Hiya Guys! I'm back with a new drabble series called All of Me. A sequel to You're My Only One.This drabble is actually based on my poem called "All of Me". I wrote it today and thought of using it as to write a drabble. Enough of my rants, let's get the track on road.
------------------------------------------------
I never wanted to fall in love.
I never wished to fly like a dove.
I was afraid of darkness.
I was more afraid of happiness.
I was just doing fine with my life. I'm an orphan and had lost everyone dear to me. First my mama and papa. Chutki was adopted by someone. My adoptive parents die leaving me and Sahil along with the "Witch with a B' of Bua of Sahil. But what can I do with my 2 rupees life? I can never think of flying in the dreamland but I have to work day and night and do some odd jobs to have a meal of three times for Sahil. Sometimes I have to sleep with empty stomach for days as Sundari Bua spends all of the money in gambling. They say always stars shine in the night and show us path but how will a person who sleeps daily under stars will understand its beauty as she sleeps almost everyday with empty stomach.
Fate had always costs my happiness with interest which is paid off by burden imposed on me. A little happiness costs me more than the earning of Shah Rukh Khan. Happiness always scared me more than darkness could.
In childhood, I was put in the dark room by the master when I failed to do any household chores. I was never given a toy to play with. The only things I won was few sandals and decent clothes and some books to read. My first friend was my sandal Chanchal. Then my diary Chhaya. I used to name each and every other thing with "ch" in starting as a reminder of my one and only blood relative my chutki. Life and Fate broke me so many times that I've nothing to lose. I understood at an early age I've to fight my battles all alone. I made myself bulletproof for shielding Sahil and myself from the cruel world. Now trusting on anyone is more difficult for me. I won't be ever damsel in distress. I'm Annika, will always be Annika
You entered in my life,
Made me your wife.
Become the source of light,
Showed my eyes a new sight.
I still cannot forgot the day when the Kanji Aankhonwala Bhagad Billa entered my life. He entered like a hurricane and destroyed my already broken 2 rupees life. He thought I'll be broken. No I fight with him as I was fighting with life for years. Time passed we formed a relationship based on trust and belief. He called me his family. I was so elated at his gesture but still insecure due to my past.
One the wedding day, his bride ran away. He forced me into a marriage with him.I saw his beastly side which was hidden from years.He was rough with me for first fortnight of our so called marriage. He accused me of sleeping with the creep of his best friend Daksh. Daksh had fed him with so many lies that he had lost his trust on me. I felt my whole world crumbling.
Daksh had kidnapped me and tried to kill me. One part of me wants accept death but another part of me wants to live for Shi..no...for Sahil. I pleaded him to spare for my little brother but he didn't. Shivaay somehow got to know the truth and saved me.
And afterwards we talked about it and reconciled. He taught me to trust on humanity once again, taught me to live life openly once again. He taught me to cook, to lean on a shoulder at times, to stitch my clothes on my own. He became Sun of my life and showed me a new sight of this cruel world. He was a gem shining in this cruel world.
