Part 1 -- "The Shores Of The Memory"****************
"Dear passengers, the 'Delhi Express' has arrived on the platform number 2. So, we kindly ask you to enter the train as it will leave soon. Thank you."
I looked at my watch to note the time. It showed 7.30. I got up from my seat to enter the train. I know that this may be the last time I was landing on my Lucknow soil. But deeper down, I was pretty sure that I would complete my mission.
So, one last time, I looked back. I know there is no point in looking back now. I have to go to Delhi. I have to accomplish my mission. And I entered the train.
After the whistle, the 'Delhi Express' started moving leaving behind the 'Lucknow Railway Station'. I looked outside the window.

"Khushi, Lavanya, come inside. You will get cold. Its enough playing in the rain." Buaji's word hit us. I looked at my elder sister, Lavanya, pleading her not to get into house. She giggled and took my hand and almost dragged me into the house.

Some noises made me come back to the real world. I sighed. Those days were beautiful indeed they were the best. I looked at the baby. It was crying. The Baby's mom looked at me. I gave her a smile and again looked out of the window.

{ flashback }
"No Khushi, don't cry. You are our real daughter. Don't give a damn to her. You are beautiful na beta, so she wants to see you ugly. She is jealous of you. So, she always makes you to cry." Mamma told me.. I looked at her and nodded.

"Will you please hold my baby for a minute?". I looked at the woman. I gave her a assuring smile and took the baby in my hands. Her mother started pouring milk from a large drinking bottle to baby's bottle. After finishing the work done, I gave her baby to her. She thanked me. Again I smiled at her.
I again looked out of the window. Before the dark memories starting to haunt me, I thought its better to call my friend, Shyam. I haven't called him before leaving Lucknow. I dialled his number. After few rings, he came on the line.
"Hi Khushi, have you left?", he asked me.
"Yeah Shyam, I have left. And yeah, what time the interview is in AR Fashion House, tomorrow?"
"Its sharp 10.30 in the morning. Are you prepared Khushi?"
"Yeah. I will call you once I reach Delhi. Bye, take care"
"Bye Khushi, take care"
I looked at the baby. It was sleeping peacefully. I took my family photo out my bag and stared at it. We all looked happy. A tear formed in my eyes. I didn't let it fall. I know I have to be strong. Strong enough to complete my mission. Yeah, my mission "Destroying Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada's family".
