Song Recommendation:
Sahiba - Aditya Rikhari

When you see her again, the light is gone from her eyes, and when you try to look for it, you find it in the snotty, wailing baby girl in her arms.

Krishnaa smiles at you, through the colours on her face. Blues and reds and purples. Beautiful beautiful blue. Beautiful when you watched the sky together.

This is a blue you hate with every inch of your being. You wish you could take her face in your palms and trace her skin, erase the colours. Her pain. But all you can do once again, like the first time you met her, is stare. Speechless.

A strange helplessness consumes your heart and you realise there are tears in your eyes. The toddler in her arms smiles and reaches out an arm to you. Your tears cross the rim of your eyes.

You nod when she talks. You say you will help.
Of course, anything. Of course.

"I never want my baby to see him again. I never want to meet him again." she cries, the colourful bruises on her face contorting.

You want to pat her head as you used to. Hold her close and protect her against everything evil in this world, but you cannot.

So you pet the child's head instead "You don't need to worry about anything. I will make sure everything is alright."

And you keep your promise. You put on your black coat and walk into the courtroom. You stand for justice. For law.

And more than that, you stand for the girl who was and is no more. The girl whose eyes held the universe and the girl who could not be yours.

In the end as she smiles through her tears, when you tell her you've won. You feel as though you've won the entire world.
