Sagarika's pov
"Bete, uth jao tumhare college ka time ho raha hain, (dear get up its time for your college.)" I heard papa saying
I opened my eyes with great difficulty and saw its already 8 am in the morning. s**t, I should have woke up 2 hours earlier.
"papa maf Kar dijie. Pata Nahi Kaisa main itna so gayi, main Abhi sab kar dungi, (Papa I'm sorry I don't know how I overslept. I will do the works now,)" I said hurriedly
"Chill Bete no need to say sorry or be hyper. All work is done I have made breakfast as well. You go and get fresh otherwise you will be late for college," Papa said with a smile
"Why did you do it, papa? You should have woke me up. You should only take rest not do this household chores, you have your office as well," I said to him
I really feel bad when papa has to do the works I feel like I'm a worthless daughter. My papa is my Mumma and papa both. I love him very much or say most in the world.
"I may be ill and old but I still can work. I haven't died yet that I will wake up my dead tired daughter from her sleep. What do you think I don't know how long you were awake last night? I know you're searching for jobs from now only but Bete you have to complete your studies first. You spent the morning in work whole day in college then take tuitions then come home do rest of the works and study then search for jobs. It's not how a 21-year-old should live her life. Whenever I think how difficult it is for you I felt like I failed as a father. If your mother was here then the situation would be different but I know I failed her as well I could not give all the happiness our daughter deserves. "Papa said and his eyes have water
I just hugged him tightly and says" don't you dare papa to say things like that. You're the best papa. I can't ask for more. And I'm more than happy in my life. If you mean living like the age of my girls is going to night clubs and parties then I'm sorry I'm good as I'm. And don't worry once I get the job everything will be good. Just don't be sad or blame yourself. I don't have my Mumma I only have you and I don't want you to leave me as well, "
" But I have to Bete that you know very well. My time is limited I only fear what will happen after I will leave you. How will my innocent daughter survive in this cruel world. "papa again said the same thing
" not again papa I have told you many times to not say these things I won't let you leave me. End of the discussion. "I said and he only nodded
I got up and run to washroom. But in all this only one thing is running in my mind. I need to find a job soon. Papa's medical loan is still pending we need to pay it. And with only papa's job and my tuition, it won't happen. I need to work hard so I can earn more. My studies are also taking a lot of my time and money. But its only a few months then I will be done with it.
I wore a navy blue top with ripped jeans and put my hairs in a high ponytail.
I go Downstairs and saw papa is also ready. And has served our breakfast.
I ate it hurriedly as I am getting late. I said my bye to papa and left for my college. I don't use any transport I can't waste money on it. After half an hour I reached my college. And thankfully I'm on time.
I go inside and started to find my best friends. But both are not here. Didn't they come yet?
"Sagarika where were you? Why are you late today?" Prisha asked me
She is wearing all red clothes.
"actually I overslept that's why. Today papa has to do all the work because of me. I'm feeling so bad." I told her
"Sagarika you're also a human being. You aren't a superwomen. You need to rest. You didn't commit any crime by oversleeping. It happens. I know uncle should not do the works but you also need rest," Prisha said to me
I know in someplace she is right but I can't do anything.
" Where is our miss topper? Didn't she came or she is studying again in the library? "I asked her to divert the topic
" Pratyusha is there talking something with Aadarsh bhai. Today he has dropped us as he was going in this way. "Prisha said and I nodded
" should go there? "she asked me
" No! "I literally screamed
" calm down girl why are you screaming? " She asked me narrowing her eyes
How will I tell her that I don't want to meet her dear cousin who is my crush? Shh! Don't tell anyone I have a slight crush on him from our childhood. He is a perfect son, perfect brother and perfect friend. But the problem is he is out of my league. He is a rich businessman and I'm nothing in front of him. Oh yes, I forgot to mention Prisha and Pratyusha are also from a rich family but they never show off their money.
"Sagarika where are you lost?" she asked me
"no, I'm nowhere lost. Actually, I am thinking something I need to go early today. Today Rohan needs to go somewhere so his mother asks me to come early." Iied to her
Rohan is my student. I teach 3 students in his house and my other 2 students are his cousins.
" ok, but why did you scream? "she asked me
Ugh! This girl can't drop a subject can she?
" Hi guys, "Pratyusha said and I thank her mentally she is looking cute in her peach colour salwar.
" so what did bro told you? "Prisha asked her
" nothing you should know about. We should go to our class we are getting late, "Pratyusha said totally ignoring her sister's question
" very mean sis, "Prisha muttered and we left for our class
" ah! Three beauties together what a sight to start this boring college. "I heard the annoying voice of Advik.
" and it is a very bad way to start our day by seeing your ugly face, "Prisha answer back
Actually, the comment was for her only. We all know Advik is behind her from the starting of our college but Prisha being Prisha didn't give him any attention.
" Ouch! Princess, you broke my heart, " Advik said with a fake sad face
" If I could then I would have crushed it and flush it so it won't bother me again," Prisha replied coldly and we all laughed including his friends
"one day you will only want this heart and this ugly according to your face, it is my promise princess," Advik said seriously
"We shall see that and stop calling me princess." Prisha hissed and drag us with her
We haven't uttered a single word yet. Because we know if we did then the bomb will blast on us.
We attend our lecture I noticed Advik staring at Prisha all the time. And she knows it as well but pretends like she didn't notice.
I don't know why I find Advik genuine. The way he looks at her describe his feelings. I really want someone to look at me like that... I shook my head to clear my thoughts and concentrate on what our teacher is teaching.
" Advik what I'm teaching?" our professor asked him
Well, he is doomed...
"Romeo and Juliet mam," He replied
"which part I'm teaching?" She asked him
"The part when Romeo and Juliet meet the first time," He answered
Wow, he was concentrating on it as well. The teacher let him sit and he smirked at Prisha who is sulking because he didn't get a scolding.
The lecture finished and we left for another lecture when my phone rang and its from papa's office.
I took the call and got the news that I was fearing.
"Prisha, Pratyusha I need to go. Papa is not well," I said and didn't wait for their response
I ran out of college and in the process I bumped into someone but I didn't look at him.
"Sorry," I screamed at him and took a bus for hospital...
