An Evaporated Smile - Final part

 Hush! Today I was a bit bored by my own words, because recently I got to meet the owner of the library and he was so humble to me and I liked the way he treated me, he was talking how he goes to different expeditions all around the world, and how much this world is different. He did a lot of voyages, with his team. I was wondering what if I too go on a voyage and explore what this world looks like. I asked him," What did it take to go on a voyage?", and he replied, " It takes everything, it doesn't spare even your courage ". He further added that if I wanted to go on such an expedition, then there is one of the groups, that is leaving soon, let him talk to them, for me, I became too excited and replied with a big yes! , How mad I am, I didn't ask my parents first. My parents are strict enough to say a strong no to my idea. So, when I reached home, I checked if my father was in a good mood, I kept checking for the perfect moment and this got me till late evening, so when I finally went close to my father to ask him, he from that side asked me, do you want something. I just ran away to another room and locked it from inside, and cried for the rest day, it was the first time my father asked me this question. I thought till morning and reached on the decision that I shouldn't go leaving them back here. 

After this, I went to the library and read a book in the library and this time I found it more interesting than ever, it was about a girl named Zubaira, her parents were not rich, but they tried their best to fulfill all her needs, once on a special occasion they gifted her a pair of golden bangles, when she looked at them they seemed brighter than anything she had ever seen, after sometime her parents died in a car accident and she was left alone. At the time of the burial of her parents she was left with only those two bangles, that day she cried her knees down, but the fate turned out to be crucial for her. After her parents died, her uncles took care of her but soon it turned out that they were taking care of her only to take the property that was left in her name, as soon as their evil intentions succeeded, she was sent to an orphanage. As she dwelled in the orphanage, she turned out to be one of the most beautiful girl there. Once a prince visited orphanage to do some charity, he saw Zubaira and felt in love with her the very first moment. Soon, the prince sent a marriage proposal to Zubaira, whole orphanage was chattering with the backbites of Zubaira's marriage proposal, she agreed to marry him only if the prince respects all of her wishes, the prince agrees without a glitch. The marriage proceeded and soon she gave birth to a baby girl. Zubaira looked in her eyes, and saw something she always wanted to see," A glitter of her mother's eyes". After few months, their empire is invaded by some neighbouring country and Zubaira is imprisoned by them, prince was killed and her daughter is taken away from her. Zubaira was kept in a dark cell, there was a little entrance for light, she tried to peek through it but was unsuccessful. She looked at the chains in which she was kept, she realised that the handcuffs were none other than her parents given golden bangles, if she tried to break her handcuffs, the bangles would break, as she kept thinking, tears started rolling down her face. She didn't even try to break the handcuffs and chains in fear of losing gold. After few years she died in the same state.

{ A message to the readers: The only " An evaporated smile" that ever existed was the above mentioned story of Zubaira, the rest of the story was just a build up as I never wanted this story to end up in a dark cell. I guess death was the only way to let it free. I'm sure, she smiled before her soul evaporated}
