The Key Chapter 1

Rakesh!!!! Please leave me.. Please cried Manusmrithi. Mommy!! Mumma cried the little girl Ayesha. And finally after several pleadings She took her small poor immature child and ran. She placed her bare foot in the hot, pickling sand. Jagadeeshwara!! She called the almighty for a second.. She pleaded the gods to take her away to heaven. But then... Who is there for her child???? For her protection???The poor child smiled and wept her mother's tears... Manusmrithi saw her beautiful child and shed a lot more tears pitying that her child did not have a father's protection. The beautiful crimson red vermillion suddenly mixed with water and came down to her face. It was raining.

Oh yes, The excitement was there in the beautiful child's face.... You might be surprised, But yes, It was the first time the girl saw rain...They were in Rajasthan.... Oh god! Manusmrithi cried. Where can I go??? Where is shelter?? 

Why fear when I am there??? cried somebody from behind... Perhaps it may be god... Telling her that he only showered rain as blessings. But however she turned to see who that was. There he was, A man. He had a moustache. He was in a police officer uniform. Who.. Who are you sir? Well, Cheer up Manu !!! You may have shelter if... you talk a deal with me... A deal of hunger.... The thirst of me will be quenched..

Juju Are bacha!! Your child is beautiful as you!!! Manusmrithi raised an eyebrow.. And said: DON'T TOUCH MY CHILD!!!! in a brave and clear voice

Manusmrithi ran like lightening had stroke her. She suddenly slipped because of the wet sand. The succulent skin of her baby was stripped and ripped. NO NO NO!!! Manusmrithi!! The lust officer chased her like a wild cat. He dashed to grope her... AMME BHAGAVATHI!!!!! She cried in agony..

                                             *******************

She opened her eyes. She was in the hospital. Tears came piercingly stinging her nose. She raised and eyebrow. And turned her head. Ayesha was not there.

With great difficulty she got up....AYESHA!!!! AYESHA!!! She cried uncontrollably... 

For you I live, 

My life I will give,

Always there will be my protective spade,

And I will be the sunshine for your shade,

I will never let you get scars

I will take you to the stars,

She came out from her from her dream , which was glint with dew.

AYESHA!!! She hit her head a hundred times hitting her head head thinking that it was her mistake that she married Rakesh. A man who thought that women were machine for reproducing babies. He always tortured and harassed a lot of women including Manusmrithi , His own wife. Well, However it was not her mistake that she had married Rakesh. It was her parent's mistake. They had happily and joyously gave their one and only child to some random rowdy, as he could take their daughter without getting any dowry gifted. Till now, Manusmrithi's father had a huge respect for his son in law. Suddenly, A nurse dashed into the puny room carrying a adorable girl. Seeing Manu crying, She queried with concern : Ma'am is this your baby?

Mumma!!! The baby's face bloomed. Ayesha! Oh my!!! Ayesha. She turned to the nurse and said:: I cannot express enough gratitude to you mam. Thank you. Thank you so much, You just returned my life to me. By the way, Who admitted me in this hospital??? Oh mam my name is Nitya. I only admitted you here. I work here. Some officer was chasing you ma'am.. But before that I hurriedly carried you and rushed to the hospital with your baby mam. Mam your baby's safety makes my spine shiver...

Manusmrithi looked up above in the sky thinking that yes, one day she is going to be happier than others... She is gonna become an IAS officer!
