Bending on the ground, I smoothed her hair for the tenth time. Nobody could blame me for making sure my daughter looked best for her first day in the school even though a part of me was scared of sending her.She would be okay."I will be okay," She said, as if getting the devious thoughts conjuring my mind. From the corner of my eye, I found Dhruv with same tension, same frown."Promise me you won't run." I advanced my hand to her. "If you don't feel good, you'll tell the teacher."I had explained to her in charge about her heart and how doing physical activities weren't good for her, and some days, she gets out of breath. Her surgery would fix everything but not right now. For a while, she had to go through it until she became strong enough to handle a bypass to cover the holes."Promise." She placed her small hand on mine and squeezed it."Be a good girl," Dhruv said, crunching to my level. "You don't want to cry?" I nudge Dhruv's stomach. She was doing pretty good till now and by
Marriages should be banned.That's the only thought which flows through my mind whenever my parents look for a boy. I was a fish put on the market with others settling a price on me. My eyes maundered the area of my garden. Green coating the ground, bushes making the border and in the center a bamboo set of chairs and table placed. The sky was clear with no sign of clouds in them. No sign of wind was felt by my bare arms to rise a tingling effect on it.Someone cleared their throat from my side. I rolled my eyes and faced him with a fake smile which means I was seconds away from killing him. His eyes were black, hair made up with button up shirt and jeans. The anxiety was clear in his voice but in me, I was paranoid to no extent."What are your interests?" He asked while rubbing his hands on the jeans cloth. He was nervous, but there was a thing known as manners.Right now, killing you with my
Hell with his ego and attitude of dismissing our friendship.I had enough of people showing me what I meant to them, how much of a bitch I was to them and what I should be doing with them. If our friendship meant nothing to him, then why I was seizing on the truth of the past and punishing myself with his moronic attitude. If I wasn't anything to him, then why to hurt myself over the thing.Pulling myself up from the chair, I fled from the office and maundered my eyes to search for Piyush office which I had been instructed to go in. After some labor and wandering, with no trace in my mind, I was standing in front of his office.I knocked on the glass door, which wasn't required because I could see everything going inside the room. I heard a small come in and entered in. The room was same as of Rajini Malhotra office, more like a replica of it.Piyush was talking with Dhruv with a smile on his face, w
Sneaking in your home was the job which should be given a pay.Hauling myself with a stiffness, I slump down on the bed, taking heavy breaths which I just lost. I would not sneak out next time. I would go by telling everyone. No more sneaking, because climbing back was a laborious job which wasn't meant for me.You'll do it again.I patted my subconscious mentally. Ah, she knew me too well to know that I would sneak out again and again. I couldn't manage to tell my parents about it. The moment they discover my relationship, I would be found deep buried under the ground."Sanchi beta, get up." I heard a knocking on the door followed with mom's voice. Clasping my hand over my mouth, I gulped the breaths to not
Sitting in the college canteen, Mehak had a dubious look on her face, waiting for the news of yesterday. This girl always dies to hear the happenings of my life. To her my life was a movie which could be watched whilst she ate popcorn, and one time she did bring popcorn and coke. I had ordered some food for both of us. I was hungry. Veering back on the chair, I blurted out, "I met Dhruv yesterday." She wasn't in my school but she knew about him. I had told her about him in our second year. Her face gave away nothing. Soon Ishika, Lavish, and Abhi joined us with the sandwich in their hands except Ishika who had a salad. Go with her diet plan. "Who met who?" Lavish asked, while munching on his sandwich. "No one." They didn't know an
Well, I didn't mean to see him just as I enter the studio or the room which Piyush had told me to come in. He was standing, his back slightly bend and head leaned towards the table surface with his hand working on a sketchpad and a sketcher held in his hand. I had no idea that he was interested in doing a work like this. His fascination world always was found under the designs of technologies. He would always be in his game room like a lion in his den. Crawling him out was like getting the roots of trees out with our hands. Both of them were a tough job. I would apologize to him and then move on from the past. It was both of our mistakes, but my actions were the one which led to it. Entering in more, I saw Piyush was standing next to Dhruv which I hadn't seen before. His eyes fell o
This boy sketching had been improved. My eyes were probing his designs with an awed look morphing my face. The dress was a long one with a skirt underneath, a long top over which had a cut in the center, starting from the end of the chest and went down. It gave a full view of underneath skirt. But there was something missing in this outfit. I chewed on the back of my pencil whilst thinking about it. What might he have missed while drawing it? But then my mind sidetracked to some other direction, pondering about his hands which were hard but drawn such a design. It was light, filling the lighter and darker spaces at the accurate places. I used to love his artistic hands because they used to be longer, sleek and gripped the pencil in a fluent manner.
I think when you love somebody, you're ready to be whatever they want and for some time you want them to like you. You start behaving according to their wishes, dress the way they like and chose words they would like to hear. Because that was what maybe happening to me. Maybe I was falling in love with Ajay. We had been together for 3 months - longer than any other boyfriend of mine. And maybe this say something about us. We had been together, and now I tried to do the things he might like from me. I knew this red dress would attract him, make him happy because as soon his eyes fall on me, a shocking look wore his face. He opened his mouth but then closed it like a fish. Waving my hand in front of his face, he gulped badly. "You m
