Beyond Control

Zada gaped at Neha who was gobbling her breakfast as if this is the last day of her life

"Neha. Are you going on a month long fasting??"

"I'm dieting from today onwards" Neha said swallowing the food

"This is how you diet??"

"I'm eating only breakfasts from today. I need energy until tomorrow morning"

"Why this sudden dieting plan??"

"Yesterday that brat called me moti" Neha huffed

"Which brat??"

"A brat in my neighborhood. I was on a video call with my momma and this girl had to be there with momma. That itself is so irritating. I mean doesn't she have her own momma. Why coming for mine. I always hated her. Ever since she was born five years ago, she had been my nemesis. She wants to be the centre of attention always. Okay, she can be the centre of attention of her parents. Why mine too" Neha huffed

She again got side tracked from the topic of discussion

"Well, we were talking about your dieting" Zada reminded

"Yeah that's what I was talking about. That little twit called me moti. How dare she. I will show her the next time I go home. I would be size zero by then"

"You are crazy. You are having a rivalry with a child?"

"She is not the cute adorable five year olds you see in the TV shows. She is a little devil"

"Enough. We are getting late. I don't want to miss another lecture. I have been missing quiet a number of lectures lately" Zada said slinging her bag on her shoulder and tapping her feet on the floor impatiently waiting for Neha to finish her breakfast

A teasing smile appeared on Neha's face

"Really?? And why were you missing those lectures? Something to do with our very own bad-boy extraordinaire" Neha asked and Zada rolled her eyes

"Don't ask me"

"Tell me tell me.. What happened in the library. I saw him following you into the library" Neha said and Zada looked at her in disbelief

"And yet you didn't come to rescue me??"

"Now why would I want to be kabab mein haddi" Neha asked cheekily earning a whack from Zada

"Shut up and come if you want. I'm going" Zada turned on her heels and started walking forwards

Neha quickly followed fell in step with Zada

"Come on. I'm your bestiee. You are supposed to tell me everything that happens in your love life. Now tell me what happened in the library"

"I don't have a love life."

"Your strawberry face says another story baby"

"Strawberry??"

"Haa strawberry. Now everyone says your face has become like a tomato when you blush. What is the fun being like everyone. Strawberry is also red. And it looks more beautiful than a tomato. Anyway I don't really like tomato very much. If I'm eating a Burger or sandwich I always pick out the tomatoes. Even in the curries if they are visible I always throw them away. Momma always scolds me saying tomatoes have all those vitamins A B C D E F J. As if it's only there in tomatoes"

"There is no vitamin F and J" Zada said

"Really?? Haa what does it matters anyway. You get what I mean right. I just said it in a flow in the alphabetical order"
