Rimi had been a very calm and gentle girl since her childhood. Unlike other children, she was not very mischievous. She liked to stay quiet, play on her own, and sit beside her mother listening to stories.
She was very dear to her parents. She also helped with small household chores. When her mother cooked, she would stand beside her and wash vegetables, and when her father returned from work, she would sit next to him and listen to his stories of the day.
Their small family was not very big, but it was full of love. Rimi's smile could light up the whole house. Her parents always said,
"Our Rimi will become a great person one day."
At school, Rimi was loved by everyone. She studied attentively and always followed her teachers' instructions. Whenever any of her friends were sad, she stood by them. That is why everyone liked her very much.
However, life was not always easy for Rimi. From a young age, she began to understand that life is not always happy. Sometimes her father faced problems at work, and the family went through financial difficulties. Even then, Rimi would not say anything—she would just sit quietly beside her mother.
One night, she secretly overheard her parents talking. They were worried about the future. From that day, a fear entered her little heart—what if these happy days disappeared one day?
After that, Rimi became even quieter. She never shared her pain with anyone. Instead, she made a promise to herself,
"One day, I will take away all my parents' suffering."
In the eyes of that little girl, there were many dreams—but hidden within those dreams was a shadow of unknown sorrow.
