Complicated Life : Chapter 1

/*IGNORE TYPOS*/


Love was never her cup of tea. At a very small age she had become so mature that she changed herself for  being a person that she doesn't even know. She was someone so meany that she can go up to any extents to harm them, so cruel that she can destroy you to an extent that you can't even imagine, anger run into her veins like a blood. She is everything for this world except being sweet and innocent.
Khushi never wanted her life turned like this. Then who made her like this ?
 Life was never always like a fairy tail for her. It was always like a marry-go-round. Full of experiments, adventure. All she learn that this world is full of cruelty. If you want to life here , you have to be a cruel, you have to learn how to compromise. Never expect good from anyone or anything, because when expectations didn't fulfilled, it hurts a lot. Life is full of surprises, and who doesn't like surprises.
She was a unwanted child of her parents, a Meany bi**h for her classmates, an arrogant fellow for her relatives, but for her best buddies- krait, lavanya,akshay and payal, she is a sweet, pure heart, tomboy khushi ; for her nanu and nani she is their crazy granddaughter who can eat a tones of jalebies ; for her dadi and dadaji , she is their prankster and stubborn grand-daughter, doesn't listen to anyone. BUT  there is someone for whom she is as pure as a AMRIT, for him she is his sunshine. His kiddo, his angel.


YEAR-1998 SOMEWHERE IN EASTERN UTTAR PRADESH :

(MORNING)

" UUUMMM...i so hate you sun uncle, you always disturb my sleep in morning . why you came so early ? kuch kaam ni hota kya apko iske alawa. Now because of you I have to wake up "complained a 4year old chubby khushi, slowly rubbing her left eye, trying to adjust the sunlight rays. Standing up from the bed she went out of the room.

" aye khushi , so you got time to wake up ?  you stubborn girl  , never understand love's language. Now what are you doing there standing on the doorway. Need some servants to do your work ?" shouted garima from the kitchen.

Khushi just looked at her mother , now eyes fully open thinking now what she had done wrong to get again scolded from her mother early morning. She looked at the couch, her school uniform is there which she placed last night there, she packed her bag in the night itself. She had done all her work. Then look towards the clock it just 06:00am in the morning , to early for her school.

"what are you doing there ? why not getting ready for your school ?" asked garima trying to understand her daughter .
"mommy its so early. What am I going to do after got I ready ? can I sleep for  1 more hour ?" ask khushi pouted.

"didn't you hear what I asked you to do khushi ? GO AND GET READY. If you dare  to fool me, you'll face the worst of me. " says garima in a very strict tone. Khushi just ran into the the bathroom, very well known of her mother's anger.

This is not the first time , she didn't got scolded by her mother for no reason. She always try to be a good daughter but doesn't know where is went wrong. Her small brain trued every possible way but she failed every time.

Coming out of the bathroom, she went towards the mirror to comb her hair. She didn't want to trouble her mother again. She want to be her good daughter. She combed her hairs with almost full concentration, satisfied by her work she went out of the room.

 Seeing her father busy reading his newspaper, she goes towards him smiling. "papa , how am I looking ?" asked khushi , twirling around.

Sashi put his newspaper aside and took her girl onto his lap, he kissed her forehead and said,"do I always need to tell you that you look like a princess?"

Khushi nodded making her father chuckle at her antics. Sashi loved her a lot. She is his replica. But few times he pour his all frustration on her. But she never stopped loving hum or his mother. At very small  she talked very mature.

Sashi- did you had your breakfast ?

Khushi- no. I was just about to go. You coming ?


ashi- no, you go. I'll join you guys in few minutes.

Khushi jumped from his fathers lap and ran towards the dinning room shouting" come fast papa. Am waiting for you.'

Sashi smiled at her daughter and went to get ready.



(NOON) :
Khushi silently entered in her home coming back from her school. Her dadi who was sitting in drawing room looked at her, said"you back ?"
khush just looked at her and nodded in response. "go and fresh up, I'll ask your maa to serve you lunch. Then go to sleep. Understand ?" said dadi in  a strict tone.
Khush again nodded at her as she was very much tired.


(EVENING)  :
"KHUSHIII"shouted garima on the top of her voice, anger is visible on her tone.

Khush jerked listening her mother's voice, frightened. She ran toward her mother. "what happen mommy ?"ask khushi innocently.

Garima(sarcastically)- ohh, so you don't know anything ? ok then let me remind you . what you did with pooja today in school ? Mrs. Sharma told me something ?

Khushi- mommy she first torn my notebook page then I did something.

Garima- something ? and what is that something ?

Khushi looked at the floor and said in a very low voice" I cut her hairs."

That was it. The dam of garima's anger broke and she slapped khushi hard, making her fall on floor. Listening to the commotion outside khushi's dadi comes outside an just shakes her head in disinterest, like this is the usual sight for her. Garima abusing the little soul and beating her. She goes back into her room.

Indeed this is the usual sight for gupta's
Garima- now get up and go out of my sight. I don't wanna see your face. You are just a curse on me. I didn't get anything from you . just shame.
Khushi ran out of the house crying out loudly, didn't understanding a word that her mother said to her. This is to much for her brain to bear. She just understand one thing that SHE IS UNWANTED, A CURSE, A SHAME.



(SAME EVENING IN SOCIETY PARK) :
A boy in hi early teens around 8 years old sitting silently on a corner bench waiting for her friend to come. This was his favorite time. The boy is none other that ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA.

Khushi entered the park sobbing, eyes red, messy hairs; she looked around the park to locate his special friend. Spotting him on their usual place , she ran towards him shouting "annavvv"

Arnav smiled listening his angel's voice but soon his smile dropped after seeing her angel's state. He ran towards her. Khushi jumped on him taking his step back. He hug her tightly and carried her to their favorite bench. He sat there and made her comfortable on his lap.

 Patting her back, he asked her calmly" what happen to my bacha?"

After listening his soft loving voice , she started to cry out loudly. Arnav again asked her.

Khushi(sobbing) - I hate her, I hate her a lot. She always do this to me.

Arnav(patting her back) - you mad, what you did today. There must be some reason that she slapped you.

Khushi(complaining) - why you always took her side. Are you my friend or her?

Arnav(smiling sadly) - offo silly girl. Of course am your friend. I was just asking. Ok forget it. Show me your cheek.

khushi shows him her right cheek which was having marks of finger proving that she was bitten by her mother brutally. The arnav look at the mark and hissed painfully as if someone had slapped him. Not able to see her angle in pain he kissed her cheeks softly making the girl giggle in response. he smile seeing her angel coming back to her normal self.

Arnav(calmly)- bacha ? now tell me what happen ?

Khushi(innocently)- I promise anav, I didn't do anything intentionally.

Khushi told arnav the whole story that how a girl in her class torn her notebook n how she cut her hairs from her pony tail. She giggled while telling the whole scenario. But soon her giggle sound turned into sob  remembering her mothers behavior.

 Arnav stopped her from telling further. He know what must her mother done to her. It is very much clear after looking at her. He again hug her tightly unable to do anything, thinking how can someone act so brutally with a 4 year old girl that to with his own blood.

Arnav asked khushi"bacha do you want to have chocolate?"

Khushi looked at arnav mischievously, soon her all sorrow is forgotten just listening the name of chocolate. Arnav very well know, how to cheer her up.

Very soon Both the friends got busy in there blissful world. Away from every pain, sorrow,hurt.
