Letter to GOD

Fear

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" ― John Lennon

Chapter 6 - unedited

"Wake up, Honey!", I heard Amu calling me. I tried to open my eyes but the vision and sound started to fade away as I fell asleep again. After a short while I started shaking and I heard 3-4 voices screaming, " Earthquake! Earthquake! Earthquake! " I jumped off bed and ran straight to the portico but I realized that there is no earthquake.

I got really furious and went up stairs again. Daddy cool was standing there and laughing, I tapped hin on the back and stared at him. He became a little serious after he saw me like that. " Why were you screaming Earthquake! Earthquake!, what if it really occured?" I asked him. "no, we did that to wake you up. Its already 10 o' clock."

Umm... I wanted to say something to him but I thought it was already 10 and it was I who didn't wake up on time. They were my parents after all, they had to improve my sleeping habits. But using earthquake, I was still a bit angry because that fear of the earthquake was still there inside me and maybe inside many other people as well.

" Honey Dijju" Adi called me, " I want hot chocolate, can you make it for me? Please." I came out of my thoughts. " Huh, ah what did you say?" I asked Adi. He understood that I was not paying heed to his words so he shook his head, "Uff... Let it be, I'll ask someone else to make it." I couldn't disappoint my little brother, he was such a sweetheart. " NO, no I'll make it for you. I was just thinking about..." I couldn't complete my sentence as chills went down my spine. I was just afraid to talk about it. " umm... earthquake?" Adi added. " yeah! OK, come on lets make you some hot chocolate.

While I made hot chocolate for Adi, I made a cup for myself as well. I started drinking it. As usual many thoughts crossed my mind. One of them was about today's plan. Amu and I were supposed to go to Daffodil, my school, to check the condition of the building. Some teachers, members of the management, and other staffs were staying there, so it was necessary for me as a student and Amu as a parent to go and see how all of them had been. I thought of calling Atisha, my best friend, we did speak to each other once after the earthquake but we weren't in touch after that. I picked up the phone and dialed her number. "Sorry, the number you are trying is currently switched off. " I got this same response the next 6 times.

I looked at the clock, oh GOD, time really flies. It was already twelve o'clock. Lunch was ready. Anu mommy ( my granny) called me for lunch. I took the plate, took a little of everything that was laid in front of us and my favorite "chilly pickle". As usual I sat in front of the computer, eating, using Facebook and Wattpad. Basically doing three things at a time, which people think will spoil everything. But according to me it didn't spoil anything, rather made us more swift and cautious. I finished my lunch in no time, washed my hands and mouth and rushed back to the computer. " this girl will never improve. Always in front of the computer, Raja I'm telling you, she'll spoil her eyes and studies if this goes on." Anu mommy complained to Daddy cool. Raja meaning King, is what she calls him. " Our Honey is very talented, don't worry whatever she does will be good." Daddy cool said Anu mommy, as always speaking in my favor. I gave a bright smile and continued surfing the net.

It was now time that we had to leave for school. We left at around 3 o'clock. When we reached school, we saw our computer teacher sitting at the front desk, attending calls. Once he was done he requested us to sit. "Thank you sir." Amu said. " So what is the situation like?" "We are fine ma'am but we have cracks in the building." "oh yes, we can see that." she said. " Where are everybody else?" Sir looked at her and said," The Directors, Principals, In charges and working staff have gone to Kavre to distribute the relief commodities to the people there." Our hearts swelled with pride to hear that our school was doing such noble work. We stayed there for some time and soon, it was time for us to leave.

It was already 6:30 in the evening, we were sure Daddy cool and mommy would be mad at us for leaving Kabir, my 3 month old brother and roaming around. As we entered inside, questions started bombarding one after the other. " what took you so long?" "why were you late?" etc etc... Then Amu started explaining them everything, about the relief commodities distribution and asked mommy if she could go along with them tomorrow to Sindhupalchok, which was 3 hours far from Kathmandu.

"What? Have you lost your mind? How can you go so far, leaving your little son here? And it's not at all safe. You are not going any where. You'll stay at home. okay?" Daddy cool said Amu. Daddy cool was no more cool, he was very angry. "Why can't she just stay at home?" he was still murmuring...
