The Light In The Dark

I am Emily, daughter of the richest man in the city. Happy, cheerful and the apple of my parent's eye. I am a little girl, 8 years old, beautiful, intelligent and rich.

Everyone Envy me because my parents treat me like a princess and I also think that I am the luckiest child in the whole world.

My father, Adam Smith is a very intelligent man, very good in business and a very good dad.

My mum, Lily Smith is a famous designer. She is a very independent and tough woman. Always ready for every fight in her life but she is the best mom.

My mom and dad love each other and support each other in their work. Also, same as my parents, I am a very intelligent and smart child. It's because of good genes. I love designing and business just like them. And honestly, I am good in it. Sometimes my dad also needs my suggestion in his work. Seriously it's funny I am just only 8 years old dad. How can I give my suggestions?

Hahaha!!!

I am very much happy it's my 9 birthday and my parents throw a surprise party for me.

Of course, I know they always did that but this time my parents were very excited to give me the biggest surprise of my life. And I know what it is I am gonna become an elder sister. Hurray! I always want one sibling so that I can also be the elder one and boss around on my little one.

The night is dark and it's raining outside I am in my room waiting when my parents came to take me to the party venue so that I can also see my decorated place. But what the heck nobody came up to take me.

"Hey! Are my parents downstairs or not?"

I called aloud and my Buttler came to me, hurriedly.

I asked him,

"where are my parents? Why don't they came to take me to my party Venue?"

I am very impatient right now. I want to see how this year my parents prepare for my party.

Last year it's was a princess theme and Now I am very excited to know what theme is it today.

'Yey!! I love my parents.'

Hearing my questions, my Buttler said, "don't worry miss they will just reach in 2 minutes."

"Okay, then I wait."

My parents arrived because I heard the sound of a car horn and I jump off my bed to meet them, barefooted.

"Daddy Mumma you are back".

Daddy said, "yes sweetie we are back".

When my dad saw my feet. He starts scolding me, "Sweety I always told you to wear slippers don't run around barefooted. You will catch a cold".

"Honey don't scold her it's her birthday."

"Come on birthday girl go to your room and change your clothes we have to go to your party", Mumma said.

"Yes Mumma I will go up and change then we will go to the party", I said happily and run fast to change my clothes, when I came we happily sit in the car and move to my destination, my birthday venue.

'Yay! I am so much excited.'

But my happiness does not last for so long. After some time of driving, I heard a loud bang.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

That truck hit our car. And in the next second my head started buzzing and darkness take my eyes away from my consciousness.

But at last, I saw my parents both are covered in blood. My tears started flowing.

"Mom dad please be alright!"

Later saying these last words, I fainted.

***

When I wake up I found I am in a hospital. White ceiling, white sheet and hospital gown. Then I realised this was not just my dream, it's real.

I shouted, "Mom Dad" and run into the hospital like crazy in search of them. Nurse and other hospitals staff trying hard to control me and calm me down.

The doctor injected the injection and again I lose consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. It's was a nightmare, a bloody nightmare to me. I was in shock. How could it happen?

For the whole two days, I am in a coma. In my mind, there is only one picture of a deadly accident and the persons with blood.

When I wake up after my coma I saw my Buttler is here and I ask my Buttler Steven in my weak light voice,

"uncle where are my parents? Did they alright? How are they? I want to meet them. Please take me to my parents".

Steven sigh, and said, "they are dead miss".

"What?"

I said aloud.

How could it happen? No that's not true. Tell me uncle that's not true. I was crying my heart out. How? Why? How could it happen? These all questions are in my mind at that time.

"No that's not true. I am sure they are alive," I said. And again my Buttler sigh but didn't reply.

This is the incident that makes my life upside down or I say makes my life completely changed.

My parents died. My family broke. And our all property and money are also gone because of the debt of my dad's business.

What I have, nothing! I become an orphan.

They send me to the orphanage because I am not an adult. I can't live independently alone. And I start to live a life like an orphan child. But when I admitted to the orphanage my Buttler gives me a pendant which was my Mumma's last gift to me. I happily wear it and living my life in an orphanage like an orphan child.

After some days, a family came to adopt me I thought they took care of me and become my mom, dad.

But I was wrong, they adopt me for their selfish desire. They want to sell me because I am so beautiful in the whole orphanage as compared to other children. And they want money to satisfy their greed. They want to use me in their business to gain profits and money in exchange for me. That's why I am an investment to them.

At that time, I am just a child so they enrolled my name in school just to get other's praise. I knew it, it's not the right time to sell me, I was just a child. So they starts educating me to get benefits in future.

Hushhhhhhhh!!!!!

My life. Why everything becomes like that? Why? Why? I asked myself this question every day.

"Mom Dad. I miss you."
