Mira stood there with a face which showed a very uneasy look, she felt that something is off, her parents were not much close with her, but then she thought she at least knew them well but to be honest it was a lie she didn't even know what job her parents even did.

''Mira child are you alright''

Mira didn't speak anything, she just nodded her head into a yes

The lady looked at her and then stood up from her seat, she poured some water in a glass and went near Mira, took her and led her to the sofa at the corner of the room, she made her sit and handed the glass of water

''Drink it''

Mira looked at her and took the glass from her hand and then took a single sip of water

''Mira, I know this all is a lot to take in, and you are troubled right now, but I assure you that you will not feel much worse about it when you grow up and start seeing everything in your life as normal.

Mira still didn't look at her and kept the same puzzled expression on her face and sat in a statue state. Take your time, you can sit here as long as you want if you want, I can give you some space.

''No need ma'am it's fine I'll...... I'll just get going now, I stayed for too long I think''

''As you wish, child''

Mira left the room and as soon as she did Nita took her phone and dailed a number

''Yes, I told her everything you wanted me to tell and also handed her the card''

''Thank you so much Nita I am so grateful to you, please take care of her''

''WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ASHA, WHY ARE YOU LYING TO HER, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF FACE SHE PUT ON WHEN SHE HEARD ALL THIS.''

''I know, but that's the only possible way to keep her safe.''

the call ended after she said those lines

when Mira went outside, she saw Avni sitting on the floor outside the door waiting for her

Mira kept the card in her pocket and smiled at Avni

''Why are you sitting here Avni''

''I didn't want to leave you here so I waited, well did you ask about the school and class''

''No, I forgot about it, I guess today is not a good day for it''

Avni looked at her

''Why do you have gloomy face, is everything alright''

''I am just tired I guess I should go back and take some rest, u should go to class I don't want you to be late''

Mira left the place, leaving Avni behind

KNOCK-

''Come in''

''Oh Mira what happened you here again''

''Nita ma'am what did you Avni that she was so upset about''

Avni glared at her

''I think you misunderstood me Avni why do think I would want to harm her i just....''

''I just told her about her mother surviving for a few days after the accident and how all their property was taken away by her uncle''

she looked a bit uneasy

''Aunty aap sach bol rahi hain na''

''Haan mai apni pari se jhut kyu bolungi''

she looked at her, feeling that she was hiding something

''Avni tum aaj school nahi jao gi kya, der hogayi hai already, ab jaogi to daat padegi''

''I wanted to ask ki Mira kab se school jaayegi, abhi tak use is baare me kisine kyu nahi inform kiya ki yahan school bi hai''

she looked at Nita with a questioning look

''Avni mai bhi busy hun aur abhi tak Mira uniform bhi nahi aaya uske documets nahi aaye and uske uncle ne kuch nahi kaha hai ham kaise kuch decision le sakte kisi aur ke liya''

Avni looked at her with an uneasy expression

''Jab tak Mira nahi jaayegi tab tak mai bhi nahi jaungi school''

''AVNI''  she called her out a bit loudly

Avni flinched at her voice, she sighed and said

''Avni aisa nahi hai ki mai Mira ka bura chahti hun tum abhi bacchi ho aur bahut sari aisi Cheeze hai jo mai tumhe nahi bata sakti''

Avni looked at her with a disappointed look

Nita moved towards her and hugged her

''Dekho Avni tumhari maa ki aakhiri iccha thi k, I raise you in a safe place and make you a good human being, maine kaha tha tumhe ki tumhare papa acche nahi the wo ek criminal the aur tumhari mom ek lawyer thi jab dono alag hue to tumhari maa jo meri sabse acchi dost thi depression ki wajah se margayi''

''aap hamesha mujhe sirf itna hi batati hain, when will you even reveal the full truth to me''. she cried

''Jab sahi samay aayega tab tumhe khud sab kuch pata chal jaayega''

saying this she left the cabin, leaving Avni alone in there

Avni sat there crying hysterically

----in the afternoon-----

Avni after finishing her classes came back to her room to find it too silent and empty, on the table there lie a book with a pencil, seeing the book open Avni moved forward and saw a beautiful drawn picture of the garden and children playing there

Mira emerged from the washroom and saw Avni admiring the drawing she drew when she felt bored

sensing someone behind, Avni turned to see Mira watching her

''Oh hi, did you draw this, it looks so pretty''

''Is it''

''Yes it is, it that even a question''

''Haan par abhi bhi bahut practise karni hai mujhe apni drawings par''

''mujhe to itna bhi nahi aata you know''

''Tum chaho to mai tumhe sikha sakti hun, only if you want''

''I would love to''

Avni smiled and hugged Mira

''Well Mira, tumne kaha tum Nita mam se apne school ke baare me puchna bhulgayi to maine tumhare liye unse jaakar baat ki aur tum next week jab tumhara uniforn aayega tab se mere saath meri class me start kar sakti ho apni padhai''

Listening to it, Mira beamed in joy and hugged Avni but after hugging her her face turned mysteriously sad, hurt, and confused.

Avni knew she was nor fine neither happy as Mira had embraced her too tightly as if she was scared

''Ok Mira let's go to and play for a while before dinner and maine na school se chutti leli hai, jab tum jaaogi school tab se mai bi jaungi''

''Par ye to galat hai na tum meri wajah se apni classes miss karogi''

''wo to sahi hai par isi bahane tum mujhe drawing bhi sikha sakti ho''

''par....

''Par war kuch nahi chalo mere baal bando ab''

they both grew closed as they both saw themselves in eachother through bits

everymorning they used to do eachothers hairs, and as always Avni used to wake up early like an early bird and wake Mira

Avni always took care of Mira like she was her own younger sister.
