Chapter 6 - A new relative?

As the woman was removing all the dried blood stains from the body with hot water, Anik was amazed at the number of bruises he had got after falling from the ditch. Some of the scratches were very deep, while at some places there were light scratches he could see over 100 of scratches and bruises all over his body. however Seeing the woman doing all this, it did not seem that this is her first time when she is healing someone's wounds, that means she was very expert in her work.

Well, it is all too common to get wounds and bleed, but it was surprising that even after pouring hot water on the wounds, Anik was not feeling any pain.

He felt that the aunty was doing such work that he should not feel pain, but he could not even feel the skin of his feet. Anik got a little scared seeing all this.

But the woman said, 'I know what you are thinking, you are thinking that why are you not feeling pain?' Anik said ''Yes, I am thinking that why am I not feeling the pain? But how did you know that I was thinking all this?'' Anik said in a surprised expression.

Hearing this, she laughed and said to the little boy, ''haha! For the first time everyone feels the same, that I am doing magic on them, but it is not so at all. There was an art in our ancient Indian history which used to heal patients by making them pain-free, but nowadays this practice has ended, that's why many people do not know this practice. Ancient India used to walk a lot ahead of today's time. With the help of modern science and mantras, even the biggest tasks were completed very quickly.''

Anik started getting interested in the techniques of ancient India after listening to all these things of that woman.

''He said really? Can you tell me more about it?'' The women smiled and said, of course, but not now, now you have to get well, after that I will tell you all about ancient times, okay?''

She gave a small smile and got up from her chair and started going out of the room as soon as she reached the door frame Anik in his soft voice asked ''what is your name Aunty?''

The woman said in forgetful way '' oh right! We didn't exchanged our introductions. okay so My name is Vaishika. Nice to meet you little one hope you will get wel soon!.

Anik said ''My name is Anik and I am 10 years old please tell me such stories everyday.''

She said happily ''Sure, whenever I will be freed from work I will make sure to tell you these amazing and beautiful stories''

Hearing this words Anik got happy and he leid down and regained his sense of his legs but pain was also streamed so he got passed out.
