Life goes on....(Part-6)

 

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 force of a person vomiting on all fours.

After this I remembered my grandpa and his talks. I was full of positivity after that. My tears vanished and I promised myself that I will never hurt my loved ones. I stood up strongly and arranged my books and dress for the university. I decided to join university from the next day.

Next day, I went to the university. After seven days of breakdown it was really hard for me to ignore everyone but I helped myself to stay strong. Aina was the only one with me. She was always there for me no matter that I had ignored her for others.  She wasn’t there in the university when this scam took place. I focused on my studies. I had missed a lot of lectures and it was really hard for me to get my life back on track. The whole day I prepared my notes and it was time to return back to the hostel. 

“I am sorry, Nysa.”
