"Anne....have you gone through your exam result?" My aunt called me once. It was a very shocking news for me. I didn't got a clue from where I could get BCSEA result link
"No...I haven't"I replied her. No sooner did my aunt hunged up the call,I received an another phone call.
It was from Dorothy.
"Anne I have sent you a link"with a sad tone in her voice,she directly hunged up the call before I could finish bidding her a goodbye. Before tapping my index finger on that link, first I prayed to God for a good marks.
I put a full enthusiasm,gave a profound solemnity to the triple gem. I panicked...I typed my index number, filled up the necessary details and after that I closed my eyes, slowly tapped my index finger on the green button.
Oh...God...that was mesmerising,I really did scored 81% in science. I beamed with happiness....I directly headed towards the kitchen and hugged my mom out of happiness.
"Mother...I am qualified.. I've scored 81percent!"I exclaimed at her. She was happy too. We hugged for a long time. I could feel the warmth of her body and smelled the sweet fragrance of perfume.
"Congratulation...my dear"my mother whispered to me. It's all because of her motivation towards me...I could say that I would not be in that place,without her advice.
"My effort had not went in vain...I am proud of you, my dear"she patted on my head. I could see her eyes sobbed with tears but I was quite sure that this was her tears of happiness.
"Call your father and share your happiness with him too"my mother slowly let out,her hand still patting on my head.
"No...I don't want to..."that was only my answer that my mind urges me to spurt out.
"He had leave us behind because he don't want us to be with him. You've planned to share your life with this man but he have turned is back to you. Let him destroy us but now that is another time,another place,another world. We were totally departed,we have nothing to do with him. That was a fantasy. This is reality so I don't want to share my happiness with him anymore"I told her. It is sure...I really don't want him to smile and feel proud of me anymore.
"Anne it's okay,I accept that he leave me intentionally,he was just tired of me but you should not forget the good memories when someone turned back on to you. Houch your happy memories in your golden pouch of your soul, and delete the hard memories from your system. During sad times,open your golden pouch I mean think of your happy memories,you will eventually forget your problems"she spoke to me in a decentful tone. I could scan from her face that she is about to sobbed tears but before her eyes could start shedding tears I hugged her tightly. I don't want to ruin her mood anymore.
"Let's invite our neighbours for dinner and have a celebration"my mother exclaimed,leaving behind her sad memories.
That night,to my awe,I didn't noticed Dorothy. Usually,she used to visit my home earlier than anyone else but that was very shocking things to me. I waited for her,texted her but I could not receive any answers. Her mother has arrived, but she is not with her mother.
"Your daughter is able to qualify but my daughter has failed"Dorothy's mother let out in a desperate tone.
"Dorothy, didn't qualified?"I screamed at them,it was out of blue. Out of all sudden i was doomed. I didn't believe that. I went inside my bedroom and opened my phone button to text her. I was bothered by something just then. I was strucked how to begin my chat with her.
"How were your results,Dorothy"finally,I was able to inquire her.."I failed Anne...."she replied. From the moment I received her answers,I was broken. We cried for few hours,we shared our memories, our childhood memories, I comforted her not to cry anymore. Failure is journey towards success,I told her to continue her study again. Every successful person has a failure stories.
Thomas A.Edison once mentioned that"I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work"
What we need in our life is resilience and grit.
Friend is most precious thing in our life,we face tough times and happy times together. With our friends,we shared our secret mostly to our friends,even more than that to our parents. In this sandpaper of life,we have mended our tough roads and laugh at our happy times together. I felt so lost when I realized that I am going to lose her.
There were more than 500 students passed out from class 10 in southeastern England. My classmate Chloe accompanied her boyfriend whereas I was left behind near orientation building. After a while...I was relieved to see Dororo and Edward in the orientation. Edward, he was still same as before, giving no damn, wearing his black and white checked shirt that he used to wear in the school. I knew that he had definitely opted for science stream.
"Hey...Anne...what a coincidence" Dororo headed Infront of me.
Before I could answer...he again said to me
"What about you accompany Edward...I need to go to visit my girlfriend "saying that he made a thunder exit. I didn't start up the conversation until he turned to me first.
"Let's go for a walk"he said. I was happy for a moment but I've felt like he was bothered by something,maybe my presence would have bothered him.
"Hurry up...let's go"he hold my hand and dragged me into the open pavement. The road was silent and calm. I could find no one apart from the few traffics and a few children bicycling.
"Where did you applied? " he asked me.
"Bishop's Stortford" I replied.
"You will never know the reason why I applied to Stortford. It is because of you... because I loved you for so long,longing for you to turn up first to me"such thought poured into my mind.
"Want to go for a coffee?"he asked me. My heart thudded after hearing his word. My mind had really wanted to go out with him but my mouth slipped up saying no...
