it was a fine day, meeting Lucus diverted my mind from the morning incident but it did not last long. i had to go back to my usual world. where i belonged and where i had to face the bitter realities of my life. i entered home mom was not there. i waited in the launch as if she were to return any soon. after some time when this loneliness and uselessness was biting my nerves i thought to divert my attention and to busy myself with my home work. i was a determined student and loved to read. apart from studies i had read a number of books and novels. it was a very useful hobby for me, these books were my partner in loneliness, and if they were not there to grasp my attention i would have died out of depression. but there were times when even reading didn't work, those were the times when my mind is full of questions about my father's suspicious missing. Days seemed years and years seemed centuries. there was no track of time for me. that one rainy day took everything with it. i was not like this before that incident, everything was not like this. things used to be different a positive different. but Alas! now this is the reality of my life, a never ending nightmare. all those memories that give me pleasure at one moment hurt me badly the other, hurt that they are now just memories. since my teenage years and even before that i never got a chance to spend time with my very own parents i lived in a hostel, because daddy thought it was best for me. i wanted to come home but was never allowed to visit not even on vacations. my friends use to question me that am i adopted? because no parents wanted their children to be far from them. but my parents always searched for excuses to keep me far away as far as possible, as if i was a curse that would eat their happiness. was i that bad? that time was bad really bad and very painful but this one is worst. being in the hostel i used to think that maybe one day when i'll return my home things would be better but i had no idea that instead of getting any better things would turn like this. every night before going to bed i prayed to God to make a way for me to be at home with my parents, not even a single time i could image that i was not wishing for a blessing but a curse. when i was far at least i had a false hope that things would turn out to be better but now i don't even have that. I guess you can never know how good something is unless you come to know how worst it can get. sometimes i think and blame myself for being so bad that God had punished me like this. my phone rang it was a text from Lucus i smiled at his text i was rescued from my own thoughts
"Hey" was his text.
"Hey'' i typed.
"What's up"
"Nothing much just got free after completing my homework"
"That sounds great"
" yeah"
"so are you doing anything afterwards?"
"Aaammm not really"
"Excellent how about a coffee?"
"Aamm yeah sure but gotta come back fast as mom's gonna be mad if i got back any late then 7"
";) don't worry about that we'll be quick"
"okay then, meet you in 15 mints... outside my home?"
"sure thing ma'am" God..! he looks soo cute when he give those polite comments.
i changed into a black shirt and jeans and tied my hair in a nice ponytail. i applied a little make up and grabbed my jacket before grabbing my phone and keys just when i was typing him a message i received his text saying he is outside.
