Chapter 2

I don't like much to stay in public eyes.  Only one time is there when I am out in the public. 

Hopes. This is Orphanage connected with Old age Home. I love spending my weekends here. Elders and children both left behind by their loved ones. But they get each other's love here. Elders get love from youngsters and children get love and care from elders.

I love to play with children and spend time with grand mothers and grand fathers. However sad or gloomy I will be but five minutes with them and boom I'll be happy to go person again.

I also have two friends. Riansh and Kiya. Who are in love with each other and happily engaged.

They also join me sometimes here. Today is one of those days. Today is Saturday and tomorrow will be Sunday. They are going tomorrow for one day picnic. They asked me to go with them but I don't want to be third wheel so I denied.

I was in my thoughts when Riansh shouted ''Earth madness. Help me with lunch plates.'' I happily went there and we all had lunch together with everyone. Here everyone helps each other. No big no small no difference at all. 

We talked for hours and I also checked accounts of hopes. It was already evening when I finished checking them. It isn't that difficult and I love to do it. 

When I went out to get fresh air I saw a little girl from our hopes trying to get pebble from pond. I got worried easily.

Chutki is too small for pond. I quickly run there and held her in arms.

I started to shout on her. I never shout on children but how can be she this careless. What if something have happened to her?

While I was shouting on her I felt someone's gaze on me. I looked side way than I noticed one grandfather there.

I asked him ''Do you want something sir?'' He shook his head and said ''I was here to just visit and look.'' I nodded. May be he is here to meet one of grandpa. He asked my name and I told him. I was about to go back to chutki when he asked again ''What is your age?'' I found it weird still I replied ''27 sir.'' And I went back to chutki.

I went towards chutki when Riansh and Kiya informed me that they are leaving. I bid them farewell and started to talk with chutki.

Siya is best friend to me. I may never say to her that how much she is important to me but she is. We are best friends. Me and kiya are only persons who knows about her.

She is cute and best. Any man will be lucky to have her as wife. I know she is scared of marriage and that's why avoiding that but she will be bestest wife and Daughter in law.

She is also stubborn as hell. We love spending time with her here at Hope's. She can make anyone laugh with her acts. No one will say by looking at her that she is working at such big position. She is happy girl but she can be quite a scary at times.

I asked her to join us for picnic but she understand and gave our time when it's necessary.

We have to left early today so I asked kiya ''Let's go? We have to fly tonight.'' She said ''Don't tell me you are taking me Bombay for picnic.'' I just smiled and nodded.

If it's not for Siya, kiya wouldn't have been in my life. I am so much grateful for her. We went outside and talked with siya and bid our farewell.

As we were going one elder uncle asked us ''You guys must be miss Siya's Friends.'' Here everyone knows siya more than me and kiya so I nodded. He asked with smile ''So what do you think how she will be as someone's wife?'' I didn't liked this question so I just said ''She will be worst wife sir but I think it's none of your concern.''

That grandfather just chuckled and said ''I am just asking and also you can tell me how much she have studied?'' Now this is over. I can't tell him that she has done bachelors and masters in business that too from best university So I replied ''She is 10th failed.'' That grandfather thanked me and left from there. I ones again looked back at siya. 

God please protect her from every evil. After that I left with kiya. All the while she was quiet only. Kiya asked me ''Why you talked bad about siya.'' I Replied ''I didn't get good vibe from that man so I just told lies about siya. You know how much she is precious to everyone.'' Kiya nodded and we left for our picnic. I should dragged siya with us.
