I'm Innocent (On Hold)

2. Weird waiter

I was seriously shitty in typing, I realized while I was filling my online college admission form, my plan was simple for me to do a bachelor of commerce (b.comm) and after that to do MBA. I seriously loved commerce, especially economics but the subject which I hated the most was computer science. So the thing was, don't want to sound proud but still, I had always scored the best marks but then too I scored 40/100 in computer science, so by this you could imagine how much I hated that subject. Uff finally, seriously why do you want to know about the stuff which is not even related to this admission process, nobody gives a shit about all your dumb questions. "Mehek !! " My mother's harsh voice got me startled. I looked up and saw her big eyes which are telling me to watch my language. " Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!".

She entered and took a seat beside me on my bed. "So have you filled the form?" she asked casually.
"Yup! I was just doing that" I told her.
"Okay! Are you sure you want to go to this college? You never left this place and everything will be different out there." she said to me.
"Yes, mummy I want to go to this college. Do you know, you can only take admission in this college if you have great percentage along with Extra Academic Activity or if you are filthy rich. I have my percentage and EAA and the best part is my scholarship. I will miss everything around here but I have to learn how to deal with my day to day life by myself because you, daddy and bhai will not always be there for me each and every time."
" I was so scared the first time your brother left for Delhi to complete his master's degree but with you, it is not that much because I know you are very smart and mature," she said casually. Even though her words were showing her emotions but her body language was not.
"By the way, you still have lots of opportunities to go for nearby government's college and then after that, we can get you married." she chuckles as she started to leave.
" burrrrhhhh! Run woman" I chided her.

It felt like she wanted to say much more but I knew her very well, she was concerned about me but she would not ask me as my parents were not one of those parents who express their concern and pamper their children.  
*************
NEXT day my father and I, went to the college and completed all the formalities in order to get me enrolled and scholarship too.

After that, we went to see the rooms for me to stay but seriously they were a bit costly and we soon got tired and it was 2 pm so we decided to have our lunch and went to a nearby restaurant we both were chicken lovers so we ordered butter chicken with butter naan, seriously mom would get furious if she got to know about our lunch which was full of butter.

As our food arrived we dug into it and soon it gets finished and we called out the waiter to bring our bill. "Thank you, " my father said while taking the bill. As my father was taking out his money the waiter turned towards me and asked politely "Are you here for the admissions, in the 'SL college of commerce'? Sorry! I just saw you in the admission line a few hours ago ". "Y-Yes" I replied to him warily.
"Did you get your room?" he asked nervously. I didn't know what was it with him but still, I told him the truth without thinking. "No, it's really difficult here".
"I knew it, actually I'm a senior in SL and I'm an advertising agent for these PG rooms too " he informed me nervously while offering me the card for the PG rooms. Daddy took the card he was offering to me " You can check these out too. The place is new so for now, the rooms are really economical. "We will see," daddy said dismissively and the waiter got him and left abruptly.

"That guy was weird so I don't think we should be checking out these PG rooms," I told my dad. "I don't know about him, but there's nothing wrong in checking out these rooms". I knew he just wanted to select a room for me and get out of the town as soon as possible. So he just wanted to try out all the options to find the better place for me.

"If you say so" I muttered.

We walked towards the address mentioned on the card and there was a Watchman on the gate. 'hmmm nice they got a Watchman too'
******
30 min later finally we decided that the PG's room no.05 was the one where I would be living in and this place was near the college too. But still, this place looked too expensive but I got the single bedroom and the rent was too low for such a place  (which was very rare to get ).

Now after 1 week my new life would begin and I hoped that I would get the freedom that I longed for but my inner guts were telling me there was something which was not  fitting well here in this equation but the relief my father and I got after doing all the hard work that day suppressed my inner doubts.
