A DIFFICULT PATH

Ummm.....I'm so tired can l please catch a break right now? Asked a very desperate Neha who was still writing her detention work. Her punishment was to write I will never prank the teacher 750 times poor Neha had only written it for 484 times now but her head mistress Ms. Siya had been assigning her the same punishment from the past 3 months. Neha had gotten pretty bored by now and was too calm about it well let me tell you how she got here in the first place turns out Neha got really mad at her science teacher ms.Isha ms.Isha had been treating 1 person more superior than the other Neha had good grades but if she did something wrong the teacher would scold her but if her classmate Aradhya did the same thing she would say nothing . So Neha had been trying one prank after the other to get ms. Isha into trouble. Coming back to the present , ms.siya glanced at the clock and replied I guess you can leave now try to finish it by this weekend and I want it on my desk on Monday before lunch. Neha nodded quietly as she dashed out of the door and got into her car she saw her mom glaring at her with a rage of anger in her eyes Neha's mom yelled at Neha  saying

 Mom: "you ungrateful brat another prank in school in school and you will be expelled!"

Neha :"oh! Please mom she totally deserved it"

Mom: "well, I've asked her to make some changes in your characteristics so she's just doing her job I guess"

Neha : some dumb woman

Mom: excuse me?

Neha : oh mom I meant ms.Isha

mom: well.. that does not give you any rights to replace her necklace with a rubber snake and putting a fake spider in her cup.

Neha : oh! that's my favorite part it would make a great story for Riya she loves to listen to these stories

mom: I'm serious Neha! she yelled as she slapped her on the face 

*well.... Neha was used to it by now*

Neha :*sobs*

mom: Oh god! you are such a bad influence to Riya 

Neha : *continues sobbing* ugh!

mom: Well please put the curd out of the fridge, thanks to you, I'm late for Riya the 6th time this month.*she drives away*

Neha  quietly opens the door and locks it from the inside. She was used to it by now. Neha   puts the curd on the dining table and watches T.V for sometime later her mom & her little sister have dinner with Neha  and watch t.v with her .

The next day was a holiday......

so Neha  had 0 plans because she had 0 friends all the people in her class were on 1page and she was on the other also people around her pretty much ignored her.

This went on and Neha  had come second in her 10th and 12th board.94% in 10th and 95% in 12th. Now Neha was busy scratching her head and wondering what to do?

people around her were good at something or the other and she was just this lame talentless woman. Even Riya was good at singing. most of the times Neha  asked herself why? why? why god why? why did you make me like this so worthless, powerless and useless I mean come on I what did I ever achieve all by myself? I wish I would be good at something an all rounder. She muttered with tears in her eyes .I was totally worthless wasn't l she spoke with her head under the blanket her dog buttercup licked her face and dozed off on her lap. Neha smiled as she pet buttercup on his head.

Neha was on level 0 in high school too. Her classmates were ShRiya,Kavya,Aradhya,Arhaan,Mayan,Ekansh,Viraj&Srijan all of them were a group and Neha felt disgusted . Well, let me give you a example if Neha made answers for the question & answers she asked all her classmates to copy it down but they didn't but if Aradhya said the exact same thing they would literally copy the whole thing down. Neha thought this was so pathetic. Also shRiya was her ex-bestie she dumped old friends for new ones Neha however knew every thing about all this but never muttered a word. She knew that her whole class would side with shRiya and shRiya was extremely popular in school so no one dared to mess with her. shRiya used to be Neha's bff but all that changed after Aradhya's arrival shRiya stacked to Aradhya like glue both of them were bffs not to mention this hurtes Neha a lot also shRiya called Neha a fake friend in front of the whole class. Neha did not speak to her for the next 2 days she wanted to continue that but Ms.Isha came in and explained the girls that holding grudges was bad however Neha  clearly explains Ms. Isha that she could not trust her anymore but as usual Ms. Isha played favorites and Neha was not an easy girl to give up she is one brave child and she got her revenge by hiding ms.Isha's science text book in the pantry . She later felt a little bad for her and put back the science textbook on her desk.

Coming back to the present....

Neha went cold with a packet of marshmallows in her hand she got up and had no idea what to do later she saw a writing competition on the t.v show she thought of signing up for it but her mom wanted Neha to choose an actual carrer and there banned Neha from using the word author ever again. Neha studied medicine even though she never wanted to she just tried to make her happy Neha continued to write short stories but never told her mom about all this. Riya was now working as a playback singer and she was a part-time social media influencer.

Riya was married soon. Neha was a veterinainarian . Life was moving smooth. But one day Neha opened her door to find Riya badly wounded she was crying. Neha fought back angry tears she put her hand on Riya's shoulder and asked"who did this to you?"

Riya:m-m-my-husband

Neha:dosent he know how to treat a woman is this how he takes care of you we,we trusted that idiot and now he has gotten hold of all your money we can't keep quiet like this Riya do you know what women who undergo domestic violence in their house every day are reffered as?

Riya:umm.....victims?

Neha: NO SURVIVORS

I'M GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST HIM!

Riya with Neha 's help was able to get her money back and both the sisters later marched up to their old mother and asked mom you are okay with our decision right?

their mother yelled at them saying are you mad Riya ?Who will be the father of your child now?

the child will be father less?

i'm so ashamed of you Riya you were so much better than Neha but now2 you have become worse than her

Riya:mom I am sick and tired of you you have been comparing me and Neha ever since we were children and guess what? We are never going to talk to you again we will vist you 2 times a year or so and Neha I think you need to publish all the short stories you have written we dont need our mom's opinion now

And mom ,men as soon as their wife dies they marry another woman to take care of the child and they have a million excuses to do so.

BUT WOMEN THEY DON'T NEED ANYONE'S HELP TO RAISE THIER CHILD WE ARE INDEPENDENT WE ARE CAPABLE OF WORKING AS MANY JOBS AS WE CAN TO PROVIDE OUR CHID 3 MEALS OF THE DAY.WE CAN BE A SINGLE MOTHER!

*Riya holds Neha's hand and walks away *

NEHA LATER PUBLISHED HER BOOK AND BECAME ONE OF THE FAMOUS AUTHORS IN THE WORLD.NEHA WAS PROUD OF HERSELF AND RIYA RIYA SOON GAVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHY BABY GIRL.

PEOPLE FROM FAR AND WIDE CAME TO VISIT NEHA.

NEHA ENSURED THAT EACH AND EVERY CHILD MUST RECOGNISE THEIR TALENT SOONER OR LATER AND THEY ARE UNIQUE IN THEIR PROSPECT.
