Warmth

"My...my child... she is my child right?" with tears filled in her eyes which were sparkling as the stars and running down her cheeks as if they were some rivers, a 24 year old lady cries while holding her new born daughter.

"Without a doubt madam, she is indeed your child." was what one of the maids that were present at the scene said humbly**. "I... I am so happy! My daughter..."** She gently kisses her daughter while saying these words. She looks at her beautiful lips and calmly listens her cry. It was a sight that would make even a vinegar tempered person smile.

Well it is a true saying,"Happiness doesn't last forever." And why did I say this? Hehe... you will come to know soon...

"My baby.... I am so happy... Aaahh", she gently keeps on holding her daughter even when she was in pain. Her tears were endless and pain unbearable, but even in that state the only thing that she thought was about her daughter! But how long can one escape from pain and pretend to be smiling? She soon started to feel the pain increasing. Her hands started to shiver and the eyes felt heavy which were making her vision blurry. Her senses dimmed and her consciousness slowly fading, but still she wasn't ready to let her daughter go! She wanted to feel this warmth a bit more. But then suddenly....

Suddenly something happened that changed her long living happiness to sorrow. Her daughter which she was holding was vanished! Vanished? What do I mean by that? What exactly happened? Well that's a secrete for now. Let's move on in our story to see what happens next!

7 years later.....

"Please... please gimme some food... I.. I am hungry miss..." and while saying this Tia's hands trembled as she slowly hugged the Orphanage Owner. She was in a state which no one could ever imagine. A young girl like her with so thin hands and legs as if she was deprived of food since ages! And it was true!

'BAM'

"Aaaaahhh....." She cried as she fell on the ground after being slapped by the Orphanage Owner. "Dirty Child! You are of no use to me. It's better if you die! I had already given you one piece of bread yesterday right? Just get lost now!" Such cruel words towards a young girl like her! Yes, you all guessed right! This is the same girl about whom I had told at the starting! The daughter whose warmth was a blessing to her mother. A girl who was supposed to live as a princess who was now in a rundown, poor and dirty orphanage!

"Please miss, I will not ask for evening food, can-can you give me now. Please! I am hungry I...." and even before she could say anything further, the orphanage owner pinched her cheeks as if trying to tear it! "Miss... it... it hurts please sto...."

'BAM'

And yet again she was slapped! "You won't get anything to eat until it's evening! If you really want some thing then go and eat the bugs that lie in the garden...." And by saying this , the cruel owner left the room rushing outside to meet her boyfriend!

But Tia was happy....
