The Trip that Changed her life (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Chapter 1 (Is pondicherry trip still on?)

3rd June 2024

Aisha writes in her journal,
MISSION PONDICHERRY! She starts making a list of places she wants to visit but suddenly.....

Her mum interrupts her saying, "Have you started packing for Delhi? You hardly have a month and I know you'll be spending your time roaming around the city, so now's the time to at least make a list of things you'll be taking with you, so you'll actually know what to pack."
Yesss mummaaa! I'll make a list when I'm free, Aisha says in a lazy voice.

Mumma! Listen! Did you speak with papa about the trip?? Aisha looks at her mother with puppy eyes. Irawati replies, You know beta, your father will never approve for this trip. Rather any trip where you'll want to go alone! I'm telling you to drop this idea, you know your father is strict and plus all that's happening in the country there's no way he's gonna approve, and if you really want to travel, I'll take you to Tirupati.

I DON'T WANT TO VISIT TIRUPATI, MUMMA!!

What's with the shouting?? Raj says while entering Aisha's room. Aisha proceeds to say, Dada (older brother) please let me go to this trip! Please!! That's the only wish I have before I leave for Delhi. Once I'm in college I won't even have time to eat. This is the one thing I've wanted to do! Shushhhh......... Keep it down please, I just got home from work! Can I please have some peace?

Aisha leaves the room with aggression as no one seems to listen to her.

Mumma let her go to that trip! She's a responsible kid. I'm sure she can take care of herself, it's no big deal it's just 7 days! That's the least you guys can do for her after all you've done! Raj say's

Raj! What do you mean by "all you've done?" Do you think that I've forced her to do MBBS? It's always been your father, he wants her to become a doctor, to be independent, and to stand on her feet! Irawati replies.

How is being independent and being a doctor even relate to each other? Papa's talks sometimes make no sense to me. And I'm sure it wasn't you who forced her into this BECOME A DOCTOR AND MAKE YOUR FAMILY PROUD, but mumma we all know that she's always been interested in designing! It was so obvious that she could've aced the NIFT entrance exam but papa never allowed her to do anything! She's never even been to a night out! I mean look at her friends and then look at her! I don't know, but if papa doesn't let her go on this "dream trip" of hers, I don't think she will ever forgive any of us. And you know what, even I'm her guardian and I give her permission to go on that trip, I'll take care of the hotel booking and the cab service too! She needs the taste of life yaar! Raj says.

You know what Raj, even If pankaj doesn't allow her I will! Let her live her life, this is the age when kids should travel and have fun. I don't care whatever your father says but let's do this! Let Aisha's "dream trip" become a reality. She's a responsible kid! She will take care of herself.

Meanwhile........
Aisha I think you should run away! Mihika says.
Mihuu have you lost it? What if people find out?? People will go ruckus if they find out that Pankaj Deshmukh's daughter ran away, and that too to pondicherry for a 7 days trip! Forget it! I'll call you in the evening. Let's go out for a cup of masala tea shall we? We shall Mihika say's and the call ends.

(Mihika:- Aisha's Bestfriend from school! They were haters in the start of the school when they were 10, but eventually they started liking each other and now can never leave each other's back! Mihika is also going to Delhi for her further education, she was a Science student just like Aisha and scored pretty good score in her 12th boards too, and now she's on her way to NIFT. Something Mihika and Aisha decided to do when they were 13, they both wanted to pursue a career in designing but we all know what happened with Aisha.)
