"Amma forbade us . You had your life . Ma had her own . It was only now when we were helpless that I called you . Your Uncle doesn"t know about it yet . " The words tore her heart .

"Your uncle is a normal worker . We couldn"t afford her treatment . " She said and left in a hurry . Her steps were messy somewhat shaky .

Her word held truth . Aunt treated grandma with respect . She was her mother-in-law, the elderly in the house .

"Cough . . . cough" A weak gasping came from behind her . Reeya got to her Grandmother and held her weak hand . A cold sensation stirred her . She didn"t know what to do .

After a crazy bout of cough, Amma seemed to have calmed down . All the while she held grandma"s, cold palm .

"Amma, I am here . You will get well soon . " She bowed her head and kissed her forehead . A drop of tear landed on it .

It was a wonder she still had tears to cry . She though her tear glands have stopped working .

Reeya had hurt this person"s heart . Grandma hid this big thing from her . Was she still angry with her?

She was eighteen when she left home, those years she called and visited grandma during weekends .

One day she announced her decision to join the firefighting group . That day not only her uncle, aunt but her Grandma was furious . Giving them no right to interfere in her life, she made the decision . Since that time Uncle never talked to her .

The profession of a firefighter was opposed by her family . They didn"t contact the defiant, not a filial daughter .

Grandma would contact her behind their backs . Whenever she called grandma would always pressure her to change her job or tell her to be alert about Victor . Those times she would get irritated by her doubts . Slowly, the calls became less and less . Only later she realized this sharp woman had the foresight

Amma was her mother, father her family, her world . She was the lighthouse to her lost s.h.i.+p .

Reeya had already lost her mother, father, her love now . . .

Don"t rob the one who has already been robbed . She looked up at G.o.d .

From the time Victor entered heer life, he gave her hope . She moved out to a new flat . Amma opposed their relations.h.i.+p . As stubborn as she was, she gave him her trust . Victor who she saw as her closed one crushed her heart and faith .
