CHAPTER 13 - NEW BEGINNINGS AND ENDS

Dear Diary,

          Ava left home that day.

          She went to Amar, and they started a happy life.

          Dad and I were not sad by mom leaving. We found the peace which we had long-lost. Dad accompanied me to my grandparents' graves. Grandma and grandpa were laid beside each other. We offered them flowers and spent quality time with each other.

        I realised that dad was a very good person and that he couldn't flourish because of mom's restrictions.

       We also moved to a new house. Our new house is bigger than our old house.

     I am 12 now and can take care of myself too!! My dad doesn't need to take care of me now!!!

     Annd!!! Speaking of my dad!!

You know what the great news is!!!

Dad is getting married today!!!

My new mom's name is Dove and she is such a sweet lady!!! She also has two sweet little twins!!! Noelle and Noah!!! Both aged 7!!!They are the sweetest!!!

I feel like I will finally get the happiness I deserve.

.

.

.

"Do you, Derek Arthur Scott, take Dove Alya Derebith, as your legally wedded wife?"

"I do!"

"Do you, Dove Alya Derebith, take Derek Arthur Scott as your legally wedded husband?"

"I do!!"

"Then I declare you husband and wife for life. You may kiss now."

The kiss was accompanied by shouts from the crowd. Deora was sitting with Noelle and Noah, her new siblings. Her dad and her new mom called all 3 of them. Noelle and Noah pulled the reluctant Deora to the aisle. They all posed happily.

A happy family.

A perfect family.

.

.

.

"Here are your passport, visa and other important documents. Take the money. You will get out of the house right now!!!", Dove shouted throwing the money at Deora's face.

Deora's belongings were scattered all through the apartment. 10-year-old Noelle and Noah were found dumbfounded.

Derek was standing in a corner. Face down.

Deora looked around. She didn't find hope in the faces of the people she saw.

She picked up her stuffs. Her bag was packed by her mom.

Clothes and other necessities were packed.

All her other stuffs lay scattered on the floor.

"Mommy, why are you throwing big sis out of the house!!??", Noelle asked.

Noah nodded from beside her.

"She is no big sis sweetie. And that's why she is leaving us."

Deora looked at her "so-called" family.

"Where did everything go wrong...??", She asked herself.

.

.

.

It has been 3 years since her father remarried. Her new mom Dove had been loving and caring. Deora had taken quite a number of part-time jobs so as to not burden her parents. And they were very happy with everything. She really thought that she finally got the happiness she deserved. But, what is this..?? Why is she thrown out her house at the middle of the night. That also in the pouring rain?? What mistake did she make??

Deora stood in the rain. The rain water mixed with her silently flowing tears. Her belongings were all wet.

"Why should I deal with all this!!!??"

She shouted to the overseers.

"What did I do!!! Was it my fault being born!!!?? I didn't choose to be born you know..."

She broke down and slumped in the rain.

"It is better to just end all these... Let me just die... I have had enough!!!"

Deora took out the hand knife which she always carriers with her. She held the knife near her wrist.

And quite suddenly, a small voice spoke up from her head.

"STOP!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!! THIS ISN'T THE OPTION DEORA!!! GET UP!! SHOW THE ONES DOUBTING YOU THAT YOU ARE NO TRASH!!! RISE UP FROM THE ASHES AND BECOME A PHEONIX!!!"

The voice was her childhood. Her innocent childhood stopping her from taking a bad choice.

"But... What will I even do...?"

"GO FAR AWAY!!! RESTART YOUR LIFE!!!",The voice spoke.

"Yes... that's right... I have saved quite an amount by working 7 part time jobs. I'll take a flight and restart my life!!!"

"But, the ticket..."

The answer came to her almost instantly.

"Miss Leila!!"

She went to a nearby phone booth and dialled her teacher's number. It was one of the few numbers she has memorised.

She asked Miss Leila to book her a flight ticket. The earliest one to the farthest place. She would personally collect the ticket and give her the money.

Miss Leila was quiet. Then she said,

"Ok"

A short and precise answer.

.

.

.

Deora reached Miss Leila's home and collected the ticket. Miss Leila didn't ask any questions.

When Deora was about to give her the money, she just glared at her.

.

.

.

Deora left.

"Where is she going?", her husband asked lulling their 2 year old son to sleep.

"Maybe somewhere she will find happiness."

.

.

.

Deora took a cab to the airport and spent the night there. Her flight was at 7:40 am.

"Flight number AR546", She mumbled to herself.

She went through all the check-in procedures.

The security was looking at her questioningly, but she didn't care. She pushed the ticket through the counter. The man there verified her ticket, and passport and visa and put a stamp on her ticket.

She sat down. There was a lot of time before her flight arrived. She thought of the days incidents. Tears streamed down her face.

"I really thought that I will get a true family...", She thought.

.

.

.

At around 7:30 am, Deora reached the runway. There were a lot of people. The plane stood there.

"It's so big", Deora couldn't help gasping.

She sat down in her respective seat at 7:46 am.

Someone dropped their mobile phone beside her, she picked it up.

"Thank you child!!", the grandpa said.

Deora smiled softly.

At around 7:50 am, the plane took off.

Deora glanced outside. The sky was beautiful. She was entering a new phase of her life. And she found the sky welcoming her.

"Hello, new life!!", She thought to herself while smiling softly, in the soft pink glow of the Sun.
