NAINA's POV
It was 6:00 in the morning and it was still dark outside. ugh.... I had work today. I hate working.
Anyways I decided to get up because I didn't want to be late to "my favorite job in the word".
I got up and walked to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror just looking at my reflection. Big brown eyes and thick, black, curly hair that was all over the place stared back at me. My reflection was hideous.
After getting dressed and taking a
shower I walked to my dresser and put on some makeup , only putting on a little bit of foundation, some mascara, and Chapstick.I didn't really like putting on a lot of makeup because it just felt as if I was fake and it's just too much work to take it off later.
It was 6:30 now and I had to be at work by 7:15,therefore I just decided to chill a little bit.
I walked over to my night stand and picked up my phone. unlocking it I clicked on Wattpad To read a book for a while. Just as I was about to click on a book someone called. It was an unknown number.
"Hello, is this Naina Patel" a monotone like lady asked.
"Um.... Yes can I help you?" I replied unsure of what to say. I usually never got called unless it was from my parents
" No thank you, our company has called to ask you if you would like to go on a tour, which will include your dancing." she said.
I just sat there,frozen, I was so shocked. When did she even see me dance ?
"Um.... I'm not sure.... Can I think about it and call you later." I asked the lady.
"Why sure, young lady, just call within 3 days or this offer will no longer last." She said, acting like she was a mother.
"Ok" I said. and with that we hung up
---------------
I had been thinking about this all day today. At work today I kept zoning out and barley got any work done.
I really wanted to take this offer because it was a once in a life time opportunity,but.... my parents would never let me do it.We had this talk along time ago too. it was a day when I came home from high school.
~~~~ flashback starts~~~~~
I came home from high school and our reading teacher had asked us to talk to our parents about what we wanted to be when we grow up.I really liked my reading teacher,she was funny,nice ,and such a sweet lady.
I opened the door to see parents already sitting on the couch I swallowed hard as I went and sat next to them.
"Mumma, papa, can we talk"
"Sure" said my mom. My dad still reading the newspaper not even caring.
"Our reading teacher told us to talk to our parents about what we wanted to be" I said.
"So...... What do u want to be when you get older Naina" she asked. there was a look in her eye that said it better be something good. I tried to ignore it, but it was just so.... Intense.
"I-I want to be a dancer" i stuttered. By now my mom's face was angry and disappointed and my dad had looked up from his newspaper holding the same expression as my mom.
My dad got up and started walking towards me, for a second i thought he was going to slap me,but he just huffed and went up the stairs. Well I guess thats a no. I looked back at my mom and she finally started to talk.
"Naina, you are very smart and you shouldnt be a dancer.... be somthing good like a lawyer or an accountant" she replied angrily.
"But...Ma.... i love dancing and this is what i really want to do."
" DANCING??? NAINA YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT DANCING !!!!!" she practically screamed.
I got up and walked upstairs into my room,slamming the door behind me. Her saying that I suck at dancing is like my whole like had just shattered into a million peices. No one cares about my feelings, i thought to myself , and no ever will. No one will ever love me or care for me or anything. Im just a pupett,and my parents control me and what i do.
~~~~flashback ends~~~~~~~~
After that day I promised myself that I would always do as they said and be the perfect indian daughter they wanted. Since that day I have never actually felt happy, nor have I smiled a real smile.
It's as if happiness doesn't even exist anymoreA few hours had passed and I had finally made my decision. I wasn't going to tell or ask my parents about the dancing tour. I was just going to say yes,without them knowing.
------------
I gave the lady a call back and told her I would want to participate. I told her that I didn't have a manager so she said not to worry, and that everything will be under control.
