Birds were just twitting and a sweet sound of Azaan came from somewhere when she woke up...
Fiza felt something heavy on her hand. That's when she saw....her dad, just beside her, sleeping soundly with his head down on her hand. Why her dad is here???wait....what exactly happened???
Then again she tried to get off from the bed. But she felt as if her body was floating. Now, she understood the whole situation. Whenever she faces a bad fever, she feels like this. She saw a bowl of water with an immerged towel in it.
Yet, she slowly gets off from her bed. It's too early in the morning...But she didn't feel to lay down more. So she just walked towards the window and opened it...
An upcoming winter morning breeze started to play with her hair....
The sleeping world is always beautiful. Neither there is harsh cruelty nor selfishness....What peace(!)
...............................
-I've hired a per time maid. She will come here from now on to the clean house and make both lunch and dinner.
Fiza nodded her head.
-I am leaving now....
Fiza stares at her father with a bona fide eye...
-I will have my lunch on the way.
Suddenly she felt as her heart is empty. Why is she feeling like that??? Why her heart is aching so much?? She is quite used to with loneliness....then what happened now???
-I will soon contact you.
She grinned. Fake consolation(!) How could that be....She is not even allowed to use a phone yet. Her name is under redlined by the government. So, there is no chance of contact....is there??
Wazib saw her reaction but didn't say anything and left.
............................
Some days went by....Still, there was no trace of contact.
Most of the day she stays at home till noon....
The maid came actually. Her name is Runa. She really doesn't have any idea from where the hell her father found her. Cause the girl is way too talkative. As if talking is her Oxygen and she can't live without it. But Fiza can actually tell that Runa apa is a good girl....at least....her three years experience is saying that.
"YOU HAVE A BABY GIRL??"
Fiza wrote to her...Even though she was a little confused if she knew reading. But surprisingly she read it perfectly.
-Yes,apu....She is in kindergarten school. But she is very naughty...It's very tough to send her there....blah blah...
"WHERE DOES SHE STAY WHEN U WORK HERE...?"
-She stays at home...her father goes to work. So, there is no one to look after her so she stays at home...and roams wherever she wants...
"U CAN BRING HER HERE SOMETIMES....IF U WANT..."
Runa's eyes sparkled. She didn't think that...that this girl would be kind enough to allow poor her child in this house. Runa actually worked in many houses....but they never allowed her child even when it's emergency.
-Are you sure??? she is a very naughty girl....
Fiza replied to her a YES with a gentle smile...
[*Apa/apu = means big sister or refers to any lady who is a little bit older than you]
.........................
At home,
Fiza was really confused and unable to understand from where to start....?? Her father left her nothing but a small laptop. She applied to some offers as a content writer and article writer on Upwork,Fivver though. But alas! There is no response from any client...
Carrying a lot of disappointment, she came out from her flat to visit a nearby park. The park is full of kids and their parents. It's actually very rare to have a park for children nowadays...It's really wondering how come there is a park here!!! Well, she heard that there is a famous school in this area.....most of the students of the school belongs to rich families. Maybe the park's land is actually under the school...
She most often visits it as a refreshment from her regular lonely life. At least she can drive out the memories that she faced in jail just for a little time.
She also came here today, as usual, the way she always comes...
-Do you know what is this???
