Sonu was standing with her father and looked excited as she saw many children playing on the orphanage grounds . She wanted to go play with them when suddenly she heard her father call her name .
" Dear Sonu do you like this place?"
Sonu found this a bit weird because her father unusually never talked to her in such a sweet manner but as she was just a child she didn't care about it she just nodded her head with excitement in her eyes.
" Yep papa I like this place there are soo many friendssh here I want to play with them all ! "
She said with wobbly words she looked so cute and innocent while saying that the caretaker lady's eyes were filled with tears. Why would someone be so cruel to a child to leave them like this to suffer their whole life from the trauma .
" So sweetie from now on you will live here ! With all these friends ok "
he said while raising his voice . Sonu was dumbfounded no matter how innocent a child is he/ she will never want to leave their parents side .
Sonu quickly started to shake her head
" Noo no I will hah not leave mama and papa nooo papa pleash"
the little child was scared out of her wit , she wobbled these words again and again with tears rolling down her cheeks . The delicate face was puff red from the crying.
" We don't have money to raise you !! Either way you are of no use to us instead we would have to shoulder your marriage dowry burden and I can't afford it so stay here "
he was yelling loudly seeing this the lady had enough she wasn't able to tolerate such behaviour towards a child when the caretaker lady said
" Sir please be gentle she is just a child "
he looked at the lady and took a deep breath and turned to Sonu again and said in a soft tone.
" Don't be selfish think of your small little brothers we will come to visit you on your birthday every year !! Just stay here we can't afford three children ok you don't want your brother's daying because of hunger right so stay here can't you do this it's such a small thing don't be selfish "
Sonu was rooted to her place she didn't know how to react anymore .
Then Sonu's father said goodbye to Sonu and left without even looking back .
The caretaker lady saw this but she was not able to say a word , she had taken care of many children she saw how these small innocent souls were left on their own it was always heartbreaking to see these innocent souls to be left in dark but she would always feel proud when these little cheeks would grow in a beautiful bird and take a flight in sky , many children here are on now an reputable post like police and government job officer. she knew that one day this small little seedling will flourish in a beautiful tree and heal herself on her own .
She approached the little toddler and crouched to her height and looked at Sonu's eyes with sympathy and without saying a word took her hand and took her to see the orphanage .
After a week ....
In the morning Sonu was getting ready for the school with other kids. Since she came here she never really talked with other kids.
And the children also didn't approach her because they already had many friends to play with so no one bothered to talk with her .
Sonu had a dull face when she was packing her bag for school when suddenly small footsteps were heard Sonu looked down and saw a pair of tiny shoes She slowly looked up and saw a girl standing with a gentle smile on her face it was Rani .

hey sweeties I know you feel afraid to leave and say goodbye to someone today I also felt like that but my mother said never be someone's option even if you can't become their choice.
your world's resolve around you , you are the sun of your life's solar system don't become a minor asteroid for a planet who doesn't deserve you .
be alone and burn like the sun instead of floating aimlessly around a small planet
right sweeties ?
