Her Unreasonable Smile

Chapter 1:A new beginning

Kyara's Pov:
Sitting in the car,pulling down the window glasses, i let the fresh air of the city to touch my face.I closed my eyes as i wanted to feel the air of this 'City of Dreams'.I wanted it  to get into my nerves,i took a long breathe as i wanted to feel this moment and  inhale every inch of this city's air.I closed my eyes and memories flashed in my mind of  how i used to google this city's name and wonder if i would ever be able to come here. I got so lost in that feeling that the next thing i heard was my granny shouting next my ears to close the window glasses as we were about to reach..Granny asked me,"Baby are you feeling okay?" I smiled and gave a confirmation nod to her.  My dad was a soldier,he died few years back in the battlefield..since then me and my mom stay in countryside and granny (my mom's mom) stays in new york..she comes to meet us evry year.I wonder why we never go to new york to visit her,whenever i raise this topic in front of her she just trails off by saying,"We'll go next year Baby!" But her next year never comes,god knows why!Mom wasn't too happy hearing the news of my scholarship..she even tried to stop me from going..but it was my granny who literally pleaded in front of her to take me to New York.I once saw them having a secret conversation in a room.I tried to listen by hiding behind the door which was slightly open;but it was hardly audible;as if they were talking about a secret mission or planning to tackle someone like a gangster.Being an 18 year old teen i decided to leave them alone and give them privacy and not to interfere unless its harming my journey to new york.I sat on the couch and started watching Suits (my fav tv series) I just love to see how Harvey(the tv character who is a lawyer) handles his cases so confidently with great determination.He is a real hero for me;sometimes i think of becoming a lawyer but i cant rush over a decision on which my whole life is depended.As of now my focus is to complete my graduation in new york;then i'll decide my further plan.
     The door of my mom's room opened,I looked back to see them;they both came towards me;both had watery eyes;they gave me  a tight hug and the words that came out of my mom's mouth bought butterflies in my stomach.She said,"Pack your bags lil sweethaert,its time to start a new journey." After saying this,she hugged me so tightly that i was hardly able to breathe.I hugged her back and when she heard my sobbing noise she chuckled;she looked into my eyes,wiped my tears and said,"Stay strong princess, this world is not as good as you think, Its sweet as well as sour;the only thing you need is to stay alert." I smiled and nodded slightly.
  However i knew that this year,only I or a couple of students would be a newbie in the college coz the scholarship test was held after my freshman year in my homeplace.So it might be hard for me to find new friends coz evryone would have their own group as off now..But thats cool coz I don't need a gang of friends to hang out with;i would be happy with a couple of frnds and I don't think it would be hard to find atleast 1 or 2 in a population of 1000s.
   When it was time for a final goodbye to my mom; the feeling i had that time was like leaving a body part forever;we stood there holding hands of each other for fifteen minutes.Mom kept giving me 100s of instructions which is natural amongst mothers and after my dad,my mom was the only one who took care of me,so she became a lil overprotective these days. Finally she let me free so that i can say goodbye to john and emma who are my besties and were always there whenever i needed them.I promised to call them frequently and before leaving Emma said,"Remember kyara,You have only one bff and thats me!Don't you dare make another one there!" This made me smile and i nodded and replied,"Obviously dumbo,You are my only bff!"
     I took my bag and thought if i haven't missed anything to pack and then i suddenly remembered that my lucky charm is still lying on my bed.I stopped halfway and ran back into my house.My mom came behind me.I rushed into my room and saw that it wasn't there.I was so confused.coz i wasn't able to think where i kept it.I looked here and there and found my mom leaning on the side wall and looking at me.She smiled and said,"Are you looking out for this?" And saw that she was holding it.I smiled and came towards her.As soon as i was about to take that from her,she took it away and said softly,"Stop believing in these things dear,there is nothing called as luck,keep it here itself and go." I argued with her and said,"Mom it was you who told me that Dad gave me this thing when i was 10 yrs old;now don't take it away from me."I took it from her,smiled and gave her a kiss on her right cheek and said goodbye.I rushed towards the door and sat in the car.
   And finally I am here!yeahh.!New York it is!The car stopped and when i came out of the car.Granny pointed towards her house and it was like a mansion.Oh god!! Granny is filthy rich!I wonder why mom never comes to this place.At the entrance,grandpa was standing with flowers in his hand.I was rolling my eyes here and there to get a good look of the house and also the neighbourhood.OMG! This is beautiful! As soon as we approached grandpa.He greeted me with a tight hug and gave me the lilies which he was holding since i don't know how long.He said softly,"Welcome home lil princess!"Then he turned towards granny,hugged her and removed a rose from his side pocket and gave it her."This requires a photo moment!" I exclaimed and removed my cellphn from my side pocket and took a cute picture of the adorable couple.I wonder how they are still so much in love with each other.I wish my dad was alive.
     Granny showed me my room which was upstairs.I was sooo amazed by the look of my room.Indeed grandpa did a lot of preparations before our arrival.The room had baby pink colour walls,a huge window,the curtains were hung in such a way that I had only one word to describe it"Amazing!"There was a sitting area near the window,just the way I always wanted, with three cushions (they had a slight pinkish print but all of them had a different texture).Also there were two photoframes:one of mom and one of dad.
I had an AWWWW moment when i entered the room. Grandpa asked,"Did you like it?" I turned to look at him,jumped with joy and hugged him soo tight and exclaimed,"I loved it!"
Then we had dinner and I unpacked my suitcases and after such a long day..I dozed off.
