My Deary,
Every morning we wake up with some agendas or pledges.Some promise to keep up their strength,some to crush other's dreams while some simply wish the day to easily pass.I promise today to be happy no matter what.
Dad was back from Toronto.I could not be happier and I rushed to hug him but he turned away.Something seemed wrong so I asked "Whats up dad?".He turned away from me and replied "I'm really tired right now,I need some sleep" and went to his room.This was quite unusual.Dad was the only person in my family I could rely on.Well maybe he was tired orelse why would he ignore me?!Naina called us as she had something important to share with us.Apparently her universe revolved around Prithvi.So it has to be about any other special thing he did for her.It was getting irritating now.All we know about Prithvi is he is Naina's "perfect boyfriend" and was a part of the school's football team.
I told Debika about my dad's absurd behaviour.She felt I was over thinking about it.Maybe she was right.On the other hand she seemed a bit lost.I knew she was worried about Arjun as he was spending a lot of time with cheryl.I was pretty sure Debika liked Arjun but she didn't realise it yet.Anjalie was busy with her sketches as usual.She is indeed a very talented visual artist. I asked Akash about Varun.He told me Varun was fine.He and Varun are really good friends. And Varun finally came to school today.I called and asked about his mom everyday.Before I could talk to him class started.
After class I asked him"Hey!how have you been?your mom's better now right?".He replied with a boyish grin,"Yeah! chill,you seem more worried than me and I forgot how was the project?"."We got an A so I think we did fine and all thanks to you", said I.He said teasingly,"No it was all you,but we make hell of a team huh?".Suddenly Prithvi came out of nowhere and said mockingly,"Hey! I heard about your mom,hope she gets well soon orelse it would be tough for you people to pay the hospital bills,won't it?!".Varun was very angry and upset.He left the classroom completely ignoring me.Maybe today is "World's Ignorance Day".
I joined others in the canteen later.Debika asked me what was wrong.But I could not say anything as I did not know myself.I asked her if she was fine and she she acted as if she couldn't be happier."Don't act in front of me ,I know you are a mahan 'debi' but not with me" I said."Arre I m fine just a bit worried that Arjun is forgetting us for that bitch",she blabbered."By us you mean you right?",I demanded.She answered "What? no don't start Again hes just a friend.".I did not want to talk about it more cause that would make her more upset.I spotted Varun leaving school campus abruptly.I had to go after him and ask him what was the matter with him.I stopped him and asked," Whats wrong with you? one moment you are talking to me the other moment you pretend I'm invisible! what is the problem Varun? tell me atleast!".He responded, "Nothing! you wouldn't understand"."Try me then", I pleaded."Prithvi is his son and mom is getting discharged now,so I got to go ",he jabbered. and left. At first I could not understand by 'his' whom he meant.Then I realised Prithvi was Varun's half brother.By "his" Varun meant his dad.Yeah life is messed up for him.
