Chapter - 2

Narrator (P.O.V)

Normally during the months of July the weather of Delhi use to be beautiful with occasionally occurring  rain showers and rainbows accompanying the sky giving a magnificent view to the people to the city. But from the past few days the weather had changed drastically. The rain showers are now accompanied with lightning scaring the poor soul of the little kids, instead of the rainbows heavy dark clouds are now surrounding the sky, the peaceful and perfect view had now changed to spooky scenes of a horror movie. But there is a specific someone who is still  finding peace and solace in this environment and that's our tanya . Tanya was never sacred of lighting and thunder storm. Most people generally dislike the stormy weather but our tanya from her childhood wherever she use feel sad, alone , confused the only  two things  which provide her peace first was her mother which is no more and second was the weather which is still present with her reminding her of her mother's saying that:-" Sometimes the heart sees which is invisible to the eyes". Theo and Zainab has been living with Tanya for the past 12 days . The first week was very difficult for the trio as both Zainab and Theo feels that Tanya was again slipping into depression, but with time and due to the positive company she is feeling fine. The wound is still fresh, there is no doubt that she had spent countless nights staring at the sky and crying and shedding every single tear that is left in her eyes. The pain, the suffering, the emotion, the memories , everything is so overwhelming. Theo was very concerned about the young child though in the first week he was sensible enough to not ask her for moving in. But now the days have been cut short, she has her flight due in just 3 days. He had talked to Zainab about this and both the duo has concluded that they will again try to talk her at dinner. Theo has already talked with his family about Tanya both his  sons known her as the bubbly Indian  girl and at the same time fierce. They were very happy on the fact that she will live with  them, but at the same time worried for her as they consider her as their little sis.

Time skips to dinner

Theo was the one  to initiate the conversation. He asked tanya dear I know that I am not giving you enough time for moving on, but trust me I don't want your bad. Just think about it once more before jumping to a conclusion or taking a decision .  Fresh start is what you need right now. Don't let the past taint your future. Think child is this what your parents want!? . Zainab also decided  to join; she began speaking- Mai janti hu kuch zakhm iske hote hai jinke bharne mai saari zindagi lag jati hai. Jis dard se tu guzar rhi hai ussi dard se mai bhi guzar chuki hu farak sirf itna sa hai uss waqt mai teri jahah thi aur tu meri. Mai janti hu ki aasan nhi hota par yeh zindagi hai yaha aisa hi hota hai. ( Some wounds take a lot of time to heal, but we have to move on. The pain from which you're suffering from  is the same pain I had suffered from. But at that point of time who were the one was who with me and now I am the one who will be with you no matter what. I know it's easy to say this but it's life you have to move on with the pain . ) Taking a deep breath Zainab said - Agar uncle aunty yaha hote toh kya woh tujhe aise dekh paate!? Kya unyeh achha lagta ki unki tanvi aapna sapna pura nhi kar rhi hai, kya unhone tujhe inta kamjor bana diya hai woh teri weakness nhi strength hai.(If your parents had been here they will not be happy by seeing their beloved child in this condition . They are your support system. Don't let them become your weakness.)

Theo said:- They might not be present with you physically today but they are always blessing you and are present in your heart.

Tanya (P.O.V)

Hearing both of them my mind began racing to the gloomy day and  the events starts replaying  themselves on their own.

Flashback

For the past few hours I am looking at the clock. It nearly 7o'clock, papa clearly told me that he and mummy will be back by 4 . It's been three hours already. Don't know why I am feeling obnoxious, I got a gut feeling that something bad might have happened. Pushing all the negative thought away. I decided to call my papa's colleague . Suddenly, my phone started ringing, looking at the caller ID a released a breath of relief. Picking up the call I said to papa- Papa this is not done, how you can guys can be so irresponsible!? I have been waiting for the call for so long . Where are you? Are you fine? Is everything okay? . All a received was a sob coming from the other line. What the hell!? Whose this? The man replied so sorry to tell you ma'am but your parents are no more. They met a accident , their car was completely destroyed on the highway by a truck driver who was drunk and driving. Before I can say anything the phone slipped from my hand automatically and my body felt weak. If Zainab would not have been there with me I would have surely fell on the floor.

End of flashback

Blinking away the tears . I began speaking- You are right Zainab and uncle Theo , Papa and mummy would be so sad if they saw me like this. Mummy also wanted me to achieve whatever I want. You are right there were never my weakness and they will never be. I will definitely go to Italy and will make my parents proud. Their tanvi was never weak and will fight no matter how hard the situation can be. Lastly, thankyou both of you, without you guys I would be impossible for me to survive these few days. Theo put both the girls in a fatherly hug both the girls cried in his arms and his shirt was wet from their tears. Zainab was the one to break the hug by saying - I can't breathe uncle!! The trio laughed . But uncle I want to spend some alone time in my house if you guys don't mind. I know the flight is in three days but trust me I need this. I will call you if I need anything. Theo uncle happily replied okay but if you need anything just call me or Zainab we will be there. After the dinner I bid both of them goodbye , Uncle wanted me to leave with me but I sincerely declined his offer,  uncle was having his flight of 11 p.m. at night so he leave early and also dropped Zainab on her home. After packing my bags and taking some precious belonging I made a promise to myself to be strong and face the world.

A/N:- So there is a spoiler she is going to meet someone who is very important in the story in the flight. Guess Who!?🤔😉
