VICIOUS POND

Banned...!!!

Coming back from school, I wafted into my room. I leaned beside my bed fully lost in my thoughts 'Why I was not able to tell them that? I have been deciding about that since last night, that I will tell them about it? What kept me from doing it?' Then I just consoled my brain by muffling 'No it was not the right time Maddy and what you did is best for everyone.' And it worked, my mind calmed.

I opened my bag as idea of writing suddenly popped into my head. I smiled cause I was could see my future in my new diary. My eyes overfilled with tears as the memory of my harsh stepmother and evil sister took over my mind and I saw them burning all my life work, all my hard work on the blazes of fire, and I could see their heinous smiles on their faces. Wave of terror splashed into my heart as I imagined them doing the same thing with my new diary. The fast thuds of my heart rose a havoc out of me and I raced out of my memories. I quickly hugged my new diary and my new pen and kissed them like a mama kissing her baby. I don't want to lose them again at any cost. Opening a new page advent of a new chapter and a new story began and I kept writing nonstop.

After few hours I got distracted by a phone call, it was Alex, but I didn't picked up and switched off my cell phone. I didn't wanted anyone to disturb me or I would forget what I was writing. It was after so long that I met my diary so I just wanted to spend whole time with my new diary and keep writing.

My room door was set open by someone but I was so engaged in writing that I didn't even realize that, it was Betty, but when the room door was left open by her I got alerted that it was her and she would have gone to tell Aura about my new diary.

I stood up distressed and I hurried towards balcony to hide my diary cause Aura would definitely check my whole room except balcony. I hunched beside my bed and sat in the same posture and started doing my homework. I fakely tied up myself with the horrifying maths homework so that Aura don't catch me lying. I was worried I don't wanted to lose my diary again. I tried to cover my tense face but when I felt some footsteps coming towards my room, my hands started shivering, the sweat beads formed on my forehead and my heart beat twiced. As the footsteps reached my room door I fully paralysed and when the footsteps came in front of me I looked up and I saw Dad, behind him stood Aura and Betty. 'What are you doing Maddy?' Dad's huge voice took down the muteness of my room.

'I am doing my homework Dad,' I softly spoke out controlling the terror.

'Betty go and check her work what is she doing?' Dad ordered. This proved that now Dad have no trust in me and Aura is succeeding in her aims. Betty walked with demonic expression beside me, and my fathers gazes moved with her as she checked my copy. Lady luck smiled at me and my heart spoke 'Thank god it was not your diary'. She was shocked to see my school notepad in my hands and her smile went to deathbed. She said with her innocent looks 'How can this be possible I saw her with her new diary mom. I am sure she is hiding it from us, she is too wise an--'

Dad hushed her by saying 'Enough of it Betty, stop lying, its your habit you always wish to see me scolding Maddy and you have been doing this from start.' My heart was like 'yay...'

'I am sure your daughter is hiding it but if I caught her writing again I am gonna punish her by banning her from going school as I am her mother I will decide what's best for her,' Aura interrupted by coming near to Dad and by setting his tie. I knew it was to hide her daughters faults. She always seek Dad's attention in such situations to save Betty.

But the cloud of happiness vanished above me when I saw Dad agreeing with her. Standing up with direct eye contact with Aura I said in a firm voice 'You are not my mother and don't you dare compare yourself to my mother, you bit--'

Dad slapped me in front of them before I could complete my sentence and asked me to sorry Aura, which I won't at any cost. I stood there quite with my gazes down. Dad was appalled to see my attitude and he left ordering 'No more writing from tommorow Maddy!' I tried to interrupt but he left without listening to me.

Aura and Betty saw me contentedly. It seemed like I was losing the war which I raged against them years before and they were the winning side but am strong as my mother so I stood there steady and firm like I don't care what happened. Aura stepped forward and said 'You saw your father, he is no more yours and you heard him, you gotta agree with my decisions so listen girl you are not going school from tommorow until you apologize,' she left with her daughter slamming my room door.

*'How can they do this to me...?? And Dad how can he fall in that bitch's propagandas... I wish mom was here!
One day I will go away from this bloody house and I will be what I want to be, no power can stop me from doing it!!!' I cried as river of tears came down my rosey cheeks.
I vowed myself for never being sorry for what I said as I was right and I never lose any war that I rage.

I slumped down on my lavish bed and embraced its warmth and comfort which dragged me into my world of dreams and I went into a long slumber.
