Chapter One

It was the begrning of winter. The sun never stood long enough to dry the wet clothes. Mother usally dries them in home near the fire. I had my dinner and was about to go to bed when mother shouted " Keenai!! Clean those dishes before you go to bed". My younger sister stood there laughing and mocking me. but soon the same voice "Meeraa!!!, you can help Keenai".


The work was less, 3 plates and few spoons and a bowl. I washed them and meeraa dried them and it was over in few minutes.My hands where numbed due to the freezing water. I usally throw out the trash and I didin't mind doing it.

All setteled...I wished my Mother good night, meeraa went to her room as always.   I went upstairs to my room. We had a comfortable house. It was big enough for us. I took the Attic for my self ... Mother didn't like it but later agreed to it since meeraa wanted a room for her self too. My place was good .. no!! it's the best!!! It had a window and shelves and it was my own.

I changed to my sleeping dress and jumped into my warm bed right next to the window. i cleared the moisture over the window and saw the dark sky with brights stars. The sky was clear for a cold night. it was windy though. I lay on my bed and stood watching the sky. i could see the moons creators  clearly. The next day will be the same as today. I kept staring the sky and didn't know when I slept.
