The Broken Perfection

Diya's POV

"Aaarrghh!!!.....what happened?!!." I started freaking out, waking up to my alarm. Girl you call that waking up.....said a voice in my head.

Oh, yeah before I forget. Say hello to the annoying thunderbolt lady living inside my head or in other words meet my conscience and FYI just so you know we share a love-hate relationship since forever....wait, what? No no what shit am I blabbering? It's a hate-hate relationship. Trust me you will get it as it goes.

Bish...what? We aren't in any relationship! Freaking idiot. I ain't a lesbo. Anyways, I could have had a different intro and a better head to live in. Even though your head is empty as hell with no brains, it still auffocated in here. You should be grateful that I still haven't abandoned you. Also, who are you talking to nutt-head? Crazy weirdo.

I guess now you know what I meant.

Now, where were we? Oh yeah! Bed. morning. Waking up. Well yeah call me weird but that's how I wake up every morning with an expression as if someone just broke into the house.

Well, at least I didn't fall from my bed this time while waking up. Unlike yesterday or the day before that.

I scratched the back of my head lost in the thoughts of my new found victory of not falling while waking. Happy with my achievement, I looked at the time on my phone. It was almost 8.30 a.m. in the morning.

Yeah yeah good for you weirdo. Like out of 100 times you didn't fall like....what? Once? And you should be very proud of yourself.....my conscience rolled her eyes while pointing that out to me, making me chuckle at myself.

"Hahahaa....haaahaaha...omg Diya I can never get bored looking at you panicking every morning while waking up" Khushi burst out while laughing and rolling on her bed.

Well if you guys are wondering, Khushi is my roommate + friend + classmate. She is a human come angel.

Hey! How come she gets a better intro. You biased duck head!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me warn you we are gonna face a lot of moments like this. So let's be smart and ignore that whiney caterpillar.

"Yeah yeah, soooo....funny Khushi.," I said while snorting.

"Oh come on Diya...aren't you my cutie pie?" she grinned with puppy eyes and I fought hard to suppress the smile that was threatening to grace my face.

Please.... not puppy eyes. They're my weakness. I love dogs....They are god's most wonderful creation. I am not sure what I am gonna exactly do in future but I am definitely gonna live my life with at least 8 dogs. Yeah, I am gonna be a freaking dog lady and become a treat to all those cat ladies and CATS out there. Watch out I am coming for you! Yeah, that will be so fudging cool...

That's one of the most weird-ass thing that I have ever heard!

Get lost! I never asked for your opinion.

"Don't call me that...." I told Khushi showing her my fake anger.

Then what else do you want her to call you? Dumbo, dumbass, stupid, idiot, mutton-head, etc or....wait the famous one WEIRDO....

SHUT UP! don't forget that by calling me all that you are actually accepting them as your nicknames as well.

Whatever....but that won't change the truth.

My conscience said that while showing me her tongue. I pretend to ignore whatever she said.

"Okay, Diya I know you don't like it if people call you using sweet nicknames...which I don't understand why...but guess what? Those rules don't apply to your friends, especially me!" she said smiling mischievously.

I just rolled my eyes while she showed me her tongue. Then we both started cracking up." Diya jokes apart if you really get startled by your super loud alarm why don't you have a slow and calming alarm like me or I could just wake you up, you know?" Khushi said genuinely.

Oh....too bad...calming alarms won't even reach princess's ears.

I just glared at my conscience with that comment.

"No, it's okay Khushi. Slow alarms won't be able to wake me up and the idea of you waking me up.....its just uhmmmm....you know me" I said while scratching the back of my head.

"Okay...I get it you want to be 'independent' and you don't want to depend on others to wake you up. I get it. I was just concern about you falling down from your bed every morning and panicking at the same time while your alarm rings, you know" she said looking at me with concern all over her face. " However, I guess I won't miss my laughing therapy every morning until we are roommates," she said while winking at me.

I chuckled looking at her.

It was Sunday and its the last day of my semester. Before we start digging deep, let's start with my introduction. I am a fourth year medical student and my sem break is starting tomorrow. Usually, I will head back to my hometown, Inverness during my summer breaks to spend time with my family but now I am planning to work for this summer.

Even though my tuition fees are pretty much covered by the scholarship that I worked day and night to secure, it wasn't enough for my other expenses and living cost.

Therefore, this time I had decided to work during my break so that my parents won't have the burden of paying for my expenditures. I had already applied for a temporary staff or employee post at several companies. While applying I was not so picky. I applied randomly to business companies, hospitals, clinics, malls, and supermarkets. I just applied for jobs based on my high school qualification. Its because I don't want to get myself into anything serious or any high position jobs. I just wanted a simple temporary job since I had to go back to Uni after my break anyways.

" We are sorry Ms Diya, we can't give you the job because you're communicating skills are not up to our standards and expectations. Hope you find a job that suits you better. Good luck!"

That's what my last interviewer told me during my last week's interview at a clinic for the receptionist job. Well, there goes nothing......She could have just told me that 'you didn't get the job' with a straight face but no, to my dismay she gave me a speech of 'finding the job that suits you better'. I groaned thinking about it.

The jobs that suit me are eating, sleeping, lazing around, talking to my invisible friend and binge-watching cartoon series on Netflix. If you think I would enjoy studying just because I am a med student then you're absolutely wrong. I am not hardworking just smart. I grasp concepts pretty fast( clearly not bragging) and it has helped me a lot in going through med school so far.

Till this date, I don't understand how people in my school study 24/7. I mean I do enjoy learning new stuff and gathering knowledge but I am not just bounded by my med books. I am.... a nerd who enjoys studying but I can't have my head stuck to the books all the time.

Omg....I can't even imagine myself doing that. Nop! I would rather sleep if I can. So if anyone is ready to pay me for what am doing, I would name my Mind Reader machine upon their name. Yup certainly. Although the progress of building that machine appears to be like a stone thrown in a pond, you get what I mean right?

Yeah, invent it faster. So that people around you would regret judging you for a weirdo and could straight away send you to an asylum for the psycho you are. For god's sake who talks to an invisible whatever!?

I am not psycho you, idiot. Get off my head before I actually become one.

*Silence*

Good.

Now, where was I? Right. Communication.

I am a medical student and I am about to graduate in a year and here I am with people pointing out my poor communicating skills. God....why do I have to go through this. It's not like I hate medicine, its just....the 'feeling comfortable around people' thing. You can ask me' then why the fudge are you studying medicine?' It's not like I have been forced into this. I do like and enjoy the course but that is not the only reason why I studied my ass off to make it here with a scholarship. I am here because of a person's incomplete wish and I am here to make that wish come true.

Guess I would probably end in a specific specialist field with less talking and more hands-on work involved. I should really consider doing research about cancer but that sounds so lame.

"Diya your interview tomorrow will be sharp at 10.00 a.m. Wear your formals. Try not to be nervous. They have called you for an interview for the PA position and don't worry they are just looking for a temporary PA. Since you took business along with science during your high school you should be getting the job. Don't worry you will be fine tomorrow" Khushi said all of that in one go without giving me time to process it.

As if you will remember all of that if she said it one by one huh.....wait on a second taught why don't you invent a communicating machine? And you can name it upon me. What say do we have a deal?

Ladies and gentlemen, now this is the moment where we are graciously going to ignore my conscience. You should learn fast to do so because I can assure you that my conscience is going to annoy the hell out of you. All the best, for trying to stay sane with my conscience around. Okay, enough of my stupid conscience talk, let's go back to me looking for a job. I just hope I get the job for which I am going for an interview tomorrow.
