AMAMMA : GRAND MOTHER
At LUNCH BREAK our gang after having lunch had discussed about our lesson HYDERABAD.
Sneha:"Guys I had visited almost every place our teacher has explained"
Nikki:"Ha even me too"
Priya:"Yup I too"
Siri:"Ha me too"
Priya:"What about you arshi?"
Arshi:"Umm...me...I didn't visit all places..."
"OMG"all exclaimed in unison
Sneha:"Charminar?"
I nodded no
Nikki:"Golconda"
I nodded no
Priya:"Birla mandir?"
Arshi:"Ha...with tatayya"
Like this they started asking me and I answered...
Sneha:"Aww I feel pity for you arshi...Doesn't your father take you outside at holidays?"
Priya:"It was a big joke that she's staying at hyderabad from many years but still didn't visit most popular places"
All started laughing for which I got sad.
Arshi:"Guys...my dad is too busy to take me outside...for enjoying..."
Priya:"oh come on...she's saying as if our dad's are free and not working...Her dad is only working and earning money"
Arshi:"Hey I didn't say like that"
Priya:"Then what? You know my dad inspite how busy he is...he'll take me outside at every sunday.Our family enjoys well at week ends.We'll go to shopping,movie theater,restaurent...park...we'll enjoy well"she said for which tears started rolling in my eyes.
Arshi:"If you enjoy what for me? There is no need to say how you enjoy"
Priya:"If I say what for you?"
Arshi:"I'm listening na...and I don't want to hear how you all enjoy"
Priya:"Why as you don't get chance to enjoy like me?"
Nikki:"Stop it guys...Where's this arugument leading to? Fighting?"
Sneha:"Yeah..."
Arshi:"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have talk like that"I said and left to my place.
Priya:"Who wants your stupid sorry? Go and live your so called boring life"she said for which my tears which are threatening from long time to roll down had rolled down my cheeks.I felt sad and didn't talk with anyone.
Nikki:"Arshi...don't feel sad.You know na that priya is a big stupid,rich arrogant girl.She talks like that only.She likes insulting others.Don't take her words seriously."
Arshi:"Yeah...Thank's nikki"
Nikki:"No need to thank me...Mental girl..I'm ur best friend...Did you forget?"
Arshi:"Yeah"I said and smiled.
Arshi:"Daddy...why you always do this to me? Why you won't behave like other fathers? See how all are enjoying their lives...Even they are busy but they won't behave like you...they spend their time with their family and take them outside and make them enjoy..."I sobbed.
"See how all are making fun of me...I'm staying here from many years and yet hadn't visit charminar,golconda and the list continues...We have never atleast gone to watch a film at theater.Ha I have gone to theater but with cousins not our family."
I cried for few hours.I fell asleep after sometime.
Arshi:"They are coming..."
Sneha:"Then aren't you scared?"
Arshi:"Why should I? I'm studying well and scored well in exams...My behaviour is good.Then what should I worry about?"
Nikki:"Yeah arshi is right..."
Out floor incharge called me saying my dad has came for meeting.I went for meeting along with my dad.My dad has come directly from office.so he has his office bag and a helmet.I took helmet from him and holded it.
I took my dad near our class teacher.She took out my progress card and handed it to my father.After that she checked my performance and told about me for my father.
Almost every teacher has given nice feed back about me to my father.
It's my PHYSICS TEACHER turn.
By the time I went near that mam...there stood a boy with his mom.Mam is saying that he scored second rank in her subject.She then eyed me and said that..."See she's the one who scored first in physics subject"she said and pointed towards me.I half-smiled.My dad took a seat.My teacher started saying about me.
Teacher:"Sir...Your daughter although she doesn't look like she studies well...she performed well...I'm impressed with her marks."she indirectly insulted me with those words.
"Ok I know I'm not pretty and beautiful...and yes I look like a crazy confused girl who doesn't looks like studying...but how can anyone guess how a person studies by their physical appearence?
Can any one guarantee that the person who looka like a GENIUS is really a genius and studies well and person who doesn't look like genius and they don't study well?"
Today I proved that it is wrong...No one can predict one's talent by their physical appearence"I thought and when she admitted that I'm studying well...I felt proud and when she pointed me and said I was first...I saw a gleam of happiness in my Dad's face for which I got satisfied.But alas...he didn't appreciate me...!!! which made me upset.
After coming home he gets fresh up and sits infront of computer and does some work.
If I give school diary to sign...he signs after reading home work given for me and asks if I had done...and then he signs.
He haves dinner while watching TV and again sits infront of computer for few hours and does his office work seriously.
Even at sudays he won't leave office...which irks me the most.
Actually there is no difference for working days and holidays for him.He just will be there at home early at holidays after returning from office early.
I used to not understand why he's working too hard.
Arshi:"Daddy..."
khushi:"Arshi how many times should I say it's not Daddy...It's NANNA...you should call him Nanna[FATHER]...Daddy word isn't there in our language..."
Arshi:"Huh...Ok amma"
"Nanna...I have done my home work...Let me relax for some time...If I study 24 hours a day my brain's functioning gets distrubed."
Arnav:"What the? You should study 24 hours arshi. 10th class students wont behave like you.See how everyone are studying"
Arshi:"Aha...show me daddy who are studying at this hour"
Arnav:"See our neighbours daughter is still studying"
Arshi:"If so go and adopt her why are you raising me?"
Arnav got angry with arshi's words..."How dare you to say that?"he yelled and raised his hand to beat arshi but khushi came in middle.
khushi:"Arshi...is this the way you talk with your father? Apologize him"
Arshi:"No way...I won't"saying this I ran into my room.
khushi:"Arnavji...please calm down...we shouldn't force her to study for more time...I saw her doing her work.She came out after finishing her work"she said for which arnav calmed down.
Arnav:"I know we shouldn't force but see these serials and all diverts her mind from studying...Thats why I'm saying her to not watch TV.Don't know when she understands"he sighed.
khushi:"It's ok arnavji...She is becoming elder...she'll understand everything...Now she is still young girl so don't take her behaviour seriously...Time changes everything"
Her parents felt happy seeing their daughter doing hardwork.
Arshi:"Ha sister..."
Hema:"Congratulations arshi...You scored 90% in ur 10th public exams...!!!"
Arshi:"wha...what...Me??? 90%"
Hema:"Yes u and 90%...When are you going to give party for us?"
Arshi:"I cant believe this...Thank u sister...I'll ask daddy to give party"I said and called my dad.
Arnav:"Yeah...I heard that...even I checked it..."
Arshi:"You wanna say anything? R u satisfied with result?"
Arnav:"You could have scored more if you had done more hard work with out watching serials"he said for which I felt upset.All my happiness vanished with those words.
I shared my result news to everyone.
Tatayya kissed me on my forehead and congratulaed me.He said he'll buy what ever I ask.
I called my amma and said her my result.she felt very happy and congratulated me.
khushi:"Hey arshi...so are you happy with your result?"
Arshi:"No amma.Daddy isn't satisfied with my result.He said that I could have scored more if I dont watch serials"
khushi:"Huh your dad is like that only.You know na...He always points out any thing.But he loves you dear.You know what? He distributed LADDUS here to our neighbours and at office too saying "MY DAUGHTER SCORED 90% AT 10TH PUBLIC EXAMS..." he's too happy dear...I can see his happiness in his eyes.But you know na he is expert in hiding his emotions with dear ones and especially us.So don't spoil your happy mood.Now cheer up.He's really happy"she said for which my upset ran away and I felt happy.
Tatayya:"Arshi...One day you should also take prize like that"
Arshi:"Do you think I can tatayya?"
Tatayya:"Yes you have that capability and I believe you"
Arshi:"Ok I'll try my level best tatayya"
Tatayya:"Arshi...why are you late today?"
Arshi:"Tatayya today I came on foot...I didn't come on bus"
Tatayya:"Are you mad? Amn't I giving you money for charges? Why are you hurting me by doing such things?"he sighed.
Arshi:"oops...sorry tatayya...I didn't mean to hurt you but I like walking and I was just testing how much time it takes to come our home by walk"
Tatayya:"Promise me you'll never again come too home by walk from ur college"
Arshi:"Ok...Pinky promise...happy now"
Tatayya:"Yes..."he said and kissed on my forehead.
ARSHI:"At my school days...My dad used to drop me at school at morning.At evening I used to take public bus to go to home.My dad used to give me money sufficient for my charges.I used to save those money by going to home by walk.And I used to use that money for buying MANCHURIA.The fast food I love to have.I have habit of having manchuria once in a month.One day at school after returning to class after sncks break...I found that my purse was empty...I used to keep money dad used to give me...I used to walk 3 kilometers to save 10 rupeess...Those were my dad's hardwork income...So,I repect that money more than myself.That time when somebody robbed my money...The money I used to save by walking 3 kilometers that too by bearing my heavy bag...I was really upset and angry at the person who robbed it.If it was my earned money...that's ok...but it's my dad's income...Only I have right to use that.I complained to incharge about that and alas...I didn't find who the theif is...That's the thing which hurted me the most...I lost my dad's money...From that day I have been careful"
After I said this all were shocked.
Siri:"Are you mad arshi? For eating manchuria should you save the money ur dad gave you for your bus charges?"
Arshi:"No...If I ask my dad gives me money but I don't like to have extra money from him.
You know how hard he works?
I used to feel sad as he works to gain money for my sake...For my education,daily expenditures,for our family...I don't want to wate his hard work's income unnecessarly...so when he gives me for charges I used to save those and fulfill my wishes without asking him money at other times...I respect and love him more...so,I don't unneccesarly waste his money"
Pooja:"Ok ok...now lets continue our game..."
At morning my amma called me and wished me but my dad didn't wish me which hurted me the most.Whole day I was upset.
I didn't enjoy that day and waiting for my dad's call.
It has become evening but still I didn't get call from him.So,I started crying terribly.
Arshi:"Hey devimaya...Why always this happens to me? my dad doesn't love me...see he isn't wishing me on my birthday"I sobbed.Suddenly my phone rang.My face beamed with happinees seeing caller ID.
Arshi:"Hello daddy..."
Arnav:HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...DO YOU KNOW THIS IS THE TIME YOU BORN"
Arshi:"Thank u soo much daddy...I'm waiting for your wishes..."
Arnav:"ok then...i'm having heavy work to do...bye"he said and ended call.
I didn't feel sad as he ended call but felt happy as he remembers my birthday and birth time.
My mood set right after that call.
Sarada:"Wow...you write stories...!!! Once your mom said us...Great dear...keep it up"
Arshi:"Thank you aunty.I even won few prizes in a contest."
Chandana:"Congrats arshi.Did you show these to your dad?"
Arshi:"No aunty.He never encourages me in this...He says me to only concentrate on studies"
Sarada:"No...you shouldn't say like that"
Chandana:"Yes...You know what? Your dad distributes sweets for us whenever you score well at exams.Even at your 10th he distributed"
Sarada:"And even when you got a nice rank at BTECH entrance he distributed sweets for us...he loves you dear...you should share everything with your dad"
Chandana:"You know what...he every time talks about about you...that arshi is doing this...arshi is doing that...he cares about you a lot..."
Arshi:"What really? He keeps talking about me here?"
Chandana:"Yes...He's working hard to gain more money for your future sake.He wants to make you study higher education and give you a bright future."
Sarada:"That's the reason he never keeps leaves and spend more time here to work more and earn more"she said for which tears rolled in my eyes.
Chandana:"He every time praises you...infront of us..."
Arshi:"Huh but he won't praise me directly...he never expresses his feelings for me directly..."I thought and turned around to see my DAD who's involved in working.
"Thank you aunties for saying this.I used to wonder if he is satisfied with my education performance or not.Now that you said I'm really happy.I always keep in mind my father's and mother's hard work...so I too do hard work and score nice marks to see happiness in their faces.I always want to satisfy my parents wishes...and I'll keep satisfying them...I won't dissapoint them..."
Chandana:"Good girl..."
Sarada:"Always be like this"
Arshi:"Thank you aunty"
Arshi:"Yes dad...I and tatayya used to argue a lot...Even before his death day we argued...If only I know he's going to die...I would have taken more care about him..."
Arnav:"Now you can't change anything na...so don't cry...It's fate...his time to live has completed.so he left.We can't leave with them na.You shouldn't get weak now.You should stay strong and fulfill his wishes.You should study well and make him happy"
Arshi:"Yes dad...I won't cry..I'll stay strong"I said and written my entrance exam well.
BUT FEW PEOPLE LIKE ME AND MY DAD CANT EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS FOR OUR BELOVED ONE'S EASILY...
