First Victory

" Huh! what?! h- how is this possible?! There are children playing in there. There are trees, animals. birds are flying. But.. that only can be seen in the water?! Everywhere else is just clear sky?! Is this the upper world?! Where no one from here can go? But if they can come here, why don't they do so? " she wondered. Jhini said " they can only come here if we let them. Or they are in verge of dying" Though the girl had amnesia, the upper world somehow seemed very familiar to her. when they were coming down, the girl saw a vast field of yellow flowers right under the sky river, going along with it. They also felt so familiar to her. It seemed that no one has stepped foot in there yet. She tried to touch the flowers but suddenly Ghumru pulled her back. " Don't touch them! they are flowers from the upper world. Everything there is poisonous. Even these flowers. You can even smell the strong poison in them " she said. The girl didn't get what was wrong with the strong smell. " These flowers are only seen under the sky waters. Where the upper world rules. Most of the people hates the upper world as well as the people and things belong to there, while some of us really do want to know about it and try to take care of the people from there. Because they are all alone here" Jhini said. " Hmm.. so that's why this vast field is still untouched!" the girl muttered. After that they came back to the village.

As soon as they came back they sensed something was wrong. Everyone was silent and quiet frightened. When they came back home, they heard Joe screaming at someone. Mother was standing right beside him. He stopped shouting when he saw them coming. But this time he looked somewhat different. There wasn't hatred or bitterness in his eyes for the girl. Instead she saw fear and sadness in his eyes. Like they were begging her " please don't come here! Go back! Go!! ". The man who he was quarrelling with looked at her. He looked kinda funny. Like someone squeezed out all the water from a wet piece of cloth. She almost laughed from her own thoughts. She could see that the man was shocked after seeing her. His eyes had widened. A while later he got a hold of himself and then laughed out loud like a hyena. When he was coming forward she saw that he eyes were inspecting her from head to toe. He stopped Infront of her and said " woah! what a surprise!!! She is exactly like her ! So is she the one who'll go with me today?! " Joe looked at him like a wounded lion. " Adam! Don't go too far !! And don't touch her!!" he warned. Adam smirked " Wow the dog learned to talk back! Did you fall in love with this bi*ch too?!" he laughed. Then he grabbed her hand and said " now you come with me. From now you are also one of my slaves." The girl looked at others. Everyone was too scared to even care about her . " Just for whom did the real Shini fought and gave up her life ?! " she sighed. Joe was trying to say something but before that she kicked Adam in the leg and threw him onto the ground. " You wanna make me your slave!? I would like to see how. Come on, take me away. I'm standing right here. " She smirked as she crossed her arms. This sudden outcome of the event made the environment even more quiet. Even Adam and Joe both were speechless. Adam tried to stand up but his legs were still shaking. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He stuttered " di- did you just k- kick me?" The girl replied " yeah so?! what are you gonna do?? " Do you know I can punish you any second?!" he said in rage. " yeah whatever. Now shoo. " She replied. He put his arm up to slap her but Joe grabbed him by the wrist. Then pushed him back and punched him in the face. At the moment something more was happening. Mother and all the other villagers brought logs and sticks and axes, whatever they could find to fight Adam. Adam ran for his life and fled. Although he said to bring his Ming-Mings soon to avenge. But everyone was busy celebrating their victory, earned after a long time. Everyone was dancing and saying " we have won because of Shini. She brought us victory again." The girl looked at Joe. He was silent for some time but then he covered his eyes with his hands and sighed with a smile. She was quite surprised yet happy to see him smile that made her smile too. She though to herself " Shini, I don't know who you are. How much they believed in you. How much they loved you. But these people see you in me and believe in me. I don't know my past . What I know is they gave me a name. Your name. From now on I'll live for you, as you. And be their strength whom you held dearly. You can rest in me. From now on I'll be you." Then she proudly stepped forward towards the villagers along with Joe.
