Faint Memories

After all the tests had been conducted, Yulia and the other members of her family sat together. They were all inquisitive to know what had happened that day. Yulia remained silent for a while and her eyes were fixed on the wall in front of her, as her memories of that day flashed in front of her eyes. A tear dropped on her cheek as she started to recall what had happened that day.

That Day

Yulia recalled that after his father had dozed off and she was looking out of the window watching the mesmerizing sunset in awe, the man in front of her started talking to her. He seemed to be of her father’s age and his friendly nature made her trust him. He asked normal questions to her and admired the sunset. His son and wife too started to become a little friendly with her and she was happy to have new friends on this journey without having a clue that it was just a trap.

Offer

As the train came to halt at a station, the family offered her to come with them and watch the sunset out of the train. She said no to their offer at once as she feared that train might start anytime but they assured her that this was the main station and the train would stop here for at least an hour. She was reluctant at first but they made her believe in them and she came out of the train and unknowingly put herself in danger.

Mistake

She excitedly came out of the train and was admiring the sunset from a distance. She wanted to thank the strangers for making her come out and watch the beautiful sunset. And as she turned to their side the man put a handkerchief on her mouth and she sank into oblivion. The man then put her over his shoulder and went away with the family. As her eyes blinked she saw the train start while her father was still asleep, she tried hard to shout but no voice came out. Her mind and everything after that was black.

Another Train

For several hours, she was unconscious but heard certain conversations of the couple. It seemed like they had committed some crime and were on a run. The young man she considered to be their son wasn’t actually their son and they were all a gang and not even a family. But now she couldn’t do anything and didn’t have any idea what they were going to do with her. What would she do now?

Bleak Days

She further told the police and the family that after that day she was starved lots of time and some sort of injections were injected so she didn’t know what was happening around her. Her body lacked strength and felt numb most of the time. Though she faintly remembers moving to various dingy houses when she was with the so-called family until one day she was left to her fate at some station.
