Her Alone

Chapter 4

Prerna's POV

I woke up at 12 as I am not a morning person from the day I was born and I am proud of it as nowadays I am getting better with my life coming back to track again.

I meet Deepika and Kaira everyday and we enjoy our time with each other.
Kaira has a boyfriend and both of them have been together for about 2 years and are very happy together.
But Deepika is a girl who always runs away from the things that look like a boy so her life is only us being in it and my and Kaira's love life and also our crazy doings.

We are proud that we are crazy as hell and Deepika only sit and watch us and laugh like a maniac.
Although Kaira is one year older than us but that doesn't make us distant. Alsooo Kaira is the shortest one in us so you know🤪 we always tease her.

I thank god that I have two really loving best friends from my childhood.
I am enjoying my life these days.
I also unfollowed and unfriend my ex from all the socials so that I won't have to see him.
But my so called bestfriends are still connected to me through social medias as I just can't unfollow them I don't know why.

I am going to be in my higher secondary class that is 11th class soon and I still can't decide which stream to choose among Medical, Non-Medical and Commerce.
Although my parents advised me to take commerce as my sibling who is 6 years older than me, my bhai Rakshit also did commerce and from three years he is in Canada for his higher studies in college and is also doing a job as an accountant. Not to brag but my bhai is a topper so I can get all the benefits from him as per my parents which I think is true.

So I have decided that I would choose commerce and submit the form tomorrow for admission in my school.
And also I would be thankful that I won't see their faces as they once told me that they want to do non medical.

But they all are not very good in studies so I don't know if their interests have changed over the time period but I hope that whatever their interests are they are just not in my class.

I still have 3 pending board exams before a 10 day break and then finally 11th class.
In 11th, I would really not trust anyone and will be happy with my company only as I don't want to get hurt anymore. In this generation, you can't expect anything from anyone but still you can expect everything from yourself.

I looked at my mom when she called me making me get out of my overthinking.
"Prerna, tomorrow is your Papa's and my marriage Anniversary so we are going out to celebrate." My mom told me. Yes tomorrow is my parent's anniversary and they are a very loving couple but I don't want to go out as I just want to stay in my bed studying, eating and sleeping.

"Yeah mom I know but I don't want to go out. Why don't we just celebrate at home and we can also video call bhai?" I asked my maa but she being she, she refused right away and said that it's final that we are going out and I am coming with them and we can call bhai there also😐.

Me having no option just agreed with her as you know in a brown household your mom's orders are the supreme court's orders so you have to obey them at any cost.

The next morning, I went to school to submit my admission form and came home.

I ate some fruits which my mom peeled for me and then started studying for my social sciences exam.
At 7 p.m. we all started getting ready and went to my parent's favourite restaurant where we ordered our favourite dishes and talked about their marriage.
As their marriage was an arranged marriage there were alot of things which were their firsts and I listened to them with awe while bhai was on video call with us.

After dinner, we went back home and played a few games like rummy and Ludo together.
When the clock ticked 12 a.m., we went to our rooms and slept as tomorrow is Holi (an Indian festival in which people colour each other and forget all their past fights and forgive each other).

But I don't like Holi because I find it very illogical as why would someone get dirty with colours first and water and then bath again wasting a lot of water. Also I don't like its reason.
But somehow my best friends always drag me but I just tell them sternly that if you applied colour on my face then I would kill you, so scared of my threat they won't colour me and I would just sit there watching them play and making funny videos of them.

As my phone ringed, I picked it up without glancing at the caller's id.
Kaira shouted," For how many more hours you have to sleep?" I jumped from my bed after listening to her shouting over the phone.

She continued," Come outside we are playing Holi"
I said," I will come but you remember the condition right?"
She said yes and hung up on me😑

I quickly brushed my teeth and went outside to watch them play Holi. Kaira, Deepika were playing Holi along with Kajal, Krish, Nandini and Kanishka together.

Kajal and Krish are siblings who live as tenants with their parents in Kaira's house. Nandini and Kanishka were our other neighbours' daughters and they all are our good friends.

While sitting there, my mind went to last year's Holi when Sachit told me that he wanted to colour me but I told him that I don't like Holi and he sighed. I chuckled sadly at the thought of him and wanted to hear those words today also and this time I would have said that I also want to colour him instead.
But it was all my imagination and then suddenly someone attacked me with a water balloon. I got up and saw that it was Krish and he is always like this teasing others. I got angry and started throwing water balloons on him too and coloured him and others.
I have played Holi after a lot of years and I won't deny that I didn't enjoy it but I won't accept it either.
When my parents saw me playing Holi they had big smiles on their faces.

While playing Holi, I mentally thought as what did I do to have such amazing best friends?
With this thought, we all played Holi and enjoyed it alot.
