A girl of eight years is standing in the midway of the busy road....Vehicles are passing in a swift mode... A car with full speed was coming near the girl but the girl was pushed with a force to the safe side and the car crushed the lady who saved the girl........

Mamma......Mamma.....

A beautiful girl wake up from his dreams, Few drops of sweat appear on the forehead of the girl.....

She was crying silently.....

Girl's pov
Kyun mamma... Kyun aapne mujhe bachaya... Nhi rhna mujhe yha aapke bina.... Pappa ek auntie ko laye h for mee...He says she is my new mom.... But no, she is not I don't like her... She is not like you, mamma... Plzzz vapas aa jao mamma... Your doll misss you very much......

I miss you mamma.... I Miss you.... said she while crying.....

But her voice felt only on the closed door...There was no one who can shared her pain... No one who can console her..... No one who can give her tremendous love...No one who caressened her hairs and make her sleep on her lap...

This girl was no other than Nandani

Nandani was a talented child, possessing the slender fingers that can only belong to a pianist. She was an entitled princess, the privileged daughter of a wealthy businessman. She was happy, living with her father and his lover (whom he had married after his wife's death), whom she called auntie, in a beautiful mansion, knowing nothing of the piles of debt her father swept under the rugs....The mansion that he had built was made by taking debts...He spent his day and night with his so called new wife, Soha and has forget that ha has a daughter who needs love, care and tender.....

The poor soul, Nandani was lonely one in her mansion where there was every possible thing needed for comfort but she did not find peace and solace there.....

She usually sit on ground in her room and cry for many hours remembering her mother....

One day she was crying in the night...

"Doll".... Someone said
she heard a voice and looks upwards only to see her mother draped in white saari

Nandani- "Mamma" she said sobbing and she started wiping her tears

"Doll...Why are u crying?? Hmm" and comes close to her and wiped away her tears

Nandani- "Mamma aap thik ho naa... Aap sach main hoo naa... Aap ab nhi jaoge naa... I can't live without you mamma" said she holding her tightly from waist and dig her head in her waist

"Doll...seee look here" her mother holds her chin and nodded as nooo...."No more tears" said she

"Doll dekho I m always with you, aapko jab bhi mamma ki yaad aaye close your eyes you will see your mamma will be with you"...said her mom smilingly

"Mamma aap kab aaoge" nandini asked sniffing her nose

"Main koi aapse door thodi naa gyi hu... hmmm main toh aapke saath hi hu... Bass you have to close your eyes and feel mee... And promise mee aap kabhi nhi inn tears(pointing towards her tears) ko eyes se nikalne nhi doge... Promise mee you will never ever cry and will fight back with every struggle of your life".... Said she smiling

Nandini just nodded

"Chalo now time to sleep and she take her to bed and tucked her with blanket and kissed her forehead"
"close you eyes" said she palming her eyes

"Nhi I want to see you" Nandani said

"aap mamma ki doll ho naa soo just close your eyes and sleep well mamma is always with you" said her mother and sing song for her which acts as a peace to Nandani

Nandani sleep in a blink of minutes....

This has usually become her routine now to meet her mother in dreams where she can talk with her and told her daily routine of her life....

But it seems God has decided to give her somewhat more pain..... her carefree world burst when her father also died.

The mansion, the piano, and everything of value were taken as the payoff of the debt her father had taken......leaving little Nandani with no one to rely on but the stranger she called auntie.

Soha- Nandani, as now you know you have to live to mee ... You hve to follow my orders.....Understand said she arrogantly.....

Nandani- jii aunty...said she reluctantly

Her step mother bring her to her boyfriend's home....

Soha- baby.... and hug her boyfrnd and kissed him

While Nandani was feeling all this disguested...

Maddy- hey, who is she???? Pointing towards Nandani.....He watched Nandani from head to toe with a shameless eyes....

Soha- She is daughter of my husband Nandini...leave that now she will do all servant work....

Maddy seams to be interested in Nandani....Nandani was feeling his continuous gaze on her but she can't do anything.....

Maddy goes near Nandani

Maddy- hey Nandani and takes her hands for handshake forcefully

While She was trying his best to remove his hands... He was touching her knuckles....

And then leaves her hands and goes near her ears and says babes you can come to mee anytime or can call mee to accompany you in night....

With that he moves backwards and start smiling evily.... Nandani felt like crying on her destiny.....

That night, she cleans over a large basket of dirty dishes, Nandani bit her lips and tied up her hair, kissing her all-too-brief blithe childhood goodbye.

With the passage of time, Nandani grew. Her personality hardened; she became tough but optimistic, blunt but independent. Her hands changed; they became rough, ill-cared but skillful.

Maybe qualities like diligence, courage, and honesty don't begin to describe Nandani. But if only one word is allowed to sum up this girl, it would be resilience. Life can throw lemons at her but she certainly won't be defeated.

And if her father's accident was her first taste of Life's lemon, many more is much on the way.......

Maddy has been making advances on her, watching her while changing and trying to lay a finger on her. Shower was more than worse for her....

Before turning on the water, there were three things she had to do religiously: 1) secure the three bolts on the door, 2) cover the windows with large wooden pieces to prevent anyone from peeping in, and
3) block the cracks with towels. Even then, she still had to listen for the perverted man's creeping behind the window.

Despite her so called destiny, Nandani did have a good friend, Dhruv..... Dhruv had a crush on Nandani for as long as he can remember...... Yet she's too busy trying to get by to notice.

Life isn't only hard for the poor; the rich have their set of problems as well.

A tall, handsome boy Manik Malhotra with so much attitude..... Girls usually throw themselves on him.... He was the son of an aspired pianist and an heiress to a large family Malhotra empire.

Perhaps once upon a time, it was love that drew Manik's parents together, but the gulf between class slowly vanish that love. Problems grew with the father's lack of success, then one day, his father left. When Manikk saw his father again, it was in the morgue...

The day his father died, Manikkk gave up a piece of himself. He lost motivation in life and started playing around with the hearts of women.

This was how he landed with a bet to court with his friends for the most difficult girl on campus...... He played with girl's emotion..... Love was not defined in his dictionary......

So, how will they meet..... What will happen then will they fall in luv or will be apart from each other.... To know more stay tuned with the story.... Plzzz leave your response....
