LOVE JOURNEY

Finally, I am out of the hell hole called home. I can live my life as I want and not as it belongs to my so-called parents. As much as I love them, I can never approve of their ways of parenting. Even though I had known this for years and wanted to leave, but couldn't since I lacked resources and a job that could help pay my bills. So, when I finally saved enough and got a job that would pay for my needs until the time I want to be here, I left my childhood town and shifted to Mumbai. Mumbai might be the city of dreams for everyone else; for me, it's where I could be myself without having to think about how my parents are going to react. A place where I know what others would think of me or how they would judge me wouldn't matter to me, at least not more than what I want. Ohh! By the way, my name is Vibha and I am still standing at Bandra Station, Mumbai, waiting for my i***t of a best friend to pick me up and show me the place that he decided would be best for my budget and locality both wise. Right then, something hit my head on the back, and I knew in an instant it was that i***t of a best friend of mine grinning from ear to ear there who had finally found me here with my luggage. Yes! He is happier than me for finally having me shift here all because now I would be able to be his wing-woman for all his flings and crushes and whatnot. Vishal hugged me and asked me if I wanted to eat first or go to the place that I would call home from now on. I chose to go home and cook a decent meal, which would be pasta, and we would buy the ingredients on the way home. As soon as I enter the place, I dump my luggage aside and take a tour of the place and turn around to give that i***t a thank-you hug for choosing the perfect place for me to call home, even though it will still need some changes, especially the decor-wise, but other than that, It was perfect just like I would have wanted my home to be. After cooking and having our lunch, we start unpacking. Yes! We, he is helping me by saying that it would be easier and faster. By the time we are done, it's already evening and close to dinner time, so we freshen up and head out on the streets to have something from a street shop. We have loads of fun, so much so that I forgot to call my parents and got a "where the hell are you and what are you doing call from them". As if they care about how I am doing (eye-roll), all they care about is that I don't destroy their so-called reputation and the money they have spent on me to date. We called it a night at around 10:30 pm, being tired from traveling and unpacking, and headed towards my home, where he picked up his bike and headed towards his own home, where his mom was waiting for him. Lying on the mattress, I was thinking about what to do for the next 2 days as my job starts after that and the best part is, it's the kind of job I always wanted. I can work from anywhere I like until I finish my work on or before deadlines. Finally, I fell into a dreamless sleep smiling at myself for reaching this far and determined to fulfill all of my dreams on my own.
