It was during the winter holidays which got extended due to teacher’s strike when I was last allowed at my madness’ dwelling. The whole long day we used to sit and watch horror shows when she got scared and I used to laugh, played chess when she had only 2 moves before checkmate, played badminton when I loved rest of the crowd of my road. So studies could never make it to our agenda… poor teachers were on strike don’t know for what reason, but we loved the long holidays so much that we are now out of college for past 2 years!
It was one of those nights during those holidays when 3 of us were counting stars on the terrace… me n my madness and her Roxy! The cool breeze and Ricky Martin playing his cup of life out of my aiwa walkman had occupied our space. Those days I liked playing my mandolin and my madness wasn’t in a mood to listen.
‘You know what? I hate my dad’ she said.
‘Why? What happened now?’
‘He still wants me to read well’
‘But my mom is more unbearable…’
‘I don’t want to be an engineer or doctor’
‘Nor do I’
‘I want to become a heroine’ she said something without really thinking… as always!
‘And I want to be a villain’ I argued.
‘I’m serious you know? Riya’s mom knows a few people… can you accompany me tomorrow to the H N Hall?’
I thought she was blabbering but she was serious.
‘Ok but why?’
‘You’ll know…’
Later in the night I was thinking about the next day and couldn’t sleep well. Before I slept it was morning and she was calling my landline. Those 3 rings meant it was her. I wasn’t really interested but wanted to know what she was going to do. So I got up and had no time to get ready and rushed off! We were at the H N Hall…
Priya was an assistant director for a tele-serial and had promised my madness of a role. So we had gone with lots of hope.
‘Hey I’ve a role of a villain, would you be interested to do?’ Priya asked me while my madness blinked at me.
To be continued…
