• My ill innocence   PART 11

  The torturing sound of alarm interrupted my sleep, it always tampered my morning sleep - no matter how much I tucked my head inside my thick woolen blanket, the sounds still penetrated my blanket.I switched off the alram and stretched my arms. It was 7:30, morning. My school starts at 9. I could clearly hear the heavy footsteps of my fat mother."Vanessa.," she shouted. Meanwhile, I was rubbing my eyes.I got up lazily from my bed and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and took a long shower. I opened my cupboard in a hasty manner. I searched for my school dress which was folded underneath my thick unusable blankets. My school dress was crinkled. Now, I had to search for clothes' iron which was hidden under my drawer.I was already late - 8:25. I quickly buttoned my plain white shirt, wore black ironed pleated skirt and slipped my cream

  She gripped my hand and dragged me to the OPD room. The hospital was nearly vacant."Next patient, Vanessa Davies.," the compounder shouted.I dashed into the room.The compounder blocked my mom's way and said, "one patient at a time, ma'am."I smiled sardonically."I am her mother."He showed her the sign of 'get in' to her.I sat at the cold leather chair of that room.The doctor was an old man of around sixty. He wore round spectacles and had the habit of chewing bubblegum like me."Name?," he asked directly."Vanessa Davies.," I answered."Age?""17.," he stopped scribbling and fixed his eyes at me. I smiled partially in return."What's your problem?," the doctor asked."She fainted last night.," my mom answered in a stressed tone."Did you eat anything that night?""No.," my mother interrupted me. (I was about to nod my head in agreement)."O

  I woke up partially, I could only witness the sight of my mother and my Chemistry teacher discussing something inaudibly from the door left ajar. I forced myself to open my eyes with extra strength but I was too weak to do anything. Instead, I tilted my head lazily to the left and slept again feeling senseless.That murderous alarm clock disturbed my sleep again. The sound got irritating and louder. I woke up to switch off alram and tucked myself in blanket.I heard evil footsteps of my mother. She usually wears those sandals which produces a noisy sound on walking.I tucked myself under a blanket and pretended to sleep."Vanessa, I am well aware that you are awake."I uncovered myself and looked at her idiotically."Get up, you have an appointment with doctor today.," she said looking straight at me."I am not going anywhere.," I hibernated myself again.She grabbed the blanket and again exposed me."What ar

  I sat gently at the wet dirty floor and cried bitterly in that four walls around me (which were an unrecognizable audience). I slept, leaning against the uncleaned wall.My mother knocked the door continously."Vanessa.," my mom shouted in a loud tone.I opened my eyes immediately and realized that it was evening.I gulped my dry saliva and unbolted the door unconsciously."What were you doing?," she asked staring at my wet clothes."I was... I was.... washing clothes.," I lied.Her eyebrows lifted with a suspicious eagle eyes."Show me your washed clothes.," she ordered."The floor is all soapy and watery, you might fall.," I blocked her way."Are you hiding any rodent?," she sounded"No.""Okay.," she said, "I have brought a chocolate cake from that party.""Will you eat that?""Ummm, ya.," I replied casually.I changed my dress and threw my dirty clothes in a bu

  I woke up with a peaceful mind and five birds perched at my windows. I gently stood up and placed my hands at my windows. The birds flew away.The alram yelled at me after thirty minutes but I was still staring at the natural beauty of that morning.I heard the heavy approaching footsteps. My mother opened the door in a sleepy manner."Vanes-," she looked at me with puckered eyebrows."You are awake?""Yes, good morning.," I replied with a strange smile.She moved her head to and fro in quest of something, lifted my heap of dirty clothes.She scratched her chin and looked straight."Have you brought any rabbit that eats newspaper or magazine?""No.," I answered.She turned the alram off."Be ready for your class.," she commanded."But, the tuition is at 6, evening.""That's great. You will go to aunt Fenny's party today.," she said.I turned straight and uttered, "She's such

  I immediately got up and paid the bill in rage. I walked at the chilled sidewalk. I clasped my arms and observed that melancholic weather which overloaded my heart with bitter sadness, the frozen winds touched my nerves and gave me goosebumps.I pressed the doorbell and Alfred opened the door."Did your boyfriend dumped you?," he giggled."Mind your own business.," I replied savagely."That loyal Andy Dandy.," he teased.I said, "F**k off."My mom was watching a classic film. She grabbed her full attention on that monotonous scene.My footsteps interrupted her."Hey sweetie, you returned early.""Stop calling me 'Sweetie'."I jumped straight on the bed and flicked my lamplight playfully on and off. I was unable to sleep. A kind of bubble formed inside my stomach.I went downstairs in search of quick snack. I opened the fridge which was filled with vegetables."Should I warm the dinner?,"
