ECHOES OF BROKEN STRINGS

1|Diwali's Spark

Aadya's pov:-

i was already in a hurry due to the preparation of diwali..! Ohh shoot I forgot, where are my earings..and if I called my mom at this point, she would drag me to the Puja, I had to do it by myself. Yupp!! Being the youngest in my family I am very careless for my own stuff except my guitar. Well it's not the right time to talk about my guitar.

' aadyaa!!! Are you coming or not??? If you are not here by ten minutes, you are not going for diwali firecrackers celebration!!!' .. Yup that's my mom as always screaming at me for being late.

I was applying lipgloss in the last moment till my cousins came into my room.

'bro, Are you going to celebrate this diwali in your 4×4 room only?". Shivangi asked.

'a post with a caption of ' Diwali 2024 in my 4×4 room'. Shivam said and they all laughed.

'hahaha, very funny Instead of commenting can you guys help me to find me my earings?' I asked them.

'oho.. getting ready for whom??'. Shivangi teasing me.

' oh god, Yes I'm getting ready for your boyfriend only'. I said with a sarcastic look.

They all started laughing.

Then I asked, ' heyy what about the pictures??'.

Shakshi replied, ' yeah yeah we'll click pictures afterwards but First let's go downstairs'.

I said,' exactly, or this diwali we will be exploted instead of firecrackers '

After a while when Puja was done, all of the cousins decided to go outside and burn firecrackers also click pictures.

I was burning a fire cracker and my brother took a beautiful picture of me with dazzling lights and sparkling night.

Well, when the photo session was done we decided to head inside. We had to intentionally end our photo session as our mom's were calling us since it was quite late.

After a while , I went into my room, Changed into a comfy night suit, removed my makeup, did my skincare and was arranging my closet.

Thinking how fast my favourite festival went.
Suddenly a thought came up to my mind,
Well festivals come nd go but memories stay, Memories.. Memories.. Memories!!!!
Pictures...

I quickly sat on my bed, opened my balcony allowing the air to enter through.

I was looking to the pictures, well I did looked beautiful, the pictures were awesome.

I was struggling to think which picture to post until I heard a voice came from downstairs, my mom called me to have dinner.

I went downstairs, sat on couch still thinking about my pictures.

My mom came and asked me, Do you want to eat dinner or Just the dessert?

As I had heavy lunch, I was basically not in the mood to have dinner so I choose have dessert.

While I was eating my dessert, I heard my uncle's talking About my Cousin's Excellent results in his class.

I was so happy to hear that but not for to long , i heard my dad saying ' my aadya doesn't even tries, she's a failure'

Hearing This I was numb for 5 minutes.
I was thinking where? Where I was not enough.???

Let me tell you something, My family is just a picture perfect family, From my childhood till my teenage, I have Heard My parents arguing over small things but there love was only Gifting things , it was never Acts of service or Being Emotionally Available.
