Prologue

30th March 2018.

It was the darkest twilight of this year. I was standing on the porch with lots of thoughts running in my mind. I looked at the sky it has no stars or moon left. 'We are reading the same page' I felt. I turned on thinking about the future and a teardrop escaped from my eyes.

Summer holidays are appearing, board exams are going to finish off, everyone is happy about their holidays but I'm the one who is waiting to embark on a new world. I don't know whether that world will recognize me are not. This silence makes me think negative so I went to the hall. My parents were worried about me. It hurts me a lot.

'When are we leaving for Pondicherry?' I asked my mother.

'Tomorrow at 3 a.m.' she said.

'Okay then. I'm going to bed early' I said and left to bed.

I couldn't sleep but I pretended to sleep when my father came to my room. He sobbed. I'm not in the place to say everything will be alright. I hugged my Teddy Bear and whimpered silently.

We shifted our baggage onto the car. Then I suddenly heard a voice. "I have heard this voice" I turned back to look at them. It's Fazan and Syed. I was stunned after looking at them.

'Wow! What a surprise? What made you both getting up here?' I taunted at them.

Syed caught my ear and clamped it. I screamed. Fazan closed my mouth. 'How can you leave us here and get on to Pondicherry?' Syed asked.

My mother rushed outside recklessly hearing my voice. After noticing Fazan and Syed she took a deep breath. 'You scared me to death.' She said.

'None can touch her except us. And I believe that you know the reason.' Fazan said. She smiled and went inside.

'So, I'm the only one who doesn't know about your arrival?' I asked.

'Absolutely!' they shouted together.

'Thank you!' I said.

They knocked my head one by one. 'It's painful idiots,' I cried out.

'It's time. Can we leave?' my father asked.

'Appa shall I drive the car?' Fazan asked.

'No worries. I can manage' they both quarreled like children.

Ha... Men I know are grown-up kids. We three looked at them and waiting for their fight to end. Their fight looked like two kittens are fighting each other. I lost my patience.

'Let me drive the car!' I confessed.

Everyone wailed "NO!".

'As everyone except me not to drive the car, I decided to drive the car. Give me the keys' I said and sat on the drives seat. My father gave me the keys. I started the car. My father came to sit in front. I blocked him by saying 'Men are at the back.'

'But I'm your father. Don't you love me?'

'I love you, Mohan. But this is a special ride. So… I guess you got that.'

Mohan is my father. I call him like this from my childhood. As I was the only girl child, my parents gave me lots of love and liberty.

Everyone sat at their places. I rode the car. We started our journey peacefully. 'Do you know the way to Pondicherry?' Syed asked.

'No!' I said.

'What?' Syed and Fazan shouted.

'What "what?" then why are you guys are for? Did you come to sleep or enjoy the long journey? I let out. 'Be my GPS!!!'

'Mmm…mmm… We are making a note of this. You will reap after this surgery.' Fazan warned me.

We enjoyed our path with adorable memories of the past. We five forgot the reason for the voyage and enjoyed the conversation.

'Do you remember how we traveled to Ooty in our 10th standard summer holidays?' Fazan asked.

'Yeah, I asked you to go to the left and you took right. We ended up on the wrong road. That was the most memorable moment of our trip.' I said.

We reached Pondicherry within 5 hours. We went to our respective rooms. I threw myself on the bed and slept peacefully.

I don't know what's going to happen in the future but I'm celebrating these moments. Who knows I'm may not exist in the future. If I exist that's going to be the worst life on going to live.
