Whenever they wish I wasn't born, whenever they wish that I was more successful, whenever they say that I have failed them, I feel hurt. Their words pierce my heart like a dagger, because I tried. I tried a lot and I am still trying. Trying to be something, trying to be a son they can be proud of, they will be proud of me if I got a job, right?
What if they won't be?
My subconscious asked me. But I had no answers, cause only they know how they will feel. But one thing that I know for sure is that I will keep trying. Even till my last breath I will try to make them proud. After all they are my parents and they want the best for me, right?
"No, they don't"
I was smiling at my thoughts when a voice took my attention. There he was, my best friend, Kashvin Sethi, sitting by my side? When did he come? And was I that loud?
"And no, you weren't that loud, idiot"
I snapped my head at him with such a force that my neck almost got sprained. I was sitting at our bro spot. A bench outside a cafe.
He has been by my side since we were just 9 years old. I still remember I was sitting on this very bench, crying my heart out as papa hit me with his belt for the time time when I failed in one of my exams.
That's when he came. He consoled me that day and gave me a chocolate that he had bought for himself. It was that day and today, we have been best friends from the past 16 years.
"If I wasn't that loud then how did you get to know what I was thinking?"
I asked him. I didn't even know when he came, I didn't even tell him anything yet and still he answered a question I wasn't even asking. Well just to mention, I came on time, All thanks to Sanheer and this fucker right here is late, not that it matters
"Well you didn't notice that I have been sitting here for the past 2 minutes and observing the changes of your expressions every now and then due to the marathon your brain is running on right now"
He paused and sighed. Making me lower my head a little and raising my eyes to look at him as if he was scolding me for something wrong that I have been caught doing.
"Don't look at me with those expressions, Samrat"
He told me sternly. I snapped my head at him again,
"What did you just call me?"
"Samrat"
"And why?"
"What why? Isn't that your name?"
"Yes that is, but not for you kashu"
"My name is Kashvin and not kashu"
"No it isn't, not for me, just like I am not Samrat but sammu for you, you are kashu for me and not Kashvin"
