“GET UP WILL YOU, every single day this same drama over and over again why can’t you just wake up on time, why do you wanna be such a burden on me WILL YOU PLEASE WAKE UP IDIOT........”  My mom shouted at me as usual.
“Mom......why can’t you wish me good morning with a smile like those mom’s it ads and films” I said as I woke up and rubbed my eyes.
“And why can’t you come back home like all the other normal girls in real life?” Mom asked.
“Mom I run a fan club now, I was giving CB’s new speech for the club last night, so it took time” I said.
I had started a CB fan club a month back and most of the time I give speeches which CB have presented in different platform with my own twists of course. Sid has supported me a lot in this.
“All you care about is your CB and Bollywood but you don’t care about your own mother right?” Mom asked.
“Mom, why are you being overdramatic, look how beautiful and confident I look on stage” I said and showed her the pictures of last night.

“Oh my god , are you mad how can you show your shoulders like that I told you to wear an overcoat when you are on stage” Mom said.
“Oh....ya overcoat I forgot” I said and rubbed my forehead slightly.
“How can you go on stage wearing this off shoulder gown what would have people thought about you?” mom freaked out.
“Mom stop freaking out it’s just my shoulders” I said.
“Where is my headphone?” Dad asked.
“How will I know?” Mom asked.
“It was right here yesterday” Dad said.
“You and your dad both of you keep on forgetting things” Mom said irritated and went away.
Thank god she left. I said in my mind. I went and opened my window which was of sky blue colour. I love this colour by the way. My bike, my helmet, my phone cover are of the same colour. I was enjoying the morning views when suddenly I saw Maya with an exited face she motioned me to come there. Even I motioned that I am coming and I went out.

“Di, di, di, di.......I am so happy I am so, so happy” Maya said as she jumped with excitement.
“What happened yar? Why are you jumping like a monkey?” I asked confused.
“If I tell you, you will also jump like this” Maya said.
“Just come to the point” I said.
“CB is releasing his new novel Half-girlfriend” Maya said.
“What!” I said as my face brightened up. Here look she said and handed me over her phone. I read the news and started jumping with joy.
“I am so happy, I am so happy” I said.
“Di look there is a trailer” Maya said.
We sat down and saw the trailer.
“Wow it’s amazing...........But what is half-girlfriend?” I asked.
“The title sounds like that of a suspense thriller novel” Maya said.
“But why will CB write a suspense thriller novel?” I asked.
“Maybe he wants to write something different” Maya said.
“I don’t think so think about 2 States it also sounded strange but it was a simple love story right, and like that I think half girlfriend is also a simple love story” I said.
“Maybe you are right di” Maya said.
“Anyway I should leave or else I will be late for class” I said and I went back home.

“Why don’t you take care of your hair your hair is becoming so curly day by day and after this stupid hair colour you have done your hair has become so rough, why don’t you let me do hot oil on your hair this evening” Mom complained again.
“Mom CB is realising his new book and I have go to the fan club I won’t be home this evening” I said. I was inside the washroom.
“All you care about is your CB and what about your hair?” Mom asked.
“Mom it’s just hair and who the hell cares how it looks like?” I asked.
“Everybody cares” mom said.
“Oh god” I said as I stepped our wiping my hair with a towel.
“Don’t rub it too hard your hair will get damaged” Mom said without looking at me. Does she have a pair of eyes behind her head too? I thought.
“Just relax mom” I said as I adjusted my brown top.
