Next day, the morning was not so pleasing because my sleep was disturbed by the sunlight as my window is towards the east so when the sun rises, the sunlight directly come in the room so the blinds had to be on. But today, someone must had put the blinds off one side that's why the sunlight came directly on my face and disturbed my sleep so I put a pillow on my face to cover it but soon I wasn't able to breathe so I put it off and the sunlight was again coming so I had to get up.

After having breakfast in the kitchen, sitting on the platform like always, talking with my elder sister and in a very sad tone I said to her, 'that it's been two days Sophia and Aisha went back to Delhi and last night Meera to went back'. Today's day is so slow or I am I don't know but I feel something strange about today and what is that don't know?

Mom called me, Surie! Where are you? I came out from the kitchen and asked, 'what happened'? She said, 'Sophia's call and handed the phone to me. I said, 'hey! How's you'? She asked, 'what about your result'? I politely said, 'next week my dear'. She said shockingly, 'No! It's today only! Better you check out'? I reassured her and said, 'you're mistaken I check day before yesterday and they said after a week'. She said. 'True! But they changed it and declared today, go and check out and she hung the phone'.

I ran to reach where the computer was. I sat on the computer and opened the google search and found the website it said to type name and seat no so I typed my name and the seat no. A35744 and prayed to god before the result flashes on the monitor. What comes up right front of my eyes I couldn't believe on it? I petrified seeing it. My hands and feet started to be numb and I wasn't able to move an inch from where I was standing.

I left the computer on and ran towards my room and started crying. Mom asked me, 'What happened Surie'? 'Why you are crying like hell'? I didn't utter a single word and kept crying, she left the room and asked to elder sister, did you said something to her'? Why she's crying? They both went to see what I saw? They both were astonished to see the result which in capitals says, FAILED!

They both were petrified and didn't have any consolation words to console me so they left me crying.

I was totally devastated, locked myself in the room and kept crying and thinking, 'I already warned everyone but none listened to me'. 'I again broke them into pieces'. 'Why god, why'? You always do this to me? I thought and cried more 'now what will mom and dad say to others'? How'll they be able to face all the relatives? I am such a curse for them and good-for-nothing too. I felt like to end up my life but I wasn't able to so I remain crying, crying and crying.

The following night, the doorbell rang and mom opened the door. My brother asked to mom, 'Where is Surie'? And he looked for me but didn't found. He asked mom, 'Where is Surie'? Mom was too afraid to tell him where I am because she knows he'll gonna scold me and for sure. He frustratingly asked mom, 'Will you break your silence, today'? She finally broke her silence and said 'Surie is in her room, locked herself, didn't ate anything'. He knocked my room door and asked me to open the door? I was afraid to open the door but he kept knocking. So, finally I got up and opened the door. When I opened the door I found him smiling, holding 'jalebis' in his right hand and asking to me to have it and asked in concern, why you are crying? Is it tears of joy'? I asked him to leave the room. He asked puzzlingly, why? I said in a really sad tone, don't you know I again failed? He laughed on me and said, 'you passed with distinction'. I said, please stop kidding me and leave me alone, I'm already tensed. He asked me, your hall ticket number is A15678? I thought for a moment and said, hang on a minute and ran towards the room where computer is. Once again I on the computer and internet too, typed my name and hall ticket number, waited for a second and saw it's showing ERROR! CONNECTION FAILED! RETRY! I hit the keyboard with my open hands and said, DAMN! At last, I saw it started buffering. All this time it was buffering it was testing my patience. It finally came to 90% and as it was increasing my heart was beating profusely for once I felt that it will burst out of my chest........at last the screen appeared before my eyes---I passed! And not only just passed but passed with distinction!

I was paused there for a moment. My brother shook me and asked what happened? I laughed and told him that before I typed my last year's hall ticket number and that's why I thought that I failed. But now I am too happy that words can't even describe. All of my family was also too happy. I started running around the house screaming hurray! I did it. I jumped on the sofa so much that I thought that it's a trampoline. I jumped so high that I thought that I'll crack the ceiling or rather my head. But, I don't care because I was too happy and I wanted to show the world that yes! I did it. I 'Surie malhotra' did it. I danced all around the house with my mom, bro and sis and everybody. They all were also too happy after so many time they saw the real me not the gloomy sad me but the jolly and happy me. I wanted to party so I started singing songs like 'I wanna stay up all night and jump around until we see the sun. I wanna stay up all night, yeah!' and songs like 'aaj mein upar aasman neeche aaj mein aage zamana hai peeche'. I was too happy and in the meanwhile of all this happiness my father came and I controlled myself and very soberly said 'dad! I passed with distinction". My father said 'see! I told you that you can do this". I said yes and went and hugged him. I can see the happiness in his eyes.
