Angel-a hope for the broken

1.

It was the time when I was 18 years old."Beep",my phone rang.I woke up and saw my phone.It had a notification.I had a fresh mail in my inbox.When I opened my inbox,I had a mail from IIT Delhi.I read it and was overjoyed as I had cracked IIT.I went and informed my parents.They were also happy.I felt heroic as I had defeated thousands of applicants and got an admission.I had sacrificed my whatsapp,friends and what not for this admission.During that time I lived in New York with my conservative Indian family.I was the only child in the family.It had  both advantages and disadvantages.I was the most pampered child.But,I.also had to take the heavy burden of the pressure of my parents.Since,my childhood, my parents expected a A+ grade in my report card.To fulfill their wish I had to sacrifice my childhood .I was a child who was kept away from everyone.My parents believed that so called 'firangies' will destroy my future and I will drift away from my goal which is actually their goal.I had always felt a need of a small brother or sister to whom I could share my feelings and problems.My mother was my only friend.I would share my problems with her but,I can never share all my feelings to her.We all have our own problems which we can't share to our parents.I always wanted to be free from my parent's control.IIT was the idea of my parents.They wanted to show off in our family that their son is an IITian.The time they heard the news ,they went to inform all of
my relatives.They could broadcast it faster than anyone.I was happy only because I will get my freedom.I had just one month's time to pack and set free to India.
