Life of an Indian failure{completed}

Reason 3(contd.)

A long time had passed since... Everything...

And yes, I had fallen in love with Arnav. So shippers, your ship may or may not be a canon.. But, hey! He still is with Nisha, and I am not planning to confess or anything,

My boards were closer than ever, and my monthly tests hadnt been a really big help, I scored so low on them, like 5/25, 17/30 and stuff, i felt so hopeless, I didn't  know how my 10th would be. I just hoped  it wouldnt be too bad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Arnav! Babe!", Nisha yelled,

"Yep", he called out,

We were outside school, and I was again planning to walk back with Nisha, we quickly said goodbye, and started moving. Then all of a sudden, Arnav caught up with us, and we were surprised! Especially me,

"I need to come that way today", he said, panting

We laughed at his expression and the three of us continued to walk,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bye you two", Nisha said, leaving us to walk the remaining distance,

We walked silently, and all of a sudden,

"I need to tell you something, come to the 5th floor 'lost-property' area tomorrow, after school",

Arnav said, and left, leaving me surprised, and anxious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey dad", Sid said,

My dad comes to meet us every twice a week, and I hate those 2 days more than anything...

"Hello bug", my dad smiled, and I rolled my eyes,

We went to a restaurant, and then he took us to his apartment. Trust me, I didn't want to go, it was a long drive, and the more closer we had gotten, the more I wanted to run away.

We reached, and as we walked up to his house, I crossed my fingers hoping Lola and Zoey wouldn't be there, I still haven't gotten used to them, I still hate them more than anything.

"Hi baby!",

It was Lola, I shut my eyes tight, and breathed heavily, I gathered up courage and walked in with Sid.

I sat down on the sofa, and Zoey was watching TV there, she turned around to smile at us, and I internally felt my brain roll it's eyes at her.

My dad came out, with Lola clinging on to him, he looked at me and Sid, and he gave a smile. He had something in his hands, it looked like an envelope? No, a card? Yeah, kind of like a card, it was pretty big though.

He sat across me and Sid, and we looked at him curiously, as he fidgeted with the card,

"This... Uhh.. I don't know how to tell you both, but", he breathed in heavily, and spoke again, "Lola and I? Umm, we decided, that we really do love one another, and so, we're getting married!",

I was speechless, I widened my eyes, and looked at the card, it was a marriage invite, now I could read it, it was a marriage invite..

I can't explain how mixed I felt, I was disgusted, I was upset, I was angry, and I was sad, why sad you ask? My mother was the reason.

How could he be so happy about it? How? My heart burned, when I thought of my dad for Lola, when I thought about my dad, having a completely different family, having another daughter, whom he talked to, and called 'bug', and another wife, whom he kissed and played, and laughed with.

I couldn't take it anymore, I stood up, I wanted to leave right that moment, because if I stayed a minute longer, I knew I'd burst into tears, and I couldn't let that happen.

I made my way towards the door, and I was stopped.... By none other than Lola..

She pulled me by my wrist, and I turned around to face her, my face flushed with anger, and a need to weep my eyes out. She glared at me, and we were face to face, I tried to let my hand free, but she had a pretty strong grip,

"Let go", I whispered, harshly

"Shut up, and sit down", she said, with a voice I never expected could come out from that pretty little face,

"I don't recall you being my mother, let go",

"No manners have you?",

I started laughing an uncontrollable laugh, and its wasn't my normal good natured giggle... No, no.. This laugh was filled with sarcasm, it was cold, and harsh.

"Look who's talking about manners", I said when I finished,

"It's not my problem your mother couldn't deal with your father",

"Stop talking shit about my mother",

"She was the one who broke everything, I was the one to pick it up, so blame her",

"Say another word, about my mother, and I might say something you won't like",

"Ooh, is that a threat? Are you defending your mother darling? How adorable..",

"Atleast my mother has someone who'll stick with her.. All you have is a conceited little daughter, and a cheater for a soon-to-be husband, oh, wait.. Wasn't your previous husband a cheater too? I see why.. ", I said, smiling sarcastically, and I saw my father get up,

"Excuse me?", Lola said, in an offended tone,

"Oh, you can talk shit about my mom, and I can't say the truth about your useless family?",

"You better control that mouth young lady",

"Or what? You gonna hit me? I dare you to..", I hissed at her, my eyes flashed with anger,

She let go of my hand, and took a few steps back, I got one last look at dad and Lola, then shot a glance at Sid, he seemed to catch on to what I meant, and got up.

He made his way towards me, and I opened the door, after which, we left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guess where I was.. Come on.. You know it..

Let me give you a clue, it's after school..

Got it?

Correct, I'm was in the  lost property area, waiting for Arnav to come,

I waitied a good 5 minutes, but he didn't seem to appear, so I took my bag, I was just about to come, and al of a sudden, like an angel he appeared in front of me, I smiled to myself, seeing him made me happy from inside....

"Hi.. Alia", he said, panting, he had run up the stairs, so he was panting..

"Hey you", I said, as I uncontrollably blushed and wondered what he wanted to tell me,

"Okay, I'm gonna make this quick, because, Nisha and Rosh are waiting for you downstairs, so... Here it is...",

He breathed in deeply, and gathered up some courage,

"I think I love you", he said, and walked away, leaving me there, dumbfounded..

Love... Another reason, for my attempt at suicide...

Don't forget to vote if you wanna make me smile^.^!!

See y'all next time!!
