Reality : Not So Beautiful [COMPLETED]

6

A ray of sunshine entering my bedroom disturbed my eyes. Ahh... rubbing my eyes I turned to other side to keep my Sunday sleep on. Another 30 minutes sleep and a weird dream was interrupted by the ringing of my phone. The screen showed 8:40am and Ma is calling.
I was startled and hurried up to sit. I cleared my throat so that my voice don't seem sleepy.
"Hello ma"
"You were still sleeping right?"
"Haa.. I was" I said irritatedly.
"When will you grow up? When will you understand the responsibility? When you will get married what shall happen? When ..."
"Aha.. don't start the lecture early in the morning. I know your dialogues well. I get only a day off and you expect me to get out of bed early.. No not at all"
"You are saying as if you get up at 6 am every week days" taunted ma.
"Ah.. whatever.." I said with a yawn.
" Beta... when will you get married? Do think about...."
"Na ma.. Not now... I want to sleep..." I cut the sentence.
"No. You always want to skip this topic. You have to hear today "
"Hmm..."
"You know new technologies, you go for some dates and all. I know that you always wanted to be modern. I don't think we will be able to think like you and manage a good fiance for you. But we will try. You find your own life partner. It will be more worthy."
"Hmm" I am really irritated of hearing this marriage related stuffs.
"Are you listening?"
"Yeah yeah"
"Now get up have breakfast and do some work"
"Hmmm.. I will"

My sleep is already gone by this time. Let's start today. I freshened up. Made some poha and had it with sauce. I surfed the mobile for a while and then got irritated at the pictures of couples and marriages. My eyes fell on the stack of books. Oh.. I have to make ppt for the next chapter and question paper for this class test.
I stood up. My mind wandered at the every possible direction and I decided to go to have a nice bath.
As I am standing below the shower with the drops of cool water flowing down the curves of my body I thought about Ma. Yes ma is right. Unknowingly ma have helped me. I think she is right I must meet some men. There are a handful of dating apps now a days. I think I should log in into one such. I will move on in life. The cool water drops sothened my skin. But the cracks over the soul is yet to be healed.
