Behind the truth

Chapter 16

I woke up when my alarm went *beep*beep*beep*.

I woke up to snooze the alarm and saw that we were getting late. I rose from the bed to prepare breakfast and school lunch.

"God, I am going to get late!"I whisper to myself. Just as I realised that only twenty minutes are left for the school to get closed.

"Anshika!!! Get up! You will get late."I cried from the kitchen.

"Mumma! Just five minutes more. Please!"cried Anshika from the bedroom in a sleepy voice.

I went in the room, cause I knew that she will not get up.

"Anshika!"

"Mumma please."

I took her out from the bed and made her stand in the bathroom.

"Only 10 minutes left!!"

"Really mom?? Then I am not going to school today."she replied from the bathroom.

I went in the bathroom and forced her to do the regular chorus.

"Mumma!! Drive fast!! We are going to be late."cried she while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Can't you see the traffic?" I cried at her, but she didn't seemed to be interested.

We reached school and the main gate was closed.

"Mumma, see now I can't go to school."she said.

A candy person was passing by and she demanded for it.

"Mumma!! I want that."

Now I am getting angry. I tighten my grip on the steering wheel and shout at her.

"Stop it Anshika!! Enough! When you knew that we were getting late then why didn't you hurry up! Now you want a candy! I would never be able to satisfy your greed!"

She didn't said a word and looked away by facing the car window.

Dammit I shout at her..

I sigh and drove to the office. I can't leave her alone, so the best option is to take her with me to my work place.

She didn't teased me there and kept herself engage in papers and pens. Everyone appreciated me for her good behaviour but I knew it was because of the scold which she got from me in the morning.

At evening we went home. The car ride was silent as she was looking outside from the window.

When we reached she turned on the tv. While I prepared dinner and did preparation for tomorrow.

When I finished my work, I went to look at Anshika but I didn't find her in front of the tv but on her study table doing some drawing.

I knew my mistake so I just went up to her and apologize.

"Sorry, sweetheart. I was really angry, so I took out my anger on you!." I said in a apologetic tone.

"I wasn't angry with you mom. See I made a drawing of you and me."

I looked at the picture and must say it was beautiful according to a 5yrs kid drawing.

I quickly hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

"Its beautiful!! I love you."

She kissed me and i kissed her back.

We went on the dinning table to had dinner and guess what my old drama queen returned. She started her long talks.

"And mumma,you know it was really big castle.. are you listening?"she asked.

"Yes I am!"replied her and smiled as she is too innocent.

In the morning.

A miracle happened my daughter was awake before me. When I opened my eyes I saw her packing books in bag.

"Why are you so awake early?"asked I in a sleepy tone.

"Mumma, alarm already rung. "

"Really?" I widened my eyes and saw the alarm.

Yes really..

I finished everything on time.

Thank God I did all the preparation yesterday.

Anshika was also ready. We did breakfast and drove to school.

Everything went smoothly and I went to pick up Anshika from school.

At school

"Mumma!!"

I saw her approaching from the crowd of students.

I took her in a tight hug and kissed her and she also did that in return.

"Mumma,you know, a new teacher has come here to teach us English."

"Really?? How is she?"

"Yuck! She is really a stupid aunty."

"You should not say this about a teacher."

"Yeah sorry , but she appreciated me when I told her spellings. "She said.

"Wow! Good."I said.

As were going to move out of the school, I saw a familiar lady coming towards us. Swinging her hairs and walking with attitude, some what beautiful too.

And then I recognize it's Riya, my school best friend. She has changed a lot. But what is she doing here?
