Chapter 1
Nishanthi POV :
6 years old, that's right I'm 6 years old. My dad had gone out and he came back home with a broken back, my mom was pregnant with my second younger brother, my two older sisters were with our grandparents, me, my younger brother, my mom and with her pregnant belly took our dad to a herbal doctor, we travelled 4 hours in train to get to the doctor with my dad unable to walk or sit properly.
We live in a village, with a simple village life. Its amazing, its very beautiful, even the people are so supportive, kind and caring. My grandparents were adored by the villagers, they never hurt a single soul and the kindest people ever.
*1 month later*
we had to stay with the doctor for a month and today we are going back home, we went back home to see the government had taken our home and our land to build a factory.
"please don't do this to us I have 5 children what will I do? where will I take them?" my mom began to cry
"don't worry we will give you a better land and a better house in a another place" the man who stole our home said to my mom
"where? how long do we have to travel?" my dad asked the man
"about 30 mins from here" the man said
my dad turned to me " Nishanthi dear why don't you go and pack your bags we are going to go to a new house, a better house" he said lovingly
"ok dad, mom can I take baby brother with me" I asked my mom
"of course dear" she handed me my 4 year old brother
"be careful" they both said
I went inside the house sat my baby brother and started to pack things I can. After a while mom and dad joined me, there's not much to pack we had few things but we had what was necessary.
Until our new house was ready we had to go to our grandparents house.
*3 months later*
