Adhiti's point of view

Life in a small town is simple and it become more simple if you are living in a Saharanpur. This is the small city in Uttar pradesh. People in here leads a very simple life, they go to their work in morning and at night, they sit in front of T.V after their dinner. There is no club or any big shopping mall, cinema complex and absolutely not a tourist place where you can go and spend your weekends.

If a boy and girl walks together, people watch them like they saw an alien, no matter if they are siblings or friends. Here love marriage is not allowed, especially not in other casts. In middle class orthodox family, girls are not allowed to make any male friends or even talk to them. People will judge you faster than they changed their clothes.

Inspite, of all of this, I love my hometown. I born here, and grow up in our small home. Saharanpur might not be a metro city but here you can find peace. Here nature will give you the peace and you will fall in love with it instantly if you try to know the city closely.

I belongs to a orthodox middle class family. Ofcourse I am also not allowed to talk much to boys or make any male friends but you can't ignore someone because of their gender.

"Adhiti, where are you?" I was in the kitchen making macaroni for my friend Divya when mummy called my name.

"I am here in kitchen." I said while chopping the vegetables for macaroni.

She lives in front of our house family. They shifted here two years ago and lives in a rental house. Her father is a government teacher and being transferred here. Divya and I met in school. We both are in same school and we both become good friends at the very same day at Divya's first day on school. I really help her to adjust in school and helped her in studies.

Divya is a eye candy of her parents and spoiled by her two elder brothers. She is youngest one and a only sister of her two very protective brothers.

Mummy walked inside the kitchen and asked me, "What are you doing here?"

"I was making macaroni for Divya." I said while taking the onion from the basket but as I about to chop it in a slice, mummy snatched it from my hand and switched off the stove under the pan in which I put macaroni to boil.

"First go and buy some groceries from market, after that make pasta for Atul then you can do whatever you want to do." Mummy said

"But mummy.."

"I don't want any argument. My son is hungry and here you are cooking for your friend.  First do as I say and then you can cook for your friend. After that clean the kitchen. I don't want any mess here." Mummy ordered me like, I am her servant not her only daughter.

It was always like this, mummy scolds me without my mistakes so I am habitual of mummy's behavior towards me so as time passed I know how to ignore it.

"Okey.." I whispered and clean my hand with kitchen towel.

"Adhiti when you came back from Diya's house, made dinner for everyone." After saying this she walked out from the kitchen without hearing my answer.

Today also, I have to do my computer class homework at night, before sleeping.

I took the money and the list from the kitchen slab where mummy put it. After changing into simple creamy white Anarkali suit I went to market for grocery shopping.
