Hearing Lilia scream, her mother rushed to the garden where she saw her daughter lying on the ground. She was so terrified that she immediately called for help. When Lilia opened her eyes she was in the hospital receiving treatment to lessen her pain.Her father and mother were talking to the doctors. "How is this possible? What are you trying to say? What is wrong with our daughter? "She heard their conversation as she slowly began to fall asleep again. The next morning when Lilia opened her eyes she saw her mother crying beside her bed. "Mother,why are you crying?"Did something happen?Did father say he won't buy you the new dress that you liked?"Lilia asked her mother who was crying but suddenly gave her a smile, hearing her last question. Before her mother could say something, Lilia's father, Mr. Abraham, entered the room.He looked worried because all the doctors suggested him to keep her situation a secret,but he knew that his daughter was brave enough to face it,besides he thought that Lilia had every right to know about her own self.He sat down on Lilia's bed,by her side,he held his daughter's hand and his wife's in his both hands and began speaking, "You know that you all are my treasure,for me my family is my life and no matter what happens I am always with you." "Lilia,You know I never treated you like my daughter, to me you and your sisters are like my sons. Even braver and wiser than your brothers.I talked to your doctor before coming here . He said," They don't know what is wrong with you. It's" surely not cancer or anything that we know of. When they examined you they found nothing.He said they have never seen a case like yours.They are sending your reports to the higher-ups to find a solution as soon as possible. Until then we have to wait. The only help they can provide you right now are pain relievers." Lilia looked at her father's face . She could see all the worries.She couldn't stop herself from consoling them, "Mother,Father, don't worry. I am alright now,and don't believe what those quacks say to you. I'm gonna live a long life,I will die after seeing-off all the doctors here..Hahaha" Her parents felt relieved seeing her so cheerful. Lilia was discharged after a few days of examination. When they entered the house,a surprise party was waiting for them. "What am I seeing! Both of you said that you have natural beauty.Now I caught you red handed,"Lilia said,as she laughed so much when she saw her brothers with beauty masks on their faces. When they saw Lilia, they rushed towards their rooms in a hurry. They thought Lilia would be discharged at Noon and reach home in the evening.To their surprise, she was discharged in the morning and they reached home at noon.Until then all the decorations were done,the only thing left for them was to get ready.While Lilia and her sisters were laughing like crazy, their brothers were finishing up in a hurry.(Lilia had two sisters and five brothers. They saw her second elder brother Kai and her younger brother Andrew with masks. Andrew looks like he is older than Lilia because of his height. Both of her brothers were laughing when they came out.) When finally all of them were done laughing,her elder brother told her that he was sorry because he could not visit her. He was so busy with the shop.As for her younger brother, he was hostalized,so his parents didn't want to make him worry.So they kept it a secret until yesterday. And her elder sister had to stay home to take care of her younger siblings. Lilia and her elder sister Lucy looked exactly alike, except for the eye color. Lucy had brown eyes. They all congratulated Lilia on her discharge from the hospital.Lilia and her family decided to tell them half of the story. They told them that Lilia had malnutrition because she was busy studying and that she forgot to take proper care of herself. Her siblings had prepared a chocolate cake,Nuggets,Cold drinks and finally her favourite dish, Baryani Rice.They enjoyed it so much.By the end of the day, all of them were exhausted. The next morning, Lilia told her parents that she wanted to go back to her hostel, as she was absent for a week. At first they didn't agree to her but she convinced them saying "Mother,father don't worry I am perfectly fine and I am also taking my medicine regularly,besides my finals are after two weeks from now,I already wasted one week, now I don't have anymore time to play around.Please understand my situation. I need your support right now." All the preparations were done and she packed all her stuff.At 12 : 30 PM, Lilia and her brother reached the bus stop. The bus was late today. "See the bus is late today, they probably know about your weight and don't want to pick you up.Look its 12:45 God is telling you not to go; if you stay, I will give you my share of rice." Her brother was constantly trying to convince her to stay a little longer. The bus arrived at 12 : 55 . She said goodbye to her brother and rode on it.When she arrived at her hostel all of that looked like a dream . All the hostel fellows came to ask her about her health.she was very happy because of their visits. But the next day when she entered her classroom she could hear whispers behind her back. Even her friends were avoiding her as if she was contagious, she was shocked by their behavior because she helped every one of them when they needed it the most she never rejected anyone's requests, even if she had to go through trouble....She helped them.And that's what she gets in return. She turned quite all of a sudden and although she could hear all their talk,she didn't say a word and just looked at the blue sky. "Ana is absent today,I wonder what would she think about me? Will she avoid me ? I think she will hate me now like all the others" She was wondering about tomorrow when she will meet Ana. What would she say to her? Was this the start of her troubles?
