Chapter# 1
In Agra, a royal family lived. They were respected people and were very prosperous. They had always wanted a child for themselves and after years of prayers they had finally been gifted by one but the Queen Garima was severely sick through all this. The only thing that could fix her was a magical golden flower which was rarely found. So her husband, the King, Shashi had set up many of his people to go and look for this flower.
But there is always some one evil in a fairy tale; an old lady was in search of that supernatural flower already but gladly couldn't get her hands on it as the Kingdom's men had reached it first.
The flower was given to the doctor's hands and Queen Garima had been fully cured by it. A few days later, a girl was born in their family who was beautiful with long silky golden hair and had filled the whole Kingdom with happiness after her birth. She was named Khushi.
*
Time passed by... when Khushi was only three years old, she was roaming around in her garden playing with the flowers, and she started singing a song. While she was singing her hair started to glow; the golden color of her hair spread yellow light in the already sunny backyard. Her parents were shocked at the picture. They didn't know what was happening as they were traumatized so they went to a doctor, who was their family friend as well.
Khushi's parents told him that this is what had happened this morning and they didn't know what to do so the only thing that came up in their mind was to come to him.
The doctor checked Khushi and asked her to sing what she was singing before. She was a shy girl but the doctor asked her parents that you take her somewhere alone and make her sing and I will hide to see her glowing hair.
*
Khushi's parents took her to an additional room and her parents sat down and Khushi started roaming around. While roaming around she started to mumble the same song, her hair started to glow again. The doctor was old and he had swiftly guessed that these were the effects of the healing flower. He wasn't much stunned about Khushi. He told her parents to come inside his room, he told them that their daughter had magical hair which glows when she sings and heals the sick or any injuries and these were the powers of the flower that was used to healed Garima.
Khushi's parents asked if it was an awful thing but the doctor told them that their daughter was blessed with this and was needed to be protected. They all went home and this news had been spread all over the little Kingdom.
*
One day Khushi was playing out side and a man came who asked her to come with her so that he could giver her chocolate. Fortunately the doctor was going inside their house but he saw Khushi going with an unknown man. He went and asked Khushi where she was going. Seeing the doctor the man ran away. The doctor was suspicious about him. He went inside with Khushi and her parents greeted him and took him inside-
"You should take care of her, you know?" - The Doctor said making Khushi sit in his lap.
"Yes I know, why are you saying that?" -Shashi chuckled and took a sip from his tea.
"Look Shashi you're my friend, a family to me and you have a precious daughter. Khushi needs special protection other wise someone might steal her." -the doctor said carefully.
"What are you saying Dr.Kapoor?" -Shashi became alert at his statement.
Dr.Kapoor explained the incident that happened outside and Shashi was shocked and scared to the core. Shashi hadn't taken much time to inform all the security to take care of Khushi as well nobody would take her anywhere without his permission.

*Few days later*
"We should do a get together? It's been a while so I thought it would be fun, also Khushi's birthday is coming too." -Garima said to Shashi who was reading through a newspaper.
"Yes, it's true we haven't done any gatherings and for Khushi, anything." -Shashi agreed with out any hesitation.
"How about tomorrow? I'll call all your colleagues, friends and our family." -Garima sat up straight on the sofa.
"Okay Garima" - Shashi quickly said and got busy with a call.
*
The next day everybody was active in decorations and work all around the great palace. An old woman who was a beggar came outside. Asking for some food but the servants sent her away. That woman sat on the edge of the street looking around for an opportunity.
Everybody was busy in work and in rush to complete everything, nobody noticed Khushi going out of the house while playing with her doll. The old woman had finally seen Khushi and an evil smile played on her lips. She went up to Khushi and gave her a sweet. Khushi smiled at her innocently, the woman picked Khushi up and ran away giving one last devil look towards the palace.
It was evening; everybody was done with their preparations. Garima and Shashi went to get ready. They were in their room when...
"Let me go get Khushi from her room." -Garima said and walked towards Khushi's room.
Garima entered Khushi's room and called her name out -"Khushii" But there was no movement or reply, Garima checked around but she was to be seen no where. She ran up to her room and inform Shashi about it being scared of the consequences. They reported to the guards to look around every where and even an inch shouldn't be missed, after looking all around their castle, Khushi couldn't be found.
"When was the last you saw her?" -Shashi dropped down on the leather sofa with his head in his hands.
"Well.. I... saw her near the main door; she was playing with her doll." -Garima said almost in tears.
"What if she went outside?" -Shashi said quickly getting up and looking towards the main gate. They ran out of the main hall to the main door calling out Khushi's name. Shashi inquired the security if they had checked all over this area. Garima had started crying, it had been hours since they had seen Khushi.
"Where is my Khushi?" -Shashi whispered.
