Tears still dropped from Shimi's face...
The man again asked...
"Why are you crying.. did someone died" Man.
Shimi still kept on crying...
The man again said...
"Don't you know who I am... atleast don't then tell your name" man.
He was in a miserable way than Shimi was... But Shimi still found out that... he was happy.
Shimi finally spoke up...
"Are... Are... Are you happy?".
The Man gets paused for a bit... and speaks.
"I don't know where that came from... but I am happy".
He smiles at Shimi...
"Return to your home... it's not safe" Man.
"What is your name" Shimi asks...
The man gets in a weird pose...
"Ever heard of Jackir Thomson" Man.
"Who is that? I don't know" Shimi replies.
Jackie sighs...
"Huh... well you are a kid so no use" Jackie.
Jackie wipes Shimi's Tears from her face...
"Hey what is your age... and your name... and why are you out at midnight... and all alone" Jackie...
Jackie had a lots of questions to ask... and Shimi had a lots of questions to answer...
It was very late... So Jackie kept Shimi with him...
"Tommorow morning itself get back to your house... Or why bot I'll take you there... because I want to see an irresponsible guardian who treated a little cutie like this" Jackie.
Shimi finally had a good sleep that night.
No old women scream at her by saying do that and this...
Even when the morning rose she had a peaceful wake up... as there was no old women who smacked and told her to do the chores at house...
And after sometime... she finally woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes...
A shadowy figure was infront of her...
For her... it was like a God who came down from heaven to see if she is fine.
"Go... God?" Shimi.
Shimi spoke up.
"So... I am God to kids?... A new knowledge acquired" Jackie.
"Who are you... old man... and why am I here... actually where am I" Shimi.
She is confused.
Jackie gets pissed...
Jackie screams!...
Shimi gets scared...
"Why are you kids like this... you say I am a God... now old man" Jackie.
Jackie spots Shimi's scared expression...
"Oh don't be scared I am actually like this" Jackie.
Shimi get relieved... kindly off.
"Don't be scared... here have some of this" Jackie.
Jackie puts forward some of the food he brought.
"You woke up late... Very late kind of... and so I decided to buy this... you are a growing you should eat every little food to grow" Jackie.
Shimi starts to eat her food...
For the first time... she feels her stomach might be full.
Shimi glances at what Jackie was eating... she notices that it was just a peice of bread....
Shimi gathers up the courage to ask him...
"Why... Why are you eating so less".
Jackie gets surprised... his mouth twitched upwards.
"Well... I think you should eat... Like I said you are a growing little women" Jackie.
A moment of silence till they finish their food.
After that they start to walk towards Shimi's house direction.
"Why did you buy me food... Mr" Shimi.
"You can call me... Jackie big brother by the way... don't call me mister I am not that old... and I bought you food because... I heared voices from your stomach early" Jackie.
"Eaves dropping big brother...." Shimi.
"It's not Eaves dropping" Jackie.
"You too... should eat more... you are also growing" Shimi.
"I'm not growing... I mean I am growing but... You got it right" Jackie.
Shimi sighs...
"And also I don't eat much you know [lie]" Jackie.
They both continue their walk towards Shimi's house.
[Jackie eats a lot... but he had small amount of money with him this morning... he used that to gave shimi good food to eat because he heared what she said in her sleep... "please give me some more... please mom don't leave me... why are you calling me a cursed child... I am not cursed... I don't know how to di this mistress... why won't you help me with this"... he heared everything she said in her sleep].
Jackie gets a glance at her cheerfully face... he was happy to see it.
Jackie slowly asks her...
"Do... you have any issues".
Shimi replies...
"What... ".
Jackie changes the topic...
"Like... talking during sleep kind of".
Shimi replies...
"I don't know about that".
Shimi was confused...
Jackie confirmed that she didn't knew that she does that...
Jackie laughs...
"So you didn't know that... ahahah" Jackie.
Shimi get mad...
"Hey!... Big Bro stop laughing at me" Shimi.
Shimi get worried... because she thinks Jackie heared everything...
Awkwardly Shimi asks...
"By the way... what did I say".
Jackie replies calmly...
"I didn't listen that... it was childish".
Shimi makes a sighs of relief...
At that moment Jackie again confirmed that Shimi lied to her about she not knowing about herself talking in sleep.
Jackie thinking to himself...
"What must have been... this child... she is suffering... can I even help her... Will she be safe... I had to say to her that I didn't... but I didn't want to".
Shimi's face changes... she was about to reach the house...
Shimi points at the house...
"That's my house...".
Jackie also spots the house...
"Oh... now you can go by yourself... you don't need me".
Shimi replies cheerfully...
"Yes I will... thanks for everything big bro".
Jackie feels lighter from his thoughts after he sees the little girl smile.
Jackie bids her farewell...
"Bye... then... meet again if we see".
Shimi replies with a bye as well...
They both go opposite directions...
Shimi wants to say...
"Don't leave me... I don't want to go to that place... that is hell".
Shimi's eyes filled with tears... some even began to shed.
Shimi reaches the front gate...
Shimi rings the bell...
The old women comes out...
Old women gets angry...
"Where were you this morning... and who will do the chores".
She pulls Shimi's ears...
She screams due to pain.
Shimi's thoughts fill again...
"I should have... I should have told big brother the truth... I should not have came back... maybe I should have not been born... maybe I should have stayed with big bro and told him about this".
Tears began to fall finally from Shimi's eyes...
She couldn't see that... that someone was standing in front of the gate... because it was blurry because ot the tears in her eyes.
It was like before... the time when she woke up... she thought it was a God...
THIS TIME FOR HER... IT WAS... IT WAS A GOD... BUT IN A HUMAN FORM...
JACKIE THOMSON...
Jackie yells at the old lady...
"Hey you bulgar... leave that kid alone".....
Shimi cries after seeing him...
"Please... Take me... Take me from here big bro...."....
