CHAPTER ONE

It happens so that sometimes the human mind sets itself into complications . " CHOICE " becomes a difficult factor . Choice is that thing which is present in the lives of all big and small ,the poor and the rich the White and black . But this common factor is what defines us , what makes us who and what we our. Natalie Bronx too had a choice to make as she walked into the breathtaking woods of Scotland . The air gushed past her face , leaving goosebumps on her fair hands, and making her hair to fly. She was ahead of her sister Daisy who was catching up with Natalie who was up to something . She was heading for old granny Margaret's house , whose finger licking fish smelled everywhere in the radius of 100m from her house . Natalie remembered her school days when she used to spend her summer vacations with her grandmother , and bake chocolate chip cookies. Once in those days she had gone to the barley fields with Jason , her fast friend who was grandmother's neighbour's son and watched the sunset where suddenly he had kissed her and she ran home . After that her visits became quite infrequent . Now she was a girl of 24
capable of facing the world ,fighting for herself and redefining strength . Contrary to Daisy she was least interested in dating boys ;unanimously. Maybe Daisy's physique and charisma made her so . But she knew her sister was different , she definitely looked older than she was : 16 . But it was quite common for girls to have boyfriends at 16. Natalie's trip to her grandmother was for a reason . She was Natalie's only advisor , a lady of complete experience and a true problem solver. Natalie knew that she could be the only one who could solve this problem . She walked into the woods hurriedly finding her way , brushing away the old memories , where the smell of fried tuna lingered around an old house , looking like an ancient house with brick red roof and rusted windows. She looked up at the chimney where the smoke was slowlyuncoiling like snakes . " daisy" she said " come fast we found grand Ma 's house ", but her voice was pale , no excitement or sadness but seemed full of worry. Daisy was dressed completely like a "cool" teenager . She wore a pair of rugged black denim shorts with a pink crop top showing her flat belly and huge black boots that pierced into the deep wet soil . She was listening to rock music and was constantly typing something in her phone .

Natalie entered the house . It was warm inside . She sat down on the old dusty couch and looked around when grandma came out from the kitchen which a pan of sizzling tuna . " Natalie my darling , I was waiting for u " she said "you look so dead like ur old grandpa George " she said and laughed . Natalie thought it was quite rude of her grandma to make such a comment but she knew all about the jolly nature of her grandma and continued " umm actuall..." And she was stopped when the door slammed open .daisy entered and Her muddy boots looked very old and she stumbled as she entered . She looked as if she ran all the way and came to her grandma's house . She was least interested in what Natalie had come to talk about but had only come there to meet Jason . So she came in , lightened up and went out . Natalie looked around and began " grand Ma it's been 3 years since dad's having an affair" . Granny Margaret's face lost its happiness. Shock and worry had enveloped her wrinkled face as she put her trembling hands over her grand daughters shoulders. Natalie knew that maybe she was not capable of knowing this truth but she said " he denies it all the time , and we know mother is suffering because of this , mentally she is ruined . She does not want a divorce " everything was silent for a moment . The birds began to sound full of sorrow and the wind was angry . But this was a blow to the beautiful marriage of a doctor and a simple housewife. It was not something great but it surely was a subject of great concern for Natalie . She could not see her family split . She knew her mother would not be able to do anything , she knew she had to get her sister on track , she knew she had to start earning , and for all this , the time was less.....
