A piece of heart

She shines.She cries.She smiles when the morning is rising.

Its the baby at home.A cute lil baby.She doesn't got a name.But her elder sister who is only 7,calls her''Srya'';As its not her age to know what is the difference between a Jungle and City,Girl and boy.So she just keeps calling her ''Surya''.
Mom doesn't feel to take care of her.Or she doesn't got time.She got a new job just after her birth.Dady got a promotion.Now he can decide his shifts.So at morning she goes for work and he stays at home to look after her.She is the doll for the elder sister.As she is cute,doesn't cry much.........but just when she is hungry.But thats not too hard to.Just take some powder milk and shake them in a feeder of warm water.Her food is ready.Its fun.But cleaning her..........its a disaster.Dady does that.
She looks at the birds singing.........looks at the world around her.With her tiny hand she wants to hold all the things around her.Mumma's hand,Sister's hair and Papa's finger.At her world these are the things that matters.She knows only who are around her.

Mom comes home at afternoon.Serves food.Then take her one.Her second daughter comes to her.Gives her a big hug.Comparing to all her other daughters,this one is a bit sick. Skinny and not good looking.She feels a bit guilt for this daughter.As when she got pregnant and was trying to be .......she didn't gave much time to her.She never got breast milk.With less love and care she has turned into a sick child.Momma hugs her back.Her neglected daughter.Looks at the 3rd one,who is playing with the elder one.........thinks''For this one I've neglected Shama.Thought it'll be a boy! But she is another daughter.''

Feels frustrated and cheated.When she was on her final month of pregnancy..........her father died.But she didn't went to see her sick Dad or didn't even attend the ''Death Ceremony''.For the sake of  her.Not her,as she was expecting a son instead of this one.But this gal born as a cheater.The baby cries.That means she is hungry again.Mom stares at her.Another trouble.Another cheater..
