Adventurers meeting the adventurers
"Stay strong. Never give up."
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:it's the courage to continue that counts.
The sun rays pierce through the window beside shooting on my face as if Mr.Sun is jealous of my cosy sleep. Lying on the bed I find myself precipitating and to my wonder, the fan is switched off. Unsurprised at my mom's tactic to wake me up. I get up and go straight away to hug my mom who's always busy with her chores for our family.
She pushes me away from the hug."Do you know what time it is?" she questions. I answer"Mom,clocks on walls do work with more than two hands. Why wake me up for such a simple question?" I yawn as I say. " Sitara, don't play your foolish tricks with me."she scoffs.
What's foolish in this?"Don't blame me if you are late."She adds. " Come on mom,chill!" I yawn again.
I took a bathe. Slipped into my uniform which is not at all a summer type outfit, though we experience a moderate climate and put on some sunscreen lotion and orange peal talc over it that smelled really fresh. I munched up my breakfast in a hurry and put my socks and shoes on. Kissed my mom on her cheek before I take my bag .
I am all ready to go and explore this day. A new day is always exciting,gives a new hope and a chance to forget what's a worry of yesterday. I head out. Clear sky above me lit with the scorching bright Mr. Sun taking in all the fluid I have in my body with a slurp.
With a walk around 15 minutes,I am almost in front of my school - the second home. Yeah,it's a little cheesy. All of a sudden someone hit me on my backpack that's held to my shoulders which made me stumble forward and at the same time another hand...I could deduce it to be someone else's caught a grip on my bag's handle pulling me back that prevents me from kissing the ground. I immediately release a sigh of relief.
"At your's 4:00 pm ,sharp" they announce and start to proceed further not even waiting for me to give in an eye contact or just a reply.
I wonder how the three of us grew this close. We're inseparable despite our backgrounds,notions and feelings. I can never be able to find out an answer to this question but this question and the thought about "us" always pushes the corners of my lips as far as possible.
It's Tamika who has hit me and Riyaz who pulled me back. We're partners in crimes. "The three musketeers". And...what else? Yeah, the best "she - group" in our school. Those two are the best things that ever happened to me after my own family.
And...to be continued...
