Back To Reality

Lisa reached the place where they both agreed to meet. She was short-of-breath as she had hurried to the place. She took a minute to take a deep breath and calmed herself down. She was walking through the pavement, staring at her steps, heading towards the garden. She stopped walking as she saw her steps land on the green grass. She raised her glance...

Lisa : W-where is he!? We promised each other to meet here. How can he not abide by his promise. No- No maybe something came up so thats why he is late but what if he already left. I'll just wait here while sitting under our favourite tree.

Lisa kept staring at her gift , smiling, thinking about the moment when she'll give it away and how she'll complain to him for being late. 3 hours passed and he was still not there. Suddenly two bodyguards came...

Bodyguard : Second Miss , please come with us master ordered us to take you back home

lisa didn't reply...

Bodyguard : Second Miss, please don't make it hard for us. Master ordered us to take you back home.

Lisa stood up and placed the gift under the tree and without even saying a word went back home with bodyguards.

At home:

Maidservant : Second miss, I have prepared a bath for you, freshen yourself up, Master and Mistress asked you to see them.

Lisa : ........(sigh of despair)

Maidservant : Second Miss!??

Lisa : Inform them that I'll be there in half and hour.

Maidservant : Okay I'll inform them right away.(goes away)

Lisa : Wait...!

Maidservant : What can i do for you, Second Miss!?

Lisa : Where is my Sister??

Maidservant : Ah First Miss!??....She is locked up in the punishment room.

Lisa : hmm... you may leave.

[ This is all my fault just because of me sister is suffering. No I can't let sister suffer even if i have to beg to my parents]

Lisa went to freshen up. She dressed herself in a different way this time unlike her casual dress up. She wore a purple dress(purple is a royal colour). She was looking just like a little princess. She looked herself in the mirror. She didn't give a f*ck about how beautiful she looked. She couldn't recognize herself and left the room (in frustration)....

Lisa (to Maidservant) : I am ready....lets go.

Maidservant : This way, Miss.

Lisa : [ I hope, me dressing up this way for the first time leaves a good impression on them. So that when i beg them they can let go of Bella. However, I know this is not me, whatsoever, I can't rebel now.]

Maidservant : Miss!? Second Miss??..

Lisa : huh! what?

Maidservant : Are you okay Miss?

Lisa : yeah.

Maidservant : Here we are. I'll be get going now.

Lisa : Okay.

[ All the best to me. May this act save me and my sister]

knock! knock!

(*Lisa knocks at the door and goes in)

Lisa : Greetings! to Mother and father.

Winston(Father) : So, do you know what did you do wrong.

Lisa : Father, Lisa knows her mistake and apologizes for being unruly and naive. I am ready to accept any kind of punishment and i beg you to let go of Sister this time. It was me who forced her.

Nina(Mother) :You got some nerves huh!? Doing something like this.

Lisa : I know my mistake and i am ready to change for my own good.

Nina (Mother) : We'll stop this matter here and no one is to talk about it ever again. Your father and me have decided to let you and Bella go this time but this should not be repeated.

Lisa : Thank you Mother and Father! If there's nothing else I'll take my leave now.

(Lisa leaves)

Nina (Mother) : Honey are we really letting them off so easily.

Winston : We better do so, for now.

Lisa went to see her sister.

Bella :(Sigh)* I wonder what happened to Lisa.

Knock knock*

Bella : Who?

Lisa : Sister, Its me Lisa!

(Bella opens the door)

Bella : Why are you here Lisa!?

Lisa : I have some snacks with me lets eat it together and i want to tell you something (smiling)*

Bella : Come, sit and talk.

Lisa : ohk sis, here have some biscuits!

Bella : Lisa, Are you Okay!?

Lisa : Of course I am. What could happen to me!

Bella holds Lisa's hand*

Bella : Tell me, What happened??

Lisa : Oh! I forgot to tell you. Mother and Father Called me. At first i thought it would be difficult to handle the situation this time but it went well. Father even cancelled our punishment.

Bella : What!??

Lisa : I am serious!

Bella : This isn't there usual self!

Lisa : Whatever let it be! And i am sorry i dragged you in this.

Bella : Silly girl! Why are you apologizing. Its not your fault. Further let bygones be bygones.

[ Is it this simple or i am thinking too much ]

Lisa : Sister...sister!??

Bella (lost in thoughts) : Huh Yes!?

Lisa : What are you thinking?

Bella : oh Nothing. Yeah i just noticed it, You look extremely beautiful in this dress!(with a little laugh)

Lisa : Sister!! are you making fun of me!

Bella : No.. no why will I?(controlling her laugh)
