Snippets

I am Nysa. I just turned 25, and I am here to tell you a secret. This is my story. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you probably want to know is where i was born, and what my lousy childhood was like. I am Nysa Frank, daughter of Danish Frank and Samra Frank. I was born in a well-established family and grew up with all the comforts. I have a very loving brother who is five years younger than me. We had a very beautiful family with six members. My parents, grandparents and two siblings. We were a perfect family.   In the year 2000, I finished my schooling and it was time for me to join the university. Being a diligent student, I easily got admission in the Oxford University. And now I had to leave Texas and my family for my studies to settle in the UK. It was the hardest decision for me to stay away from my family. But I wanted to make my own identity. I wanted to do something on my own. This was my only aim in life. Leaving my family behind I reached my ...

It is impossible for me to remember how many days or weeks went by in this way. Time is round, and it rolls quickly. Today I am Dr. Nysa Frank. I am a neurologist. I have my own clinic in Texas. Everything has changed. I topped the university in the last year. Like my challenge Harish wasn’t able to do so. It really didn’t bother me because I had forgotten everything and moved on. As time passes memories fade away somewhere deep within our heart. You must have suddenly smelled a perfume and been reminded of someone, listening to a particular song you must be remembering someone. That is it, those memories dug deep inside us and try to carve themselves out into your mind. This is what it is called, as time moves…situation changes and life goes on. This is not only my story. It’s for everyone. No one has a perfect life; it is just made to look perfect with right people and thoughts. May be all you need to do to fix problems in your life is to just erase few messages, delete few conta...

Harish stood in front of me with a downward gaze. He was avoiding eye contact with me. He was playing with his hair and was giving vague gestures. I could read his body language. It wasn’t normal. Avoiding him I tried to leave the place but he stopped me by holding my hand. I gave him an angry look. He left my hand and took his steps back. “Don’t even dare to hold my hand.” I said fiercely. “Just listen to me, Nysa. I just need five minutes.” “You want to waste more five minutes of my life? Okay, come on waste it.” “Nysa, I am really sorry. I have done a lot harm to you but now I want to apologize. I want to make things better.” “Harish Khan, what do you want from me? Why don’t you get out my life?” “I want you to forgive me.” “Okay I forgive you.” There was a moment of silence and I said, “Did anything get better? Did I get my year back? Tell me Harish. Did anything change?” “How can you forgive me so easily, Nysa? Don’t you want to take revenge from me?” “Yes, I w...

  After sometime I remembered about my grandpas’ health. Immediately after that I called my brother. “Hello, Nysa! Where were you?"He said. “Nick! Where is grandpa? Is he fine? Please let me talk to him.” “Nysa! Calm down. Everything’s fine. Grandpa is much better now. I am confident that he’ll recover fast if you talk to him.” “Yes."Tears rolled down my eyes. Nick handed the phone to grandpa. “Grandpa?” I cried. “Talk to me. I am sorry. I am really very sorry. I was distracted. I was lost somewhere but now I am completely fine. I love you grandpa.” “God bless you, my love. You can never get distracted. You were just going through the test of your life and you have passed successfully. I am proud of you.” A flood of tears gushed down my ashen cheeks. It was painful for me to talk to him. Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. I bent forward where I sat on the floor and pressing my palms to the mat, I began to cry with the f...

How can a person be so heartless? I cried my eyes out. This was not me. This was someone else. I was completely broken. Two days had passed and there was no one for me. Not even my friends. I decided to forget everything and continue with my studies. I went to the washroom and washed my face. My phone was switched off for the last two days. I wanted to go back home but I didn’t have any option. I switched on my mobile and saw a lot of messages from my brother. I wondered why he was texting me. “Nysa, grandpa is not well. He is in the ICU.” After reading this text I was so shocked that I was unable to think clearly. My grandpa, the most loving and caring person was not well. How could I be so selfish? Suddenly my anger overpowered me. My irritation flared. A wave of fury crashed through me and without thinking about anything I ran towards the library. Harish was standing outside the library. As soon as he saw me he walked closer to me and said, “Thank god you’re back Nysa. I was s...

I had the most loving grandparents in the world. Not talking to them for a day used to make me sad. But the situation had changed. Nothing really mattered to me except my friends and Harish. One week before the exams, Harish called me and said, “Nysa, I am really disturbed. Can we talk?” “Why not? What happened?” I replied. That day we talked the whole night and it continued for the whole week. I didn’t care about my exams, not even my goal. I wasn’t prepared for the exams but the basics I knew helped me to pass. The results were out. I was just passed but I didn’t care about it. I was extremely happy for Harish as he had topped the university. I thought that it was time to confess my feelings for him because it was his last year. I was prepared mentally for it. I planned to invite him for a cute date. I looked at the mirror and fixed my hair. Suddenly my phone started to ring and it was my brother. I ignored the call and switched off my mobile. Fixing my dress I got out of my ...

“ And chemistry is my subject. If you don’t have any issue I can help you with it.” The guy said soberly. There was a moment of stillness and then I continued, “Are you sure you’ll be able to teach me?” “Of course.” He smiled. “I will be waiting for you at seven in the morning right here tomorrow.” After saying this he left the library. “What should I do? What is this boy? Can I rely on him?” Many questions were raised but I wasn’t sure what to do. Next day without thinking about anything I went to the library and unexpectedly Harish was waiting for me exactly at the same place. “Hey! Good morning.” He greeted. “Good morning. I wasn’t expecting you.” “That should be my line.”   “Ha-ha!” “Show me your book.” Handing over the book to him I gave a fair look. From that day I started improving my Chemistry. We used to study for some time and then talk about our families, goals and interests. It was repulsive for me to say so but he had managed to get a soft c...

"Not really. I am a bit nervous as it is my first day. But I am fine."I said. The boy was continuously staring at me with his large eyes which made me feel uncomfortable. After few seconds he broke the ice once again and said,"Oh! Never mind. I am Harish Khan from Pakistan. This is my second year. It was nice meeting you." He sounded nervous. "Hey! I am Nysa Frank. I am from USA. My mothers' a Pakistani too."I continued. Breathlessly he said,"Wow! That's interesting." "I don't find anything interesting here. I need to go now. See you around." Saying this I walked as quickly as possible because the guy was annoying. His continuous staring made me a bit awkward. I was a very dedicated girl and was there only to fulfill my dream. My dream was to become a successful doctor. For that I had to keep distance from annoying and misogynist guys like him who just wanted to flirt around and took girls for granted.  The rest of my day pa...
