This is a story of a teenage girl in a modern era. This is a tale of a carefree,unpopular,timid,teenage girl,whose life changes with entering of new bunch of friends in her life who changes her completely. Let's get started !!
"Get up? Its 6:00 a.m..you're 25 minutes late. You've your School,honey",said mom. My mom is a housewife who wakes me up a bit early in the morning but today she woke me up a bit late,she normally wakes me up at 5:30 a.m. as I've to go school everyday. My morning begins with doing regular chorus such as brushing,bathing and getting ready in which I take a lot of time. I have long hair and mom can only de-tangle them,as she begins brushing my hair I feel my hair pulled,my mom brushes my hair in such a way that my scalp pains the entire day,when I ask why she does it,she simply answers that."It improves blood circulation". I bid goodbye to mother as I have to reach bus stop before its too late. Going to a bus stop,standing and simply waiting for the bus cringes me from inside as I don't like people there as they stare at school girls and women at the stop,I've now mingled with few girls of different school who wait for their particular school buses.
I reach in my class which is way too old-fashioned,white washed with a green board in the center along with the crucifix sign above the green board. My class teacher calls out the roll calls of the students,she calls "41,Sonia Agrawal"..I answer "Present Mam". In my class,I've very few friends I can trust on,my best friend is Arpita Shetty,an olive skinned girl with black hair and red chunks,she wears funky pink and blue framed spectacles even though her eyesight is normal,she wears it in fashion. I tease her calling a 'chatterbox' because she is all the time chatting with us,normally sharing the trending gossips of famous senior girls of our school having an affair with boys of St. Xavier's,it is the best and captivating part of 8th graders to talk of boys,even though we're aren't mature enough,we're just growing up but we can't get enough of it. I had no interest as such in boys and my friends often called me 'jhalli,maybe because I was too immature to understand this,not to forget to mention,ours is a pure girl's school.
6 months later:
I'm a 9th grader now,Arpita & I,have became separated because her father took her to Chennai for further studies while I'm still here. I miss her so desperately. I have made some friends whom I secretly disliked in my previous class,maybe because we never had an interaction with each other but now that we know each other,its fun to be with popular girls.
After few months,Rhea who is popular as bad girl in our school,is famous for her arguments with teachers as her father is a Commissioner,gradually developed friendship with me. One day,she calls me on my landline and my mom picks up her call "Hello",said mom. "Hello,namestey aunty,can I speak to Sonia,I'm her friend Rhea " and mom yells "Sonia,its Rhea's call". I pick up her call and she asked me whether I can talk to her privately so I hung her call and went to my room and called her back with my cell phone,she continues-
"Hey Sonia,thank you for calling me back. I'm stuck..or...how do I say ! Listen,one guy Aakash has asked me out,what should I do? Should I say yes or no? I don't wanna reject him because he's already so cute and right now my heart and mind is racing,it has left me confused.
I replied,"Look Rhea,its not our age to get committed with someone right away. It is not the age to fall in love with just anyone or to start dating,we're immature to take these solemn decisions. In my opinion,you should reject this proposal"...In which,she said "You're right. Thank you. My parents are around. Catch you later" and she hung the call.
After few weeks,I found out that she got committed with Aakash even though I advised her not to accept the proposal. I refrained from speaking my mind but I felt bad as to why on earth did she call me and wasted my valuable time when she had to do what she intended to do initially ! Rhea along with 2 more girls started to bunk school to meet her boyfriend and she had offered me too,which I had to turn down because I was mostly concerned "What if my parents come to know about this?"..this very thought intimidated me of breaking my family rules. My refusal to her offer,had gradually created the distance between us and by the end of the final term,we had a heated argument as she accused me of unfaithfulness and called me a 'self-centered' girl.
During that time,my life had also taken a turn where I met a guy. Yes a guy,I met him on a social networking site and we had almost shared a lot about our lives,and he in no time,became a part of my life.On our very first day when I had first talked to him on a phone call,I said "Listen,I'll talk to you only for 2 minutes" in which he teased me, "Why have you set timer or what?". His way of talking,especially his humor and the way he trolled me,left me irked as well as embarrassed. He then said " Okay,sorry..I was kidding !" but I could sense his hysteria.
In the school:
I kept daydreaming about Varun Dixit,inspecting his both good and bad sides when my class teacher entered the class and appointed me to monitor the girls as she had to do some other work and she left the class in jiffy,I stood and started checking girls. Rhea remarked and murmured something about me. I pretended having not noticed what she spoke but deep down it jolted me.
*******************
I returned home depressed,helpless and gloomy,because of Rhea's behavior towards me today. I began rushing into my room when my mom stopped and asked me ,"How was your day,my honey?". "Nice,mom..but..but..I'm..I'm tired,I need to rest",I replied almost hesitatingly. Mom retorted," Have your lunch at least then rest?" I could not answer back to her and gestured her to bring me food while I change and rinse my hands and face. I tried to finish off my food hurriedly. I went inside my room and picked up my cell phone,dialed Varun's number and he picked up my call in jiffy. I liked how fast he picked up my call. He answered "Hello". I asked him everything formally as to what he was doing,where was he,etc.Suddenly he interrupted me and said "Sonia,are you okay? Why are you acting so weird? Are you upset? What happen..will you please tell me,baby?" and all I could do is cry. He asked me to relax and I told him what disturbed me. Having hearing this,Varun got so irked and said, " Sonia,baby..why didn't you tell them off?..Darling relax...I love you.I love you so much. Now stop crying please." He confessed his love to me for the first time and I realized that I was starting to fall for him,now.
After 3 months:
Varun and I went out on our very very date to Cafe Coffee Day,he wore a blue US Polo Assn shirt accompanied with his regular denims. We sat and he asked me what would I like to have,so I told him that I like cappuccino and he ordered the same for both of us. He looked straight in my eyes and complimented me "You look beautiful,beautiful you and so is your dress". I wore a floral pink,maxi dress along with my catwalk flats. My heart beat faster and faster as he looked at me. It was such a beautiful feeling I could not help. I noticed his warm gaze on my face and I turned my face away as I was way too shy. He held my hand and caressed,it constantly made my heart melt for him.
During evening that same day,I lay on bed and couldn't help recalling our first date,the way he looked,the way he complimented me,the way he smiled at me,the way he touched my hand for the first time felt no less than electric. Oh,how spellbound was that !! I realized my love towards him.
*******************
Varun and I,meet frequently now. Suddenly mom came into my room and said," Honey,today at 9:00 p.m,I've to attend your father's office party,so you be at home and rest,I'll keep the food on dining table. Make sure,you eat it."
Its 9:00 a.m,as soon as mom and dad left,I dialed Varun's no. He picks up the call," Hello,Sonia..how are you dear? You know darling I was missing you". My heart was beating faster and faster,my love for him grew even more deep". I replied,"Baby,I miss you,too. You know what? My parents are not there at home. Can you please come to my place as I'm feeling frightened without them?" I actually was feeling scared being left all alone in the house. I called him at home.
Varun arrives at my place. I greeted him with our usual way of greeting each other,saying 'hi' and invited him inside my home. We were shy at first as it was his first time to my home so I somehow opened up by asking him as to what he would like to take. After some time,we started talking and then he complimented me "I didn't know you could look so beautiful in just shirt and boxers" . "Then he suddenly came closer to me and planted a kiss on my forehead and in no time,we hugged,cuddled and talked. It was a wonderful feel being with him. It was our first time we had got intimate." .Being with him,time passed by in a spur and I couldn't understand as to when the clock struck 11:00 p.m and it became a hush hush affair as it was the time for the parents to come back to home.
*******************
Next morning,I reminisced about how Varun and I had spent hours talking,hugging and cuddling. It was our first time,we had hugged each other. The moment he had hugged me,felt as if all my problems were vanished in air,I forgot nearly about everything. His hug had intrigued me,leaving me wanting for more. I felt a sense of care,protectiveness,security and a warmth in his caresses.
In just a moment,mom bellowed "Sonia,breakfast is ready,come fast !"
**********************
Everything was going in tranquil until Anusha came to our life. I happened to come across that she was an ex flame of my Varun and he still possessed feelings for her. She intervened in our life and almost created a turmoil in our lives. She left no room for us to breathe and separated us. It all left me scattered and depressed.
I recalled this fiasco every single day and night and almost became an insomniac. I sat in a darkling thinking about every moment Varun and I had shared and in no spur everything between us ended up. I had completely lost faith in love.
When I was lost in the fathoms of my deep thoughts,mom came into my room "Sonia,why are you sitting in a dark?" which left me dumbfounded and I,however, shammed to sleep. Mom went away and I realized that I was sitting in a dusky room in a cozy outfit sans meal.
***********************
Forgetting about those fiasco was undoubtedly grueling but my efforts and pain did not go in vain. Now I see myself as a martyr to have forgotten about everything and lead a happy and bright life now. I feel myself as a fairy of no fairy tale which once existed but a fairy of a bright tale. Being single is a best experience ever. One can really do what one wants. Every time life teaches us a lesson which is followed by hardships,heart breaks and struggle.
