Papa!!!! I am not a kid anymore ,I can handle things on my own.Listen I am 22 years old."These words are coming from my brain,but it stopped inside of my mouth",I couldn't able to say it because of the strictness of my father over me.
Words - Meaning
Papa - Father
Puja - Prayers
Beti - Daughter
I stood there like a rock and listening the rules and conditions from my father,for me to stay in USA
Rule 1 – Be polite to everyone.
Rule 2 – Don't talk to anyone,unless it is necessary.
Rule 3 – Don't eat outside,only eat home cooked food..
Rule 4 – Do the puja everyday.
Rule 5 – Be independent and don't spend so much money on silly things.
Rule 6 – Always wear ethnic.
Rule 7 - Don't roam,or visits any kind of parties and clubs etc..
Rule 8 - Avoid beverages.
"This are the rules,which you have to follow to sustain in the foreign country,do you understand beti?" papa said to me in concern tone.
"Beti" MEANS "daughter" in HINDI language.simply I nodded to him,although I can't do anything except agreeing to his words.
"And I am sending you this man,his name is Rishab Saxena,he will take care of you as a bodyguard,do you get it?" Papa said.
"What? A stranger?with our daughter?How can you do that,Satyajit?" Mom said in confusing..
"Arpita,I know what I am doing,he is trustworthy person,and he will live near by riya's room,I know what I have to do,to care of my daughter" papa said in angry and concerned tone..
"I was literally shocked,by papa conditions and terms", literally it is like babysitting to me,but all I want to take care of me as a ALONE,don't know when I get this opportunity or may be NEVER..
Mr.Saxena came near to me,and greeted me with his lovely smile,and I greeted him back.
He stood front of me and starred me like a lion who wants a deer for his prey..
And the silence between us broke, by clearing throat of my father.
And I packed all my belongings like clothes,all my clothes are ethnic wear(Kurtis,anarkhali,night suits),and my make up(Kohl,lip balm,sunscreen,moisturizer). I don't like to wear too much makeup on my face,and mainly my desi food items like laddoo,Bombay halwa sweet.
I like this sort of food items since my childhood ,I used to have a lot in festives with my cousins and friends..
