Aranya, didn't I tell you not to run around with younger brother in the train? How many times has younger brother fallen? "Please come and sit here". Aranya was scolded by her mother, Suvinitha. It was the day after the Sinhala and Hindu New Year. Aranya went by train with her mother, father and brother to visit her grandmother who lived in Nuwara Eliya.

Aranya was now 12 years old. She was the eldest daughter in the family and Sahan, who was 8 years old, was her only brother. Although the two of them often quarreled, they loved each other very much. Even while traveling on the train, they would run around and play. But Suvinitha did not want them to play inside the train.

Somehow, Aranya heard her mother's words and came with her brother and sat next to her mother. The train was moving fast. Aranya and Sahan were resting their heads on their mother's lap.

"Are you okay now"..? The doctor looked at Aranya and asked. "Where am I..? Where are my mother, father and brother. How did I get to this hospital?" She started thinking to herself.

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard. She had been near her mother before that moment. Now none of them were there. That was all Aranya remembered. She had no memory of what happened after that.

"How did I get here"..? Aranya asked the nurse standing nearby. You were unconscious for 3 days. That day, the train you were on met with an accident and several people on board died. Some people are missing. Several injured people were brought to this hospital. The nurse said.

She could not find out what had happened to her family. She was a small girl and could not go to find her family. She was very sad and in tears. She had a bangle from her mother, Suvinita, with her. She had nothing else to remind her of her mother or others.

"Daughter Aranya, are you ready?" Nandani asked, looking at Aranya. "Yes, mother, I am ready." Aranya answered.

I went to the temple yesterday and made a vow that somehow we should get through today's work. Don't worry, daughter. We will be able to find your mother, father and brother today. Nandani patted Aranya's head and left the room.

During these past 10 years, I have tried very hard to find my family. Nandani mam and Sanath dad have taken care of me with great love for these 10 years as if I were their own child. These two must have been my mother and father in a past life. That is why they love me so much. Looking at the mirror, Aranya started thinking like this.

"Daughter, this is that house. Let's go inside and see who's home," Nandani said to Aranya as she got out of the car.

Nandani, Aranya, and Sanath got out of the car and came to the door of the house. They saw a handsome young boy, about 18 years old, watching television from inside the house. "Sahan", Aranya immediately hugged the young boy and started crying. You have grown up and become so beautiful now. Aranya looked at Sahan and said this.

Sahan stood there, unable to understand what had happened. At that moment, Aranya saw two people coming from inside the house. "Mom, Dad..." Saying this, Aranya walked towards them from beside Sahan.

Oh my little girl Aranya, Suvinita hugged Aranya with great surprise and tears in her eyes. "Where have you been for so long, my daughter? How long have we been looking for you?" You have grown up and become so beautiful now. Suvinita asked, stroking Aranya's head.

"Mom", this is Nandani mom and Sanath dad. These two have taken care of me with great love for these 10 years as if I were their own child. And these two worked very hard to find you. After the train accident, I was in the hospital for 4 days. That's where I met Nandani mom and Sanath dad. So, these two took me from the hospital to their house as my guardians and took care of me like a own child.
