Tara POV

25 December

So finally the day is come,My friend Shristhi birthday. Today I am going surprise her by visiting Chennai. Ya now I’m currently standing  infront of the bus stand of my hometown. We are currently now in our Sem leave so she will thought that I am in my hometown . I cant wait to see her reaction  I am so Exicted.

          Finally I climbed the bus and sat in the middle single seat . I glance my watch which showing 2:30AM and then window I don’t know but I feel little strange today maybe I am going surprise without letting know to anyone only my friend madhu know who I planned all this. After seated in the bus I dropped a message to her . Probably I will reach Chennai by morning 9:30.

              Thinking about that I opened the window and started staring at nothing  .Actual  I love to travel so most of the time I don’t sleep while I am travelling . That’s why I choose Chennai for my UG in Chennai , I just want to go away from all to know myself . I just want to know myself, independent to do things , what I am capable and the important thing is I want away from so called family and live all alone .

              By thinking all this thing while staring the window where my pass without glancing me for once , I always asked god why my life is like this I always try to understand everyone , try to good daughter , try to not to hurt anyone , always thinks about everyone but now I am just tried of this being this being that . While glancing the outside I asked the god “why god just why , no one understand me what fault I have done that you giving this punishment ? In this whole world is no one person, a single person who try to understand me , where I will be myself without any jugdement .” While thinking these things I simply starring the moon and the sleep engulfed me.

 Time skips

  I woke up by the sound of the bus horn , then I glanced outside they stopped in the middle for break . I saw the time in my phone now its 6:25am . I sighed there is still 3 hrs to reach my destination .

                 I saw my phone to check any message popped or not and saw that my friend seen the message and give thumbs up . Then I scroll Instagram and one reel caught my eyes more some like ‘choose the card’ type of reel then I randomly choose one card and caption shows that I will receive my love in few months , Like seriously Why god you giving the false hope by these stupid reels . God wants to play with my feelings take very seriously I think so. Anyways now I only want peace but  I know that thing will never come to me.

Time skips

    Finally I reached  the destination "oh my god,shit I am already late by 30 min. Now the time 10:00 am and my meeting with the bday girl 10:30am. What will do now oh god why me always"I thought to myself . I booked the  auto  to my frnd madhu’s home . Shit she will scold me what gonna do now I just don’t understand . Meanwhile the auto came I seated in it by saying the OTP. While traveling I saw one mini temple and I prayed that no problem will come in  our surprise plan then suddenly I feel something strange againnnn . I don’t know why I am feeling this “strange feeling” , then suddenly my phone started buzz .  I just pushed away the thoughts aside and focusing on my phone  and saw madhu caller id , I picked up and started to telling my frnd why I am late . While I trying to justify my side to her that maybe she will upset or panic  about our plan,

 “Hey my madhu sorry yarr its not my fault the bus took so much time to reach and….”she cut off me by saying

“hey hey stop it I called you to know where are you now and don’t worry  I shifted the meeting time to 11:30 ok don’t worry “ I sighed and said

“ Thank god ok I will reach your home by 10 min and after that just a quick freshen up and then we will depart okay”and

then she said something which my eyes poped “what in 10 min hey I am now only wakey man in 10 min what will I get ready man" and

I said “ whattt still now you didn’t get ready you girl I tell you one day I will kill you “ and she smiled and went by saying”Ok bye I have to  freshen up byee come fast girl byee byee.”

      And when I was about to say something she cut the call and I started laughing by thinking her reaction on the side when I scolded her “ Argghh these girls naa I don’t know what to do with them but they are my lifeline “My Friends” bcoz of them only I remember to smile or otherwise , Ahh again NO Tara No again .” I thought to myself  and then started to listen some songs in spotify like some arjit songs I love them they are just bliss.

           After reached her home I welcomed by her mom ,”Hi aunty how are you ?” I said and

she sweetly replied “I’m fine beta how are you and how was the travel?” , I said respectly “fine aunty and about travel just little tried but within a little freshen up it will be okay.”  And she smiled ,then there my friend emerged from the restroom and I went inside to have refreshing face wash. Wearing a jeans , brown sweatshirt I applied my kajal and thats it .

            After munching the breakfast  we booked the auto for the metro station . while the auto have to come we wrapped the gift and I took my shoulder bag . We reached the metro and took the tickets for airport where the mall present aerohub. We were discuss about  things to held like how to surprise her and about the cake which we order. Meanwhile we reached the airport and waiting in the tunnel for the cake which is infront of the domestic terminals .

           While we are waiting I don’t know but again the strange feeling hit me I don’t know what this feeling is but strange and I felt someone gazing me . I try to see the person but suddenly my frnd held my hand and dragged towards the delivery man but I try to see but nothing . I pushed that thoughts and started to focus on our plan.  We paid the delivery man and brought the cake.

            After entering the mall I masked myself and hide near the pillar  and I tell my friend ,” hey go and get her to ground floor and don’t forgot to turn her okay”, yes she is now in the first floor so we planned to come by ground floor . She muttered okay and went to pick her. There they come and I hidden beside the pillar and by action I’m telling her to turn her “turn her turn”, she gave thumbs up and told her to turn.Finally she turned and I pecked out of the pillar , and I went near her by covering her eye and asked “ Guess me” and she removed my hand and saw me with a surprised look.

 “ hey how  you here I didn’t expect how girl” she started asking question “surpriseee” I said and we explained about our whole plan . Next we head to food court, ordered our food and taking our order we sat at the vacant place . we talked , we gifted , we explained everthing in the while we cut the cake . after we went to shopping brought some dress for me , we roamed the mall and making the memories and capturing it . we got to see the taking off flights and again the strange feeling hit me “ why this is happening to me arghhhh” 

“ hey what happen come we have go “ shristhi said and we went to the metro station.

          “ Bye Bye birthday girl take care once again happiee bday” I said to her “ Thank you for coming  girl and making this day memorable bye and you also take care” she said while hugging me “ without me huggie huggie not fair guys” Madhu said and we all burst into laugh and we three had a group huggiee.

Time skips….

              We reached home and started telling everything about today to aunty while munching our lunch . We went to room to take a little nap and started to see some movies. Skips to dinner time ,my bus will be next morning so aunty said to stay  and I said “ okay sure aunty” she is like a mother for me so I agreed to her bcoz I thought to go my PG hostel . Me and madhu watch movies , series ,etc…. and after some time she said “ yarrrr I’m tried , I’m going sleep” I replied “ okay you go to sleep I will do something like reading , ok good night babe” she glared “ hey don’t call me babe and all okay and good night sweet dreams” I smiled at her reaction , she doesn’t  like these names and bad words and all but we are friends and friends all do the things which we doesn’t like right ‘Friends mentality’ "hehe".

                 I started to read some online book and again thinking about today incidents, they way we surprised  and our girls time and all its worth for the work I feel and then suddenly the strange felling hit me “ what it would be today why a different feel come to me why “  I thought to myself and my eyes started feeling heavy and I drifted into sleep which is not obviously  peaceful.

                “ Sometimes its hard to explain what you feel inside.”
