Chapter 1
I am Prisha and I am 23 years old, quite young, I know probably the age when you enjoy life and follow your passion but I was never meant to do any of these things. I lost my father few days back. The man I loved so much is gone. My mom has been indifferent since then. She is hardly eating,responding and drinking. The trauma has made her mentally paralysed. My parents loved each other so much. We were a happy family but now everything has changed. Life is not the same as it was. It is early morning and I have to prepare the breakfast as well so I got up from the bed and went to take a bath. As I opened the shower drops of warm water washed my naked skin. Every drop left a sensation which gave me goosebumps. The sound of water hitting the bottom overshadowed my cries. No one is there to listen if I am crying so what's the use of the sound of water falling down. I turned off the shower and draped my body in a towel. After putting some clothes I went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. I don't like crying in front of people so I do it when I am alone.
It has been almost one week since the tragedy. My father was the only breadwinner in our family so I have to find a job. Life is the most strangest thing ever. You don't know what might happen in some days. Somedays cost so much that its impact lasts a lifetime. Dad got killed in a car accident. While he was leaving he asked me to take care of mom. I am a girl but he raised me as a boy. If I am strongly facing life today the reason behind it is him. He told me once "the day you lose hope is the day you lose in life". Whenever I feel sad I think about dad and the misery vanishes because he wants me to stay brave. Mom is completely disconnected from the outer world. She has become weak and pale. I took her to doctor yesterday. He gave certain medicines. I hope she gets alright as soon as possible. When the food got cooked I fed mom and gave her the medicines.She slept after that. I took my food in my room. I was searching for jobs in my laptop simultaneously and found nothing special or relevant. I did graduation in architecture which was something I really wanted to do. Another bite and I finished eating but couldn't find anything suitable. As I got up from the bed with plate in my hand the door bell rang. Wondering who can be at this hour I curiously went to open the door. As I opened it.....
