"mom,plz can u let me live in some peace,let me sleep,5 more.."i protested pulling the blanket over my head.I shouted at the top of my voice as mom threw a tantrum in my room at sharp 7am..

Damn,she gives a tough competition to the alarm that ring beside my bed every morning annoying the shit out of me..

But all my protests went in vain as mom ignored each of my words..

"Wake up,you sleepyhead,don't you have college today ?no not even 5 more minutes, wake up now"mom said giving me death glares.

Actually I was gonna say 5 more hours...god ! Who cares...

Being fed up of the revolution,i finally woke up but unwilling to go to the shower i took my headest & went to the balcony to sit on the couch & obviously to restore the peace of my life snatched by both mom & the alarm clock..

I sat there watching how peacefully the waves kissed the sand.that is something really special about the sea facing houses of Goa. And then I wondered how things are enough messed up in my life.

Yes me Ananya Kaushik,the 19 year old girl who is already fed up with her life..a girl who nearly finds a thousand reasons daily to curse her fate,a girl who always manages to get late everywhere somehow, sometimes I feel like I'm blessed with the talent to get late,and yeah one more thing I find everything & everyone frustrating..

"I need to talk to you"mom said."go for it mom, who's gonna stop you from saying anything anyway"I said without looking at her..

Though I didn't look at her but still I could figure out from the corner of my eye how she was getting more frustrated with each passing second..

"Where he is gonna stay?" Mom asked looking at me..

My heart beat increased."I..I don't know"I said somehow."Ananya,I had told u last night he is coming today,how can u forget in such a short span "mom nearly shouted."why is he even coming mom? I dont get it,you know what mom, I'm not buying it,I don't want him to come here & stay with us,I can't stay with him in the same house"I lied..

"How can u be so rude? He is your good friend,I still remember how you guys used to play many games,back in your childhood days, I thought u liked him,I thought u will be happy to see him after so long"mom said..

"Mom,that was long ago ,we were kids,now we have grown up,we have different lifes, different life styles"I said..

I remember mom told me last night that Sanam will come today to stay with us.i was utterly shocked at first.why he ? After 7 years he is coming back to bring a storm in my life..why ? He hardly e-mailed me in these years..I thought he had forgotten about my existence.i was okay with it.i was happy to love someone from the distance.i had successfully convinced myself he will never be mine,he will never come to me again,I will never get to see him again,I will never confess my love to him..and now proving all my assumptions wrong he is coming back in my life..he must have become one of the most handsome guys on earth with supremely charming looks,he must be dating a girl now,but here I am still unable to decide what suits me most straight hair or curls !

I was okay with the fact that he will never love me,I don't know what on earth made me believe Sanam doesn't love me, but seeing such male awesomeness in front of me in love with someone else will hurt me a lot..

Mom clicked her fingers before me pulling me out of my imaginary world"you there ? Get ready you are getting late,and yeah clean your sister's bed" mom said.

I forgot to introduce her..my elder sister Anika now living in Mumbai for her MBA course.

"Why ?"I asked taking my clothes."Because Sanam's gonna stay here"mom said

My mouth fell open.i lost my voice.

"Since you didn't prepare room for him after telling u last night,this is the only way I have left,share your room with Sanam,since ur sister is also not here"mom explained & went out of the room leaving me awestruck.

I could feel my heart beating in my mouth.Sanam,in same room with me,I'll have to share the same room with him...
