The Lost Life


“Again a new day of the unwanted life!”

Said I, while still on d bed with my blanket over my face.... This is my usual habit, I wake up in d morning, take my blanket over me, and curse d whole damn world for the troubles they had given me so far, and r going to give! Sometimes I really wonder did god made a user’s manual with me, which contained all the problems world is going to give me every day!

“Out of d bed in no time, or I’ll empty a whole bucket of water on u!”

That was my dad! He’s always so annoyed when it comes to me, so never mind...!

Though he do a lot for me, but still I think at times he regret all that he has done for me...

“Am awake dad! Coming!!”

I left d rum and went towards d washroom for a nice hot shower! I love it when a shower can make me feel like heaven! I wish I could be here for the rest of my life! (Don’t think of me as an insane please....I can do anything when it comes to happiness. Because that’s d thing which is in high deficiency in my life!)

“Out in next to no time, you’ll make me late again!”

He’s my bro....He’s 12…and the only problem in him is that he fucking annoys me every morning by his wish of reaching school before time! God knows what he wants to do there even before d staff comes!

“Will you just shut the hell up, and let me please!”

I said annoyingly!

“Mum, sissy isn’t coming out!” ugghh jerk!

“Come out before long, girl! You’ll make my son late again!”

She’s my mum....I don’t wanted to mention her here, but when it comes to my trouble-makers, she’s on d top!

“Hell!” She thinks am having party here inside! And what’s this crap of getting late! God! It’s still 45 min left for d school to start! And what d hell is this ‘my son’! As if I came from a bin! Well! Not from a bin of course, but not from her either!

Okay! Now that’s d biggest secret of my life! I am adopted…. They told me on my 15th birthday… even though they didn’t mention from where they brought me, I know not from a bin at least! They dun care of letting me know whose sin am I, because they dun want me to go back to my not-wanting-me parents! God! It’s not better here also!

Anyway, moving further….

My virtual kidnap

“St Edmund’s, a hi-tech school!”

I read along as I entered d main entrance of my school...!

Now that is my place of pleasure… though I hate that hi-tech suffix! One thing is true! My school is so damn good in blowing their own horn! Like, fine! You’re having a hi-tech facility at school, but that’s nothing to brag about right! At least not when that hi-tech facility is being used by mosquitoes and pests for making their houses! But whatever it is.... I simply love my school! I had my happiest as well as worst moments here! It’s not that this is a place where am full of delight! There are pests here also to get life out of me, but den too I have my love of life as well here!! J

“yo baby!!” I heard a scream and felt a hard stroke on my shoulder

breaking me from my thoughts!

“Jesus! That hurts…!” I said in pain though a smile peeped out on my lips in pleasure of seeing her!

That’s reva! One member of my lively group!

My group!!!

Reva Malhotra, Ruhi Thawrani, Saisha Sharma and Gurpreet Kaur and of course me, Amber Arora…. J

“Hey sweetie! How’s life!” asked I, gosh! That really did hurt!

“Awesome, blossom, u say....Are your parents still mad on that!” she said with a giggle! Yeah I know what she’s talking about! That New Year disaster of course!

Oh wait! I haven’t told you about that right! That was a heck really!

FLASHBACK!!! 2 DAYZ PAST!

“What d hell, who’s shouting like that early morning or its still night I guess!” I said while looking at d sky outside! It was still dark, though its 6 in d morning…

I slipped into d balcony as its door opens in my rum....Thank god, mum dad’s still asleep!

“Morning ambi! Happy new year pie!” ruhi broke my half sleep…

Holy shit! What d hell r they doing here! I saw reva and ruhi with ruhi’s car standing outside my house in almost morning or I should say almost night....whatever! But, r they kicked from their houses that they came to spend d rest of d night at my place…or....They needed sum sleeping pills or something like that…crap amber! Can’t u think of something other than sleep…such a lazy bump u r...my inner voice nearly shouted at me...I hate that voice really how can it say me lazy! Actually, d reason of hating it is that it’s always true! Like c’mon! How can someone say truth always...!! Oh wait! It’s New Year….

“Morning guys, same to you but…...” I tried to get dose thoughts out of my mouth when reva interrupted me….

“Now come down soon, we’re going to have a blast this first day of New Year…!”

Her words nearly stunned me…

what she just said….dude!!!!! It’s night like c’mon!!! U can’t celebrate New Year when its night right!!!!

This thought was really killing me that they r breaking my night’s sleep...!!! Idiots!

“Guys I guess your drunk! So Just get d hell out of here and go get a life, oh sorry, correction, go get a sleep” y I am so after sleep!!! I guess my that inner voice was true I am really a lazy bump!!

I nearly shouted on them, and turned to get back to my blanky who was crying to be with me...oh god my bed loves me so much…

I was entering my room Just when ruhi screamed….

“Get down u lazy bear, or I’ll seriously come up and pick u from there!”

“fine!” said I in annoyance… not that I really wanted to go with them, leaving my blanky and bed alone…it’s Just that I was afraid she’ll come upstairs and create a heck for me early morning… though, I really wonder from where she got d courage of saying that she’ll pick me up!!! Like dude!!! She is so skinny that she looks like a skeleton with clothes in front of me…it’s not that m so fat or something like that, but at least I have a outline baby….can u even lift my clothes alone. I guess you’ll need a stretcher them! K

I swear guys, when I when down I had an idea that I’ll make them realize that night is made for sleeping and will tell them to come in d morning...What!! Common! 6 am is not morning!!Not for me at least ….but as soon as I opened d main door, I was literally dragged inside d car by reva…

“Damn it guys! Are you in your senses!!!” I said partially shocked, partially confused and a lot mad at them!

“Just shut up ambi, and sit…v r going to have a blast today” said ruhi while driving…

“Guys, Just to remind u I am not at all, like seriously not at ol ready for a party” I said looking at myself…I was wearing a white tank top, denim shorts and because it was quite chilly outside, so I took a black cardigan before going down which came till my shorts and nearly covered them…though hairs were at its best! I don’t know, when I wake up at d morning, my hairs are like I Just got a spa, and when I need to go somewhere, gosh! A bird’s nest is better!!

Anyways, I was so bed time dressed, and they think v can go party!!!! I guess these girls are really drunk!!

“Vil u lock up ur mouth or I’ll punch u really hard” said reva annoyed for d frst time in dis whole drama so far…

I was sittin quietly when suddenly a thought stroked my mind..

“Jesus Christ! Guyz, I hav’nt tld my parents…turn d car ruhi, lyk nw!!!! I need to tell dem, they’ll kill me..god please!!!” I nearly begged! Damn dem! God, r they really my frnz!!!!!!!!!!!!

“vil get u back home evn before they’ll wake up ambi..so stop nagging lyk a kid okay!” thatz ruhi again!!

“Noways…get me home now, or I’ll jump out” and as I said dis, ruhi really pushed me out of the car…I was hanging half outside en half inside! Hell, dese girlz really wnt to kill me…

“What d fuck..kill me u swine!” I yelled while managing to get inside safely again!

“what!!!! u Just said, u’ll jump..so I was makin it simple fr u..thatz it..” reva said as calmly as she culd….great!! kill me nearly, en den behave as if nthin happened!! Live!!!

Aftr almst 10 mins, when I became nrml, I opened my mouth again! Nw thatz my biggest weakness…I cn nva freakin stay quiet.. alwyz need to say one thing or d other..

“god guyz, u Just kidnapped me!!! Congo for ur frst crime” I said vth giggle..that was d frst giggle I guess because till nw I was shouting….shouting….and umm, I guess, shouting……

They hardly paid any attention…I guess they r so busy planning my death!

“Just to remind you guys, unfortunately am still here, and you can tell me where the hell are you taking me, please!”

“Noways, it’s a surprise sweetheart..!” ruhi answered…

“See guyz, frankly speakin, em in no mood for a rape, so just drop that idea okay!” I said vth a giggle, though in a taunting way! Gosh! I just luv to taunt! J

“Well, v wer really nt upto that, bt den if u r so eager fr that, v cn call krrish up vth his frnz, to give you a gud time I guess!” she said vth a wide laugh!

what was so funny to laugh so loudly! It was’nt that gud..Was it?

“Whateva!” I said frowning…

Krrish Sharma…He is d bad ass of our school! He’s nt nly that, he is...He is…I cnt evn explain in wrds what a swine he is….!

I too falled for him once…lyk u can hav an idea nw what a jerk he is, when a girl vth brains lyk me, too falled fr him..! bt that was Just fr a week or something…bt den I got my brains back! :P

Nywyz, bck to d topic!

Where the hell am I going!!!!

Cold as hell lake!!

“I guess I kind of know this place.” Yeah, I do know this place.

Holy shit!! It is that little lake near outstretch of the city!

Yeah right! It is that only, I remember!

“What are we doing here reva? Giving company to fishes eh?” duh!

“Kind of!” Reva you were not serious when you said this, right!

“Actually, we were planning to have, like, you know, kind of little fun in the water…” ruhi said, hesitantly…

What the hell are these guys thinking of, can someone tell me please!!

“Am hell lot of irritated now, out with it reva!” I chose reva, because she is damn easy to get the things out! And when I say damn easy, I mean it. You just need puppy dog eyes, and a pouted face, and here you go! She is out with it…

Gosh reva! Your parents will be so lucky, to know about your boyfriends so easily just with two little things…

“Umm, ambi, actually, your guess was quite right…That giving company to fishes thing, umm, it’s kind of that…”

“Oh, guys, of course we will do that, I mean, sitting on the shore, and accompanying fishes by feeding them! Sounds like a good idea!” I said, while standing on the shore… That lake really shinned like anything, and when those sun rays touches the little droplets, I can bet even pearls would feel shy. Our nature’s so beautiful, even though people run before humans…strange!

“whhooaaaa” You know what! When I was so damn busy admiring our mother earth, these girls, oh sorry, devils seriously pushed me inside that lake. Correction, that bloody cold as Hell Lake! God didn’t you paid any attention towards the attendance when you were distributing brains! They were never present you know that!

“Curse you bitches! Have you, like really lost your brains or something???” I shouted at them again!

What a day! First kidnapped, nearly pushed out of a moving car, and now, freezing in a cold water lake in a month like December! My life was really written in a drunken state, and that’s the reason it’s so complicated.

“Look here guys, it’s a golden sword here!” I sounded as amazed and shocked as I could! You don’t know my plan sweethearts…

“Where, what?” oh, reva, you’re so easy to be fooled! :p

“Right here!” I said; as I dragged both of them inside the lake to accompany me! Of course not! For the sake of revenge dumb!

“Holy shit amber! Got your brains freezed eh?” look who’s talking! The great Reva Malhotra is talking about brains. Dude! Ever heard of the word decency? You better update your vocabulary!

“No sugar! I just got my brains working!” I said calmly. I should get an award, for being so calm at such a state where am almost kidnapped, drowning in a cold as hell lake in a month like December and I can sound as calm as I know it’s a dream and will get over soon! Duh!

We were insanely playing in that of course not to forget ‘cold as hell lake’ when something stroked my mind…

“Dude! We’re all wet!” okay! I realized so early! Ugh!

“You sure ambi? Because, I thought water never makes you wet! Grow up sweetie!” yeah fine ruhi! I know that was a silly one, don’t taunt at least!

“Let’s get out guys, or else we’ll catch cold.” Ever first logical line from reva. Live!

Me? Mommy Monkey!!

“We need clothes guys!” said I, to which I got d funniest ever answer from ruhi...Like seriously...Funniest ever? Duh!

“No need ambi, we have leaves around here, let’s get some jinghalala hoo outfit?” wow! Sarcastic enough?

“Stop trying to be sarcastic when you suck at it ruhi!” was the only line I could split out ,fter that head-breaking sarcasm.

“Let’s get outof here soon guys, we are alone here and it’s getting scary too.” Yes of course am scared. The place is haunting me like anything, I mean, that light-light darkness, loads of trees, chilling lake, sounds of birds and bats…Its is haunting, like common!

“Right ambi…Ruhi let’s get back to the car.”

When we reached the car, I was the first one to jump inside it. What? I was missing my blanky guys. :P HELO I AM GOAST

“Why the hell it isn’t starting ruhi?” wait, did someone said anything?

“What did you just said reva?” Asked I. I was too lost to pay attention.

“I said, the car isn’t starting sleeping beauty.” Oh okay, just that.

Wait, What? The car isn’t starting? Like seriously?

“What do you mean to say, like are we stuck in this ‘end of the jungle’ kind of place? Oh my god! Now we will grow up here only. My parents will search for me for days, and then they will take this thing that I am dead. And then we will really wear these leaves? And then we have to swing like tarzan on trees? Will some Gorilla mother adopt us too? Then I have to marry a monkey? Oh my gosh! How will he propose me, and on top of that how will I understand did he just proposed me or cursed me? What about my kids? Will I have a mixture of human and monkey? Well then, that Stone Age will return right? Evolution? Wow! We will be able to see early man in this time as well! But that wouldn’t be cool right?..”

I was about to continue my nightmare just when reva interrupted me!

“Cool down momma monkey! Breathe! Please!! Whoa!! You just said that whole lot of a thing in a single breath! I just can’t control my laughter! What did you said? Proposed by a monkey! God, you dream so well? Aren’t you smiling while sleeping? Yeah you do smile. Now I got the reason! But you just smile on such melodramatic dreams? I would be laughing holding my tummy the whole night, and that to while sleeping!”

She said with a wide laugh. Common reva! Don’t be the ‘bitch that taunt always’ kind of a girl please! Fine! That was a bit too far, but dude! I am a girl; I can be theatrical at times. Though I don’t behave like girls, the way they are, typical bimbos, but unfortunately, Jesus made me a girl and there are some qualities. By the way, did I went like really too far? I mean, ugh okay! Accepted!

“Oh just shut up reva! I didn’t go too far okay. It’s just that I got panic a bit, which made me think like that and that’s it.Don’t be so rude with a small kitten.” Said I, frowning.

“Kitten? Like seriously ambi? Grow up ‘zoo-loving’ kiddy! First monkey then kitten? Like what are you? 8?” reva insulted me. Ouch! That hurts!

“Go kill each other wild cats!” whoa! Ruhi, was that you? Like really? You know what is anger? Say true girl? Okay, enough of sarcasm!

“What ruhi, we were just having a normal conversation.” No reva you are wrong! That wasn’t normal child.

“Will you stop this shitty annoying conversation, and let me focus please. Reva! What are you up to? Want to be a lawyer? Stop arguing like a kid okay! And amber, you were the one who was so eager to reach home right? What happened? Don’t want to go now? If yes, then just shut your mouth and help me fix this car…” and there when I cutted ruhi.

“But I don’t know how to…”

“Shhh! Girl, let me complete, if you can’t help then just do a favor, shut up!” whoa! That pushed me down ruhi. You know how to scold? Was that a dream? Like, ruhi thawrani, the ‘always-giggling’ girl can scold too! Now that was a breaking news I must say…

“Okie dokie!” said I, bit annoyed. Only I wasn’t the one who was fighting, she didn’t say anything to reva.huh!

“And reva! Lost your brains or something? What were you loosing if she was dreaming some kind of a shitty theatrical thing? Can’t you just mind your own business?” Whoa ruhi! Who’s a true friend? Who know what’s going on in your mind! Though, I hated that ‘shitty theatrical thing’ huh!

“Fine! Do what you were doing.” Said reva.

Ruhi said the car needs some water, so we searched for water in that haunted jungle. Sunrise was taking over…I guess its 7:30…

The grey begins to fade,

As colour creeps from leaf to limb.

The light is slowly seeping up,

From beneath the earth’s curved rim.

The sky blue strengthens slowly,

Glazed with hues of orange and red.

Slowly as the earth revolves,

The sun lifts up it’s head.

Colours shimmer in the light

And shapes begin to unveil.

The trees and flowers separate,

With the dawn light rosy and pale.

The sun climbs higher in the sky.

It’s light shimmering and warm.

All things now are clearly seen.

A new day has been born.

The yellow shining sun started rising from the ground. It filled the sky with mighty colors of red and splashed the clouds with endless rays of pink. It was bright and mesmerizing. About twenty minutes later, the sunrise had become even more beautiful as the sun peeked over the horizon. The sky had now become pink like a sea of cotton candy, with the light of the sun coloring the clouds above with a pinkish hue. As the sun slowly ascended, the sky in the west became a deep neon blue as the light reached further out. Overall, this was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen.

Going a bit ahead, we saw a black SUV! Seriously? A SUV!

“OMFG! These monkeys develop really fast ya! A SUV! Not bad.” Said I, this time giggling. What? I do a lot except shouting you know.

“Oh yeah amber, Now I guess we should just got to your future hubby, ask for some help, in case he knows how to repair a car.” Why are you so annoying at time reva?

“Whatever.” Said I rolling my eyes. Fly off hatred!

Meet the most lovable person!! :*

I was so lost to pay attention to anything around me. I was just walking with hands in my pocket feeling the morning breeze. Everything is so calm! But wait, have you heard of that phrase, Silence before disaster?

“What the hell, who…” I wasn’t even allowed to complete a single sentence, when a hand covered my face, and a black cloth covered my eyes. Life cannot be more miserable. Can it? That hand is of a guy, I can guess that. Then why is it smelling so good? Who uses perfume on hands, man? When I was on the edge of being dragged inside the car, I recognized, the guy whose mind rarely works and is so dumb to use perfume on hands. He says, after holding hands with him, girls should have some memory of his smell. Yank!

I somehow managed to remove his hand from my face which was really smelling good, no wonder girls go crazy after him. Shut up ambi and focus!

“Tarun! Freaking hell! Leave me you swine, now! What are you up to guy? Kidnap me and feed me to some animals just because I said your perfume thing is a total flop?” I shouted on my nerves. Though I lied, his perfume thing just worked on me. *silent giggle* focus bitch!

“Oh sweetypie! You guessed so right! How do you do it?” said he flattering.

“Do what?” what??

“Acting like a CBI officer who can even see with eyes covered with a cloth!” duh!

“Shut the hell up guy, and leave me!”

“You’re not so luck love, so just shut up and get inside the car.” So, that SUV was his? Crap memory! I would have guessed that time only, that tarun has a SUV and if he is here, I surely am gonna face a serious prank!

“You’re kidnapping me you idiot! I’ll send cops behind you I swear!”

“That’s not kidnapping dumb girl! That’s taking away with care.” He said giggling. All men are jerks I tell you.

“Whatever! Care telling where are you ‘taking me with care’!” asked I.

“Surprise is a word not found in dictionary of fools like you.” Sarcastic is just not the way you are Tarun. Don’t try!

By the way, hey people there, meet the most annoying yet adorable guy of my life, tarun. He is….umm..he is…..God! can there be a single time when I try to name our relation and you send something to my head? Well, he laughs with me like my best buddy, cares for me like my family, protects me like my big bro, teaches me like a teacher, supports me like an elder and many more relations just can’t name. Summary of my world. But, but not showing too much love, he irritates me with his childish acts, annoys me with his never ending tonts, bring the hell out of me with his daptrap pranks. Yet, I love him for all that he was, all that he is, and all that he ought to be.

By the way, getting back to the topic,

“Sweetheart, just open my eyes at least, I beg you!” I said the last three words with all the frustration I had for him so far.

“Am so sorry ambi, but I just don’t want to ruin the surprise, plus the world outside is so beautiful to meet your ugly eyes.” He said chuckling. God! Why the hell he has to be so sweet and so difficult at the same time.

“GTH!” was all I could spit out! What? He can’t insult me on my face like that. By the way, GTH stands for Go To Hell, in case you all don’t know. These are our short forms.

“Go To Heaven? I will but with you doll!” seriously, I was right when I said, all men are jerk!

What the hell life wants from me? Two kidnaps a day? I hope you’re not drunk divine! Trying some mafia acts on me? See, am so not going to join any bunch of mobs, keep that in mind goddy!
