Road Not Taken ✔

Chapter 10

Its been 2 days since my accident happened and I have not stepped out of room in these 2 days firstly because of the sprain ,secondly I don't have guts to face my Dad who erupted on me like a volcano two days ago. These 2 days I have spent either reading my favourite author Chetan Bhagat Novel called Revolution 2020 or I have chit chatted with Cherry and Taniya on phone .

They were quite concerned about me but I had told them I didn't had any major accident and I was fine. Both Cherry and Taniya got hint from my voice that something was wrong with me , they persuaded me to tell what was bothering me and after few minutes of persuasion I gave up and told them what transpired between Dad and me . Luckily Cherry and Taniya didn't judge the relationship between me and my Dad and they even cheered me up .

After 2 days I am feeling okay and even my sprain is gone . So, today I am going to school but today Dad's driver is dropping me to school and coaching because my scooty has been sent for repairing to the mechanic and scooty will be sent by the motor mechanic by tomorrow afternoon. I dress up for school and eat my breakfast alone because Dad has gone to UK for a medical conference and he won't be here for a week , So Mom went hospital early dawn ( morning) as she will be looking after the administration of hospital for a week in Dad's absence . My mother is an iron lady who have toiled hard in hospital, gave birth to me, looked after me in whatever spare time she had after coming home from hospital . She have stood by my side all the time ,in my happiness , in my sorrow , in my sickness or whenever Dad scolded me badly . I guess she is the reason of my strength in my life , she is the reason due to which I could bear my Ultra strict Dad.

While I was thinking of my Mom we reached school and the driver honked the horn to get me out of my thoughts . I was in deep thoughts So, I actually didn't hear the driver Uncle calling my name . I thanked him for the ride .Then I moved out of my car and went inside my school . As soon as Cherry and Taniya saw me they hugged me as if they were meeting me after ages . I rolled my eyes seeing their over protective nature towards me but at the same time I loved their over protectiveness for me. Not only them but even I felt like I saw them after a long time although in reality we didn't meet just for 2 days and secondly I was in touch with them on phone.

Cherry and Taniya helped me with my pending school work which I missed in last 2 days . They gave me notes and important circulars which I missed in past 2 days . Taniya and Cherry even helped in writing my notes , they even explained the lab practical which I had missed .

Taniya and Cherry are the most amazing and helpful peers and I can't help but thanks my stars for having Taniya and Cherry as my best friends in my life.

After school I went home, I rested for a while .Then I had a quick lunch prepared by our cook while Reena didi asked me how I was feeling now and how was my day at school . After Mom , Reena didi is the one to whom I can talk freely about my school, my coaching, friends etc.

When Mom is away at work and Reena didi is at home I don't feel lonely .So, after eating my lunch and sharing how was my day at school with Reena didi I quickly change my school uniform into casuals . Today my mood is really good so I chose to wear something ethnic . I headed to the coaching in my car .

Today everyone looked at me like I was some weirdo because no one actually wears ethnic in coaching .Secondly usually I prefer wearing comfy clothes likes shorts or jeans paired up with matching tops So, I guess my batchmates were surprised to see me in a typical Indian wear. I ignored all the glares I was getting from my batchmates and I concentrated on the lectures . After tiring 3 hours of lecture I felt exhausted . Argh....1 hour of physics lecture blew my mind away.

I went to the parking lot and waited for my driver to pick me up . Then my eyes landed on something which made my eyes grew bigger in astonishment . I saw a motorbike , okay straight to the point I saw the motorbike which I had bumped into 2 days ago, I could clearly identify it from the broken rear bumper and a cracked rear head light .

Suddenly a few questions popped in my mind . Does the motorbike guy studies in my coaching? Is he my senior? Or what if he is in the same batch as  mine. Then I heard someone clearing his throat . I saw those beautiful hazel chocolate brown orbs . Argh...stop looking at his eyes I scolded myself .

The motorbike guy stood in front of me . I stopped myself from staring at him, particularly staring his eyes .Argh ..why the heck I am getting obssessed with his eyes. In order to prevent myself from looking at him like a creep or something ,I  looked towards his motorbike.

While I was looking at his motorbike he answered some of the questions which had popped in my mind a few minutes ago. He  said   "Oh isn't she beautiful , whoever sees it , falls in love with her". I gave the motorbike guy a confused look unable to understand about whom he was  talking about because the parking lot was almost empty. He understood my confusion and he spoke again" Oh..I am talking about Bukki , Bukki my motorbike my life." He said and I could see pride in his eyes for his lovely motorbike . I felt guilty for damaging his Bukki the motorbike. So, I quickly apologized again for damaging his bike . He again like a gentleman shrugged it off and said " Its okay .You don't need to say sorry as it was just a mere accident and not at all it is your fault alone because I was also in a hurry and I had skipped the signal .When I was about to zoom off after skipping the signal you came from behind and barged your scooty in my Bukki. "While saying "my Bukki" he made a cute puppy face and I couldn't help but smile at his cuteness.

He told me he had joined this coaching today itself and it was his first day in the coaching . I asked him how was his first day at coaching . He told me that he found teaching faculty good but he felt bored since he had no friends in the coaching . I asked him as to which standard he belonged and what was his batch . He told me that he studies in Eleventh standard and belonged to the newbie batch of coaching.

My heart did a little happy dancing when I got to know that he is in my batch in the coaching. I told him  "You won't feel bored again because you are in my batch and we can be friends if you want" I said . He smiled and said " Ok so we are friends now miss... " he took a pause because he didn't knew my name .I told him that I am Diya Mehra while he told me that his name is Chirag Malhotra.

After that my driver came and honked the horn .I turned around to leave but I heard Chirag saying"You look good in Indian wear".I thanked him gracefully and I sat in my car .

The driver drove towards my home meanwhile I blushed hard thinking of  Chirag's compliment . It is the first time I have received such a compliment which is making me blush. It feels special when you get praised about how you look. Every girl feels shy or blush when she is appreciated for her looks or beauty from anyone.I guess same is the case with me that is why I am blushing .
