Heart Strings

CHAPTER 8

It was 8 in the morning. I woke early thanks to that bad dream. I mean who gets up at 5 in the morning during vecation? Dad and I went down for breakfast after that little sad moment we had. When we sat down at the table ,Dad looked up at me and then down as if he wanted to say something to me.

"Dad what's going on in that mechanical brain if yours' ?" I sounded sarcastic. Oops!.

He raised his eyebrow, " Well you see.......I wanted to tell you something yesterday......but I didn't get the chance......and lady if you use your sarcastic - ness again I will-" I cut him off.

"Okay daaaaad I won't "I said rolling my eyes. He cleared his throat,

"We are moving to New York"

"Mmhmm"

"You agree"

"Wait.......WHAT!??"

"Ummm"

"WE'RE WHAT??"

"Shifting to New York"

"WHA...WHY??" Trust me, I was seriously not expecting this.

"Well since I need to run the company and its the peak season, I have to be there, so I will be taking you and Ram sevak and the rest of the staff there" He said with a grin.

I just sat there staring at him with my mouth wide open. "WHAT THE....."

"And we are going in tonight's flight. I have packed your bags. And the rest of the staff is ready. We need to leave at 8 p.m sharp to reach the airport. So be ready princess." By that time dad was done with breakfast and he went to the penthouse.

And I just sat there staring into space with my mouth wide open.

"Laisha beti"

I jumped. Welcome to reality." Ra-Ram uncle!!"

"Your clothes have been packed and so have your other things, there are a pair of fresh clothes kept in your room, please do change into that."

"Bu-But"

"No more questions will be answered" He said with a playfully smile and walked away.

I still couldn't believe it. Somehow I was sad about this. I usually would be very happy on hearing that but this time I wasn't. I went upto my room and sat on the empty bed. Seems like everything already reached there. How do these guys do there jobs so quickly. Wait......they're trained staff. G.D ( grand daddy) got specially trained staff for us. I took my mobile and called Sanjana. My bestie. One of em.

"Baaeeeee"

"Woah cool down"

"But ur calling me after so long"

"Yep I'm sorry bout dat"

"Anyway what's up?"

"I wanna get over it"

"Yesssss FINALLY!!"

"HA HA very funny"

" Ok cool , meet me at Snips' in ten minutes "

"Wait......I'm not cutting this long hair of mine, how many times have I told you, IT'S FAMILY TRADITION"

"Bae u wanna get over it right?"

"Yeaaahhh"

"So the best way is to cut your hair, and trust me it works!! "

"Hm.....ok I trust you "

"Good, meet me there in ten."

"Kay bye"

I cut the call and ran down stairs. I told Dad that I  was gonna cut these long locks. He did protest at first but then he agreed. I quietly apologised to Mom. I then took the bike keys and road off to Snips'.
