FABRIC OF THEIR LIFE: Persistent Souls
Suruvaat!!!
Hello~
everyone has their beginning point ...and for me this story is my beginning point.
Whoever is reading this now, U are also like a part of this beginning for me .Stay tuned .
I won't be giving intro of characters you will know about them upon reading the story ...after all giving every detail and all of the character in the beginning don't seem exciting to me...
. Let's just start Already~
In some village road
children playing like a routine giggling and teasing each other unaware of things around them.... so pure and innocent.
only thing that matter to them in those little innocent age was just fun ... They weren't having proper toys or anything and no one there from any financial strong families...
But this rich poor notation just matters to elders they aren't a big obstacle for kids who want fun only they matter nothing to them...
afterall no one can stop kids from having fun in their own twisted yet innocent ways ...
They were playing with Coarse sand
Other little kids
Laughing wholeheartedly
Other little kids
browsing little shells 🐚 in coarse sand.
Little girl
*Said with full proud, her face having little dirt and her long braids in a mess* Heyyy everyone
look how much of a big this shell I've found ...I'm going to keep this one with me
Other little kids
*Everyone in alert mood and stopped browsing the shells for a moment and in serious mood with curiosity in their eyes looks toward that little girl*
Other little kids

Little girl

Little girl

Little girl

Little girl
(Getting internally confused to whom to give)But still what if you guys didn't return it back then???
Other little kids

Little girl
(Thinked for a while not ready to give away her precious shell)

After some times more of their bickering all kids decided to do a race till near by Large Neem tree and winner will get to keep that shell with them for a day ...that little girl also Agreed !!

All kids internally crying
Little girl
(Internally also disappointed but knew she had to give her shell🐚 )
she was slowly walking towards that winner boy with her heavy heart....She was purposely walking slowly toward the other kids...
she almost reached there ...Out of nowhere A strong firm arm came and someone holded her through her waist and smoothly took her up from ground.
Little girl
startled and shocked 😲
Little girl
(then she looked at the man and got comfortable again as this grip was not of someone unknown and smiled )

Little girl

Little girls KAKA
(looks at her doe eyes and said)

That little girl was just playing while wearing only her inner wears and her hair was a bit messy with remnant of dust... Then her uncle took off his Gamcha(a little coarse cotton towel)And starting draping it on her like A little dress ...
But as it was urgent he just wrapped the coarse cotton towel over her skinny body and embraced her in his arms again hugging her protectively leaving to their house
Little girl

Little girls KAKA
I'll tell you later ..hmm..For now keep quiet and calm
Listen carefully you will meet some peoples and be a good girl okay?!they all are elders to you just like Me and your BaBa ..hmm
Little girl
(bit tensed by his uncle's words) huh..okay .
Just in few minutes they reached the home.
Little girl
(today something felt a bit different....I was curious to know what must be happening....I saw my Bappa (grandfather ) And Baba and my other uncles also they all were sitting in our crop field with some new mens... I didn't get to see anything but it felt serious )
Little girl
I was still wrapped in my uncles cotton long towel well it was wrapped more like saree type Just like my other Kaki ma(Aunt) and Amma wear.
Both finally reached there ..and Little girls Uncle putted her on the ground from his arms who were till now was like some guard and safety around her but now all gone...she was standing in front of His BaBa and other Kaka (uncles) and those other elders present looking down .
Little girl
(Clenching the shell 🐚 in her little hands for some support as she was feeling nervous and looking down )
Elderly guest Males

Little girl's Baba (Father)

Little girl
(Got startled and finally came back to real world as she was busy in her own world till now & Finally slightly looked up but not able to make eye contact As for showing respect to elders )
Little girl
(Said in her cute childish voice in polite tone while holding her hand together)Pradaam 🙏
Elderly guest Males
(In a bit of soft tone)come here
Little girl

Elderly guest Males
(slightly caresses and patted her head)hmm
After few minutes...they all started talking about random stuffs like market prices and crops as all the men their sitting belonged from agricultural background
That little girl was Still standing there listening there conversation but with zero understanding and she was also now getting tired but didn't know what to do
Little girl
