Love: A Bond Or Freedom

hi guys, I am back ... my exams are not over yet but I was able to spare some time today so here I hope you like it ...

" Mother Maria have got my milk ready? I have auditions today... you remember right?" , " Belle why the heck are you shouting so early in the morning. Do you want to go and give an audition at 5 am ? " Stella shouted. I ran back to my room embarrassed.I really thought it was time to go. Actually my room clock just broke a few days ago and unknowingly I was awake the whole last night practicing. So I really shouted at the wrong time I guess. Soon it was 7 but I was still walking back and forth in the corridor talking to myself," Bella stay prepared . It's fine. But what will happen if I fail? I know I am not that good. But I prepared well this time. Hey Christ see I am not bragging you up but if you help me this time I will....I will", "I will what my child"Just then I saw Mother Maria standing there smiling and others where either laughing or trying to hold their laughs. " I don't know. I am such a beggar what do I have to give God?"...., "bwahahahahaha lil sis at last you understood what you are?" Star said " Stop it Star don't say like that!" Mother said. " No no no stop why? what do you mean I understood what I am?"....after a few seconds..... " What Star just wait there ... how dare you say that!" I started chasing Star and we went round and round the table." Bella! Bella! Bella!" Cheered Sugar " what do you think you are cheering for? is this a robber cop chase game?" I shouted. Everything stopped suddenly." So what do you think it is?" Stella said. And we all started laughing. Suddenly all my worries and fears vanished and we all were having a delightful breakfast .... chatting.... laughing. Sometimes I feel like how annoying it is to have 4 sisters but you know what a family is family ... it makes you feel happy ... special and feel like you have a place to go when you have nowhere to go." Best of luck sis" Star said. " You will be fine" Sugar beamed." It's not the end of the life... it's just the starting so don't think it is a do or die. Don't go to impress but to express. Rest will assure your talent" Stella said. Yeah she is sometimes a bit bossy but it was the best compliment I got today. Rain"..." it's so her . She never speaks but today she also smiled. They all waved me goodbye and I on my bicycle beamed with confidence that even if I can't make it I will be fine but I have got to give my all.

Soon I reached the school premises. I entered the familiar hall and saw my other 9 competitors . Either they were nervous or overconfident . I belonged to the first category. But surprisingly none of us was normal. " Sh sh Bella. Over here" out of the bloom I heard a whisper and behind a wall I spotted the same man. " Over here.... come over here" I excused myself went to him" Hey sir ... why did you call me now?...and why are you whispering is there any problem?" , " No no problem Bella it's just that I wanna tell you something if you want to know it..", " Sir what do you mean ? sorry but please make yourself clear...", " See I know which theme you are gonna get today for your competition. If you want to know it then I can tell you", " And from where did you get to know it?" , " I have some connections here." , " oh so that's why you were whispering...." , " Hehe...hehe...hahahaha" , " Why are you laughing miss? See that's a good home you put upon. Do you really think I am gonna fall for that sir? " , " You think it's a joke" he took out his mobile and showed me a number" do you know whose it is? it's the chairman of this institute and only some people have this and I am having this . Do you know what does that mean?" , " Sir I didn't laugh because you were telling a lie . It doesn't matter but I was laughing on myself that I made a wrong choice. I trusted the wrong person. It's just that how foolish I am. I thought you were my friend.." , " I am your friend dear that's why", " That's why what you wanna make me cheat. Don't I know I have to pay for it . After this you will blackmail me. But that's a latter story . Why am I talking to a cheat like you. You can go on with your ways . I can tell you have a long path to go sir. Take care" , SWOOSH.... I ran like a cheetah from there .

Soon the audition started there was this guy named Harry Weatherwoods who was competing me. We both reached to the top two and then the time came.... when the results were read...

" And the results ... First time in the history ... the 51st contestant ....is.... Harry Weatherwoods" what!i I just started to walk fast... fast....and faster ...why... what if I would have listened to him.... I would have been standing there smiling .... seeing my dream come true ... but.... but" Bella" I recognized the voice ,it was him ." I told you but you never listened. Now regret. I told you . I am your friend so I cared for you but ..." , " but what sir? no ...no you are not my friend . If you were then now you would have been telling me to start again fair and good. Yes I regretted but only for a split second. But if I would have listened to you I would have regretted my whole life that I am standing in a place where someone more deserving than me have stood. So it's good ....good to regret for a split second than regretting for your whole life. Don't you think so too?" I turned again and started walking" do you really think that the world is as fair as you think. It will crush you and your dreams and wouldn't give it a dann." , " Yeah even if the world isn't but I can't change myself for the world. I WON'T LET THE WORLD CHANGE MY SMILE. I WILL THE CHANGE ... THE WORLD... WITH MY SMILE. Goodbye sir. Hope to never see you again" SWOOSH.... I ran to my cycle and then back to my church. It was late so I slowly went inside but there I saw...." So miss how was ya day?" I saw Stella .I smiled " it was fine" , " then why are you crying" , " crying.. I m " , " don't say you are not. You can lie but your eyes... they cannot" TAP TAP TAP HUG" Bella! you are crying ! what happened? Did anyone do anything to you? Tell me I will rip his head off his body" , " Stella ... I. ..I " I told her everything ... Everything .." Bella you won why are you crying lil sis ?" , " I won?" , " you won because you are right. Even if you failed... you failed fairly. That's a thousand times better than winning unfairly. Sis I was never this proud of you before. You actually raised my head. I get c.o.c.ky sometimes but see I am not apologizing for it ....but.... but I love you sis" that was the first time I heard her say that after growing up. It felt like I was back to my childhood when I used to cry like this and she... used to say the magical three words and every thing used to get alright.." now now go and sleep let's talk about this tomorrow. And remember it's the first and the last time ... a treat for you on me tomorrow ...ok?" , " ok" , "now smile ....smile... that's my girl". I went back and tucked my family's photo close to me and slept in my home... where I can go when I have nowhere to go.

NEXT MORNING.....

when I woke up everybody was normal. The normal routine but we were excited to get a treat from Stella even Rain was shocked... RING RING RING...the telephone rang. Mother Maria picked it up" Yes" , " Oh sweetie it's from you .. they have called from that institute you where you went for you auditions" , " what!" , I hurried to take the phone. Everyone went silent and were watching me..." Yes Bella speaking ...ok..yeah sure!" , " What did they say?" everybody shouted at the same time.." they want me to come tomorrow and meet them. They said they have something for me"............
