hitting a vulture.He was injured and was being beaten to death. Little 
Estrella not afraid for herself went and stopped those children.She 
picked up the bird that would feed on dead bodies and brought it home 
in her arms.At the sight of this Solana was shocked.But she let her 
little star, rescue her bird and sent her to the bird hospital to 
support her growing spirit.Solana knew that her little star would one 
day shine in the night sky the brightest. 

Luna started getting bitter.He was not strong like Solana. But now
Solana was too weak to keep him together.He was trapped by his past. 
This beautiful creature he had fought to make his wife. He had two 
beautiful children with her. Who were now 8 and 11.How was he supposed 
to guide them without her? He needed her.He was not ready to deal with 
life without her.He didn't know how to be a single parent. He was 
afraid and unlike Estrella who felt pain and kept it inside Luna got 
angry and took it out wherever and on whoever he could.He became a 
bitter man. 

Estrella remembered that day clearly.She was 10 years old. Her mother
was in the hospital.She was very ill.She recalled her conversation with 
her mother lying on that hospital bed.She was telling her mummy don't 
give up. We have to go and travel together.We have to do so many things 
together.But Solana had given up.She didn't want to suffer anymore.Five 
years had passed and the illness had killed her spirit and eaten her 
soul. 

She told Estrella about her dream the night before.She was in a temple
and a man covered in mud was standing infront of her. He was giving 
Solana his hand.He told her that he had come to take her pain away. She 
told Estrella he was Shiva and he was going to create a painless life 
for her.But she didn't want to hear about anything that would take her 
mother away. Her mother was a fighter.Not this person she was 
pretending to be, who had given up on life. 

Estrella left her mother in that hospital angry thinking that she didn't
love her enough.She had given up on her.Four hours later she was told 
that Solana was asking for her. She ran to the hospital and by the time 
she reached.Solana was lying there with her eyes closed never to open 
them again. 

The man covered in mud had won. Her mother left her hand and took his.
For Estrella he was not the creator but the destroyer. He had destroyed 
her happiness by taking her mother away.That was the day she lost her 
faith and started to fight GOD!!! 

The one she was named after.
