What if i leave ? ( part 2 )

 Please read 'What if i leave Part 1 before reading this'

 I arrived in Delhi before dawn. I was so lost, i don't think words can do justice to my feelings at that

 

point. I was standing at the bus stop with my baby in one hand and suitcase in the other. I wanted to 

get back in the next bus to my town and just go back to my husbands house. But, no one is going to 

accept me. By now, i would be the talk of the town. Everyone would have made their own assumptions

 about my disappearance. Some would have thought that I eloped with a guy that i had an affair with.

 The rest would blame my parents for their bad upbringing. But, no one really knows the true story. 

People will talk. My parents won’t accept me too. According to them, I belonged to my husbands 

family from the day he slipped a ring on my finger. It hurts to know that your own parents won’t either 

support you or accept you. Maybe thats just the fate of girls like us who are uneducated and married 

at such a young age.

“Are you ok ?’ , An old lady asked me distracting my thoughts.

“I am fine, thank you”, i said wiping my tears that was unstoppable.

She smiled at me and then handed me her handkerchief to wipe my tears off and she sat next to me. 

“I can help you. You remind me of my daughter but, you need to tell me your problem first”, she said.

I didn’t know if i could trust her even though she looked really sweet. I have heard so many stories 

about city life about how people act nice with you and steal your belongings or sell young girls to 

prostitution centres. But, right now i had no option. My chances of surviving in this city seems so low 

that i need someones help. After taking a deep breath, i told her my entire story and she started 

crying along with me. 

“Come with me”, she said but i was scared.

“Where ?”, i asked worriedly

“ I have an orphanage ten minutes away from here. You can stay there.” , she said and carried my suitcase.

I decided to follow her knowing that i had nowhere to go. After a ten minutes walk, we reached the orphanage.
