8 Stepped in

"Okay kids, this much fight is enough for today. Now get separated from each other."Mom commanded and I sat on the sofa in front of the T.V. I took the remote and started to find movie.

"Hey! Give the remote to me. Today's a cricket match." Ro said.

"What?! Why you didn't told me earlier?" I replied and played the match.

"I forgot. Just now the score came on my phone's notification and I got to know that today's a match." He said.

"Oh! Okay, now keep your mouth close and just focus on the match." I told him.

"Woho! Its incredible. Both of them were fighting a few moments ago and now they are busy in watching the match together."Dad said to mom.

"Exactly! I don't understand both of them. Look, how they are watching the match. Shouting, laughing an-"Mom was interrupted by me.

"Its an out! Damn! We'll lost today."

"Oh just shut up your f***ing mouth! There are even better players left. We'll not loose."Ro replied.

"Did you saw that?! Its just so confusing to understand whether they are fighting or not." Mom said that word. Its definitely not a confusing day for only me. Its a world confusion day.

After two hours-

"Hurray! We won!" I shouted with extreme happiness.

"I told you that we'll not loose." Rohan said and I nodded.

"Okay, now the match is over. Our country has won also, so go to sleep. Especially you Alia, you've to go to school tomorrow." Mom ordered.

"And you too go to sleep Rohan. You are going to drop your sister tomorrow as we've paid any school transport for her till now." Dad added.

"Of course dad! I'll surely drop her. She's my sister, can't I even drop her at school!"Ro said while wrapping an arm around my shoulder. It was not confusing this time because I knew that Ro is trying to impress dad.

"Good." Dad said and this one word brought a broad smile on Ro's face.

"Ro, stop showing your yellow teeth to the walls and leave me."Mom and dad were gone and Ro didn't noticed it.

"Oh! They've gone. So let's go and sleep."

"Aren't you going to watch a movie today?" I asked him mockingly.

"Shut up and sleep you have a school tomorrow."He answered.

At morning-

"Get up Alia, its morning. You have to go to school." Mom came to wake me up.

"Just 2 minutes mom."

"No! get up right now."

"Okay-okay. I am getting up." I didn't argue.

I woke up and got ready. I sat on the dining table to have breakfast.

"Goodmorning dad."I wished dad when he came out of his room.

"Goodmorning dear, are you ready for school." He asked me.

"Yeah, what is there to be ready? Just the uniform." I said.

"No, its not just the uniform. You have to get ready to make new friends." Dad said.

Wait! What?! He just said that he wants me to make friends? But why? He never said that to me before because he knew that I am an introvert and if I make any friends I'll have to forget them because of my dad's transferr after every 2 years.

"Dad, Are you okay?"

"Of course I am."

"You know that we get transferred after every two years. So, why are you asking me to make friends this time. You didn't asked me to do that anytime before."

"Yeah dad, she's right. By the way, goodmorning." Ro came from the room.

"I know that you all are very confused by my actions but I can't tell you this now. Here's some time for you all to know the reason behind everything."

"Aaah! Why are you keeping this suspense?"Mom asked.

"Oh dear! You'll know it later. Alia, go to school now. Rohan eat breakfast after dropping her to school." Dad said and I took my bag and left the house.

"What do you think?" Rohan asked me.

"About what exactly?" I asked him in return.

"You know, about dad." He cleared.

"Oh! Well I don't know." I answered.

"But why?" He said.

"How would I know. He hasn't told me." I said in annoyance.

"Okay-okay. Calm down." He said.

We reached at the ground floor. Rohan's bike has arrived from Mumbai but the car has not arrived yet.

"Look, my bike's back." He said with stars in his eyes. I just don't know that why he loves his bike so much.

I sat behind him and then we headed towards the school. When we reached there, Ro said, "Listen here, I heard something about this school."

"What?"I asked him.

"That, uhm, actually dad told you to make friends here, but..." He was not able to say what he wanted to say.

"But?"

"Its difficult to make friends here."

"Its everywhere for me, in any school."

"Yeah I know but its difficult to make friends here for any person. Only rich kids come to this school and though we are rich but we haven't got that kind of atmosphere. We feel very different in that atmosphere, its not comfortable. And even I heard from neighbours that it is some kind of, uhm, dangerous."

"Urgh! Why the hell are you calling a school dangerous?!" I am annoyed now and frustrated too. The moment I shouted many people started to stare at us both. We were outside the school near the main gate where parents were dropping there kids.

"Listen, I didn't called this school exactly dangerous. And you know what, please sound a bit low." He said.

"Okay fine but I want to say to you that stay away from any of my school matter. Don't become my father from my brother." I warned him. I don't like that my family members become worried for me when something happens to me in school. They were even worried when they got to know that I don't have any friend but then dad said that its fine because he gets transferred after every two years and it would be difficult for me to make friends and then forget them.

"Okay but I am not becoming your father. Just trying to help you. I am leaving you may go and step into your new school." He seemed worried about me but I can't do anything.

I forgot about everything we talked and just stepped in the school.
