Ana Sidranskova - the blessed child 3

To Isabelle, Grace was everything. She loved her like crazy. It is a natural tendency of every mother to kiss their kids. Isabelle used to kiss Grace at least 50 times in a day. It was 24th November 1938, Grace was crying hard for around 2 hours. Even Mariane could not spot out the reason. The baby girls face was red by now. Isabelle soon rushed to the baby. She unhooked her bra and breast fed the baby. The baby was showing signs of sleep .Isabelle continued feeding the baby. Marianne was on her way to the market to fetch some vegetables and fruits. Captain Frankesten ordered us to clear of the Serbians living in Milan. We soon left for the place."Round uppp!!,'We surrounded the camp where the Serbians lived. Marianne soon hid when she saw us. Her watchful eyes became more watchful .We knocked the door and pulled Jacob, Joseph and we did not even spare the young woman who was feeding the baby. Peter Penki tried kissing Isabelle, as a result of which Jacob got annoyed. Jacob kicked soldier Peter as his hands were firmly held by other officers. Seeing this, Peter took his gun and shot Jacob on the spot in front of his wife and his father.Mariane was hiding behind a large tree whose branches reached the periphery of the tree.Mariane’s eyes started shedding out tears. The sky started weeping too. The other Italians were just standing like spectator. There was no one to support them. I warned everyone to get back and we even dared to shoot them out. Isabelle’s face turns pale of a sudden. The baby was still sucking milk from her mother’s breast. Poor, she knew about her father’s death. Isabelle was stunned. They planned to live happily with Grace. They even thought of Grace’s future. They prayed that once the war gets over, they will return back to Serbia and live there happily. All the hopes were dropped and the dreams were shattered .Joseph could not do much. He shook his head down and Isabelle was in a standstill. Every neuron in her body took a pause.Mariane was watching everything from sidelines. I soon grabbed the baby from Isabelle. The neurons came back to life once again, she soon reacted."Gracea, Gracea!! ", she came running towards me.Peter and Robert shot her dead. Her long hairs took a sharp turn and her bra hooks remained open. She felt down on the ground with her breasts exposed. Joseph was the next on hit list and we shot him down as well.Mariane screamed and came running towards us, but an unfamiliar hand held her firmly from behind. He was Jamin.Jamin was from Belgrade and his entire family was killed by the Italian troops during the war. We soon dumped the body. The baby was still with me. We didn’t had any intention of killing the infant .This all happened on 24th November 1938.Jamin took Mariane away ,Misona soon followed them. She watched everything happened. She was amongst the spectators.Misoni was Mariane's neighbour.She has helped Mariane at times, but this time she was helpless .Mariane was the only surviving member of her family.

We soon left the place which was shed with blood all over. It still moistens my eyes when I think of it. I better prefer to stay away from those core memories. I do believe that Ana must be back, home.Sarah Jenkins was busy reading newspaper. Ana studied the presence of Sarah Aunty and hugged her from behind."Aunty!!!,"she screamed.

Ana Sidranskova - the blessed child I

(All characters are truly imaginary and this is an exclusive fiction work)



'Dad,I'm off to school,' Ana's gracious eyes made me feel proud as she headed for her school.She was the most gorgous and the most beautiful amongst my three daughters.Ana was the youngest one.'Bye,dear,' I kissed her .She was just 14 and she behaved like one of her sisters.She was just a grown up kid and she was matured enough to a assist me in my work.After school ,she directly used to come to our Restaurent.Six years ago our life was a complete mess when we were starving for food.We didn't had enough money to fulfill our basic needs.The Litzburg Mayor betrayed the citizens.We migrated to Sicily soon after we were kicked out of Litzburg.The main reason for this was Italys failure in World War II.Sicily was a different place as compared to Litzburg.Unlike Litzburg ,it was a developed city whereas Litzburg was pre dominently based on agriculture and cultivation of season crops.World War II was the only nightmare in every Italian's life as they had to suffer the most.People were shot dead,innocents were forced to live their place,daughters were brutally ravished in front of parents and brothers and childrens were forced to work.General Mussolini may have realized his needs and may had framed his policies against other nations,but the basic citizens were the sufferers.

I ,along with Robert Jenkins ,my close friend used to work under General Mussolini.Robert was 2 years older to me and had a very versatile personality unlike other soldiers who just fought for their nations during Wars.We both served for the Italian Army from 1927 to 1944.Robert was an amateur photographer and a painter.At times he used to write poems.I still remember that night when the French troops entered our Camp and thrashed Jenkins.We were forced to remain numb as we were under the threat of being killed by the French.'Take care of Sarah,'he said when he was couting his final minutes.World War II was a big source of destruction.General Mussolini's partnership with Adolf Hitler was one of the main reason for the same.We disliked Hitler,the Nazi leader who was said to have killed nearly around 5 lakh innocent Jews.He wanted to posses the world and no earthly power would ever allow that to happen.He started attacking less powerful countries and captured certain regions .He wanted to earn name and fame .For this he included General Mussolini and Japanese troops with him.We regret that General Mussolini had done that and he lost our faith in him "TRRR TRRR," some one was at the door."Hello,Mr.Agere,'Mrs.Jenkins embraced me.Mrs.Jenkins was Roberts wife.Sarah Jenkin was a very useful resource for me.I used to leave my daughters at her place during national duty.Ana was her pet and was like her best friend as Sarah had taught her at primary level.My elder daughter Natalie offered her a cup of coffee.The middle girl Tatiana came to greet her Sarah Aunty.

Mrs.Sarah Jenkins was missing some one badly and I took no time to realize that she was missing Ana."Ana è andato a scuola",(Ana has gone to school) I said to Mrs.Jenkin."Agere,you have 3 gold,' Sarah indicated my three daughters and make me feel comfortable.She said that I was lucky enough to have been gifted with three beautiful girls.She soon reminded me of the great Carlos festival that was held every year in Sicily in memort of Alfred Carlos,the legendry actor.She urged me to send Ana with her.Ana was like her very own daughter.She remained firm for a while and later on read a magazine."Bye Aunty!!,' said Tatiana and Natalie in Unison."Bye!!,"she said.She asked me about their sudden departure.Tatiana and Natalie were going to the restaurent as I had an important work in post office .Natalie was born on 1929,December26th."Its a baby girl!! Sir,'the doctors rejoiced when she was born.
"Oh Shitt!!!," was my first reaction.
