Chapter 2 - Isa “Icha” Isha Part I

In the city of Mumbai, there are students who are getting ready to go to bed for school. Some students are are going to "sleep". Some students are in bed but can't go to school due to sickness but not the coronavirus because it wasn't a whole wide pandemic when the story was first created. Some students are staying up late doing late minutes essay or studying for a important test. Some people are going to bed for work early in the morning. Some of them are students who putting their education behind so they can help support their family. Some people are partying all night forgetting the responsibility they had and waking up with a horrible headache. The rules applied to the Isha household as everybody is still awake for different reasons.

Inside of the apartment #419 of Riverside, is a house you could tell it have the potential to be clean if there wasn't you know a broken floor. Oh and don't forgot about the sink's major breakout causing you to swim instead of walk. Oh by the way that was just the kitchen area.

In the room of the unmarried, you see one giant purple mattress and three pillows. The only source of light was a tiny lamp. At the corner of the room are three black backpack with a tag telling who it belong to. Only one of them have a tiny white lion clip in it.

The only personal thing in the room is a homemade wooden photo frame. The frame have flower all around it and each corner have three hearts, a big one and two little one next to the big heart. In the frame are three photos each holding special memory.

The photo on the left is a crazy family photo at the beach. The father's face turned red out of pure laughter as he point at his wet son and daughter. The wet boy was bawl out his eyes and beautiful teenage girl with a Dutch braided hair try to comfort him with words and a big hug around his slender body. The wet girl was hold back by two male teenage despite her being smaller and younger than the teenage she still gave them a good fight. The little girl glare at the other wet child with a storms raging on in her big ocean eyes. Next to the father, is the mother looking down at her baby like "They are very foolish my dear son! Don't be like them!". The baby just raise his small fat arms up and swinging them around. Another teenage girl look at the baby like he was the most important person in the world. In fact, she look like if the baby die she will kill everybody in the room then herself. Even her elder parents agree with her! Don't believe me then look in their eyes!

On the right side is a photo of the wet boy but older and not wet. He is wearing a graduation clothes. The classic black oversized gown and the usually hat but what isn't normal in this photo is young women next to him. She was beautiful despite how messy she looked. Her untidy crown braided hair look like she was electrical. The women's glasses hanged on her nose waiting to be push up. She even wear a pink tank top and ripped blue jeans to a graduation party. She would get a lot of lecture form everybody. She only got away from it from the brightness of her face as she gave the graduation boy a present. The now graduated high schooler look at her with happiness as he think about the future.

In the middle of the photo frame is a little sailor boy with curly black hair and dark grey color eyes growing bigger as his adorable grin. His father is running down the rail if the ship he is working in, opening his mouth like a whale, and talking his shirt off.

The room next to the unmarried is the newlywed's room. The room seen bigger than the other one only because it just have less objects in it. The room only have two white mattresses and pillows, a laptop and a tiny mandir with Lord Krishna in it.

The next room's door is opening and revealing a pregnant women for twins. The women seem like she is in her retirement age with her gray hair and wrinkled face but her dark gray eyes and how agile she is prove otherwise. Though why does she need to be so fast while wearing her blue night dress with stars in them?

The mother of five children and two more hopefully coming went to middle where Riverside held social gatherings. There she meet a women who hair look like it haven't been brush in months. Her eyes look like it was ready to fall asleep. The tired women was wearing a pink nursing uniform with a tag at the right side. The pink tag have her name, Linda , have little Cupids with his bow and arrow, hearts, and little stars.

"Kaushalya...why are....you he- "before Linda could finished her sentence a yawn came out.

"Sorry Ms.Linda but I really am worried about my babies," Kaushalya whispered into the cold night.

"It is nice to yawn worry about your babies' health but you already have five strong kids especially Icha," Linda replied. "She have to be the strongest out of our entire children. And she is just 16 but already done plenty errands to earn about 66 hundred rupees! Now Icha's cooking skill is inferior to your and Ibhi but- "

"Have Isa ask you to convince me about living with Bharata in America?" Kaushalya stated knowing the answer.

"Kaush I understand you are worrying about Icha because of your...husband. But this will be the only way of her moving on with her life," Linda said.

"I would...th-think about it," Kaushalya said.

Linda smile as she thought about how happy the blue eyes angle would be and curious of who and what would to make her become a demon again. Linda heard shivering and like any reasonable person she said, "Let's continued talking inside."

Kuashalya smile at the nurse with gratitude. She and Linda walk to Linda's red jeep. When Linda start the engine, Kaushalya ask innocent, "Linny do need some foods for the bird living in your hair?"

"THIS IS WHY ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN ARE REINCARNATED OF A DEMON!!!!!!"
