THE ADAMANT SOULS

5.BLANK

We had recently shifted our house , I am sitting in my new room bigger than before , more spacious with more wardrobes . In this process by brothers got there own room too . No more they need to share rooms with eachother .

It was my result day . My heart was doing roller coster . I hadn't slept last night in peace , I was awake till 3 , and than I had slept, however I had to wake up at 5 with the buzzing alarm by my side to offer Salah .

It was nearly 8 , I still had to wait till 10.30 in order to get glimpse of my hardwork . Curiousity hadn't let me live at peace so  I decided to offer prayers and do some chanting in order to calm my heart.

If given a stethoscope and placed on my heart to only see how fast it was beating . Not that I haven't performed well . I did my best though I could do better. But bygones are gone for well and good .

My thoughts had  been mad about results and aftermath . somehow the long hand of the clock struck at 10.20 my mum dropped in my room " are you awake you would have slept " she said with a concerned voice. Looking at the prayer mat spread on floor .

when the clock struck at 10.30 I had already opened the link and was waiting for it to open . Pappa walked inside and asked " why are you looking worried " .." the web page isn't loading ,I am simultaneously trying on mobile and laptop too "

" Why ??" Mum joined the conversation .. " I don't know " I simply shrugged my shoulders . " Actually you don't need to see your results " said pappa . I swallowed hard first the web page is not loading and than his words " why do you say this ??"  I asked with a angry tone

I felt hurt " I know my daughter have scored good and she have passed with good rank.. the only thing left to doo is to get sweets and celebrate " .. " how do you know? " I asked. . having fate in Mee . I felt happy for a fraction of second and the link opened.

My eyes wide looking at my accounts score 99 and the rest marks it all calculated to a percentage of 94.61%. I checked it multiple times . Mum had asked me to score more than 95 % . Well it's not up to the mark or anything bad though . The world around me blurred my heart sank.

I took a deep breath .. " it's 94.61%" I said in low voice which would be counted as a whisper. " Ohhhh that's really good " mum said and left .pappa was gone long back .

I wanted no human interaction for atleast few good minutes . I had worked hard I got what was nearing To my expectation than why this ? . Suddenly my stomach felt full though I hadn't had anything in past 15 hours, water is an exception .

I offered shukar , tears made there way for don't know what reason . Sometimes my mood swings are unreasonable . I let out a deep breath . It took me good half and hour to recollect myself and get at peace. I went out , mamma paapa were seated with chocolates and sweet on table .

A smile bloomed on my lips . " Are these for me ??" I asked. " Off course .. what do you think " I gave a side hug to paapa he patted my head and asked " what do you want ??" .

I looked at him with wandering eyes " trip to Manali, a grand dinner and some shopping . How's the idea ???" .. I made a thinking face though there's nothing to think as I had said before, I wanna go on vacations . Moreover , when opportunity knocks my door , I am not a fool to not answer .

" Sure " I said with a bright smile . " Com'on call all our family members and tell about your success " said mum .
I have to say I am more attachment to my maternal side than paternal . My grandmother stays with us , besides that there are few things about her I don't particularly like . Her favouritism toward my uncle and aunt .

Though she stays with my dad she likes her elder son more . Anyhow i called all my relatives including my uncle (that is Papa's elder brother ) and my aunt ( Papa's elder sister ) in addition to my beloved maternal family .
