She was full of emotions and had a lot to say but couldn't. Just because, she was a girl? Society is too biased. We never know what one is going through. We assume things and then consider them reality. In the same society, she lived. The only thing she required to live her life to the fullest was, freedom, independence. But there was time in it. She had to wait so long to live her life, to feel everything.
Amaya was a girl who lived in a small town with her family. Her mother died when she was born. She was the youngest and had 3 elder brothers. Her father worked in a wood shop. As she was the only girl in the house, she should have been the one who gets all the love from everyone. This is what people thing. But reality was somewhat different. She wasn't loved by anyone. She was thought to be burden on all. She was a university student. Only she knows how she had attended school and college under thousand restrictions. Her university was far away from the town where she lived. But sye wasn't allowed to live in hostel. Because, her family thought she might stand against them once she gets out of house with full freedom. They had no idea that by doing all this, a lava has been forming in Amaya's heart which would one day burst and that day, no body will be able to stop her to get her freedom. Amaya always knew her limits but the only thing that hurt her was, that her family doesn't trust her. She wanted her family's support which was not there. She used to go to university by travelling 2 hrs and for that she had to leave at 5 in the morning. She used to come back at 8 in the evening. Along with all this, whole house's responsibility was on her shoulders and in return she used to get only one thing, hatred.
Amaya sometimes used to think that would her life change one day? Would she be able to fulfill her dreams? Would she get the freedon she always wished for? And the answer for this was only one, "Hope".
It was her last day of university. She had secured the highest position in her batch and had got gold medal. That day, she was having a farewell. She wasn't feeling well that day. But she had to go to the party at university for her friends. She had promised them that she would come and Amaya never broke promises. She was a girl whom when commits something, fulfills it at every cost. She got ready for the party. She was looking so elegant in gown. She had covered her head like always with a very pretty shimmer scarf. She asked her brother to drop her to university because she wasn't well and travelling through bus would make her condition more worse. But, her brother refused. Amaya looked up at him with 5ears in her eyes but there was nobody to care. She left, with a heavy heart. She reached university at time but her condition wasn't good enough. She had high fever. But her will power was higher than anything else. She attended the party, received her degree, certificates, medals and above all this, she was offered job by a person who came as a chief guest in the party. He gave her the appointment letter and asked her to visit his office after the weekend. He also gave her his card, so that she can contact him. Almost at 4, she left from the university. She took the taxi and told the driver to drop her at the nearby bus stop. She was in a condition that she could faint anytime but she didn't tell anybody. When she reached the bus stop and got out of the taxi, there was no bus. The bus had already left and now she had to wait till 6 for the second bus. There were 2 hours. She had no other option but, to sit there. When she was about to sit on the bench, she fainted and fell down. This was the time, her eyes got closed and she had no idea about anything.
