Chapter 1 - The Incomplete SKY

"That day , The rain and storm were unleashing full fury . In a remote village , right there on the road , a woman gave birth to a baby girl. She was later rushed to a government hospital. "Just then, the nurse announced, 'It's a boy!' Her words left the father and the entire family in a state of shock, and a wave of tension spread through the room. Seeing their faces, the nurse quickly smiled and said, 'I was just joking, it's a baby girl!' A wave of relief and joy swept over everyone, and they immediately began celebrating by distributing pedas."Life was bustling in their happy home. The little girl grew up surrounded by her brother, her grandparents, and her uncle's family with their three children. There was a clear contrast in their livelihoods—the grandfather was a doctor, and the uncle was employed in a professional job. However, the 'little princess' came from a humbler background; her father worked as a laborer to provide for them, while her mother took care of the house."Tragedy struck when she was just six months old as cancer took her grandmother's life. Despite her mother's tireless care, destiny had other plans. With the passing years, the happiness of the home faded. Her father became addicted to alcohol when she was in fifth grade, leaving the family with no financial support. The bond that held the family together broke; her uncle's family separated, and in a heartbreaking turn, her father forced her grandfather to leave the home. Every day, her father would return home intoxicated and remain slumped in the house. With no money for groceries, the burden of survival fell on her mother's shoulders. To raise her children, she began working, braving the scorching sun and the heavy rains every single day. Her mission wasn't just to feed them, but to ensure they were educated. But what did she get in return? Whenever she returned home, she was met with violence from her husband, who had also developed a habit of suspecting her. Despite the pain and the accusations, she chose to ignore his cruelty, focusing solely on educating her children and keeping the household running on her own."Unable to bear her mother's pain, the girl frequently confronted her father, but her words fell on deaf ears. At the age of thirteen, after one last attempt to reason with him, she realized her silence was more powerful than her words. She drew a line and ceased all communication with him, choosing a cold silence over a broken relationship." Beyond just working, their mother focused on raising them with strong values. She introduced them to legendary warriors like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and instilled good character through spiritual teachings and visits to the temple."For Rose, the cricket pitch was the only place she felt like a princess. But beyond the boundary ropes, reality was harsh. Financial constraints killed her dreams of professional coaching, and the complex equations of her Science subjects felt like a mountain she couldn't climb. Between the silence of a classroom that taught her nothing and the noise of constant fights at home, Rose felt herself sinking into a dark void."When she entered the 10th grade, she met four friends who came from well-to-do families and were quite sensible. All of them lived in large, grand houses, while her own home was small. One by one, each friend invited the group to their place. First, Anushri took them home, then Simran, and then Jagruti. Finally, it was her turn to host them, but because her house was small, she turned them down."Somehow, she managed to score 75% in her 10th boards. Then came the 11th grade, where she truly began to understand what Science was all about. She worked hard and scored well, but because of her poverty, the teachers didn't pay much attention to her. Soon, paying the college fees became a struggle, so she started working. Her day would begin early; she went to college at 6 AM and returned at 2 PM to head straight to her job."Just then, a cricket tournament was held at her college. Her outstanding performance made her famous throughout the campus, and soon, even the teaching staff began to recognize her talent. In that environment, she learned the art of public speaking, the core concepts of Science, and ways to improve her English fluency. In her class, there was a boy named Aryan—the topper—who was remarkably humble and didn't have a shred of attitude. She would daily ask him about things she didn't understand. Observing her dedication, a new teacher who joined in the 12th grade started giving her extra time, which further fueled her interest in studies. However, as time passed, Aryan moved on to take admission in Engineering. Chetan was an incredibly hardworking boy. He started by working in the fields and farms to help his mother run the household. At the age of 16, he began living away from home to find work, as he needed to earn money to fund his education. His routine was grueling: he would work all day and study for ten hours every night. One day, while walking down the road, he spotted a flyer stating that anyone could apply for the police recruitment. In 그 moment, he made up his mind—he was determined to become a police officer, no matter what. People mocked him, saying, 'You can't do it, just look at your condition.' Instead of arguing, he let his silence speak. Now, his life was split into three intense goals: work, studies, and physical training."

He failed his first physical examination. Though he was deeply saddened and discouraged, he remained calm and decided to give himself more time. He began studying for 16 hours a day. When his 12th-grade results came out, he had scored 58%. Alongside his studies, he focused intensely on his physical fitness, doing 100 push-ups daily and practicing meditation. However, on the day of his crucial exam, tragedy struck—his grandfather, whom he loved dearly, fell seriously ill. Torn between his duty to his grandfather and his lifelong dream, he felt immense tension. Ultimately, he managed both; he took his grandfather's blessings and set off for the exam."From the dusty fields to the prestigious uniform, his journey was complete—he had finally become an IPS officer. Now, that 'Little Princess' scores 70% and gets admission into a prestigious college, while Aryan becomes a successful engineer. The girl, whose name is Shrawani, pursues an LLB degree to bring justice to her mother for the hardships she faced in the past—dealing with whether her father's actions were right or wrong, and the trauma of him coming home every day to physically abuse her mother. It turns out that Chetan is Shrawani's brother. Standing strong on their own feet, both siblings fulfill their dreams and provide their mother with a grand house and a car, treating her like a queen and giving her the life she deserves."

​In this vast universe, despite achieving everything, we remain incomplete. Perhaps we are incomplete because we still carry everything we left behind in the past. My sky still whispers to me—that I was complete only when my family was whole. Now, I have become incomplete; I am incomplete. You're Shrawani Mankar god ."
