DREAMS..... Make it or Break it !

A Brand New Day

Every day begins with a new challenge. As I promised Mom and to myself not to irk her anymore for my health I took my medicines on time and started getting ready for class. My brother dropped me to class because I wasn't able to.

Every one welcomed me including students, sirs, teachers and my desperate pals. Few congratulate me because of Spain and they knew I was supporting them 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' except my pals they aren't interested in any kind of sports like me. Only I'm sport-aholic in my group others even don't know when IPL starts, world cups, FIFA, Olympic or anything but still we're pals for forever and we'll be.

Everyone is like how are you feeling? I was like what you guys want to hear from me? That I was on a 'world tour' having oodles of fun. I saw Venice, London, Paris, New York, the whole Africa and Asia too. But I answered them saying I almost relinquished but my mom she became my strength and today I am fine only because of her.

My pals, in their girly manner exclaimed a huge 'awww....' I banter saying girls are never going to change and they said as if you aren't a girl? Yes! I am but not chick girls like you. I had messaged them before, 'See you in classes'. All three told me "we have a surprise for you but you have to close your eyes first" and when I opened I found a huge greeting card saying 'Welcome back, Surie'. The best surprise gift I ever got. I thanked them with tears in my eyes. They said, Surie no tears this time please and I grinned.

Zysha said cheerfully "now that you are back again let's celebrate your 'comeback'". Simran and Aafia agreed and said we need to. I asked "where?" raising my eyebrows. Zysha suggested some places like Marine Drive, Nariman Point, Juhu Chowpatty or anywhere else. I said why not somewhere in Navi Mumbai? It is much peaceful than Mumbai, more clean and less polluted when compared to Mumbai. Everybody asked "where over there, you tell us?" I thought for a moment and said I don't know? Zysha said "if you don't know, better keep your mouth shut, we all know you like Navi Mumbai more than Mumbai because of your aunt's house there and you like to be there. I shrugged and suggestively said Palm Beach Road, for clicks it's a picture perfect place. All said irritatingly will you stop it Surie. Your taste is abysmal and to with that different from all of us so you keep quite we'll let you know where to celebrate your comeback.

Later, I was sitting next to Aafia I asked her to look at Aditya, the most famous guy in my batch, and said He is just a good-for-naught person and still he has so many girlfriends. I don't understand what girls see in him? Aafia said in her usual to-make-fun-of-everything tone what you can't see Surie and started laughing. I said shut up! You just need a topic to start.

After class ended, I bid good bye to them. My brother came to receive me. While driving he suddenly stopped his bike in the middle of the way. I asked what happened. He asked me to look at the board which said 'Front Street', he told me to wait patiently outside and he'd be back in minutes. On the way to home he said I promised you to celebrate if Spain will win and I'm fulfilling my promise with a cake treat, if you don't want I am not going to force you. I said it sounds yummilicious. I asked which flavor. He said Butterscotch, my favorite. I asked with a doubt, you are fulfilling my promise or yours. He said obviously yours. I said then why not my favorite 'Vanilla'? He said let it be Surie will you stop criticizing now? At least I'm fulfilling my promise. I told myself like doing a favor on me.

And later when we reached home, we cut the cake into pieces so that everyone should get it. We had lots of fun after it. It was just one of 'The best day of my life'.
