CHANGES AND CHALLENGES

Briti, like any other girl entered the stage of puberty. New thoughts, new worries... physical and mental changes.... some restrictions... all these made a mess. She thought "What if I sit with my friend (boy) who has been studying from class I with me? Why has he suddenly became unreachable? Why the other boys are staring at me and my other girl friends? See! Now, its 10th class final exams.... we all can't be together again. We have to join in difference schools for +1. Though, I have written my exams well yet I am not happy. And today I am feeling very upset and lonely. It's all because of him, Alan. What happened to that Alan? How could he do that? He proposed me! I said NO. But why did he do that? I am really disturbed. He is a good friend of me since my Class IV. Now, how can I even talk to him casually? Anyway, I am going to my granny's place for vacation. I can find some peace and lots of fun."
       This is just starting. She went to her granny's place to spend 3 weeks with them. Her granny's place is one of the loveliest places on this earth for her. Not only for her, in fact for everyone. It's situated on the river bank. A bungalow, with a river front view, greenery everywhere. Relief from city pollution and those horns..... a peaceful and lovely nature welcomes all with its beauty and fresh air. Briti loves to swim in the river; she did during every summer vacations. But now... she can go and swim but only if she was accompanied by her siblings and cousins. Granny loves Briti more than her any other grandchildren. She takes care of her, provides favourite food, clothing and priority too... 
     One week went on unknowingly. One day, all the cousins planned for a picnic with neighbouring friends and others to nearby waterfalls. Many instructions were given to Briti and her Cousin who is of her age Sudeep. Both are like Tom and Jerry. Neither of them is Tom or Jerry. They are both, exchange their role every now and then. But now, these two are heading the picnic group. As soon as all of them leave the home, they became two groups. Briti with the siblings of Sudeep and her friends and Sudeep with the siblings of Briti and his friends. Briti's siblings do not support her and Sudeep's do not support him.
   They reached the waterfalls. The kids are very eager to drench themselves in those falls, when, Briti trying to control them. Sudeep with his friends is already under the waterfalls and enjoying the location. After 30mins. of struggle with her juniors (the kids), finally, she made herself free by keeping them at safe place. "Hhaaa.... what a relief! The bright Sun rays striking the water forming a VIBGYOR.... fascinates every visitor of those waterfalls.

Briti with her teenage siblings steps slowly and carefully towards the actually fall where Sudeep and his friends are enjoying where one of his friends is busy capturing the beauty with his camera lens. It's rocky way and dangerous too. Should be careful. She is just a few steps away when she found herself bleeding in her foot. She shouted "Ahhhhaaa! Blood!!!.....................................
After 2 minutes.....

       "Are you so senseless? How can you girls forget yourselves and walk so carelessly?" started blaming Sudeep. A small piece of glass had cut her foot. Somehow, her foot was wrapped with a cotton scarf that she was carrying. Luckily, the cut was not deep. So, she got first aid and she now joined again the group to enjoy that scenic beauty. They were ready to go back home. Briti managed the entire group not to tell about the cut at home. All agreed with her, when she promised Sudeep that she would take medicine after reaching home and let him use her Lapi for a week. 

Deal ok.


      While they all were travelling by the mini bus, she asked Nishant, the boy who captured pics to give the camera to see the pics. He, who was sitting 2 seats back to her, reluctantly passed it to her. Seeing the pics, she was shocked. 70% of the captures were of her. While she was driving the sibling-kids, chatting with teenager siblings, playing with water, mocking Sudeep, almost all her actions in the trip. 

Can she thank him or be angry with him? 

What should she do? 

What she had done?

Let me disclose it in my next article.
Hope, you enjoyed this article. :)
