Day 1

"There was I !"-I screamed in my head as I was visiting the labyrinth of past memories. I was quietly sitting beside the window in my small room. Our house was a modest household like most of the people in my small town had. One bedroom, one small kitchen, one bathroom and one living room. I would be destined to hell if I say that I loved that entire setup. I did not really hate the place or my home. But, there was something about the place that made me itch for bigger, better and more comfortable setting. A setting whom I could call my home, very proudly. I was by no means looking for a luxurious and plush life but, yes I was always ambitious.

So, I start looking outside the window and the expressions on my face clearly say that I enjoyed the view. I was thoroughly enjoying the joy of watching raindrops dancing on my front porch.

It was this day that I first saw Leelavati. A doe-eyed, short hair, slightly plump and average height girl. She must be of 10 years at that time. When I first saw her I could not see anything really different or great about her. She seemed to be a simple girl like any girl of her age. With time I realized that it was totally true. She was mischievous yet holistic in nature, probably like most of the other kids of her age. Neither was she too patient or helpful by nature that she could take anybody's any kind of crap in order to be helpful and nice. But, she never denied help if she could help without affecting herself. And, it was not really rare. She did not really had a beautiful face but, she never really cared about it. In fact, once when we were young enough to talk some adult talks, I noticed that she never looked the mirror more than once a day.

All in all, she was an average girl, an average student and an average prankster. She never really had many secrets. Well, that is what I thought till few months back!
