While   Neena  was   taking  her  steps  to  better  her  destiny  through  short cuts ,Robin  and   Sara  were  living   the  life  of their  dreams  in the  arms  of  each other  .

Their   days  and  nights  were  encircled  by   the enchanting  spell  of  love  and  care  for  each  other .


They  were  feeling  like  a pair  of  birds   flying  higher  and   higher  into  the deep   blue  heart  of    unlimited  sky  where  no  one  is  around  to  bother  and  they   have  left  all  the  worries   far  behind them.Floating  above  the  clouds   they   were  touching  the  peak  of  joy  and   serenity.

It   was   a  September.  After   long  hot  summer  days  were  getting  normal  gradually  .Temperature  was  dropping  and  it  was  favorite   season  of the  Sara  because   in  it  the  weather  was   pleasant   without   being  much   hot  or  cold.   Though  rains  were  rare  but  whenever  they  came   Sara  and  Robin    enjoyed  them  together  .Robin    in  such  lovely  moments   dragged  Sara  out  of  the  room and     took  her   to  the  top  of the  roof ,where  they  get  wet  as  it  was  special  shower  of  love  for  them not  just  an  ordinary  rain.

Robin   knew  well that   being  a  village  girl   Sara  would   miss  her   beautiful  landscapes  during   the  rains  specially  .They   hold  each other  and  stood  under the  falling  rain  unconsciously   for  long. Those  were  the  moments  when  their  souls  seemed  to  dissolved   into    each  other  when  they  talked  much   without  saying  a  single  word .They  felt   they   have  became   ONE .It  is  just   the  mater  of  bodies  that  are  being   looked   as  they  are  separate .this  is  virtual  delusion  only , not  a  Real  truth actually .

He   tried  to  give  her  his  all  love  and  affection  that  his  heart  kept  in  it  for  so  long .By  going   against  the  rules  of  his  house  and  society  where  ladies  were  treated   on   secondary  positions  .Robin   pampered   Sara  like  a  child . Often  he  made  her  tea  or  meal . When  everyday  he  returned  from  office   he  found   Sara  waiting  for   him eagerly  .He  loved  the  shine  that  jumps  into  her  eyes  when  she  saw  him   and   It  always  made  him  happiest  man  in  the  whole  world .

So  it   was  September   when   Sara   came  to  know   that  she  is  three  months   pregnant.  First   that  news  feared  Sara   her   worries  and  concerns  were  so  many .But  she  also  felt  that  it    was  a  huge   blessing   for   her  beyond  her  imagination.  It  was   hard  to  believe  that  she  will  be  given  another  human being  through   herself  .Sensations  amazed  and  enthralled   her  nerves.  .

It  was   the  most  precious  gift  that  she  received  from  her  love  of  life .She  felt  a strange  strength  inside her  as  Robin ' s  soul  stepped  in  her  body .These  were   precious  feelings   difficult   to   define .



Robin  felt  out  of  the  world  when  he  heard that  Sara  is  expecting . It was  most  rich   and   amazing    day  for  him.  He    thought   that   How  lucky  i  am  !  I  have  a  woman  that  i love  and  now  our  baby  will   complete  our   beautiful  world  .The  sense  of   gratefulness   made  his   eyes   wet.  He  felt    fortunate  and  it  made  him  more  loving  for   Sara .It  seemed  that   he  wanted  to  keep   her  in  his   heart  to   protect  her   from   all  miseries.


Robin   had  a  government    job  and  according  to  rules  he also   had  to  joined  the   civil  defense   force  during  his  job . Such  selected    officers   had  to  join  a  one  month  training  along  real  army  officials and  soldiers   to  learn  how  to during  the  war  times  they have to  help  the civilians  and  how  to  use  arms  if  necessary .

In  the   last   week  of  November   Robin  received  invitation   letter  to  join  the  training   in  the  city  quite  far  from  their  own  city .It    was  the   letter  from  army  and  could   not   be  ignored  .Robin   had  to  go  for  it  anyway .  Sara   felt   terrible  to   hear   this   cried  silently because  she  knew  that   Robin  must   leave  with  peace  without   thinking  about  her worries   and  tears .

Sara   felt  as  some scratchy  hands  tearing  her  heart  while  she  said  goodbye   to  Robin .When  she  was  returning   to  home  from airport   she  felt  her   heart  very  empty  and  hollow .All  the  world   moving  around  her  was   foggy  and  meaningless .  She   was  praying  for  the  well being  of  Robin   though   deep  inside  her   heart   something    was  alerting   her  about  her  own  safety .
Robin  was  like   shelter  to  her  who  saved  her  from  all  the  pains  and  suffering   that  her  mother  in  law  Helda   wanted  to  cause  to   her.  Her  burning   eyes  were   terrifying  her  soul .

That  night   Sara  could   not  sleep .Her  body  and  soul  were  restless .She  looked  with  grief  and  pain  at   the  pillow  of   Robin  .Her  strong  wish   to  be  with  Robin   playing  tricks  to  her  imagination .She   felt  many times  as  Robin  is  laying  beside  her  along with  his  lovely    smile  and  love  showering  eyes .She   could  not  stop  herself  to  cry   for  long  .She    hold  his  pillow   tightly  against  her  chest  and  felt  bit   peace  .She  kissed    it  madly  as if  it was  Robin  himself .

At   one  moment  she  realized   that  Robin  will  be  sad  if  he  found  out  that  i  was  crying  as  much   and  could  not  keep  my  promise   to  be    strong   after   him  and  meet   him  healthy  and  happy  at  his  return.   Meanwhile  she   remembered   the  concern  of   Helda  that  she   showed  front  of  Robin  for  her  and  made  him  sure  that  she  will  take   good   care  of   Sara   in  his  absence .It   was   last   lonely   morning   star   shining  in  the  sky  when  Sara   fell  asleep  finally .

Next   morning   she  got  up  with  the  loud  noise  of   utensils   in  the  kitchen .She  saw  at  the  clock  it  was  hardly  8 am . She   could   sleep   for  hardly   three  hours  .She  tried   to  go  back  to sleep   but  the  terrible   noise   from   kitchen  near  her  room  did   not  let  it  happen.Her   head  was  aching  badly .She    gave   up  her   efforts   for   resting   and  got  up  from   her  bed. She   went   to  bathroom  to   take  bath  so  she  can  feel  better  but   there   was   no   water   in   tap.When   she   came  out  and  went  to  ask  about  it  from  Helda  who  seemed   back   in  her   evil   form  as  she  was   picking  up  and  putting  down  madly   that  was  creating  horrible  noise   in  the   house .  Her  eyes  hit   Sara   like  stones  or   burning   coals .Sara   felt  fright  crept  in  her  blood.
  

Sara   tried  to  look  normal   and  asked, ''  mom   should   i   switch on   the  water   pump  i  think   tank  is  empty  because  water  is  not  coming  from  tap'?

Helda  pretended   for  a  while  as  she  did  not  hear  Sara    later  she  replied  carelessly '.No   you   don't need to do this i will  check  it  myself.    Sara 's  sixth  sense   warned  her  that   this  month  will  be  quite   a  test   for  her   because  Helda   is   in  full   mood   to  make  her   suffer   with  each   little  thing  she  has  control  over.  But   Sara   promised  to  herself  that  she   will  not  inform   the  Robin  because   he   will   be  upset  and  might  be  try  to   come  back    and  by  doing  so could   be  punished   by  army as  it  was  against  their  rules .

And  days that       came  by  Helda  proved   that  she  has  no  fear  of   God  .No   fear  of  loosing   her  own  grandchild   or  causing  pain  in  the  life  her  own   beloved  son  Robin.  She  tried  to  broke  Sara  in   every  way .This  month   showed  her  real  cruel  face  to   Sara  that  she  used  to  only  imagine  before .Sara   was   not  allowed   to   take  bath  ,she    was   not   allowed  to  used  drink   filter  water  for  drinking .Sara   secretly   boiled  the  water  taken  from   Jeena  's  bath  room  and  used  it  for  drinking ,

Her   health  was  dropping  down  quickly  due  to  lack  of  food.She   was   given  only  half  cup  of  tea  in the  morning  with  a tiny  piece  of  cake  of  cheap  quality.  In  lunch   she  was  given  one  small  bread  with  gravy  of  pulse  or  potato .Dinner  was  a  single  bowl  of white  rice  often    without   salt.

But   above   all   that    caused  Sara   most   damage  was  her  lack  of  sleep .It   was   the  extreme   hate  of  Helda  that  she  did  not let   her  sleep  in  nights .When   everybody  else  was  at  rest  in  his  room  in  nights  Helda  stayed   close  to   the  window  of  Sara's   room  .She  would   stare  at  Sara  as  she  is  frightening  her  to  death  and  if  inspite   of  all  this  Sara  would     fell  in  sleep   Helda   would   create  a  sudden  loud   noise   by  dropping  something  heavy  on  the  ground  and  Sara  would   woke  up   horridly .To  avoid  this  Sara  tried  to  keep  the  window  shut  but   Helda  removed  the  locks  of  it ,she  also  spoiled  the  lock  of   door  too  and  now  there  was  no  way   for  Sara  to  escape  from  the   horror  of  her  mother  in  law.
   

It  was  shocking   that   in  this  whole  big  family   there  was  no  one  to  raise  his  voice  against  the  sins   and  cruelties  of    Helda . Though  the  wife  of  Robin's  younger  brother  Jeena   Pretend  to   be   sympathetic   with  Sara  but   Sara   realized  that   she  was  also  enjoying  the  pain  of   her  because   Jeena 's  husband  was  not  loyal   and  faithful  towards    Jeena   and   flirted with  Jeena's   younger  sister   so   love  of  Robin   for  Sara  made   her  a  huge  jealous   with  her .Though    all  were   at  the  side  of  Helda  except   her  husband    John  .the  uncle  of  Sara .

But   Helda  was  since  beginning  beyond    control  of  John  .She  was  an  orphan  who  brought  up  in  the  house  of   her   uncle   who  already  had  four  kids elder  then  Helda   ,That  family   treated  Helda  like  a  slave ..She  beard   inhuman  behavior  of   them  for  years  and  may  be  it  made  her  such  selfish  and  heartless  or  she  had  some  kind  of  inherited  gene  of  cruelty  already .  John  's parents   brought   Helda  as  wife  of  John  and  since  then  the  humble  and  gentle   John   was  facing  her   worsens in  his   life.   She   always  dishonored  him  front  of  his  own  children and  abused  him  for  being  less  earner .She  was  so materialistic  and  so  heartless  to  be  a caring  mother  for  her  kids.

Robin  was  the  only  man  in  the  house  who  earned  more  then  others  .Helda   was  enjoying  her  luxury  life  until  the  Sara  came  in  otherwise   Helda   did not  want   Robin  to  get  married .  she  wanted  him  to  stay  single  and   give   all  his  income  in  her  hands.  But  Sara   ruined  all  her  dreams.Now  Helda   also  could  not  bear  the  loving   attitude  of  robin  towards  Sara  as  it  was  her  weak  point  the   thing  that  she  never  had  in  her  life  she   could  not  see   in  the  lives  of  people  around   her .

Now   Helda and  his  eldest   son   Doel  who  was  just  like  her  made  the  plan to  throw  Sara  out  of  Robin's  life  and  it  was  possible  only  when  Sara   leave  the  house  with  her  own  will because  they knew  very  well  that  Robin  will  not  leave  her  at  any  cost.So  they   gave  her  toughest  time  of  her  life .Sara   became  so weak  ,.Her   physical  and  mental   health  were  critical .  She  felt  fainted  all  the time .The  biggest  fear  of  her  was  that  it  can  cause  harm  to   her  expected  child .

But   in   all   such   situations   she  remained  unshaken   and  made  herself  to  survive  just  because  she  believed  that  Robin  loves  her  so  much  ,sooner   or  latter  time  will  be  passed   and   he  will  be  back.And  the  moment  she  will   see  him  her  wounds  will  heal.Her  all  pains  will  leave .

 And  she  will  be  safe   and  cozy  in  his  arms.
