Today was a good day I had a lot of fun with my friends classes were good i gave all correct answers nothing hectic .

It think I am good 

"Lisa "! 

( her mother called her ) 

Oh ! Mom I'll continue it later 

Coming! 

Lisa closed her diary quickly but her fingers lingered on the page longer than necessary 

She read the last line again - 

"I think I am good "

She didn't change it and went to her mom 

Yes maa

Ok maa 

Lisa got ready and goes to bazaar 

Bhaiya 1kg Barfi 

Shopkeeper was taking more than longer 

Bhaiya could you do faster !!

(As she was standing her hands were shaking She was sweating )

Finally !

She went to home faster than She could 

Where were you ? 

Uncle is about to come 

Sorry ma that shopkeeper took too long anyways I 'll go get change 

She goes to her room look at the mirror 

Oh! my god how much I am sweating so much?

Her hair stuck slightly to her face.
Her breathing hadn’t fully settled.

She didn't even look at her trembling hands .

A few minutes later 

Lisa wore a beautiful green kurti and pajama and did makeup wore jhumkas and bindi 

She looked beautiful as always . 

Went outside and arranged the home and what she has to serve

Her mother smiled

Lisa stood there for a moment.
Listening.

Inside, something felt… distant.
Like she was there—but not really.

Lisa Beta sit with us ( mother says )

In kitchen she stood for a second thinking about what just happened her hands still trembling 

She took water and goes to the room with smiling and being same
