Karma [An Indian Story]

Bad Hair Day

Dedicated to lovepsetsufree

-Diya's POV-

As I entered the house I saw papa sitting on the sofa with his back turned towards me. I decided not to disturb him after seeing his mood this morning. I was going quietly to my room when papa turned and called me
"Diya beta come here? "he said patting the sofa.
I sat quietly on the sofa.
"I'm sorry Diya for snapping at you this morning. I have so much pressure. And this client is giving us headache. You have to understand, after all it's you who will handle the company after me. "
"It's okay papa. I understand. "
"Can we go somewhere outside for father-daughter bonding? "
"How about tomorrow evening? I'll be busy for the whole day for my project. "
"As you wish beta. " he said kissing my forehead.

I went to my room to see a gift wrapped box on the dressing table. I picked it up. It was addressed to me. Who will give me a gift? It's not my birthday nor there is any occasion.
I opened the box.
What is this? Is this some kind of joke? Inside the box there is another box. I opened that box. Another box. I continued opening the boxes until I saw a paper in the smallest box. I opened the paper
"TIT FOR TAT"
What is the meaning of this?

-Next day-

Oh my god! My Sunday has been ruined by this project. I have to complete the project by evening so that I can go out on dinner with Papa.

Finally... the project is complete.
I stretched my hands and get up from the desk. I went to the bed to lay down.
Something is vibrating.
I looked around to see my phone was vibrating. I got up from the bed and picked up the phone from the desk.
"Hello Diya."
"Hello Tamanna."
"Hey! Have you completed the conclusion? If not, you better complete it by night."
"Relax girl. I have completed it like 10 minutes ago. "
"Okay. Chal bye."
"Bye."

-Monday-

I came from my jogging and went to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and stood under it. I picked up the shampoo bottle and put some shampoo in my scalp. After my shower I went out of the bathroom to get ready for the college.
I removed my hair from the towel and started blow drying it.

What?
What happened to my hair? How am I supposed to go college like this? I turned around to do something for this. My eyes fell on the wall clock.
Shit!
I will be late for the college. I picked up a scarf to cover my head. I grabbed all my books and project put them in my bag. Wearing my shoes I ran downstairs. I hurriedly ate my breakfast and ran outside.

-In the college -

Coming out of the car, I tried to avoid everyone. I walked (practically ran) to the lecture theatre so that I can get a safe seat.

"Hey Diya."
"Hey Parul." I looked up from the book.
"Where were you? "
"Oh! I came here early so I can revise the conclusion. "
"Oh! "

We all stood up as the professor entered the classroom.
"Why are you wearing a scarf? " Parul whispered.
"Nothing. Just having a bad hair day. "
"Oh! "

"Diya." prof. Chatterjee called up and every head in the class turned towards me.
"Yes sir. " I stood up from my seat.
"Why are you wearing a scarf? Remove that. "
"Sir, I'm having a bad hair day. "
"I said remove it. "
"But sir. "
He shook his head.
I hung my head down and slowly removed the scarf.
Everyone started laughing. Some even took photo of me.
"Put your phones down. And Diya, what happened to your hair? "
I stood quietly.
"Sit down."

-Angad's POV-

Now that Diya Chopra will understand what happen when you mess up with me. I can't wait to see her reaction. I was waiting for her outside her class . There she comes.

"Hey Diya!"
"Please Angad. I'm not in the mood to talk. " saying this she went ahead.
Wait!
Is she crying? I saw tears in her eyes.
Have I done something more than she deserves?
