Her Dreams!

She was writing from 2 years on her Facebook page. She used to write about friendship and love. These two words mean a lot to her. On day, she was surfing net and saw some anthology contest going on. Many people took part in that competition. She was simply ignored it. At that point she was not interested. She saw many more anthology competition going on. And she used to write on that topic. She chose to be silent, because somewhere she knew her family won’t support her. She used to feel sad for herself sometimes as she was losing many opportunities of her life. To get distracted, she started to maintain some distance from her little world that is writing. She used to miss writing but then she used to say ‘It’s Okay ’. One say two of her friends came home. And asked her “What’s going on? Why no update on page?” She stayed silent. Both of them looked at her with all their anger.

“I’m thinking to quit writing!” She said in a go.

“Say it again?”Nishant(her best friend ) asked her.

“You heard it right.” She repeated her words.

“Why?” Nisha(her best friend) asked her.

“Because, I don’t want to write.” She said with a sad face.

“Who demotivated you ?? ” They asked her.

“No one did.” She said.

“What happened? Can we know?” They both wanted to know.

She told them everything. She wanted to take part in the anthology. They both asked her to talk to her mom and dad. But she denied saying “They won’t allow me.” They both forced her to ask her dad first then mom.

She agreed to ask her parents.

After 2 days, Gathering all her courage she asked her dad “Papa, can I take part in a contest?”

“Which contest?”Her dad asked her.

“A writing contest dad. Please I want to take part.”She said.

“Next month you have exams. Concentrate on that. No need to take part. ”her dad said as he was more concerned for her studies.

“Okay.” She moved out of the room.

Next day, she asked her mom.

“Can I take part in this competition please?.” She asked her

“Yea!! You can. Take part in it.” Her mother said.

“Papa won’t agree to it mom.” She said,

“Look, just take part and I’m there with you.” Her mother said.

“Really?”She asked.

“Yeah. Look! If you are taking part in a good thing, I don’t have any problem with that. Just tell me once before you take part.” Her mother said.

She felt bad because her dad didn’t give her the permission.  But still with having her mother by her side she was happy.

Then she took part in the anthology and yes she got selected. When she got the first book in her hand . She showed that to her mother and her mother’s happiness was on peak that day. She had tears in her eyes. When her mother was proud of her.!
