Author's Pov

Somewhere in north delhi a very beautiful clumsy girl rushing here & there in her room to get ready on time, her anxiety is at peak and mind is jam packed with several thoughts. Hurriedly she got ready in a jeans and kurti making high messy pony out of her tresses, wore her wrist watch, she sprinted out of her room, mummy please tiffin de do I am getting super late, she yelled while coming down from stairs, her mother shaked her head with done face(she knows her daughter is already ready before time it's just her anxiety),shipra careful you will twist your ankle in this speed her mother yelled,ahh a mummy please aaj mat danto na shipra pleaded,ok ok here keep it in your bag properly and don't you dare step out before having breakfast(warned her mother while handling her tiffin box).

Mummy please na you know I can't eat when I am nervous,I ll surely eat lunch on time please let me go (whined shipra)

Shipra (came stern voice of her father)

Hanji papa(shipra replied nervously)

HI (she said cheerfuly)
