PERFECT LIFE
"Akira… baby get up, don't you want to go & get your results" screams my mother. I get off my bed & I hear my cell phone ring. I go near it & it is flashing 'MAYU'. I pick up the call immediately. He says, "Akira wake up dude it's our results today". I know he is quite pissed at me so I start shouting at him instead, "Right, Mayu it's all my fault! You were supposed to remind of it last night but as usual you forgot." We kept arguing for 10- 20 minutes at least. But that is how we love to start our day. Before hanging up he told me that I had to reach his house in the next 15 minutes. Hearing that, I disconnected the call & rushed to the bathroom. I freshened up & again rushed down.
By the way I forgot to give my introduction…. I'm Akira Sangal, the daughter of the owners of the True India Foundation & a lawyer, Prithvi Sangal & Sanjana Roy Sangal. I stay with my parents & my mom's brother, Sunny Roy; I prefer calling him by his name as there is hardly a few years difference.
I reach at the dining table, take a quick gulp of my juice, take a toast, say bye to mom, dad& sunny & rush out. After a few minutes, I turn around & ring my doorbell. Apparently I forgot my car keys. As I start driving my phone rings again which automatically gets connected to my car through Bluetooth. It's undoubtedly Mayu. His voice felt like he is burning. I try calming him down but he just won't….so I just disconnected the call. I reach his place & ring the doorbell & Mayu's mom comes out. She invites me in.
Again I forgot to give you Mayu's introduction….He is my best friend, Mayank Shah (nick name MAYU). He is very studious & sweet too. But his parents Vinita Shah & Purushatra Shah are as sweet as sugar. I keep telling him that I'm his best friend because of his parents & that's exactly what he tells me.
I ask his dad who is having a sip of coffee, "Puru uncle, where is Mayu? ". His dad replies that he must be in his room. I rush to his room. I enter his room & I can't see anything except smoke. I panic & call his parents for help. They clean the smoke by opening the window & there is Mr Mayank Shah sitting down &reading a religious book. I scream in his ears saying, "We have to go panditji it's our time to get the fruits of our hard work."
Actually our parents are from India. They shifted to America a few years back. My & Mayu's parents are best friends just like the two of us.
We finally reach our high school. We rush to the notice board where the results are to be put. We were the first to arrive. We both felt deep down in our hearts that we had failed but then comes a shocking news, we both passed. But for ranks we had to wait till afternoon, our graduation time.
It's afternoon. I can see everyone; mom, dad, sunny, Puru uncle& Vinnie aunty, everyone I loved was there. Then our principal goes up to the podium to announce the ranks. He announces only the top five ranks. I & Mayank tightly hold hand tightly. Rank 5 was Lauren Fernandez, Rank 4 was Salmon Jackson, Rank 3 was Amy Jackson, and Rank 2 was Akira Sangal & Rank 1 was Mayank Shah. I hugged Mayank tightly. I saw him, he wasn't happy at all. When I asked him what's the matter? , he gave me the silliest reason that he is feeling sad for me that I came 2nd not 1st. I laughed & looked over to my parents. It was the same kind of situation there too. Uncle & aunty were feeling sad for me whereas my parents were happy for Mayank. I guess that's what best friends mean…be happy & celebrate for their happiness or be sad for their sadness.
We celebrated my& Mayu's graduation thoroughly. We both, since childhood, aspired to be lawyers just like our parents & had also given an application in America's best law college, California's College of law.
My life is simply perfect, a caring family, and an awesome best friend. I'm completely set in my life ahead….or am I?
