LUCID DREAM! #EAH watty awards 2016

Chapter 6: Will

"Have a nice day honey" mom bid dad. I stared at the clock. It shown 7:00 am.

"Are you gonna sit here all the day like this??" mom eyed me for a reply.

It had become her daily routine to toss that same question on me since three weeks from my break up with Aryaman and I never bothered to reply. But this time, I too wanted to know my answer.
I devised her question and found it really hard to give a return. I looked at her with a baffled face.
She shook her head and put hands on her temples.

"Nandini.....! What had happened to you. You are acting so bizarre these days. If I'm correct, then precisely from the prom night!
Dear, please tell your mom... whatever it is.....please don't hide from me. You know how much pain it does give your dad and me to see you like this, right?!!"

She wiped a small bead of water that escaped from the barriers of her eyes.

I felt hurt. I was making it hard for everyone around me.

My mom.......
My dad...........
My amms.......

"I have decided! You are leaving to Mumbai tomorrow!"
She asserted.

"Noo!" I talked for the first time since morning.

"I'm going nowhere!" I admonished her demand and prodded on the food that she had kept in front me 10 minutes ago.

"Then what are you planning to do? Please tell! Or do you even have a plan?? Nandini... You are graduated now. You can't stay home anymore like this!" She hit the table with a pair of white paws.

"Then what? Do you want me to get married!" I snapped.

"That wasn't what I meant! I was talking about your higher studies."  Mom walked towards kitchen.

"You don't worry about it. I know what to do. Hmm...for now....I'm joining violin classes" I said, munching on the food.

"What?!" She turned with a stunned face.

Did I tell something atrocious! I wondered.

"Yes" I said baldly.

"Are you on your sanity??! Three weeks ago you were taking a hundred of college's names and now......!"
She kept moving her hands in air dramatically so as to give vent the frustration.

"C'mon mom! From when did you started acting like old worry mommies!" I stood up to leave for some peace.

"From when YOU started acting like heartbroken ones!"
She concluded.

"Nandini! Are you here??
You are not playing it duly. Come on, play it ones more"

Master kept screaming at my ear and I instilled myself to be more concentrated on the small wooden instrument that I held between my left hand bones.

I was more fond of guitar and piano. But Violin wasn't new to me. Amms knew almost all classical instruments and she made me learn too. I was just twelve when dad got transferred to Delhi and I moved with my parents to live there. And that's how I met Aryaman at my new school and we became best of friends.

Oh! Whatever I does think would finally finds its way to him. God! Why are you doing this to me!!?

"Yes......yes......" Master uttered, moving his hands in air.

"Shit! You always drops it there!
That part is too watery. But you are reading it as though its a song written on rock!"
He threw a wooden rod in rage and it went just past my right shoulder.

I didn't feel anger. I was in torment. The music reminded me of my last encounter with Aryaman.

It was two weeks after the so-called break up and one day before the graduation. He was there at my living room when I came down the stairs, at 6:30 am.

He said nothing more. Just that he was leaving the city and flying for Australia to his dad's verge and then of course that he would miss me and expected me to reprieve him.

I didn't say a word other than "yes. You are forgiven"

He couldn't dare to stay a second more in front me. He left saying that he would call and message even if I don't like it, that he can't live without my presence.

He did keep his word. He would call or message everyday and that filled each and every day of my life with agony.
                   * * * *

Violin classes went on and I started enjoying music again. I never know how two and a half months passed. One good reason for my anew life was that I got rid of my old sim and eventually, from Aryaman's bugging calls also. Other one was the dwelt that mom finally sanctioned my pleads to join the famous well-known musical college in India. The college offered science studies also and I knew that's why mom fell in with my decision.

Life was heading for a new venture and I was delighted with the feel, finally I done it right.

The twelve hours journey from Delhi to Mumbai was like a tour. Amms was super happy in seeing me and the old lady made me cry with all her undeniable love and care.

Life was going to change and I wasn't actually prepared. I went straight to amms' personal musical librery and found Shalom that hidden behind the strings and notes.............
