The wall clock stuck 7:00 in the morning and I am still not asleep.
Papa would also be up soon and would probably be scolding me for not sleeping on time.
Today even I am confused what is the reason I am still awake, is this anxiety? Or is this existential crisis.
Need to decide this now because I have been procrastinating this for way too long. As again I was lost in my world , Papa opened the door to check whether I was asleep or not and as soon as he saw me using my phone he started the same old lecture about how my sick sleep schedule will one day gonna make me sick. Huh you know how Indian parents are, nevermind.
Though I was still far away from my decision I thought getting a good sleep will help me to decide what to do. So the next thing I did was shut my laptop went straight to my bedroom and then maximum 5 mins later I was dead sleep.
It's past 2 in the afternoon I could barely open my eyes but as something important decisions need to be taken I woke up without hesitation. My mom as usual was busy on her tab watching OG's Bollywood movies I silently went and sat next to her. Dad was off to work and my brother was still sleeping. I know my brother's sleep schedule is more fucked up than mine.
As I was checking my phone the morning ritual my whatsapp was full of those creepy good morning messages and some random college group messages about how my classmates gonna miss each other basically that end of college day bullshit. Suddenly everyone around you becomes sweet and all nice huh ik these people I have spend my 4years with them. Ik them pretty well how mean and arrogant they were to each other in the beginning of the college.
Anyway no bodys gonna remember each others names after 6 months.
(I guess till now you must be curious that who am I and ik I should give my proper introduction but let's go with the flow. I will unfold my everything according to the story.)
So yaa college is ending my precious 4years have ended tbh not so precious.
People were way too mean in my college. But though I had pretty good share of shitty memories of my college no doubt it did give me some cool people and memories.
Shinee ik who the fuck keeps their daughter name shinee I had the same reaction when I asked her name
on the first day. Bit mo doubt how gorgeous she was looking on the first day. Tbh when I had my first glance on her I thought damn dude I won't be able to be friends with her.
She had straight long black beautiful hair that was falling on her face, she had very basic yet classy nail extension also she was wearing a crop top paired with ripped jeans. Beautiful that was my first reaction on her.
On the other half I was dressed up as homeless man. Seriously I was wearing a top with jeans which was a hell a loose to me and I had my hair tied up in ponytail due to which I was looking way too horrible, no make up just some lip balm and a kholapori( specific type of sandal) also boards made me gain hell of weight my face was as big as a basketball.
Even today I think of how the hell she was agreed to be friends with me.
Oh I forgot to mention I also had crooked teeth like basically gap. I look less horrible when I don't smile.
Yaa that was a glimpse of my first day of college.
Back to present day I kept my phone aside my mom and went to loo for freshening up. As I was busy in taking care of my stuff mum shouted at me on the top of her voice " Paaa is calling you" and then I shouted on the top of my voice "pick the phone up and ask him why did he call".
As Mum was busy on the phone with dad I rushed things in the bathroom, came out and asked her "did you asked him?" She said "he was asking about your final decision". My mind was again came back to that delusion that I was running from.
I guess I can't run anymore I had to decide whether to study abroad or join the company as Product Manager.
I know it sounds simple but trust me it is not.
