ROSE'S POV:

As per Mr. Miller's instruction, I got into my bed. Cathy, Eva and Jason are with me, Oliver and Watson is with Daniel. Then Mr. Miller looked into my eyes. He is saying something but I can't hear it. Then I slowly closed my eyes…

PAST …

ROSE'S POV:

Today is same as every day. I completed every work in the orphanage and went to school. As always no one talked to me nor did I want them to, so then I went straight to the orphanage. Bella is not here. If she saw me here she'll start to give me works. I have to complete my assignment. So I got ready and went to the store situated in the next street, as I want to buy something for my assignment. I'm doing one small online job, so that I can buy my necessities. I also bought some cookies, as I didn't eat anything for the whole day. No, I didn't waste my food. Bella didn't give me breakfast and at school she stopped me from going for my lunch. I know she'll not give me dinner also. No worries I'll eat this cookies. As I'm walking down the street, I saw one boy sitting in the road side bench with his face in his hands. He looks elder than me. I can't able to see his face, but I'm sure he is in problem. So I went near him and sat beside him. I think he didn't notice me. He is still in the same posture. So I cleared my throat to gain his attention. He lifted his head up and looked at me. He has Deep Green eyes. It's beautiful. Then I asked him…

Me: Do you need any help.

(I think he didn't hear me. He is just looking at me. So I waved my hands in front of him to gain his attention. He came out of his trance)

Boy: What?

Me: Do you need any help. It looks like you're in some big problem.

Boy: Yeah. I think I'm the only one who is having this kind of problem in the world.

Me: If you don't mind, you can share with me. I'll try my best to solve your problems.

Boy: Nothing. It's just the people in my orphanage uses me to do their works. I have to do everything they order me.

(Bingo. This is the same problem I have. I think I have to boost up his courage).

Me: You didn't eat anything right.

Boy: How do you know?

Me: I can guess.

(Then I took the cookies I bought and hold it in front of him. I can sleep tonight with empty stomach. No problem)

Boy: I think you bought this for yourself.

Me: You're right. I bought this for myself but now I'm giving it to you. They didn't let u to eat right.

Boy: How are you guessing everything correctly?

Me: General Knowledge.

(I don't want him to know my situation. If I told him then I'm sure he'll not eat these cookies)

Boy: Hmm…

Me: Okay now have these cookies.

Boy: No. Thank you for asking. But this is yours.

(He is stubborn but I too. I opened the packet and took one cookie and hold it near his mouth. He is looking at me in shock)

Me: Open your mouth.

(He slowly opened his mouth and I fed him the first cookie. He didn't say anything so I continued to feed him. At the final cookie, he opened his mouth and asked)

Boy: You didn't have any cookie?

Me: It's okay. I'll buy another packet tomorrow, and I'm also not hungry.

(I lied to him, I'm starving).

Boy: Oh okay.

(Then I feed him the last cookie. Now he is smiling a little).

Me: You look good when you're smiling. So just smile at your problems and let it go.

Boy: Who are you? I mean what is your name?

Me: We just met some minutes ago. If we meet next time then I'll tell you my name. Bye.

(I got up from the bench but he held my hand)

Boy: Thank you.

(He gave one bright smile)

Me: Don't thank me. Promise me that you'll always smile and try to live your life. You can't just sit like this, you have to get up and go ahead. This is your life. You only can live this life to the fullest. Search for some good job so that you will have your own money.

Boy: I'm already doing many jobs. But I'm saving that money. If I able to save enough money I can leave that hell.

Me: Okay. Then don't stop until you get what you want.

(He looked at me sometime then nodded his head)

Boy: I'll not.

(I smiled and said bye and left the place. I have to go to the orphanage as soon as possible. Otherwise Bella will start to torture me. I walked as fast as I can. I reached the orphanage with 5 minutes. No one noticed me. So I started to do my regular works. But I know I Have a small smile playing on my lips).

DANIEL'S POV: (present hypnotizing time)

Mr. Miller is looking into my eyes and saying something, but I can't able to hear what he is saying soon I got into a deep slumber.

Past continues…

This is just a normal day. Nothing changes at all. As normal I got up did every work orphanage people gave and went to my normal jobs. I didn't get any food in the orphanage. I have money, but I want to save each and every penny so that I can leave that hell called orphanage. It's already evening; I have to go for another work within 1 hour. I'm walking there only. I'm starving now, but I don't have anything to eat. I want to relax sometime, so I sat on the nearby bench for some rest. My head is paining like hell. I sat there holding my heads in my arms. After sometime, I heard someone clearing their throat. So I lifted my head to look who it is. I saw a small girl she must be younger than me looking at me with the true concern in her face that too for me. First time in my life I saw something like that. Her eyes are hazel brown. Beautiful. But she looks weak. She is asking me something but I'm only looking at her, Lost. She waved her hands in front of me. I came out of my trance.

Me: What?

Girl: Do you need any help. It looks like you're in some big problem.

Me: Yeah. I think I'm the only one who is having this kind of problem in the world.

Girl: If you don't mind, you can share with me. I'll try my best to solve your problems.

Me: Nothing. It's just the people in my orphanage uses me to do their works. I have to do everything they order me.

(She went silent for some time. She is thinking some thing. Then suddenly she asked…)

Girl: You didn't eat anything right.

(How does she know?).

Me: How do you know?

Girl: I can guess.

(Then she took something from her bag. Its cookies. She holds that packet in front of me. She is giving the cookies she bought to herself to the stranger. She is pure)

Me: I think you bought this for yourself.

Girl: You're right. I bought this for myself but now I'm giving it to you. They didn't let u to eat right.

Me: How are you guessing everything correctly?

Girl: General Knowledge.

(How is she guessing everything correctly? General knowledge, I don't think so)

Me: Hmm…

Girl: Okay now have these cookies.

Me: No. Thank you for asking. But this is yours.

(She asked me to eat those cookies. Even if I'm starving, I don't want to eat that. She bought that for herself. Then she suddenly opened that packet. I thought she is going to eat that, but she took one cookie and hold it near my mouth. I looked at her in shock).

Girl: Open your mouth.

(No one, I mean this is the first time someone is trying to feed me in my memory. I don't know who did this when I was a child. I think some care taker or anyone. But now this girl here is trying to feed me. I slowly opened my mouth and she started to feed me. I don't know what got into me. I want her to feed to everything. At the last cookie I asked her)

Me: You didn't have any cookie?

Girl: It's okay. I'll buy another packet tomorrow, and I'm also not hungry.

(I don't know why, I feel like she is lying. But also there is no reason for her to lie to me)

Me: Oh okay.

(Then she feed me the last cookie. Somehow I smiled a little after a long time).

Girl: You look good when you're smiling. So just smile at your problems and let it go.

Me: Who are you? I mean what is your name?

(I don't know why I suddenly asked her like that. But I want to ask her)

Girl: We just met some minutes ago. If we meet next time then I'll tell you my name. Bye.

(She got up from the bench but I hold her hands)

Me: Thank you.

(I seriously want to say that to her. And I gave her a bright smile)

Girl: Don't thank me. Promise me that you'll always smile and try to live your life. You can't just sit like this, you have to get up and go ahead. This is your life. You only can live this life to the fullest. Search for some good job so that you will have your own money.

Me: I'm already doing many jobs. But I'm saving that money. If I able to save enough money I can leave that hell.

Girl: Okay. Then don't stop until you get what you want.

(I looked at her for some time. After what she said to me I'll definitely not stop until I get what I want. So I nodded my head)

Me: I'll not.

(Then she left the place with the smile. I'm also smiling now. Now I feel full and fresh. I want to give some nick name to her. SUNSHINE. Yes her nick name is Sunshine. I wish I'll meet her again. Then I got up and start walking to my work with the smile in my face).
