Story of a Little Girl


One fine evening , Rossy was all set to go out and enjoy her 12th birthday with his father.
Jacob has made fine arrangements for her birthday at LenoMelo amusement park. Rossy, wearing her favorite crimson red dress with a ribbon cap on her head , looking like a small cute princess , said to his father " shall we leave now , dad ? " Dad , who was waiting for a lady to arrive , replied softly , I am expecting Martha to be here in a minute or so, then we all leave together hon.Rossy sat on a couch next to her, lowering down her excitement.

Jacob didn't told rossy that Martha would also be joining and it looks like she is not happy with his dad's sole decision. Many thoughts were rolling out from the mind of rossy.
But sudden interruption broke her thought world.

"Happy Birthday Rosy" , Voice came through the open door , Martha was there. 

Before rossy could have given reply ,"Glad you came , Martha " said Jacob standing at the door. They hugged each other. Rossy holding a small brown teddy asked " Shall we leave now, Dad ? " .. "Yes Of course ,  Darling"  said Jacob.  He seems to be very excited.  They all three went outside of apartment. Jacob opened the gate of car for Martha..
"Thanks, Jacob" said Martha. Jacob got inside of car and said "Come inside, Hon" .. 
Rossy got inside of car. Rossy was getting disturbed exponentially because of special treatment given by his dad to Martha instead of her, after all it was her b'day...Again Rossy enters the thought world. Her imagination leading the way to see her b'day spoiling. she was not even happy that she is going to her b'day party. 

The car stops at LenoMelo park which also scatter her thought world. All three went inside. 

"It is very beautiful dad ", said Rossy.  Jacob has incorporated all the favorite things of rossy in this park.  There were many clowns , of different sizes , roaming here and there and distributing candies and cookies to everyone.  Many Parents were there with their children, all were enjoying. Small toy rides were there and children were enjoying on them to the fullest. It seems to like awesome evening, pure scenic beauty....

"Thanks dad , I love U " ....I was murmuring in my mind.  We enjoyed couple of hours there and now its time for cake ceremony . All families were gathered together and i was center of attraction . Finally the moment came, I cut the first piece of cake and after holding in my hand taking towards my father....

No, Dad was not there , I called him loudly , right he was not there.. Suddenly one of my uncle came and present his face infront of my hand...He ate some of it and took it from my hand and rest offer me back. 

I was shockingly seeing all this this. One more time i moved my eyes here and there then I realized  "What , Martha was also not there.. ". Is Dad left with Martha somewhere else.
 But it was my bday , How he could do this to me on this special day. Many thoughts were rolling into my mind. There was loud noise in the party but i can really hear pieces of my emotions scattering here and there. This was not the first time Rossy was encountering all this. After an hour, My uncle took me inside his car and dropped me home. He came inside my home along with me and offered me water. I instantly denied. "I cannot take this....Why he did this to me. It was my bday.". After 15-20 minutes of brainstorming thoughts , Door bell rang...here he is along with Martha....I have so many questions to ask....Explanation was needed...Before I could have initiated, Martha took him to his room. I Just cannot take it anymore. What was my mistake. After few minutes , Martha came out of his room and asked me whether i wanted anything. My facial expressions were very rude towards her and i walked towards my room and slammed the door very hard.

Silence continues for few odd minutes....

Martha to Uncle " Thanks for everything, Joseph" ...

Joseph : How is he now...??

Martha : Doc said the attack was bit of high intensity this time. he needs rest . God bless him.

Joseph : indeed ...God bless him...You always take good care of him...No other nurse could have have done this for him like this....Why can't jacob tell her daughter ??

Martha : She is yet not coped up with recent death of his mother. She gets panicked even hearing of diseases. She is so little, She can't bear this.

Joseph : This is so inhuman...God bless them... I should leave now, Martha.Take care.

Joseph Walks out. Martha closes the door silently crying from inside heart.
