Money or Love : What will be your choice

The story starts from a normal morning scene in a normal old house . That wooden floor , some windows , a cracking sound making door and some hangings making a peaceful sound due to the morning breeze .

An old man , not really old, just near his fifties slowly opened his eyes as the sun rays were torturing him . He took a small breath and turned his face towards his right side , there was no one, just a pillow was there . He moved his hand inside the pillow and took out a photo , looking at the photo a smile came on his face.

"hmm good morning jaan , love you and miss you too . " The man said in his sweet voice while kissing the photo.

He looked at the photo for some time and remembered some sweet memories . A smile came on his face , he again kissed the photo and kept it on it's place inside the pillow .

He got up from the bed , there was a baby crib just near a big window . There were toys and everything which a baby needs but there was no-one . He went near it and sat down by taking its support . There was another photo in a toy's hand . He took it out and looked at it with a big smile.

"Good morning princess , love you very very much more than your mom ...hmm..." He said while looking at the other photo . He started laughing but he stopped . His eyes became moist and he again looked at the photo.

" You know princess , Daddy misses you a lot . Whenever I see your toys and each thing related to you all the moments become fresh like they just happened yesterday . Your dad loves you a lot more than anyone , more than anything and I know the princess also loves his dad very much hmm . " These were the only words that came out from his mouth with moist eyes .

Saying he rested his head on the crib and looked at the photo for sometime and then he got up . He placed the photo at its place and left . With a smile he cleaned the house , got fresh and then made his breakfast . He sat on the dining chair, he was alone, no one was there with him but there was a smile on his face which was coming from the memories he had .

Somewhere else .....

A young teen girl was standing on the road covered with black cars and some muscular men wearing black . They all were standing with folded arms looking at her .

"hii you all, why are you looking at me like this ? I said na I will not come with you then why are you all standing here ? Go , go , go from here , I said go."

The girl screamed out these words in a frustrated manner . All the men who were around her looked at her in disappointment.

"Mam listen we have orders to take you with us , so mam please come with us . "One of her guards said in hope that she would come .

"keep your orders just with you . I am not going anywhere , what will I do after going there ? No one cares for me there and now it's my final decision . So go and tell your mam and my so called mom that I am not coming and that's final . No more discussion ." She said as she was not willing to go anywhere and frustration was clear in her voice

"You are not coming ?"

"no ..."

" really?? "

" Yes ...."

"Ok boys ..let's go ...

This was the only conversation which took place between the guard and that girl but listening the last words by her guard the girl looked at him with widely opened eyes ..

" What!!! Are you going?"

"Yes mam "

For it the girl was going to say but before it they all sat in the car and left from there .

" Hii , hii you all where are you going ? Listen can't you ask one more time ?" She shouted but this time there was sadness in her voice .

Now she was all alone on the road under hot sun . She looked at the sun.

" Hiiii you , why are you burning so hot , can't you see that a beautiful girl is standing under you? What will happen to her skin hmm. " She screamed on the sun too as now she was very frustrated .

After some time ....

" Okay you also don't want to give me a reply ok . I will not ask again ." The girl said .

She kicked the road in anger but it hurted her back , she held her leg and started dancing in pain . After sometime of her drama she looked at the bench which was there at the other side of the road, she went near it and sat on it .

 " ohh god what's your problem with me ?"

 Hi hello everyone , so how are you all ? I know you all are fine , so you read all that hmm. So it all happened that day when I ran away from my house and my guards came to take me back. Well don't think I am dramebaaz , I had to do all that. Ohh one minute one minute , I didn't tell you about me hmm , ohh I know I am duffer , so listen I am Shikha , Shikha Singhania daughter of a big businessman and a world famous model . So are you thinking why that all? hmm what I tell you . I had each and everything which everyone wants but I never got one thing and that was my parent's attention , ok love was too much far away but I just wanted their attention but they didn't have time 

When I was small I had not one , not two , three , four but many toys . My whole room was filled with toys but there was no one with whom I could play . Yeah my so called mom appointed 5 babysitters for me but they all were just busy on their phones not with me . Whenever I cried they just put a milk bottle inside my mouth but no one tried to play with me . So it was my boring childhood but that time I wanted their attention as for me attention was love but that day changed my complete thoughts about love , I came to know that love is a pure and very beautiful feeling , it's not fake like my friends . Yeah I had many friends but they all were just for money . They all talked with me when they need something . Sometimes I thought everyone was just investing in me and were waiting for the profit . I know I am using too many business words but what can I do , from childhood I just listen to them all . Wanna know how my lovely dad loved me .

Some years back .

A small 7 year old girl you all know who it was me Shikha and I was playing with my toys when I saw my father coming downstairs with phone in his hand . I immediately threw all my toys and ran towards him and hugged his legs .

" Dad , dad Come and play with me ." I said in hope that he will play with me but I got his everytime excuse " girl I have some work ." He just said this .

" You know no one loves me , no one plays with me ." I said with a sad face but who cares . Instead of playing with me my dad bent down on his knees and cupped my face and said , 

" Girl you are like my shares in which I invest to get profit , till the time you are giving me profit I am investing in you happily and that time you will stop giving profit and start giving me loss then I will sell you ok , are you understanding ?"

And being small I just stood completely confused and he left .

 So it was love . I was like a share for him , how can someone be like that? In my childhood I kidnapped myself for 5-6 times just to grab some attention but no why they will give me attention , 4 times just the guards came and took me back to my hmm I mean their house and 2 times hmm I myself gone back . Okay ok it was not good but what could I do ? I was hungry and the sun was too hot just because of that . But that time I was small and now I decided that I will not go back at any condition or any cost I will not go back .

I was repeating the same thought again and again and was trying my best not to change my decision but that time my destiny had decided something else for me and as per its decision because of the hot sun rays I started losing my consciousness and atlast I fainted .
