~~~ Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again ~~~

New day , new calls , new tasks. The morning sun rays hit my face, which makes me wake from my beauty sleep. I woke up and sat on the bed with closed eyes. After some time, I opened my eyes and turned towards the window. Two birds were chirping, sitting on the branches of a tree. Leaves were moving to and fro due to the sweet breeze. Flowers were blooming due to the sun rays . What a beautiful creation !

It was 6:30 in the morning. I jumped from the bed and stretched my hands. For a few days, I stopped doing yoga. Now I should start again. I love to keep my body fresh and relax . So I prefer yoga rather than doing some heavy exercises.

I took my salwar suit and went to change. After 15 minutes of spending time in the washroom, I came out and started to do my makeup. In the case of makeup, I only do three things. Just applying kajal , then lip balm and at last a small bindi that's all. I hate makeup. Everyone says that I am a natural beauty. But I don't think so. Glancing once again at the mirror, I took my bag and stepped out of the room.

In the living room, I saw Baba reading the newspaper and Nitin playing something on his phone. I went to Baba and took blessings.

" Good morning baba". I greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Nishu. Ready to go to college. " He asked, keeping the newspaper aside.

" Haan baba." I sat next to Nitin. Nitin smiled and greeted me, which I did back.

Soon, my mom came from the kitchen with breakfast. I went towards her and took them, and placed them on the dining table.

"Good morning mumma". I turned and took her blessings.

"Nishu, go and eat your breakfast. You have to go to college, " Mumma said to me. I nodded and took my seat.

Baba and Nitin also joined for breakfast. Then we heard the shrill sound of a door opening. That will probably be Nitya. She was always like this - late to wake up , late for breakfast , late to come home. She was wearing a knee-length dress, which was hugging her curves perfectly and with lots of makeup on her face. I looked at Baba . His face clearly showed disappointment. No one said anything . She sat next to me . I smiled and greeted her . She also greeted me and started to serve herself

"Um Nishu ". Baba suddenly called me.

"Haan Baba." I looked at him.

"Today after you come from the college we want to discuss something important with you." He told me with a serious face.

"Okay baba".

Why is Baba so serious? There is something fishy .

I finished my breakfast and took my plate to the kitchen. After washing it, I went to the living room and took my handbag.

"Baba , Mama, I am going." I told them.

"Di, I will drop you today." Nitin announced and took the car keys. After saying goodbye to everyone, we both went to the parking area.

"I could never speak in tunes before

But for you, I could write a symphony

If only you would sing along

Doesn't even need to be in key

Is what I have enough for you?

Or do you need all the things that I don't.

Separate all the lies from the truths

I'm picking up the pieces so ...."

I picked up the phone before it could stop ringing. It was my teammate, Adarsh.

"Hey Rohan, wassup," He asked me. I shifted my phone to my left ear and tied my Rolex watch around my wrist.

"Nothing, just getting ready for hospital." I took my coat , car keys , and bag and moved out of the room.

"So why did you call ?". I asked him because he will only call early in the morning if there is some serious problem.

"Yaar Rohan, my car tire is punctured. So I called to ask if you could pick me up on the way. "

"Of course I will and I will call you, once I leave from home."

"Ok dude bye".

I put the phone in my pants pocket and went downstairs. Only Tara was in the living room with her drawing pad. Ma and babhi were in the kitchen. Suddenly Tara saw me and started to run with her tiny legs.

"Good mouning ( morning) chachu." She hugged my legs with her small hands . I put my belongings on the couch and picked her up.

"Good morning sweetpie". I nuzzled my nose in her chubby cheek, and she started giggling.

"Chachu, it's tickling me." She said with a pout. I sat on the couch and placed her on my lap.

"Acha, my baby is feeling ticklish. Okay then, I will stop. " Then, she started showing her drawings.

Dad and Bhai came down in their office suits. I stood up and greeted dad , then bhai. Bhai picked Tara and started playing with her. After some time, Mom and Babhi came with breakfast. I went and hugged my mom.

"Good morning, my dear mom." I wished her well.

"Good morning son". She hugged me back.

"Oye Mamma's boy Now come and wish me." Babhi said while making some faces. She is always like this. I chuckled and hugged her.

"Good morning, my dear babhi." I smirked at her. But she slapped my arm in return.

"How many times did I tell you not to call me babhi Rohan?" She said, puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Oh Navya, I am really sorry, yaar, and now onwards, I won't call you, babhi . Okay babhi, " I winked at her.

"You." She was again going to beat me, but Mom stopped us and told us to have breakfast.

Well, Navya is my best friend . We both were medical students in the same college, and we were in the same class too. As we became friends, we used to play, talk, and spend time with each other. One day I came to know that she was an orphan so I made her stay in our house. All liked her except bhai. At first, Bhai used to hate Navya. He was always rude with her. Navya was upset with this. But sometimes I noticed bhai secretly looking at Navya. I really doubted this. One day, Navya decided to stay at the hostel because of bhai's behavior. On that day, bhai was restless, and on the next day, he came with Navya and confessed his love to her. Navya also confessed her love, too. We all were happy and after two years both got married.

I finished my breakfast quickly since I wanted to pick Adarsh on the way. After saying goodbye to all, I took my belongings and ran to my car. I placed my belongings in the back seat and started the car.

Let's start the day, Rohan
