Alone Or Lonely?

KITTY OR NO KITTY

A girl in her mid twenties, lay still in her cozy bed inside her well furnished bedroom. She looked calm and composed from outside but one could sense from her facial expressions and constantly moving eyelids that she was in deep thought. Even the cold breeze that blew inside from the window and kissed her pink rosy cheeks couldn't bring her back to life.

Sometimes we often find ourselves lost deep in thoughts but every time its difficult to guess what has dropped us so deep!

"Day dreaming, are you?" exclaimed a familiar feminine voice behind the closed bedroom door, following which a peculiar knock was heard on the door. Surely this noise made the girl conscious of her being and she quickly straightened up."What has been wrong with you?"asked the voice filled with a typical feminine rage. I know punctuality has never been one of your attributes but that doesn't mean you will keep me waiting for four hours at the kitty and not even drop in for a guest appearance, when you were specifically told to be there! Everyone was asking about you. You know, I would now have to keep on justifying that sheepish expression I was bearing in there for so long, to every member of the kitty for weeks! Is it so difficult for you to understand that we live in a community with gossip mongers and overcritical people who are just looking out for even a slightest chance to demean you vehemently!

All this while the girl just sat up straight but her head was buried deep down in her hands with a familiar disappointment. "Are you even listening to me?" came the feminine voice, this time in a screaming tone though.

"Yes Mom, I am listening" said the girl with an annoying grin. "I have always told you I hate your kitties where people roam around with fake smiles and exchange pleasantries with their artificial words. I just don't care what those judgmental people think about me! I feel suffocated in there and not to mention irritated as well! I just fail to understand how can anybody find solace with such a company around!"

The Mother remained silent for a while. It took her some time to digest this fit of rage of her daughter. Since childhood, as every normal kid the girl too was an obedient child or to say an innocent child with simple dreams and expectations. Daddy's little girl and the star of her Mother's eye, the girl grew up to truly becoming an ambassador of her parent's dreams and ambitions. Say it societal pressure or sometimes even buttering own pride, just for the mere satisfaction of being able to boast of in front of a group of spectators, we often are made to do things which we simply hate, but call it mere fate or inability to retaliate, all of us have to pass through this phase sometime in our lives! This little girl however was a little more fortunate, to have such a phase that overshadowed almost a major chunk of her adolescence. Since then there had always been an undesired silence, an unabridged gap between the girl and her parents that made its brief encounters in its own form at such situations.

Tucking away this anthology of old memories in a secluded corner of her heart, the mother in her casual dictating expression exclaimed, "O Lord, look at you! Have you been struck by some tornado? We have to attend the Society dinner tonight and you should be the center of attention! Just go up to the Spa and get yourself in order."
