No Lies Last Forever

Chapter 1: Result

"You don't wear these clothes. Why you still have them in your wardrobe?" asks Mrs. Arora to Vinnie while I was cleaning the floor because mom is a bit busy today. Vinnie has got a beautiful wardrobe collection and I seriously admire all her clothes. Her aunt is a fashion designer so she usually purchases all her dresses from her. I wish I could have the same clothes like her!

"What am I supposed to do with them? Throw them or what?" asks Vinnie frustrated. I find her very irritable. She doesn't have a good relationship with her mother. God knows why! I dont care.

"Instead of throwing, you can give them to Aditi. She can wear them" says Mrs. Arora. "You will wear them, wouldn't you?" she asks looking at me.

I couldn't say anything but yes. I honestly wanted them. They are so beautiful. I agree to her and she gives me eight jeans, sixteen tops and four amazing overcoats! I am seriously in love with them all.

Its 12:30pm and result is going to be announced in just half-an-hour. Me and my family are at Vinnie's place because the result will be announced online and we don't have a computer at our place to check the result. Both me and Vinnie are nervous and our parents are cheering both of us.

"Why are you both so worried for your results? Just take a chill pill!" smirks mom. I am so nervous and mom is trying to be funny. So sick. I have kept my fingers crossed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unfortunately, Vinnie could not pass in the entrance exam. She is crying and her family is really very disappointed. Sad! But I am happy like anything because I not only passed the entrance exam but finally able to get the Scholarship too. OMG! Now even I can go to DIT. I can't imagine. It is like I can see my dreams unfolding day by day before me.

"Vinnie you should shame on yourself. We gave you all the books to study, best tutors to teach you and our full support but still you couldn't even give competition to a doorman's daughter. Where will you go now ? What should we do with you?" scolds Mrs. Arora to Vinnie.

But what I heard made me really depressed. I didn't care of her scoldings for Vinnie but what hurt me the most is that she called me a "doorman's daughter". Instead of congratulating me, she rather chose to insult. I don't say anything but leave their place and come back to home.

I should be happy for my successful result and for the scholarship that I got, but you know what? I am not. I am seriously in tears. As if a very heavy load has just been put over my head. Being called as "doorman's daughter" is not something one could be proud of.

"Aditi don't cry girl. You are my brave daughter, aren't you? And now you are going to such a big University, you have to stay strong child" says mom cheering me up. I know that I am going to a new college. I will have to make new friends. But will I tell them that I am a doorman's daughter? Would they be able to be friends with me even after knowing who I really am? I cannot even think of this.

"Mom, I am not a doorman's daughter. I am Aditi! Aditi Anand" I said fractiously consoling myself from the guilt of being a doorman's daughter. It really hurts when you give all your best to someone but they end up comparing themselves with your financial status no matter how close you think you are to them. I honestly didn't expect this from Mrs. Arora. It hurts more when you get to hear something that you would never expect from that one person and she was one of them.

You never know what other people think behind you. This is something anybody cannot resist to listen and neither do I. But I cannot say also anything because anyway this topic will end up being a burden on my head and the fact that I am a doorman's daughter cannot be stated false.
I can never compare my status with those rich people. I mean why they don't understand that everyone is not born with a silver spoon? I am not as lucky as Vinnie, I never compared myself with her financially then why her mother compared my result with her? If I don't have any right to compare myself with Vinnie then nor do they have.

Anyway, my college is starting from tomorrow and I have to forget what has happened today and stay happy instead. One thing I have achieved more than Vinnie is that now I will go to college and she would do nothing but sit at home. DIT is not a normal University. No-one can take admission by bribing the principal. The only way to get into the college is by clearing the entrance exam and Vinnie couldn't do that. But she can try for it again next year.

We are having dinner now. Mom has made my favourite Chicken curry today. She is extremely happy for my scholarship. Dad gifted me a brand new phone! First time ever I would be able to use a touchscreen cell phone. I asked him how did he manage to buy this expensive gift and he replied that he has saved some money and he has bought it on EMI. Aarav also gave me a new bag. I know we argue way too much on a daily basis but at the end we love each other.

"Congrats Aditi, I am proud of you sister" says Aarav. "Thanks Aarav" I reply. "I hope you will make new friends soon" he adds. "Hope so" I say.

"Aditi I have bought all the books and stationary materials for you. Did you check them? I didn't miss anything, did I?" asks Dad worriedly. I reply "No dad, nothing is left. You have bought it all".

"At what time tomorrow, you have college?" asks Aarav. "At 9am" I reply. "Aditi you have to wake up early tomorrow so go and sleep" says mom.

I look at the time. It is 12:10am! I quickly go to my room, take out the blanket from the cupboard, switche off the light and go to bed. But actually, I am not able to sleep only. This never happens to me. I am that kind of person who doesn't see the time to sleep. I only need a bed and there I go, within 5 mins I am in my deepest night dream.

Maybe the reason behind this is my nervousness for my first day to my college. What type of people would be there in college? What if all of them would be very sincere in studies? I cannot make friends who study every single time.

I know I get good marks but this doesn't mean that all the time I study. I study only during exams. I don't even touch the book before realization strikes me that I have exam from the next week. I start studying only before one week of exams. I do this because I easily forget what I learn the next day.

So now I am waiting for my very first day but before the day arrive I need to sleep. I scream Goodnight from my room and they all reply goodnight to me back. Tomorrow will be a new day, new friends and a new chapter of my life! And I want it to begin happily.
