Shades-V

Her never ending silence was broken when Ankush  called her aloud asking, "Plz continue Tammy, its very interesting,I really want you to go on." She just smiled at his innocence and back in the real world continued her words for Ankush, “It was completely unexpected that was happening with me. I had always been a very strict girl, when it came about studies, career and not to forget, boys getting over- friendly to me. As it was very clear in my mind that I didn’t want to ruin my dreams falling in the pit of shit, as I considered it since then. There had been many guys proposing and being after me but I never wanted to be in any loop. It was some Black Friday that I came in contact with him.”
 Ankush even more excited, but a little tensed kept looking at her, and expected more out of her. Tammy was even more surprised with the level of involvement he was showing in her story. She had never expected that an 8 year old would understand her better than the rest of the world. At times wonders happen and not to forget “Exceptions Are Always There”. She could  feel the level of concern he had for her ,and it made her remember of the someone who was once equally concerned for her. She smiled and continued, “ I always wanted to be a Doctor and really had to work hard for the same. I never spared time for other stuffs that a teenage girl would love doing, instead I considered it as a waste of money and resources. This also shows that I was good at debate and idealistic talks and not to forget I was always appreciated for the same. But when time and destiny throws a yoker , one can’t help being clean bold or move on to a sixer. But in my case it was a clean bold even after being completely aware that a full toss yoker is driving in. I couldn’t do anything except getting into it. There was no other option in my Multiple Choice Question assignment for the first time. It came like a blow and blew away every little thing in Me.”, she took a pause as she completed the last word. She felt she was flowing in the Pacific ocean of emotions and was not able to even hide a single flow of her emotional elements ,that were running in her mind since 5 long years.

Shades-IV

"I was the most amazing girl during my school ans college",started Tamanna."Everyone called me an all rounder, good at sports and great at studies as well, music , dance, designing, everything one could think was on my cords", she continued.Girls were jealous and boys admired her and teachers portrayed her egs.
She went on and on with her story and the kiddo kept on listening with full concentration as it was his first science class. Tamanna kept on saying about her awards and rewards she earned in the meanwhile. Ankush was astonished about her story and kept listening as if some super story was on. “I was an all rounder girl, who would even take challenges with boys; in fact I loved taking such challenges. I was best in studies and would even give complex to boys when it came to sports. Bicycle rides to bike rides were all the stages at which I had challenged bunch of boys and won as well”, replied Tammy. The kiddo replied astonishingly, “Really, Is it possible that a girl can defeat and challenge a boy?” Tammy smiled and explained him the answer to it, “Girls are not weak and if they decide to win, nothing in this world can change it. Girls are very deterministic and would compromise any comfort to achieve what they desire”, added Tammy. “But at times she forgets her strength and power  in her inner self, and  then comes the stage, where she starts forgetting herself and in the due course starts loosing herself”, Tamanna said and went into her never ending silence.

Shades-III

Her eyes were so expressive that even the thick eyelashes she wore couldn't hide them. She was dumb stricken and speechless.But Ankush was still sitting confident and smiling a little as if he was analyzing her deeply. The very next moment he  broke his silence and asked her," will you mind if I ask you something?". Tamanna was thinking about the next disastrous question the little monster would frame in the most prettiest way. But still she replied," Yes you can kiddo..". Ankush impatiently asked, "Firstly, Can I call you Tammy?".Tammana smiled in consent. The very next moment he again asked," Will you please tell me about your Boy Friend,Tammy?". Her ears turned towards every word he spoke, she was not able to belief what the little monster had asked a few seconds ago. He again said," I won't mind if you had one or many earlier, my deal is always open for you." She couldn't resist herself from laughing out loud. She laughed until her stomach ached and her beautiful eyes got filled with tiny drops of tears. Looking straight into her eyes Ankush again asked her the same question ,as if he had decided not to go with his name this time, no full stop until he would know everything. She looked at him helplessly as if she was neither being able to resist disclosing it all nor was being able to keep it secret. Finally the 8 yr old's innocence melted all her emotions that she had hidden since last 5 yrs, behind her strict and practical purview. She smiled wiping the last tear drop in her eyes. The kiddo was assured that he will definitely get a yes from her side. The very next moment she put her consent, that she would tell her the entire story only if he could keep it secret. She was herself not being able to believe that she was relying and trusting an 8 yrs old in such  a crook world. But to some extent she was pretty sure and confident about what she was doing.

Shades


She was totally blank at that instant, as if something pricked into her mind and heart simultaneously. It seemed as if she was dead cold with such a silly question., that could even be noticed by the little 8 yr old. Her face turned pale as if she would either collapse or will burst into tears. Nobody out there could understand why was she behaving so different from what she had been a couple of hours ago. She turned out to be the most playful, joyous and kiddish girl as per her age but still overflowed with all the senses of maturity. A tear drop fell from her little eyes , but she wiped it ASAP. The little monster turned into a little angel, stood up and went close to her. He raised his little fingers that touched her gentle face and lifted her face a little, he wiped the next upcoming tear in her eye. She couldn’t keep away from hugging the kid tightly. He sat besides her with a question mark marked all over his head and eyes.
Tammana took his hand in hand and in order to lighten up the atmosphere asked him, “Will your parents accept me as  I am thrice as old you are kiddo?”. After the next couple of words she heard, she didn’t have a single word to say. He very calmly said, “They will be happy in my happiness and happiness relies completely on you”, and sighed after such a long sentence he managed to speak. The words choked her throat and she was not able to speak even a single word. She felt as if these were the most familiar words in her life after which she always stayed speechless. She felt as if she was still searching the appropriate answer for the same, but she was lost in the mid way.
