Lets hope you guys enjoy.
Working Title
Simple and Complicated
Indian love story
Chapter 1
The strokes are strong and clear. She slices though the water, as if some one is after her and she is trying to reach out for her life. 10 laps, 20 laps and finally 30 and then relaxation hits - then awareness of where she is. The darkness is slowly fading as the dawn decides to finally appear on the cold chilly morning. Its winter, and the pool is deserted, water dripping she fumbles around for her glasses!! Finally remembering they were on the floor somewhere – As she snatches them up she slips up ‘yikes!!’ hey this had to happen right, she thinks, before finally heading out. The outside the sun is glaring and she of course she is late. Rushing out with her head in a whirl she struggles with the starting mechanism-an idiotic lever whose name is as obscure as its function. And hurriedly zips through, causing a minor flurry with some street dogs - who have taken exception to her bikes wheels.
There seemed to be some commotion in front of her house and she slips past them in the hurry to get dressed in time but fate being what it is decides she should not be helped. Her father notices and calls to her to respond immediately.
‘Ohh no!’ – she thinks - ‘its Hari aunty – Shit, she is after me for the 500 hundred I lost that I did not tell daddy . ‘Well well well’ Hari aunty drawls as she smilingly advances ‘here she is!” So tell your dad what you did then!
Ria (That’s our heroines name, by the way) feels like she is growing smaller and smaller as her father looms over her. ‘Yes’ She cringes ‘I did lose some moneyand had to borrow from her. Sorry I forgot to mention it but…..’ . Her father raised his hand cutting her off mid sentence. Mentally Ria gears up for the impeding storm to break, and then her father sighs ‘I knew it’ he says as he steps inside getting his purse. “Hey maybe luck is on my side” thinks Ria and quickly gets out of the way, hoping that escape was near at hand, and nearly manages it too, but her father is waiting by her bike.
Well lets put it this way, after a lecture on his favorite topics ie : Decreasing respect for money , the morals of youngsters these days, society , age , life , Vedas , family and finally all the things wrong with the most scatterbrained child ever seen on the face of this earth. He lets Ria get on the road – to college.
College – Oh the forgotten home work, the untidy copy of English, the surprise test that they announced last week, barely bothers her and she sails into class , to her bench and finally for the first time in the day takes a deep breath. Her friend whispers!’ Whats wrong?’ and they grin - they know exactly ‘what’s wrong?’ The droning of her teacher soon puts her in a state of semi coma, with half closed eyelids she manages to at least look like she is listening, while her mind slowly moves to its own world. The ringing of the bell jolts her and she runs to P T class, to ask about the latest state level swimming meet. ‘The meets coming up in a month so you had better be prepared to at least meet the state record’ Her teacher , normally the most pleasantest of teachers actually stares at her hard opens her mouth, and then a sense of deja wu steals over Ria ‘No… This is not happening - another lecture ? From her!! No wayyyy!!!!!’ but there it was - right in front “Responsibility, Career, Future , Life ……..“ today was definitely not a good day thought Ria as she slowly walked back to her class room .
