Writer's pov :

       Vaishu reached her home after her outing with her friends. Her house is not so big, it's a normal one with a beautiful furnished look. She started ringing the calling bell. 

Her mother opened the door with an tensed face and asked, "Where were you?" 

Vaishu started moving inside and whispered, "I already told you that I am going to a movie with my friends" while keeping her handbag on a nearby couch and she sat down beside it. 

"Oh! I forgot, you know you would have texted me. I was really much worried, I texted you but I didn't get any reply from you, even I called you many times why didn't you picked up my call? " her mom said doing her work in the dining table. 

" Mom I am not a kid anymore, don't get worried about such small matters and about your call, my mobile was in silent mode so I didn't notice that. Sorry" Vaishu shot back grabbing her mobile from her handbag and started using it. 

"Vaishu, you know very well that I don't have anyone to care about. It's only you, I am living my life only for you. Just remember that and answer my calls hereafter. " her mother yelled doing her things. 

" You are the one who made your life like this.  Still now I am requesting you to give my happy life back, I want to see you happy mom. Please mom, I don't want you to suffer anymore, it's already been 5 years. " Vaishu whined more like pleading. 

" Shut your mouth Vaishu. Don't even ask me that, you too know very well that what happened, try to understand my situation baby. " Vaishu mom asked in a pleasing tone. 

Vaishu sighed and said," Then don't ask me to be happy. I just have two aims in my life. One is in your hand and the other is to become a surgeon. I will fulfill my wish either by hook or crook. You don't need to worry mom. " scrolling through her social website page. 

" Don't try anything stupid and make me angry. Come and eat your lunch" her mom said placing a plate in the dining table. 

"I already had in a restaurant with my friends, you eat, "  Vaishu said casually. 

" You have to inform me before so that I wouldn't have cooked for you and I am waiting here to have lunch with you," she said started eating her food. 

" Wait, I will give company for you", Vaishu said standing from her place and she sat beside her mother taking a spoon full of halwa placed in a bowl. She doesn't want to make her mother sad instead she wants to see her happy. After completing their lunch, they both spend some valid time. 

At college :

The next day morning, as usual college started. Anjali was slowly walking in the campus to her class. Suddenly, someone touched her shoulder, she turned to look who it is. Varun said hi while walking with her, she too greeted him smiling. Varun watched her, she was walking with her free hands hanging in the air without holding any books. He thought that she may have only two books in her bag since it is a very small bag. 

"Did everything fits in your small bag?" Varun asked her. She simply showed her full teeth and said," Who cares about that, it's enough for me. "

"Why did you joined in medicine? Do you like medicine or any other reason? ", Varun asked her trying to make conversation with her. 

" I like to torture people with needles and scissors, that's why I joined here. " Anjali said in her funny tone. 

Varun laughed at her and said," Why so much funny reply? "

" It's mixed in my blood, what to do. My parents want me to follow their footsteps by holding a doctoral degree. " Anjali said still showing her full teeth. 

" So, both of them are doctors?" Varun asked her nearing his classroom. 

"Yes, they are. What about you? I know you are a topper so I think you like medicine that much but is there any compulsion for you? " Anjali asked fastly since they don't have time to talk. 

" No. It's my decision and it's my dream. Okay bye, will see you later. " Varun said quickly entering his classroom. Anjali bid bye to him and went to her class. 

Monday morning is not a blissful word for all the students since they have to go to school /college after a holiday. Like that, Anjali was not in a mood to listen to the practical class and she was playing with her pen in the notepad drawing something. Vaishu noticed that and nudged her to listen but Anjali ignored her and started drawing.

Aadhi was deeply immersed in the subject so he didn't notice anything. Bala slightly glancing at them to know what she was doing. He gave her 'you will not change' look and started listening to the lecture. 

Suddenly professor noticed her and asked, " Anjali, what are you doing? Are you listening?" 

She suddenly flinched from her place and looked at him nodding her head and said, "Yes sir. I am listening. " 

"Oh really, then tell me what I am teaching now," he said moving towards her. 

She looked at the table and found some skeleton pieces spread over the table. She was scared and said," About bones sir. "

He gave her an annoying look and said," Even school students can say that it's about bones after seeing this. I asked you that which bone I was explaining particularly. " Bala was silently laughing at her and Aadhi was glaring at her. 

Anjali was thinking deeply and Vaishu showed her hand towards her that has written radius and ulna. Anjali thanked her in mind and said," It's radius and ulna bone sir. "

" Okay, where is it located in our body? " he asked. Anjali was cursing him in his mind. Again, she looked at Vaishu for help. She touched her lower arm to show her. Anjali didn't understand anything. Vaishu showed her arm without making the professor notice her. Anjali got the answer finally.

" It's lower arm sir" she said still confused whether the answer is correct or not.

"Hmm. What makes you take this much time? Listen carefully hereafter. " the professor said and started continuing his lecture. Anjali muttered sorry to her brother since he was showing daggers at her. Bala was controlling his laugh which made Anjali throw her pen towards him without making sir notice them. Bala simply caught that pen and showed his full teeth. 

After completing lunch, they headed to their class to have a theory class which was completely boring. Anjali started using her mobile carefully because she doesn't want to catch her brother this time. Suddenly Varun entered their class and he talked with the professor to ask him five minutes time for making an announcement. The professor accepted him and he stood in the center of the class to make everyone listen to him. 

"Guys, I'm from 3rd year and we have a project every year to complete with a whole class. So we decided to conduct a blood donation camp tomorrow in our conference hall. We will transfer those blood to the blood bank. You can give your names who will be willing. Try to make this as useful as you can. Who is the class representative here? " Varum said shouting to make everyone hear him. Varun and Anjali's eyes met a few times in between his conversation. 

Aadhi stood from his place to show him that he is the leader." Can you come with me outside the class so that we can't disturb the class anymore? Sir, can I take him for two minutes ", Varun asked. 

The professor immediately nodded his head and said," So there will be no class tomorrow? "

Varun smiled at him and said," No sir, after lunch we can have. HOD sir gave only half-day permission sir. " he nodded his head and they both moved outside. 

They both greeted them and Varun said," Ask them and give me a name list within today. I will give my mobile number. Tell them strictly that they can't back up after giving their name." Aadhi nodded his head and brought his mobile number and moved to class after bidding him bye. 

After the lecture over, Aadhi asked the students to raise their hands who are all willing and he also said about no backups. He then came to Anjali's row, she was drawing simply in her notebook without even raising her head. 

Vaishu and Rohini were raising their hands already, without saying anything he simply noted their names and went to another side. Almost 70 students have given their names out of 100. Few students asked time to conform with their parents. Aadhi gave the rough list to Varun and he thanked him in return. Varun searched through the names whether Anjali's name was written there, a smile formed on his lips after seeing her name on the list. 

Aadhi and his friends started moving to home while walking and talking in the corridor. 

"We will be free tomorrow. Wow, super, at least we can enjoy few hours. But Anjali, why didn't you give your name? We will have fun baby, you are going to miss that" Bala said moving forward. 

"I don't want to. I will enjoy it in the class itself. " Anjali said like not much interested in this conversation. 

" Who told you that her name was not on the list. I already wrote her name. " Aadhi said passing a sarcastic smile. After realizing what he said, Anjali suddenly jumped towards him from behind, started holding his shirt like shaking him and she started punching him in his back. 

" You Bangladesh Buffalo, who told you to add my name. I don't know how you will remove my name but you have to do," she said slapping him lightly which was like touching him. He removed her hand from his shirt and lightly he pushed her to the other said. 

" I won't. Do whatever you want" he said winking at her. That made her anger towards him and she asked, "I am 18+, you don't have any right to add my name without my consent. Remove it otherwise I will bite you." 

"Aadhi I told you already right, she is a mental case. We need to admit her before she bites anyone. " Bala said holding his stomach laughing which made everyone laugh at her. 

" It's not about 18+, we need parent's permission for that. I will ask ou... your parents to confirm that. Don't worry " Aadhi said laughing. 

" We will see Mr. Monkey," Anjali said knowing clearly that they will support him. They reached the gate and everyone bid bye to each other. Now, Aadhi is picking up Anjali since they convinced their friends that their house is near to each other. They reached their home and went inside silently. 

Dinner time came, everyone sat in the dining table. Anjali was looking here and there thinking how to start the conversation. 

Before her, Aadhi started, "Dad, there is a blood donation camp tomorrow. 80 students were given their name out of 100, but Anjali is telling me to ask your permission before giving her name. What's your opinion dad?" Anjali was glaring at him for making the plot opposite to her. 

"Dad, no, I don't want to give my blood. You know me very well that I hate needles. He purposefully gave my name to make me irritate dad. " Anjali said pouting her lips to make her father believe. 

" It's not a bad thing Anjali. Now you need to decide as a dutiful upcoming doctor. Till how many years you will hate needles pretty, next year you almost have to cut the frogs, rat, etc. What will you do then? Try from now on baby, don't be scared. Give your name. " her dad said making her almost sad. 

" Okay dad, I will follow everything you said but not the last line. I will try from next time. Sure dad " Anjali said gritting her teeth not to yell at her brother at this situation. 

" She won't change, either you give your name or I will call your Principal and give your name by myself. " her mom said blackmailing her. 

" I know very well that you will support him only. Why mom? At least support me for this thing. Please" Anjali said begging her and not in a mood to eat anything. 

"It's not that I don't support you, I will support you when I think that what you have done was correct. " her mom said eating her dinner. 

" Okay, do whatever you want. Fine, you all want me to irritate, right? Then do it. Bye", Anjali told and stood up from her place without eating anything, she went upstairs. 

"Oh god, what I am going to do with my daughter. At least give her milk after finishing your dinner. " Krishna said to his wife. She nodded her head. 

" Don't worry about her. We can't always protect her from falling, she needs to face everything on her own. You eat and sleep well, I will take care of her " Anu said. 

The day went off, Anjali drank one cup of milk which was offered by her mom and she accepted it because of her starving. Whatever happens, food is the only thing that will make us to ease our mood.
