"Mrs Johnson, prepare my bath with extra warm water  today, i need the extra warmth"
My mother's voice ecohed in our big wooden house.  Her heels on the marble floor was a un spoken command for Jessie to draw her bath.
I was up in my room gathering courage to ask my mother to let me go.  My rapidly beating heart and sweaty  palms were signs of such how nervous i am when it comes to asking my mother for anything. 

"OK neha, breathe in ... And breathe out"
I told myself as soon as i heard the tapping of the marble floor been headed towards my room.
My breathe in lasted much longer then my breathe outs....
When my mother entered the room she caught me in a position of holding my breathe and representing a half rip tomatoe.

"Neha what's  wrong? Are you alright? Why on earth are you holding your breath?" She rushed towards me
" umm ... Swimming classes "i said holding her hand and  calming her down
" where on earth did u  learn  swimming?she returned my hand and started setting my top.
"You tube"
" i swear this internet has filled your mind with utter nonsense,i don't know myself why have i allowed you to use such time consuming  things "
She got up and was about to leave,just then she noticed my pile of folded clothes on the bed.
"Neha, don't you think you have too much black"
"Mother, there is no such thing as too much black" i said with a small chuckle.  But apparently i was the only one who understood that joke, instead of a smile even, i got a cold stare, a stare that can make you say your prayer and starting wishing you hadn't done anything to hurt that person.
"Tomorrow i will buy your clothes my self" and with that bill she left.

Not long after that Jessie came in my room.
"So how did it go?" She asked
"Great,i am moving tomorrow"
"That bad huh,so what you gonna do?"
"Hmm let's see i have a choice, be a adult who wears clothes that her mother buys for her or i could take a stand"
"With a mother like yours i will take my chances with the pink clothes"
"Funny"i said getting up and heading towards the door.
"All the best"
I made my way towards my mother's room getting determined with every step i take, practicing what all i will say to her.

"Mother" i said opening the door of her room.
"Come in" a distant voice said
I sat on my mother's bed waiting for her because she was in the  shower taking her warm bath.
"What is it,neha?" She said wearing her bath rode
I got up and said"umm mother .. Hmm i kinda ... Well... Hmm i maybe"
"You pulled me out if the shower for this neha"
Her voice nearly made me cry, any louder and the mirrors would have scattered.
I was about to leave but just then out of nowhere i got my lost courage.
I turned back and said " mother i want to join a normal college and move to the city"
