Ahana's POV

I was sitting down on the couch folding my arms around my chest. Gurumaa looked at me and asked, "what happened?"

I looked up at her and informed her the matter. Gurumaa smiled and said "this is just the beginning Ahana.. You have to deal with it calmly"

I nodded in yes, I looked at Manvi who was playing with a teenage transgender girl. Manvi's doll hand got torn, she came running to me and said "Mumma it got torn" making a sad face.

I took the doll from her hand, I replied "I will get you the new one"

Manvi denied "no this is my special doll fix this," she said making a face.

I went into the room and fixed the arm of the doll by sewing it. Manvi was standing in front of me the whole time.

She held the doll and chuckled "yaay"

She then climbed on the bed and hugged me tightly by wrapping her arms around her neck. "You are the best Mumma you can fix anything" she spoke.

I patted her head and said "but you are not best daughter"

She looked at me in confusion. She asked innocently "what did I do?"

Manvi looked at me, I glanced at her and said "I am sending you to school but make excuses and become my bad daughter"

She made faces and ran out without listening to me. I sighed, why it is so difficult to explain to her.

Two days passed, Manvi's partner was out with other trangender ladies for occasions and she was getting bored. She sat down on the stairs and made faces "everyone is busy nobody plays with mannu" she said.

I smiled and said "because everyone works hard for the money they are good, not bad like mannu who don't want to go to school"

Manvi frowned and said "you are scolding mannu"

I gave her a look of "yes.." with a smile.

She ran into the room and lay down on bed. I followed her, she was very thoughtful. I sat down beside her and said "school is essential mannu...if won't go to school then everyone will say I am a bad mother."

Manvi denied and hugged me "no... " then she held her ears and said "mannu is sorry.. Tomorrow she will go to school"

I eyed her and asked "promise?"

Manvi nodded in yes "promise"

"Mannu is going to be the best daughter," she said while kissing my cheeks and I smiled. Finally, I managed to convince her.

The next day, I woke up and looked at the time it was 6.30 am. I sighed, this girl had messed up the room last night. All her toys were scattered all over the place, she was so clumsy. I arranged the things properly and murmured "half of the time I had to arrange the room.. Shaitaan ladki"

After setting the things, I sat down on the bed and removed the blanket from her face "mannu wake up.. It's time for school"

Like, as usual, her drama starts and she turns away covering herself with a blanket again.

"Please wake up.." I pulled her closer to myself but she was stubborn.

"You too sleep with me" she murmured. I sighed, I had last option left now and I started tickling her.

She giggled and shouted "no.. mumma cheating cheating"

I smiled "no this is my last option to wake you up.. To the bathroom now" I ordered her.

She sat up straight and crossed her arms around the chest "Hitler mumma"

"Whatever.. Go to the bathroom" I said strictly.

She jumped off the bed and fell down injuring her foot "aah" she said in pain.

I bent to her and touched "mannu what is this? Why are you so careless??" I said in concern and heard her giggle sound.

I gave her a look, she acted to get injured "you.."

She ran into the bathroom, I went inside and she held the mug in her hand.  She threw the water towards me. I sighed and made her bath.

After making her ready, I took a bath and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Sneha stopped me with "first let me make..."

"We will get late for school," I replied.

"It's not my problem," she said rudely. I sighed.. There is no point in arguing with her, they will never understand my situation and my love for Manvi. I have to tolerate some of my people's bitterness.

Neha came to me and gave me her breakfast "Give this to Manvi, I will eat later"

I thanked her and went out. Manvi was dancing on the music, I called her "mannu breakfast"

She came to me and opened her mouth, asking me to feed her. She took the bite and again started to dance. I smiled and adored her.

After 15 minutes, we went to school. I gave instructions to Manvi "if someone says anything just complain okay.."

Manvi agreed "okay mumma"

I ruffled her hair and she ran to her classroom. She entered inside and sat beside her old friend who pushed her.

"Trangender's child (kinnar ki beti)" the girl taunted her.

Manvi fumed in anger, she went behind and sat on the separate bench. 

She remembered her mother's words and concentrated on studies. She knows her mother is special, she ignored what her friend said.

During the break time, she sat down beside her friend. She threw away her lunchbox and shouted "I won't eat with you.. You are not like us"

Manvi frowned and pushed her back. She left there and came to the park of the school. She sat on the swing and started swinging.

The same girl came and said "You pushed me.. Now see what I will do"

She pushed Manvi hard and Manvi dropped down from the swing her head hit the floor. It started to bleed and she screamed "Mumma"

Suddenly I felt a jerk in my body, I stopped my dancing class and rushed towards Manvi. I searched for her in the canteen but she was nowhere to be found.

I thought she might be at the playground I rushed and was left stunned seeing the scenario in front of me. I screamed "Mannu"
