If you weren’t here… I don’t know what would have happened to me.
.

two....

Megha's Pov
So....by now you must be confused about everything
that has happened
I’m Megha Rajpurohit. I like to talk. A lot. I actually love it.
I’m 20 years old, and I live with my Nani.
And yes before you start assuming things the woman you saw is my real mother. Not a stepmother. Not adopted. My own mother.
Now let me tell you what actually happened.
I’ll start from the very beginning.
When I was still inside my foolish woman’s womb
Sorry for those words, I know they sound harsh, and I’m not usually that kind of person, but this is my truth.
When my mother was about to give birth to me, my Baba-sa suddenly fell ill. When the reports came, it turned out he had stage three cancer.
Oh and I forgot to mention something important.I already had two siblings. An elder sister who is five years older than me,and an elder brother who is two years older.
So yes, technically… they didn’t need another child.
But I still came
About a month after I was born, my Baba-sa passed away.
And then came the real poison.
Some so-called priest one of those fake holy men told my mother that I was a curse, that everything had happened because of me.
From what I’ve heard…after that, my mother couldn’t even look at me. She didn’t hold me.She didn’t feed me her milk.
Honestly, it’s a miracle I survived at all.
At that time, my mother was very young only 25 years old.And yes, she was very beautiful.
(Not from the heart, though.)
Soon after, a marriage proposal came for her.For another man.He was a widower too. And he had infertility issues - he wanted children
So they got married.
But My mother didn’t want to take me with her.
Finally ....
My mother got a father for her children.That man got children… and a wife.And just like that, they became a complete, loving family.
Honestly, that uncle was actually a decent man.Simple. Kind. Unlike my so-called mother.
And me?
She left me behind with my Nani.
And don't think we are poor , we are a middle class family
My Nanaji had already passed away before I was born. He was a soldier, so the house ran on his pension.
At first, my Nani didn’t particularly like me. I won’t lie and say she loved me from the beginning.
But no she never hit me. She never abused me.
She was just neutral
When I started going to school, I finally understood what parents were. What families looked like.
Strangely enough, I wasn’t very emotional about it. I’ve never been that type.
Later, my mother started visiting the house again. That’s when I realised oh, so this woman is my mother… and those naughty kids were actually my brother and sister.
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Oh shit
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
I forget my 12 th result will come today
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
(look at the clock)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
I completely forget
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
I got so lost in talking ....in remembering that I slipped right out of my mind (panicking)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
Megha Rajpurohit(Fl)
(rush to the phone and open the result portal)
And before you judge me ...
Yes I am 20 years old and yes I'm just finishing 12th
I joined school late
Just simple as that
And honestly
I love studying
It’s the only thing in this world I truly love.The only thing that has never abandoned me. The only thing I believe can take me anywhere I want to go.
