2 Years Later

Ahana's POV

Another two years passed, Manvi was finally graduating from school with distinction. The result was affected because of the mental torture she had to bear from her friends for years but I was still proud of her.

She had turned 18 and completed her 12th, now she will be going to college. A new place and a change will bring some peace in her mind as she wouldn't have to bear any tantrums or none will say she is the daughter of a transgender.

Everyone at the home celebrated her graduation from school. Gurumaa kissed her and gave her a present.

Manvi opened it and was elated to see the teddy bear. She hugged her "thank you Nani"

"Proud of you my child.." Gurumaa said, giving her blessings.

She came and hugged me tightly "love you mumma..." I smeared her head.

"I also love you.." I replied. She gave me her certificate and I admired it.

The name written on it was "Manvi Ahana..." I caressed it. Motherhood is indeed a special part of life. All these precious memories, God chose me as her mother, it was a blessing for me.

Manvi demanded "mumma.. Now please get a new laptop for college."

I questioned her "laptop??"

"Yes.. it is very useful and I will search for some good colleges" She took her phone and began to search.

The college expenses will be even more than the school but I have to manage somehow. I won't let the world give a single chance to taunt her.

She showed me the college she was interested in admission for. I glanced at the pictures, it seemed to be an expensive one. I questioned her "where it is?"

"Mumma it's India's no.1 institute in the city.. Around 50 lakh is the course fee" she said.

I got tensed hearing the amount, this is a huge amount for me. I won't be able to afford it. The school gave me compensation because I was a member of the school.

Manvi looked at me and asked "mumma?? Are you okay?"

I shook my head in yes "yes.. You get the college admission form ready I will arrange the money"

Manvi smiled and hugged me tightly "you are the best mumma! Then let's go get the laptop first"

I agreed, I went to the room and took out the cash from the wardrobe. It was around 30 thousand, I assumed it would be enough for the laptop.

I moved out, we moved to the nearby Market. Manvi entered the electronic shop and asked "laptop.. Latest best model"

The shop owner showed laptop, Manvi selected one and said "mumma I want this"

I questioned him about the price, he said " 70 thousand" I was just shocked at the price.

"Mannu.. Let's go to another shop" I suggested, Manvi denied like a stubborn kid.

"No mumma this is the best laptop I want this only" she demanded.

How do I explain to her that I don't have this huge amount. I can't afford such an expensive laptop.

"Manvi please understand... we will come tomorrow and get this" I exclaimed but she denied.

"No mumma.. You promised me you will buy a laptop for me" Manvi said, making a face.

"Yea I am denying I will get you a laptop but not today," I said in a bit annoyed tone.

Manvi argued with her "This is unfair mumma.."

The shopkeeper said "hey?? Kinnar aur uski beti.. I allowed you here to enter to buy my product not to argue"

I fumed in anger hearing him, Manvi shouted at him "shut up! We are customers and we have some consumer rights I hope you don't want me to remind you about it"

I smiled, the shopkeeper remained silent. She moved out of the shop, I said "please don't sell this laptop to anyone keep this thirty thousand I will pay remaining"

The shopkeeper agreed, he kept the deposit and gave her the receipt. I moved out and came back home. Manvi was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed around the chest.

I sat beside her and kept my hand on her shoulder. She jerked away "I don't want to talk to you"

"Mannu.. If I say something there will be a reason for it you have to understand" I said in a calm tone.

She had become too stubborn, I promised her to get the laptop by tomorrow. She asked "sure??"

I nodded in yes, she smiled which mattered to me the most. Mishti came and Manvi began to play with her.

I went to the room and called Neha. She picked up the call and I questioned "Neha.. can I get my two months salary in advance?"

"Ahana I can give you one month's advance.." She replied as she has to follow the school policy.

I understood her situation, I sighed.. "Another 20 thousand how will I get it?"

Gurumaa entered the room and kept some amount of money in my hand. I looked at her, she said "Take this"

I denied, but she said "it's okay.. We all are the same but Ahana.. By fulfilling all Manvi's demand you are creating trouble for yourself"

I was confused and asked "what do you mean?"

"We can't afford it, you have to make her understand that! Such an expensive college, how will you get 50 lakhs by selling your kidneys?" she questioned.

"I don't know but all I want is good education for her and prove to the world that we transgenders can become a good parent and give good values to someone" I replied.

"Ahana.. I am having a feeling for whom you are sacrificing so much will disobey you one day and leave you alone" she shared with me.

I denied "this will never happen! I won't give the cruel world such a chance. I will arrange for 50 lakhs" I said in a determined tone.

She has been part of me since the day she was born. How can someone snatch her from me? Never, I had trust in Manvi she wouldn't ever go. She knows our reality and has accepted all of us with her heart.

I had given her values to respect every person. How can she disrespect me? I moved out of the house, went to school to collect my salary and then went to the shop to get the laptop for her.

The shopkeeper gave me a 10 thousand discount seeing my efforts, he smiled and said "respect for you.."

A smile appeared on my face, I happily walked out of the shop with the laptop in my hand. I returned back, Manvi was watching a film.

No, she was busy admiring the actor in it. He was her favourite actor, and she said "Mumma.. I wanna marry him"

I laughed and said "he is already married"

"That's bad.. He missed marrying me the antique piece of the universe" Manvi said dramatically.

I smiled, she noticed the bag in my hand and her eyes glowed. She snatched it from my hand and opened it.

"Thank you mumma you got me the laptop" she chuckled. I kissed her forehead..

Manvi turned it on and began to do some installation. Everyone gathered around her, Manvi explained to them about its features but anyone could hardly understand.

"Uff.. maasi it's very simple I will teach you" Manvi said.

I smiled, but then got worried about how to arrange for her college fees.
