Vacation

Few days passed by, i asked him a lot of times to send the syllabus but he didn't. He didn't even cared to reply, left most of my messages on seen. So i decided to let him go. I can't help him now.

Diwali was next week. I was busy shopping for me and my family. Shopping is like drug to me and i decide what everyone in my family will buy. 

Kevin - Hi.

Kevin- check your whatsapp.

Kevin has sent you 2 pdfs- notification.

Kevin- I have sent you pdfs, please start preparing notes, my kt exam date is out its on 10th next month.

I turned my internet off. What is this behaviour? I asked him to send me the syllabus beforehand. DIWALI is next week, my house is full of guest. What was he thinking?

I already had downloaded the syllabus from the college website and  prepared notes for 50% of syllabus. But he is not going to get them easily, i stayed up whole night for him.

Calming myself down, i text him back at night.

Me - I told you to sent it early.

Kevin- I sent you in the morning.

(Is this supposed to be funny? Cox this is not)

Me- 😒😒 

Kevin- comm'n, i have sent you. Please prepare notes before diwali.

( So now i am supposed to leave everything behind?)

Me- It takes time, its chemistry not zoology. 

Kevin- Take your time.😉

I sent him my notes the next day. Coz there was no point in making him wait. If he is interested in learning now, then why not. He is just ignorant to studies i thought to myself. 

-----------------------

2 days before the diwali.

Kevin- hello.

Me- Hey.

Kevin- Its just 50% of syllabus.

Me- Did you covered it already?

(I knew he won't be able to memorize all the organic structures and derivations so soon)

Kevin- No.

Kevin- but where are the rest?

Me- First complete this. Memorize it completely. I have covered all the important questions in notes.

Kevin- send me notes before diwali. 

Me- I am busy. I managed to prepare this in few days. I will be back in Ahmedabad on 6th so we will cover the rest then.

Kevin- Busy doing what? You didn't even managed to make complete notes.

At this point i was furious. This is not the way of asking for help. And i am not going to explain why i am busy. Can't he get it, its my festival, how can he expect me to leave all the fun for his stupid notes. This is mean.

Not even a thankyou?.

I was expecting a 'Happy diwali' message or a 'thank you' text from him on Diwali. But nothing came. He again started ignoring my messages.

Yesterday was Diwali, today HINDU new year, and tomorrow goa.

I was happy, more than anything. I will be with family whole time but little did I wished to be alone. Solo trip is one of my dream, well apart from being kidnapped. Yes, i wanna be kidnapped and kick the hell out of the kidnapper, rob him and return home by myself.

"Have you packed your luggage?" Asked mom snapping me out of my day dream.

"Working on it".

Dress check. Jewelry check. Makeup check. Curling iron check. Powerbank check. Sunscreen removed successfully. ( I love tanned skin, i want everyone tanned when we return). Earphones check. 

"Done" i shouted.

"Go to bed now" 

My sleeping problem has been solved long ago and now i sleep more than it is required. 

-----------------------

Goa was fun. All i did was drink (in limit coz papa), eat, swim and sleep.

We visited few beaches and no churches coz not so sanskari. On the very first day i was tanned as i wished, but on the fourth day i wished i had sunscreen. 

Our resort had tortoise park. I mean can you imagine, my favourite place, beach with my favourite animal, tortoise.

I enjoyed my trip.

----------------------------

Kevin replied few of my stories, so now you want to talk? I showed my attitude initially but than we were back to normal.

A sorry can mend things, if said on the right time.

I returned home with a lots of shells, corals, conchs, and a lots of memories.

One of the memory include- my parents were on nightout and my brother & I were alone in the resort. He went to sleep soon, at 10pm, so i decided to go to tortoise park. Few kids were already there, i shoeed them away, yes i am evil. I sat there listening songs watching tortoises making there way in small den, and i pulled them out as soon as they entered.  

The largest one, about the size of my forearm till elbow, bit me when i pulled him out for the 3rd time. Just when a voice came from behind.

"He is the angry one" said a man. He was in his mid- twenties.

"Well, I deserved that. I was bothering him" i said getting up.

He took the tortoise out, and walked towards me. Man, no one likes to touch reptiles but he did. He is as wierd as me.

"I love tortoises" he said.

I just nodded.

"My parents gifted me one when I was 11. But one day he just vanished. Escaped maybe." He said.

This is exactly what happened when i was 14. Now i am interested. I sat beside him. 

"Umm... My father saw one in the middle of the road and brought her home. I was afraid in the starting but eventually i started loving them"

We talked for a while and he told me that resort belongs to his father. He was there for inspection. 

Run just one thought came into my mind. These rich spoiled man are good for nothing. Run.Without greeting him good night I left.
