I arrived to the parking slot to get my motor bike. I crawled my bike out and felt the tire had exhausted with no air. 'Oh no', I exhaled a heavy breathe. 'I will leave my bike here and will get it by tomorrow' raised my voice in a high pitch so that the security could hear me. Then I rushed fastly to catch a bus. I some how got a window seat and settled quickly. It had been a long day and my head ached. All of a sudden, I started to think of those eyes. 'Why was she staring at me so badly? ' questioned myself. I grinned. 'Sathiya! No.. Sahiya! Yes Saaniya', recalled her name by closing my eyes.

I heard the wistle sound of the conductor and got down from the bus. My phone buzzed and I drew out the phone and it was my mom.
'Hi Ma, how are you', I asked her affectionately while walking towards my room. 'Am good, how about you?,'she responded sorely. 'Is that everything fine there?', I mumbled.
She groaned and started to complain about the debts and interests and continued, 'Papa brought an alliance for Ruthra, I think they are good enough and the groom is handsome'.
She stopped and waited for my intrude. I exhaled, 'Mama! Can we talk about this next week after I reach Pune?' She quited the call. I entered the room and jumbed over my bed, frowned my head on the pillow. I was in deep thought of my future. I felt embarrassed of not supporting my father financially. I don't hang out with my friends. No personal feelings, no personal desires. I needed to look after my family. Only my family....
