Two Broken Souls

1. Her Kahani

Akshita Mishra

"The calmest souls are the most interesting, you never know if they are dancing around the world or carrying the weight of the world..." I read. I can relate to this to a certain level but I'm not calm because I want to be; I'm like this because that's how this world wants me to be.

I put the book down and after standing up I headed to my home but I know very well that I never once felt like it was one.

When I reached, i unlocked the door and got in. It was what I expected. Nobody was here. Just me and this unbreakable silence.

My parents are never present at home. My dad is an attorney while my ma is a doctor. She owns her own clinic. I know I should be very proud of her for reaching such a great level in her career, but I really wish that she prioritised her family sometimes. I wish she was there with me on my birthdays and the days I was going through something but she was never present.

I'm currently studying for neet. I am a pcb student and the topper of my class of 36 students but I never felt like I belonged there. To study for something I wasn't even interested in, the slightest.

I loathe biology but I had no other option other than to choose pcb because well...my mother wants me to be a doctor and now I'm stuck in this never ending loop hole. Now every morning, I run in the silent roads of streets to not be late for my coaching. Don't wanna be in trouble now, do we?

I headed to my room, then I began to open my books and place them on the study table. I switched my lamp on and began studying. 'Our body produces lactic acid when there is an insufficient amount of....'

Next morning

I rushed my way to the coaching centre. Well...I can't be punctual for once to save my life so what can we all expect? Reaching the building, I hurried my way to the class and sat down at my usual place.

"My team and I are conducting a surprise test today to check the progress of you all." Muttering an 'All the best' the lecturer headed off.

After the question papers were issued, I began to write my answers.

Appearantly, this was the last day of this course, since the neet examination is day after tomorrow.

The D-Day

My examination centre was near Sarojini Nagar. I smiled to myself thinking I could shop all day after the exam. I hope my day goes well.

Time skip, After 28 days

According to the education board, the results are going to be out today. I'm not that tensed though.

I know that I'll get a seat in a government college because when I calculated my marks according to the 'key sheet', I've achieved pretty decent marks.

My ma is home today, even my dad is here. I chuckled to myself thinking they were never here on my eighteenth birthday which was last week. But they were here for a mere result.

I opened my laptop. Ma and dad are beside me in my study room. I entered the formalities and when I pressed the 'open' button and began to see my result, I was utterly shocked, my rank was lengthier than my fricking phone number.

My parents are yelling something but I'm unable to make out there words. Everything is going blank. God, I tried my best but it wasn't enough. What do I do now? I feel very awful like I should just cut myself to death. No no no...I'm not going there again...But what should I do? My parents are going to kill me!! I can't live this and there's only one option I can think of...

Author Note : Heya my caterpillars!! Sandals or sneakers..what do y'all prefer? Guys you know, after exams I really wanted to read books all day but now I'm just...I don't know! Laying on my bed 24/7 and doing absolutely nothing.
How do you guys enjoy holidays?
