Lord Rama once said,
"No one can change the direction of the wind, but one can adjust the sails to reach the destination."

Sleep. A peaceful sleep is medicine for everything. A medicine for anxiety, a medicine for depression, a medicine for suicidal thoughts. Sleep changes everything, not the whole problem but at least it changes the way you look at the problem.
But,
"Sleep should be the last thing on your mind when your grades are poor."
"Look at Atharva, he is first again."
"Drink this coffee and study."
"Fifth position is not a good position, you at least need to be in top three."
"If I see you play games, I'll burn your computers."
"Use your head and study and not in games."
.
Grades is all Maa cares about. I can understand,
I can understand that parents have many expectations from their child, but, do they ever think what expectations their child have from them?
My grades were and are pretty good according to my IQ, but, for Maa, if I'm not in top three of my class, my grades nothing. The top three positions of my class are taken by Atharva, Evara and Ishani and help me, I can never envy them for something I never cared about.
But Maa,
She keeps comparing me with Atharva and Ishani, she keep telling me to envy my own friends and she keep telling me to top the class when it is the last thing on my mind.

My eyes opened to the bright face. A beautiful face. Ishani. Her face looked relaxed, nose covered in freckles, red spots on her cheeks, thick lashes and prettiest lips that was slightly open.
She is beautiful. I love the fact that she never tries to hide her pimples nor she tried to hide her freckles. She is even more ethereal because of them. And her lips, dear god-
.
Wait?!
Why the fuck am I staring at her face?!
Why the fuck am I even staring at Ishani's face?! She's my bestfriend, I'm not supposed to stare at her face and feel anything.
Wait a fucking minutes!
I'm holding her in my arms?!
Am I fucking cuddling Ishani in sleep?!
.
I slipped down from the bed and fell on the floor as the realization hit hard on my mind. I scoot backward on the floor until her scent of roses vanished from around me. And I clenched my eyes close as I sensed my heart beating faster and faster with Ishani's view.
Fuck. Advik. Fuck.
What the hell are you doing?!
"I want to laugh that you've fallen down on the floor but I'm too sleepy for that." Atharva used sarcasm even in his sleep, while trying to see me with his barely opening eyes.
