Emily was just one year old when her mother passed away. Since then only I have taken care of her. By now she hardly remember anything about her. Days are passing away, and she is becoming more and more intelligent. To my surprise she started speaking just at the age of one and half year and the first word which came out of her was "Ma", though she has not much cared about it and very soon she started speaking lot other words. My most of the time either goes in office or in interpreting the incomplete sentences of my sweet angel emily. But she was a sharp girl and in a short duration she has started speaking clearly and complete sentences...

Time goes very fast when you start enjoying the life or things are moving well.... Emily has become 5 year old and she has became friend with many other children of her age, they used to play together in the evening. And once I came back from office, she use to narrate me everything whatever has happened that day... She used to be angry when someone cheated in game and expression of disappointment can be clearly seen on her face while listening to her daylong summary of event.

Winter has come and snow was predicted this year. Still I have made a plan to go out for a movie with Emily as her favorite cartoon movie has been released. Its a long time since I have gone out, in fact I never felt the desire to go, office and Emily were the only two things for which I cared much. We were going by a car and there was not much traffic on the road. suddenly I realized that an iron bar struck on glass window of my car, and before I could think anything somebody pulled me out of my car . I couldn't resist them as my eyes were constant looking for Emily but I was not able to find her. They were shouting furiously among each other and then they left me there only and started searching someone else. I was injured, tired, shocked, puzzled but my eyes were constantly looking for my Emily. Then suddenly I noticed a beggar lady standing on the other end of the road and there was my Emily pulling the skirt of that lady and asking " Ma, see that monkey wanna play with us, will you come or shall I go alone............  so it all happened for you... oh my beloved daughter...
