Life of Problems

chapter 5

Jiya disappeared as usual after school.  Me and Kathy were doing our homework in the room after freshen ourselves up.

Hey Ema , can you explain me this? Kathy said suddenly pointing a topic on her biology book. Do you think I am good enough?Ask Jwel before school starts tomorrow, I said sadly.

You're not good at biology? What about math then? And physics.... chemistry?? Kathy was going to ask more.

Shut up, my dear sis. I am an idiot.  If you wanna ask about biology or chemistry then ask Jwel and if you wanna ask about physics or math then...... ( I hesitated for a moment ) then ask Jiya, I said.
Jiya??! Will she reply? Kathy asked in wonder.

Sure. In case of doubts in math or physics, she always replies. I have gotten help from her a lot of times in the past..... (hahahhaha)
What?! Hahaha.. will you haha... dare to talk hahahaha to her??!  I said jokingly and burst into laughing.

Yeah!! Why are you laughing?!! Anyways. Why not? I will when she comes back. Umm... what is your future plan then , I mean what do you wanna be? Kathy asked.

"Doctor", I said in a disgusting voice.
Doctor? Didn't you just say that you don't like biology? Why doctor then...?

I smiled embarrassedly, Actually.... my parents really want me to be a doctor.

Kathy made a face of dissatisfaction. Seriously?? I didn't expect this from you.....what do you really like???

I like literature..., I said in a low voice.

That means you wanna be a writer right ?? Have you written any noVEl ?? POEM?? Kathy asked excitedly.

I laughed for her reaction....

Calm down.... Don't need to shout. I am not so good at it. Umm.... I have written two novels, I said.

How was the sell??? Kathy is still exacted.

Sell??!! Idiot! I haven't published them, you're the first to know about those,  I said. Why...? Kathy's excitement disappeared.
If I publish them , I have to tell my parents. They will be really disappointed to know that I am wasting my time in this kind of... sluff . The novels are... not good enough anyway, sounded like I was consoling myself.

Okay listen... you know I like boxing so much from my childhood,  I wanted to learn it from a good teacher. But...our family is very rich,  traditional and respective in onr city. Grandpa said that child of our family can't choose a cheap profession like boxing. But I liked it so much that I couldn't just let go , I started learning it secretly from a teacher in our neighborhood last year. I was leaning just fine but my uncle saw me to enter in the teacher's house one day and reported to my dad. I am here for that reason.... as a punishment you can say cause rules are really strict.. Kathy was talking in a very low voice and she lowered her face in the middle of talk. Was she crying??

You know? You're a brave girl.  I wouldn't have even dared to learn it secretly if I was at your place. Honestly,  I felt like the man came with you first day was threading you then, I said.

Kathy raised her face. Her eyes were full of tears but she smiled. Cause,  my dad was really threading me , she said.

Don't you feel like we're similar? There's Nick also, I said

What's with him?? Kathy asked.

His family is not so strong financially. Though he likes arts but his mind is full with thought that he has get a well salaried job and support his family, I said.
And his family?? Kathy asked.
They're so sweet, like his friends.  I heard uncle saying him that , 'don't always think about money dear, it's your time to enjoy life, just trust in your dad.'

Oww!!!! I wish I had that type of family, Kathy exclaimed. Nick should just follow his dream,  money is nothing.  And what about Jwel??

It's kinda, umm..... he is very good at study, he is so handsome ,family is also rich and no family will disagree with the idea of being a doctor what he wants. I wondered. Umm... hey , I think he is living the perfect life , I said.

Perfect life? How can it be...... Kathy silently thought for a moment. Right.... I don't see any problems in his life,  Kathy agreed with me.
