Prologue
Her life consisted of a grilled gate, a voice and a lantern till yesterday. She hasn't seen more than this. Except a plateful of food and accessories that came through the small window of her room from time to time. She knew how to talk since some voice used to call her while giving the food, but she has never seen the origin of the sound. She is Khushi. The girl who has never seen daylight in her life, who has seen anyone and has always been shut in this room of darkness.
Khushi has faint memories of a person taking care of her in her childhood. But now there is no one in her life, except the voice who talked to her while giving her food. The voice has told her few things why she has been kept captive and also said things about outer world. She was considered to be a bad luck to her family since her mother died giving her birth. Her father disowned the newborn baby and kept her in a prison. He has never visited her since then. Not only has he, nobody from her family ever visited her. Khushi now longed to go out.
But today, Khushi is 23yrs. And the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was that her prison door was open. The long years of captivity has come to an end. Now she can move out. She is free.
This is the story of a girl who has to start learning everything from seeing the sunlight, enjoying the rain, etc. This is going to be really difficult for her since she has no one to help her and to guide her. These days even the voice was not there to help her.
Chapter 1
Bright rays entered her eyes as she came out of the strange place. Her eyes were paining. She shut her eyes as soon as the light came. After a few moments she slightly opened them again.
She saw colors. There were green, stationary things which had yellow things on them. She remembered the voice telling her that plants are green. And that they have flowers of different colors on them. She assumed that these are the plants and flowers he mentioned of.
She walked some more. She was now in front of a wide black strip on which many things were running in both directions. "May be this is a road and these are vehicles which Shabd used to tell." Khushi used to call that voice 'Shabd' ever since it taught her Hindi.
She didn't know how to cross a road. So she walked front. Suddenly she heard a screech. A car has suddenly stopped in front of her.
Khushi was having a new feeling for the first time. Her heart was beating faster than usual. She was sweating like anything. Is this the feeling of fear??
"What are you doing on the middle of the road? Don't you know how to cross a road? Why are you staring at me as if I am an alien? Answer me damn it!!!"
Khushi stared at the creature standing before her.
"Is this is called as a human. Like me??? The green thing embedded in the white thing on him is so beautiful. Is that the eyes??"
Arnav stared at the girl in front of him. She is tall. She is as if she is the new representative of early man. She is dirty as if she hasn't had bath for years. But her eyes have a special charm. Who is she??
"Are you what is called as a human?" Khushi asked innocently.
Arnav was shocked at her question. Nobody has asked him such a question till date. Is she mad??? Or is there some mystery? She looks like she doesn't know her way. Should I help her?? Arnav was confused.
Howz it.??? Should I continue.?? I'll be back on Monday and if I find that u people love this, I'll continue. Please comment and like. I'm buzy with my exams so I don't think I'll be able to send out pms to all.
