There goes my life

Annual function

Fausia loves to live in her dreamland with novels around her and her diary to write new stuff like poems and little stories, she always tells her mom that she will be a writer when she’ll grow up, and everyone saw that coming coz she was good at that!! As much as she likes to read she likes to dream too, but sometimes her dreams were dreadful leaving her sleepless for weeks! She was a quiet child who never says much, never demand much! She liked to be alone most of the time. She didn’t have any friend as a child and spend most of her childhood in dark being alone and scared, she become shy and unconfident about herself and people around her start thinking that she was stupid and dumb. Well, she didn’t want that for her, she just never get a chance to truly show herself to the world. She keeps waiting for the one moment to come when she will be able to express her true self to the world but it never came….. Growing up she starts realizing that it will never come to her she has to make it! Earn it! And just live freely and it was after that when she decided to take a part in a small school play. Everyone in her family and at school was amazed knowing to this and thought she might not perform well. She practiced her role a lot and learned every line every word with the proper accent. Though it was her first time that she was performing anything and that to will be in front of the whole school, she was not nervous about it at all, she just wants to enjoy it and live in the moment.

(On the day of the performance, at home.7 am)

Fausia- daddy!! Come on fast I don’t want to be late for school today I have to be there on time, I have so much to do before the performance!

Daddy- god! I know! Wait a second I am coming.

(all the way to school she keeps talking. Telling her father how excited she is and that she just can’t wait to go on the stage and perform. Seeing her excitement level her father told her)

Daddy- well I know you are going to be very good tonight but I just want you to know that no matter how you perform there, good or bad or worst you’ll always be the star to me and I want you to remember this forever!

Fausia- thanks soo much daddy this means a lot to me. (She hugs her father and goes inside the school) 

Daddy- (shouting) I’ll come before the performance to capture you!

Please don’t daddy you’ll embarrass me!! 

(At school)

Teacher- finally you are here where were you! You are so late! Anyway just don’t tell me! Just go there do the final practice and come back to get ready.

Fausia- yes ma’am!

(She practices her role for the final time and all the other characters were shocked by seeing the level of confidence in her. After practicing she starts getting ready)

Fausia- where are we supposed to change?

Another girl- here only there is no changing room here.

What are you serious! Here in front of all?

Yes, what’s wrong in that we are all girls here! Don’t be so shy just change or else you’ll be the last one getting her touch up! And believe me, you don’t want that.

Oh! Ok. (Well as I already told you that she never had friends and was shy so it’s was a lot difficult to change in front of so many girls but yet she somehow collected the courage, telling herself that it’s now or never. Then she goes for the touch-up and guess what she was the last one to enter, so now she has to wait for all to get done)

That other girl- told you to be quick now you got to wait.

Fausia- that’s fine by me. (And she smiles)

(She set just next to the makeup artist to see what he is doing with those brushes on the girls’ faces. She was so excited for her turn coz she has never done any makeup she keeps disturbing the artist and she had a big hand in destroying two of her crew members makeup so the artist decided to do her makeup first so that she can leave him alone. Well her makeup was done on perfect time, though she didn’t like what the artist did to her face she felt like a witch! Moments later her father kept his words and came back stage to capture her and she was so embarrassed at that moment she wanted him to be quick at what he was doing and just go. But being her father he makes sure he took his time. 15 minutes later they were called to perform. She was finally on stage standing behind the curtain with all the lights focused on her, her heart rate rises but still she was not afraid or nervous but excited and wanted that curtain to open quickly so that she can show how good she is and that yes she is capable to do more and better and bigger, and the curtain open! Her performance left everyone mesmerized. She performed so well that it didn’t even occur to the audience that she is performing for the first time. Backstage all the teachers cheer her and congrats her for performing do well. She was surprised too by her performance)

She proved everyone wrong and performed so well, she just nailed it!!! Well we all know after performing well in a school play people starts getting popular and same happened in her case, she continued to take part in more school plays. Teachers started pointing her, promoting her to do more and she started opening up and making friends. Meanwhile she made many friends but there was one who she calls her best friend, simran, she is a fearless, extrovert girl and played a very important role in Fausia’s life. It is coz of her Fausia learned how to express herself without thinking what other will say or thinks about her or that if she is even right or not. People around her started knowing her she was now developing her identity, her place in the society. Now being busy with friends and her new life full of excitement she didn’t stopped reading or writing stuff until one day.
