Does it ever happened to you that, you have planned lots of things for next day or for your future but suddenly some thing happened and all of your plans got ruined? At that time how does it feel like, I think most of us would be saying things like...
"My time is not so good, these things always happened with me but why, I think god doesn't love me and this goes on and on"
but one thing is for sure we never thought or may be expected a saying that, there is always a right time for anything to happen and no one has ever received anything before time and more than the luck.
.....
Next day I wake up with a heavy headache plus with a light cold too and for the first time it is not because of nightmares, rather it was because of me being emotional and cried a little plus falling asleep a little late yesterday night. Another thing which I am noticing for now is that breathing is too getting difficult for me but I guess it because of cold only, however, keeping all this aside I thought relaxing for toady as finally school is sort of over now plus I am not even feeling well.
I get up from the bed, put my phone on charging and then start performing my daily routine except taking bath because I have no more school or practice to attend. I go out from the washroom all fresh up, then I check my phone to know the time which says it still fifteen left to be nine in the morning so, it means I will be getting breakfast a bit late only.
Hence, for passing time I open my laptop and start checking my mails, after few minutes I found a really surprising mail on it, which is from one of the hospitals where I had applied many months ago for internship. And here out of curiosity I opened the mail which says...
"We would be glad to have you as our intern student, kindly come to our hospital so, that we can discuss the further formalities and your joining date".
after reading this I smile widely because finally I would be happy to do my favorite job as a work and without thinking for anything I replied them that I would like to come to their hospital tomorrow if it possible. Then I put my laptop on sleep mode, go out from the room to have my breakfast plus I wanted to tell my parents about this latest news.
However, my happy mood doesn't stay for long, as soon as I enter in the dinning room I come face to face with my whole my family and this scene give me chill vibes that reaching my spinal cord because if few of them give me fright with their taunts then imagine what all of them can do. Ignoring all this I go and sit on the only empty chair beside my brother as I found him to be the safest choice because he hasn't done or said anything wrong to me till now.
To my relief I found them talking to each other in pair except bro because he is busy in playing game on the phone while eating his breakfast and here me observing all of them closely one by one.
(By the way, this behavior of me is one of my like a habitual one which I perform on daily basis. Its like wherever I go or whatever I do, I like to keep a close watch from each to everything and then I keep a mental note in my mind related to it and at last I accordingly, adjust my behavior or words so that, I intentionally not hurt others.)
Soon my trance break down by Aunt voice, everyone's attention turn to me
Aunt: How was your friend's wedding yesterday?
Siya: Umm I don't know I just meet her at the time of, before her leaving the house.
Aunt: Okay. What is your plan for future, I mean before you have to give that one of your failed exam again?
Siya: (Internally I rolled my eyes) Don't know (Though, I have the plan but I am not going to tell anyone else before letting father know first.)
Granny: If you don't have anything to then start working in the kitchen, cook food for us because being a girl one should know how to cook and do home chores. Its obvious you have to go others house and this would be your duty to perform.
And listening to this I found mother and Aunt nodding their heads in agreement, I think this would be the first time I am seeing agreeing for the same thing. However, I keep my attention on noodle which I am eating and try to ignore all of their stupid talks. As soon as my breakfast got over, I notice except father no one is there so, taking up a chance I initiated the conversation,
Siya: (Low tone so only he could hear) Father, I am thinking to apply for internship in one the hospital. Umm I have actually received a reply back from the hospital, where I had applied few months back.
Father: Okay. But what about your failed exam, if you do an internship won't it be going to affect your studies?
Siya: But it would be happening next year only and internship would be of a month or two. So, I don't think it would be affecting my studies.
Father: Hmmm okay but do not fail this internship or leave it in the middle because I don't want to increase my disappointment in you. Got it?
Siya: Yeah got it and if you are free can we visit the hospital to know the application process and fee structure?
Father: Yeah.
After saying this he got up from his chair and leave the dining area, then I directly go in the kitchen to keep my plates in sink. I fill up my bottle with water, then I walk back to my room and I got busy in researching about the this hospital plus about the intern's role during such kind od internships. Once I finished up researching about all this, I got up from my study table and stretch a little to calm my stiff muscles because of sitting for too long in same position.
I move towards the side table where I kept my phone for charging, I picked up the phone and then only I notice that the time is twelve in the afternoon which means that I have worked for more then an hour. And I also found a text message from Erik, which he has done at ten in the morning and I am going to reply him back now,
Erik: Hey
Siya: Hi
Erik: (Immediate reply) Where were you and what took you so long to reply back?
Siya: I was busy in some work
Erik: Exam are over, we don't have school anymore so, in what kind of work you were busy. You have always given me reply immediately, then why not today?
Siya: Umm I am sorry for the late reply, I was busy in studying a book
Erik: Its okay I can understand
Siya: So what happened? (Still you are asking me the questions, Huhh)
Erik: Nothing I was just getting bore so, I thought of texting?
Siya: (What I am to you a time pass or an entertainer) Ohh okay
Erik: So, how was your morning?
Siya: Nothing important as such but I would be doing an internship in one of the hospital and my department would be psychology.
Erik: That's cool. But don't forget to talk to me.
Siya: Okay I will try.
Erik: I have some work to do now so, we will talk later okay.
Siya: Yeah okay.
As this conversation ended, I kept my phone on the table again and start thinking for sometime about Erik's behavior and words as I found them a bit clingy and weird. However, keeping all these thoughts aside I pick up my novel and start reading it, this way how whole day passed as I got occupied by spending some time reading books plus texting Erik. Lastly, before sleeping I do mail the hospital, to know the time for next day so, I can come and finish my formalities with them.
Next day father and me we both visit the hospital, there we meet the main doctor's PA and she told us the whole application process plus the fees that I have to pay. Yeah you read right that, for psychology internship the student has to pay. However, after completing the whole application process and paying up money we leave the hospital premises, from here father leave for the office and I reach back home my self.
Have you ever heard someone saying, life is a journey full of surprises and in every step or may be after some steps you would be going live new chapter off it? If not then let me tell you that these chapters would be not something that you have read in a book, rather they would be the chapters where you would be tested or experimented on real life issues.
As I am trying to move on in this chapter of my life and even Erik would be going to do it too with his new job but doing so would turn things in my life this much drastically, I have never ever thought so.
