nothing she just lost her way) the doctor immediately covered up the situation,making me stand by taking my hands in hers 

i was shocked hearing the words of betrayal from her mouth,i light in my eyes when i first saw her was gone....it was replaced by disbelieve.

was i a fucking child to simply get lost in the hospital??

"nashwa..chalo ab jaana hai humko ghar waapis" (nashwa..we need to go home now) my mother stated leading her one hand towards me, as so i responded by holding it but my eyes were still fixed on the nurse...she betrayed me hard 

what a pretty face with an ugly mind.

i thought ,as me and my mother left the place,supposing it, i totally had the courage to tell the pretty doctor everything but....how can i tell my mother about it, set aside how can i even tell ANYONE about this. 

we got out of the hospital took a taxi and went home....and all that time i didnt had the courage to even look into anyones eyes.....my head was down the whole ride, like a simple body that have lost its soul,prehaps it did 

as soon as i went home i sprinted towards my room, closing it fast as possible and landed on my bed...

i needed some time to clam myself, and cried my heart out making my eyes red and swollen, to the point where i looked like an orge ...my lips were pale and so my skin 

after taking the courage todo so i went to the restroom washed my face and went down to eat dinner....with my aunt, my mother and finally......my uncle 

i didnt cared ,i didn't wanted to look into anyones eyes i have made that deicision and thats final...atleast for now 

i slowly went down stairs to find them already sitting at the table, waiting for me 

"nashwa...idhar aao beta..mene icecream laya hai aap sabke liye" (nashwa...come here dear..i have bought icecreams for all of you) he stated with that roughness in his voice 

i immediately looked up straight at his face litrerally looking around for defence breaking the whatever decision i have made with myself 

and then my eyes caught a glimpse of him looking at me with his side view....it all reminded me of the incident which i wanted to forget making my legs tremble and moving a step backward 

"nashwa...ab aao bhi..kya hua?" (nashwa...now come already...what happend) my mother asked setting up a plate full of food near is seat 

"mujhe bhook nahi hai" (i am not hungry) i stated and again went running towards my room not knowing my aunt followed me 

i went inside and shut the door and sat at the corner of my bed in half darkness, not a minute went past and i heard someone slowly opening the door making a crooked sound 

it was my aunt....be fr 

"nashwa...ek minute hai meri jaan?" (nashwa...do you have a minute my dear?) she asked with an innocent smile....atleast she didnt faked it 

she was carrying 2 plates with food....to eat with me 

"woh naam se mat bulaao mujhe"(dont call me by that name) i stated in a strict tone 

"woah...tumhe ye naam acha nahi lagta?" (woah you dont like this name) she spoke in a gentle voice slowing making herslef sit beside me 

dont like?? no i hated it. but i simply remained silent at her words as she placed a plate infront of me

"acha...kyu ki wo naam kabhi kabaar tumhare uncle bulaate hai issi liye?"(ok...because your uncle calls you by that name sometimes)

i still reamined sitent......if i am being honest i actually hated 'nicknames' cause i never really got one from anyone except for the one which i hated the most 

"kya hua..bas ye bataado mujhe" (what happend...just tell me)

"pehle khud ko aur apne bache ko sambhal lo phir mujhe sambhal ne aana" (first handle you and your child then come to handle me) i said and its me whos not looking into her eyes this time. i have had enough of this bullshit, i complained to myself as i tossed a spoon in my mouth...obviously stating that i was hungry 

then with nothing else to say she came closer to me pulling me into a hug.....i took it despite being angry at her cause...i needed it 

this coud'nt get more emotional so my aunt suddenly started to tickle me up and down making me laugh loudly 

"stop stop stop!!..saara khaana abhi gir jaayega!" (the food will fall down in a second!)  i laughed it tears 

"acha..mere saath rahoge 2 din" (will you live with me for 2days) she said removing her hads 

"haan...uss ke baad meri graduation hai"(yes after this i'll have my graduation)

"aur?"(and..?)

"aur phir mai abroad chali jaaongi"(and then i'll leave for abroad) thinking of relieved my heart....thankfully i will leave all this thoughts behind 

"mujhe chor ke?" (leaving me?) she questioned narrowing her eyes and pouting her lips like a child 

"haa...aap yahan par raho aapke bache ke saath"(yes you stay here with your child)

we bagan to chat while we stuff food in our mouth eating like we never knew what food was
