A Peek Into The Life Of A Brown Girl

Chapter Twenty Eight

Anamika's pov :

It's exam season!! Stress and caffeine have been really high. It's only a week till finals and I and the group are just studying and being alive on caffeine with no sleep. It's been really stressful since our result is going to decide which college we will go to. My friends who stayed over last night studying went home for a change of clothes. They will be back in an hour. I decided to take a quick shower. The doorbell rang just as came out of the shower. I went down to open the door. " Come on guys let's go" I ushered them upstairs. " Wait!" called out Maa. " First seat and eat something," she said. " Maa we don't have the time. We have to study for finals " I said.

" Annie come and sit here, and you kids too," said Papa. I groaned and sat down with my friends. " Annie you need to relax beta, you guys have been working too hard," said Papa. " Yeah, I know you are stressed about the exams but taking some time off for yourself is not wrong " said Maa. " You guys have not been sleeping and the amount of caffeine you are consuming is harmful. You need to relax and take some rest " said Bhai.

" We can't afford that right now, our finals are in a week and this result is going to decide our future " I exclaimed.

" We understand that sweetheart but you gotta have a balance. Rest is as important as studying " Papa explained.

" Yeah, if you won't take rest it will affect your health. And if you are not healthy, all your efforts will go to waste na " explained Maa. " So just take a day off, get some sleep and then go out to relax "advised Bhai. " I guess you are right, we do need some rest " I agreed. " What do you say guys?" I asked. My friends nodded in agreement and we decided to get some sleep and then go out in the evening. My friends decided not to go home and instead sleepover at mine. We thanked my parents and bhai and went upstairs to get some sleep.

We woke up around 6 in the evening, feeling very refreshed. We went down and met Maa and Bhai, Papa had gone for a meeting. " Hey kids!, how are you feeling now after getting proper sleep ?" asked Maa. " So refreshed and energetic " exclaimed Ishita. " Yeah we didn't even realize how much sleep we were missing " said Sara. " It happens when you get engrossed in the study too much," said Aditi. " I feel fresher than I have ever felt in days " exclaimed Rohan. " This is why you should always listen to us," said Bhai. " You are right Bhai, thank you for forcing us to sleep, " I said. " You are welcome sis " said Bhai.

" So what are your plans for the evening?" asked Maa. " Well, we are thinking of going to the trampoline

park," I said. " Oh, that's a great idea! " Bhai said. We went to my room to get ready while Maa prepared some snacks for us as we had slept through lunch. We ate the snacks and went to the trampoline park. We played bowling, and various trampoline activities and ate some amazing food on the way home. Rohan dropped us to our homes. As I entered my home, I met my parents.

" So how was it ? " asked Papa. " It was just what we needed " I exclaimed. I thanked them and went to my room. The study sessions will be back from tomorrow.
