Her World

She's always kept to her own self.. Her 3 children meant the world to her...
For, in her eyes, it was a cruel, ugly and cold world outside,and the only thing she was worried about was protecting her little ones from it. They called the small structure their home and were quite happy.

Yet the sight of Ramlal approaching towards her got her worried. It brought back her old memories.
He'd killed all of her kin and yet nothing ever happened to him. It was as if she'd lost her voice.No one heard her.

But Ramlal's footsteps brought her back to reality.
Today was different... Ramlal was accompanied by a Fat guy whom he was trying desperately to impress... "Sahib" he called him..

Ramlal walked nearby her place and showed him the area... He did not even pay heed to her...
"Kitna kachraa hai yahaan" mumbled the sahib much to Ramlal's discomfort.
"Hum yahaan reh nahi sakte.Ye sab Fataafat saaf karwao" he said pointing towards her home

Ramlal sprang into action and assured his sahib that everything will be taken care of.
"Bas aaj shaam tak ka time de dijiye. main ye poora kachra saaf kar doonga".

For her, this meant trouble. Ramlal had already destroyed their settlement 2 years back and her entire family had got killed when they opposed it.

Ramlal immediately signaled his men to start working and destroy her house...

The men took up their instruments and neared towards her...

It was precisely at that moment she'd made up her mind on what to do..

She grabbed her 3 children immediately ran across the room and into the adjoining room.
Their she found a small hole and immediately she and her children hid in there...

And the men started their work.. Whooosh..with 1 hit they destroyed her entire home...
All that she had was gone,...

But she was not perturbed at all... She stood still...
She calmly watched as Ramlal's men cleaned up the house..

While Ramlal called up his Sahib to tell him that his Farmhouse was now clean,
