My childhood

I opened the drawer of my table and took an album of my childhood. Tears a making a flood over my eyes. I can only see the photo in an half blurred state due to the tears. I know everything had already faded away. I turned the Pages it feels like my happy years are always short lived. It’s fading away in a blink of eyes, Same as turning the pages of this album. I reached the last page. It’s my 8th birthday photos. Look at me, how happy she is? Her smile making me think like she has conquered every bit of this world. No worries no stress no betrayal. I guess that was day she didn’t know what’s gonna happen in her next coming days. She is didn’t know how shadow would cover over her smiling face. That day,I was so happy that my parents gave me a suprise. I was the only child they have. I was so happy to have them. Like every child, I too used to make my parents exhaust by chasing me because of my over playful character. Yeah I made them stressed out everyday doing naughty things. My mom was a housewife. And my father was a school teacher. I was from an average family. Yet my childhood was so bright and beautiful even though I got beating everyday for doing all kind of mistakes. That sour beating possess sweetness of love inside it. My parents is the first and best gift that the god gave me. I didn’t know that it was the first chance god gave me and I didn’t cherish it well. Everyday I fought with them for silly matters, yeah that is understandable for a kid to do that. But now I think that’s unforgettable mistake I had done. I should have made them more happy. Everyday night my mother would take me to the terrace to see the stars. Mother used to say that ‘ look at the stars. Isn’t it beautiful’

‘Yeah mom. Very beautiful, but stop it now. Everyday you are taking me to here and saying the same dialogue over and over again. I already byhearted every dialogue you are going to say. Now stop doing it’

‘If not to you, to whom I can give my valuable lectures about life. Isn’t it sweety’

‘Yeah I will shine like a star in future I will make my parents dream come true I will study hard and achieve a good job and will do it with my whole heart. Enough now’

‘ yeah but looking at your studying level. I don’t think you will be able to. So please stop playing and start studying seriously. Do you hear that’ I heard mom’s voice raising. So it’s better not to make her more angry.

‘Yeah mom. I will keep that in mind’

‘You are saying it for years still your percentage never came above 70’ she made a disappointed look. I went near near her and hugged her from back.

‘Mom i will try. Don’t be sad’ she turned to look at me,I immersed my face in her stomach. I can feel the secured feeling Iam getting. I know nobody can hurt me when Iam under my moms wings of love. She hugged me back. I can feel the smile appeared in her mouth. She is happy now. We went back to bed room to sleep. I heard the door bell ringing. I can hear the door opening sound. I can guess it’s my father from the footsteps. I ran near to my father and hugged him

‘ little princess. I heard your exams are starting tomorrow. Well now we had given your favorite teddy doll. I guess you score 80% this time. Isn’t it?’

‘Yeah papa. I will try’ i said in a sad voice. papa hugged me tightly and told me

‘ my princess it’s okay even if you didn’t score well. You are always our best princess ever’

‘No papa this time I won’t dissappoint you. It’s just that I feel little nervous about examination. Otherwise Iam perfect’ I tried to smile

‘Let’s go to temple and pray to god tommarrow for letting you answer everything well. How about that?’

‘But I didn’t revised anything. So I don’t think I will get time tommarrow’

‘It’s okay we will go and pray on your behalf sweety’

‘Papa you are best’

That night even though I was happy. I was very much nervous about my exams. I promised my parents already to get a good mark. I hugged my teddy tightly and slept’

Next day morning

Parents are already ready to go to temple early in the morning itself. When I wake up. I saw them getting on the bike. When they saw me. They smiled at me

‘ okay sweety. You go and study. We will come back before you go to school’

‘ okay’ I went back to my room after closing the door. I could hear their bikes sound getting away and away. I took my books and started reading, with in 5 min I was knocked out by my goddess of sleep. Why sleeping on the very morning of exams seems more attractive and additive? I don’t know. If it was a normal day. I could have woke up by now. But now this sleeping is making me to melt in to this soft bed. I can feel weight across my eyes. Even though I want to open it, it’s getting more and more heavier. ‘Okay let’s wake up after 15 min, this 15 min won’t loose me much time, right?’ I slept under the warmth of my fluffy blanket. Omg,time deceived me. I woke up at 9.00. I ran to wash room and got ready wearing uniform and Making pony hair. I wore my shoes and took my bag. Where is mom and dad. They are so late. I can’t be late anymore. I ran to the road and waited for the bus. Bus soon arrived and I got on that. I was busy thinking about the exam.
