Chapter 15
His father taught him how to ride on cycle, when he fell and his knee got injured, his father didn't scold him, he patted his back and wiped his tears, he was crying like he lost in life race, but his father told him, life is not that easy baby, you have to struggle a lot in life if you want to win the race.
And if you'll cry like this always then everyone will leave you behind, and everyone will try to take advantage of your innocent tears.
"That is why I m saying this to you, never show your tears and weaknesses to anyone, every time if you get hurt, grow up with more strength and then you'll s.h.i.+ne like a star in the world," said his father to him, and he got up with so much courage and prettiest smile on his face and he completely forgot his pain.
Ayan's childhood was most beautiful and he was the luckiest kid till he was seven years old, but after that one incident changed his whole life upside down.
It was his mother's birthday and his father arranged a party for her mother. His father was busy in arrangements and his mother was taking care of Ayan. Ayan's father was in so much love with his wife, they were together from their childhood and they fell in love and the age of 20 they got married. They could never bear the separation, not even for one day. They promised that only death can make them apart.
Ayan's house was so big like a mansion, after all his father was the most successful businessman in the city, so he bought this mansion for his wife, because since childhood, Ayan's mother liked big houses. Ayan was crying for playing in the garden but there was heavy rain outside,
Due to heavy rain, no guest came on time. Ayan was behaving so stubborn and he ran towards the terrace, he liked rain a lot. His mother was running behind him, but he didn't stop, he was teasing his mother and continuously running. His mother caught his collar from behind but because of rain, the floor was wet and his mother slipped and she couldn't make balance, she felled down from the terrace, the terrace was about to the fourth floor.
Ayan's body got numb and rigid, I couldn't understand what happened and how. When this news reached to Ayan's father he lost his senses, his wife left him all alone in this world. She was not only his wife, she was his life. He couldn't believe this. When he got to know what actually happened with her, he felt someone s.n.a.t.c.hed his soul from his body. He blamed Ayan for this, he cursed him for s.n.a.t.c.hing his life from him. He could never realized that Ayan was only a seven-year-old kid, how could he accused him for his wife's murder.
Ayan's father got mad, tears were continuously rolling down from his cheeks, he was not leaving his wife's body. Everyone was waiting for funeral rites but he was not allowing anyone to touch her body. Ayan's father's relatives and elders were trying to make him understand, that it's no one's fault, it was all destined. No one can stop the things which are already written to G.o.d.
"It's not Ayan's mistake, he is just a kid, please don't accuse him for all this", said Ayan's maternal aunty. But Ayan's father never believed to anyone. He was not ready to listen, anyone, he started behaving like a mental patient, he called high-cla.s.s doctors and told them to treat his wife, it was being so hard to control him because he started break house things.
Forcefully the doctor injected him chloroform, after that all relatives completed the funeral rituals without him. When Ayan's father came back to his senses, probably all relatives left, only close one was staying there, when he saw the reality he cried, he cried a lot, he cried himself to sleep.
Ayan was a little kid, he saw everything, he cried for his mother, he was a kid but he knows that he lost his mother forever. His maternal aunt was with him, he cried for hours on her lap. Ayan was too small to understand his father's condition, Ayan couldn't blame himself for his mother's death because he is too small for this. Ayan's aunt stayed with him for a few days, but she can't stay with him forever. These days Ayan's father didn't talk to anyone not even with Ayan.
When Ayan's aunt was leaving, she requested to Ayan's father that she is ready to adopt Ayan, she told him that she'll take care of him like her real mother, but Ayan's father never allowed her. Ayan was his father's only child, his father never send him far from him.
But now things were so changed. Ayan's father started hating him so much. Ayan's father couldn't accept the reality that he was left him, he became depressed. He started a.s.suming, he always a.s.sumes that his wife is with him, he started talking to her in his dreams. After so many treatments his father became normal but his behavior towards Ayan was still the same, he cursed Ayan all the time. Ayan's father started drinking alcohol, he started to beat Ayan without any reason. There was no one to stop him, Ayan was still a kid but he never stopped his father, not even once. Ayan used to cry alone, every night he cried himself to sleep. His father never changed, when Ayan was thirteen, his father adopted a baby girl, she was seven years old. Ayan's father started loving her so much, and his hate towards Ayan was increasing. Ayan left his father's house, his maternal aunt adopted him, and he started staying with here, after that day he never saw his stepsister.
