Around six in the evening Vihaa's family drop me in front of my house and now I am standing at the door of my house all exhausted and tired, waiting for someone to open the door. After waiting for a minute or two, the gate opened, I raised my head and look up to see who has opened it.
Unfortunately, the one who opened the gate was none other then my Aunt, seeing her face I cursed myself internally to ring the bell of the house so soon. However, as she sees me she opens the door widely but before I could step inside the house she stands in the place of the door, in short, I can't go inside if she doesn't step away. After waiting for a minute or two, (while she look at me from head to toe curiously and I try to think ways to escape the situation but I guess my good time is over now) she start speaking..
Aunt: (With raised eyebrows and complaint tone) Where were you? How come you are coming this much late? With whom you were gone? Can't you told us before leaving?
Though, she keep asking questions but here my mind started his own conversation.. "what is all this bro, who starts asking questions from the person who has just come back home all exhausted. Honestly, asking question is not a bad thing but let the person go inside, let them get settled down first and then you can ask questions from them."
Siya: (Politely) Can we go inside and talk, I am tired and exhausted?
Aunt: Yeah sure why not but we are going to talk first, as you have time for everyone but not for me. You always make excuse of not having enough time.
While saying this she step aside, allow me to come in. I enter inside the house, start removing my shoes. During this time I heard the sound of doors getting close, though, rather then of hearing soft thud sound I heard the loud bang noise and I sighed deeply because this is not something new, whenever Aunt have to do things like this.
Aunt: Now tell me.
Siya: (While walking inside the house towards the, living room) I was with Vihaa and her family, went to a day camp. I have told mother and father about it yesterday only.
Aunt: Can you stop walking, look at me and then talk?
Siya: (Stopping in my way and look at her) But I have just gave the answers of all of your questions, what else remains to talk?
Aunt: What was the camp about, what have you done?
Siya: (Started getting irritated because all I need to do is to rest, eat and sleep but her questions are testing my patience. With monotonous tone ) Fun activities
Aunt: What kind of activities and what her parents did?
Siya: (Irritated and started walking towards my room. Tried to speak as calmly as possible) Look we will talk later, I am tired going to do some rest.
And without saying anything, I started walking hurriedly towards my room. Like as usual, I can hear her speaking something but I choose to ignored her because just who can handle so many questions in a continuous flow. The moment I reached inside my room, I closed the door and lock it, then I drop my bag on the chair and move inside the washroom to take a warm shower to remove all of my exhaustion.
Once I completed getting fresh, I took my diary start writing about the beautiful morning that I had spent today. While doing so, one thing remained constant that is my smile. It took me around thirty minutes to pen down all of the memories in it. After this I checked the time in my phone which say its seven fifteen in the evening, which means in next forty five minutes dinner would be served so, sleeping this time won't be a good option. And I decided to rather go outside, find my mother, then I would tell her about my day.
I get up from the bed, plug in the charger to my phone then, I leave the room and walk towards the dining hall in hope of finding my mother. Though, upon reaching there, I found no trace of my mother and my mood turn low, like a lost puppy I started yelling and try to find her in the whole house..
Siya: Mumma!! (In the dining hall, kitchen)
Mumma!! (While walking towards her room, in her room)
Mumma!! (While walking towards brother's room, in his room)
Soon I heard her voice calling me..
Mother: Siya come here.
Siya: Coming.
I literally run towards the direction of her voice, which was towards the balcony. As I reached there, I found her walking there and enjoying little bit of nature in the from of plants which we have planted there. The moment she sees me she initiated the conversation,
Mother: So, how was your day?
Siya: Day was super good, I had so much fun.
Before, she could say anything else I start telling her whatever happened in the whole day, for the first time I found her listening to my story with interest and a smile on her face. That made my whole day worthy, soon we hear father's voice calling my name and I again got excited thinking about, now he will also listen to my story. And like just I have thought he also listen to my story with interest, while eating the dinner.
Once the dinner got over, before getting up from the chair father initiated the conversation..
Father: Siya, today I am going to sleep with Granny because she need my support more.
Siya: Okay.
After this I grab my water bottle, start walking towards my room and while doing so a thought pop up in my mind..
"I think today is my lucky day. I mean look at it bro, on a bright note it started and now ending going to be good too but how come everything happing can be so much good?"
Though somewhere in the mind, I am happy as everything is going so good but somewhere there is this single doubt stating how can things be so good? However, ignoring all this I enter inside my room, locked the door then I pick up phone, plug earphones in and lastly I pick up New Moon novel and start reading it while half laying on the bed.
However, I may have fallen asleep somewhere in the middle of the night because next day I found my self full sweaty, increased heart beats and sacred to the core. Once I got calmed down, I thought about the nightmare that I have just seen it which was all about..
"I am lying down on the bed straight, not moving at all, then I can feel someone touching my bare legs and from that, it goes on till my stomach and my arms too. And I feel completely disgusted, I tired to me move but couldn't, as if I have been paralysed, at that time I tried to scream but no word come out but all I was able to do is to cry. The worst part was, that I saw a known face in that person."
However, this dream ended when my morning alarm rang up as it woke me up but this nightmare become one of the most shaking one. And then it clicked in my mind, what seems to start at good note can never ended at happy note, that too especially with me.
