NOW YOU KNOW

PROLOGUE

Christine's pov:

"Christine..... you're gonna be late for your classes" said Marie.
" Mom I just don't want to" said Christine.

"Again you're arguing with mom Christine, how many times do I have to tell you that girls are not supposed to talk to their elders this way . They do what they are told to" and that is her elder brother Joshua. The proud son of Marie and Joseph (Christine and Joshua's parents)

This is torture for me... I don't want to be a doctor like my dad... they are putting me in classes which has nothing to do with the dream job I have in mind. I'm just wasting my time and energy living the dream of my dad. I want to join the CIA but they would never allow me to do that. For them, that must be a waste of time looking for killers and stuff but for me, that's having a life. Them and I don't belong on the same page and that's the problem.  I don't want to live like them I want to be free. I'm in class 12 now towards the end and still, they have these restrictions for me.. to be a lady, AN IDEAL LADY. But I don't want to be one, I want to be myself for just once break free from this cage. Money can't buy peace.

I was born and brought up in this aristocratic family and you must be wondering, my life is full of joy, and can do whatever I want... travel the world ..have power.. and so on. But there's no freedom. Childhood was taken from me as I have to be a Woman, not a girl because girls in our family don't mingle with the others like 'normal' kids. We are supposed to eat like a lady.. walk like a lady .. talk like a lady. Their idea of a Lady, rather than a Woman of society is a standard that I have to set. They want me to be a doctor. They have never for once thought about what I want in life. What I want to become of myself. Never and that's why I break free of this boundary and fly.

But as usual breaking from my inner thoughts, I got ready and went to take my classes.

*2 hours later*

I came out of my tuition and I was heading towards my car. That's when my eyes landed on a girl. She was sitting across from me on the bus stand. Her face and eyes looked tired. It made me feel like someone I can relate to. I tried to brush away my thoughts.  I got inside the car and our chauffeur started driving.
"Stop," said I. 
The chauffeur looked perplexed and stopped the car.
I got out of the car, crossed the road, and went straight to her. I really didn't want to come off as a creep. So I sat quietly beside her. I observed her for a few minutes and finally decided to break the silence.

"Hi," I said. She looked at me with those big eyes so deep and full of emotions I felt like she was going through something that I might very well understand.
She just smiled at me.. she was fair and had brown hair with the cutest and chubby face quite the opposite of what I look like.

"Is something wrong? Shall I drop you? I guess It'll start raining soon!" I said.
After quite some time which made me realize that she didn't even hear me. Finally, she said "Umm.. thank you but I don't want to trouble you"
" Oh it won't be of any trouble... I'll drop you "
After some moments of hesitation, she finally agreed. I don't know why she was someone who had something hidden deep inside her heart just like me and strangely I think we are on the same page. A strange feeling like my sixth sense is telling me to get close to her.

The chauffeur opened the door for us. He gave me a disappointed look and I know what was waiting for me at home. As this has already reached the ears of my parents. I helped a below-standard girl and ruined their reputation. The same old dialogues. We aren't the same and they don't understand. We are only supposed to do these for publicity stunts and not when the paps are not looking or clicking pictures of us.

I asked for her house address and she gave it without further questions. Before dropping her to her house I asked her name. It's Amyra. We exchanged our names and showed formalities.
I thought about her the entire time I went home.
