Humsafar ( UNDER EDITING)

1. Her life

A girl is seen sleeping peacefully on the bed. Her sleep was disturbed due to the alarm. She yawned and woke up with a big smile on her face. Today was a big day for her.

Good morning world!!! She chirped and woke up from the bed. She saw the time and her eyes widened.

Omg I will get late! She quickly made her way to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, her mom came there to wake her up only to find her missing. She called out her name.

Mumma I am getting ready.. will join you at the table!! The girl yelled from the bathroom.

Come fast.. she replied and went downstairs to arrange the breakfast. She saw her maid Madhavi arranging food on the table but her husband and son were nowhere to be seen. She yelled out their names but there was no response.

Mr. Ashish Mehta and Mr. Aman Mehta.. better be down in 5 minutes or there is no breakfast for you both today! She yelled and walked towards the dining table. Madhavi wished her and smiled.

Just then Ashish came running downstairs. He looked at his wife waiting for him on the dining table.

Baby I was coming down only.. he tried to speak but stopped seeing her glare. Madhavi smiled seeing their banters.

You are late for office Mr. Mehta! And where is your son? Ayesha asked. Ashish sat besides her.

There's still time Ayesha.. and Aman has his football match today.. did you forget? Ashish asked while taking the newspaper. She nodded.

Soon Avni joined them. She was dressed in her uniform and her hairs were tied neatly. She wished her parents and took her seat.

All ready child? Asked Ashish while sipping his tea. Avni looked at him and nodded.

Yes dad.. just 5 minutes.. said Avni and quickly had her breakfast. Ayesha looked at her.

Avni.. slow down.. how many times should I tell you.. do not eat your food in hurry.. Ayesha scolded her.

Let it be ayesha.. don't scold her now.. Avni eat slowly okay.. Ashish spoke calmly. Avni gave a apologetic look to Ayesha.

By the way mom dad.. you guys are attending my sports day right? Avni asked while munching on her food. Ashish looked at ayesha and then at Avni.

Sorry bacha.. Meri aaj bahot important meeting hai.. I can't skip it.. Ashish apologized. Avni looked at Ayesha who gave her a apologetic look.

I won't be able to make it baby.. but next time pakka! Ayesha said to cheer her up but Avni just smiled at her.

It's ok mom.. Avni replied and quickly got up. Ashish looked at her as she bid them bye and went.

Atleast finish your breakfast! Ashish said. Avni turned to looked at them.

I am full! Avni said with a smile and went.

She stood at the bus stop waiting for her school bus. Soon her bus came and she settled in. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Her parents never attended her annual meet or sports day as they were always busy with their business. She quickly wiped her tears.

It's ok avni.. they are busy na.. it's fine.. Now concentrate on your sports day.. she mumbled as she tried to console herself.

Soon she reached her school and walked towards her friends who were waiting for her near the canteen.

Hey girls! Avni waved at them with a smile. Everyone smiled at her.

Avni are you ready? Asked Juhi, one of her classmate. She knew Juhi didn't like her but never showed. She forced a smile at her and nodded.

Just a bit nervous.. Avni said while playing with her id card. Priya smiled at her.

Don't worry avu.. you will rock it. Priya said with a genuine smile. Avni smiled at her but her eyes were searching for someone else.

***************

They stood at the ground looking around at the event. The event was about to start which made Avni more nervous.

Juhi saw her nervous and taunted her.

Come on Avni.. why are you so nervous for such a small event? Juhi said with a smile. Before Avni could speak, Priya jumped in between the convo.

You wouldn't understand Juhi! Because a bystander wouldn't understand the feeling of a participant performing in there! So sad.. Priya said while looking at her with a mocking smile.

Juhi's face burned in embarassment. Avni saw this and tired to control her laughter.

So what? You are also not performing! Juhi tired to reason. Priya smiled at her.

Ms Juhi.. if I didn't have this fracture in my ankle na then I would have surely participated instead of just being a bystander and commenting on others.. Priya shot back with a smirk. Juhi fumed in anger and went away.

Suddenly they heard a announcement. All students and parents turned their attention towards the teacher.

Good morning everyone! So let's start with our sport's day.. participants kindly move to the block allotted to you.. the teacher spoke on mic. The students moved towards the ground but Avni's eyes were searching someone else.

The events started. After some time the teacher announced the participants taking part in running race to assemble on the starting point.

Oh God.. mujhe bahot darr lag Raha hai.. kya Karu.. mumbled avni. She felt restless and lonely in the crowd.

Just then someone placed a hand on her shoulder. Avni turned to see her best friend Anjali smiling at her.

Nervous? Anjali asked. She knew avni would be sad as her parents were not there. Avni nodded.

My cutie.. don't worry.. just do your best.. rest leave on God.. now go.. Anjali said with a smile and pushed Avni towards the ground. Avni smiled and went.

Soon the race started. Avni was running on the third position.
Her friends were cheering her. But the ones she wanted the most were not there for her on the most special day.

Avu you can do it!! Anjali shouted through the crowd. Avni ran more faster and soon overlapped the runner ahead her and reached in second position. The runner on the first position was still far away from her..

Avni you can do it.. you have to win for your parents.. Avni mumbled to herself and tired to increase her pace. She wanted to prove herself to her parents by winning the game.

Soon she overlapped the first runner and crossed the finishing line. She panted heavily and looked at the sky with a huge smile. Her friends came running on the track and hugged her tightly. All were happy at her achievement

Soon prizes were given to the winners. Avni was awarded with a gold medal and a big trophy. Her happiness knew no bounds.

Soon everyone dispersed home. Avni reached her home happily. Waving at Anjali she stepped inside her house thinking how happy her parents would be.

Little did she knew her happiness was short-lived!
