Yesterday was some tiring day…. Once done at work , sis called me to take her to the book bank. I guess only for name sake, she’s a member, she doesn’t know any formalities or amount or forms or anything that she has to do to get the books for her next semester. I tried to avoid accompanying for a whole week, and this week she wont listen. She started throwing tantrums and finally I had to bend my head before “Her Highness”.Just when I asked her to get the bike to the bus stop, from where I could ride the bike and take her to the book bank, I came to know the bike had NO petrol. It was just two days ago, when I had filled its tank. I got really pissed off for people at home just using the bike, whereas the servicing and all such work has to be done by me. She had to push the bike till the station, where I was waiting. The waiting was horrible, all the while I was thinking, how and what to scold and whom to blame. Finally, when i saw her puffing with the bike, I cooled myself and thought not to start shouting at her. We later took the bike and left for the book bank, where we had to return books, pay for them and then fill a form. I just thought how lucky she is to get an elder sister, who does all her work, starting from picking her up till lifting her bag full of books. Wish I had one elder sis too
. I wasn’t even lucky enough to be a member in a book bank. coz my dad thought its just a waste of money. I had my whole cupboard full of photocopies and me stapling each of them and arranging them all by myself. Sometimes I used to get nightmares seeing the cupboard. Whereas ”Her Highness” a.k.a my sis never had to do that. She has all the luxury she needs. Reason, She knows how to throw tantrums.
Once we reached the bank, it took almost an hour for us to get the books due to heavy rush. During the wait, I remembered all the moments that happened last year same time. I was so excited sitting at the book bank and talking to ‘S’
Once done we came out to the parking area, and guess what..!! Since it was night, I could see that the back tyre had some liquid all over it. The anger that I had controlled and patted back to sleep, woke up and I yelled at some dog for doing this to my bike. I hated it. And all the way kept scolding a dog. I could smell petrol all the way, and suddenly the Bike STOPPED! Grrr…
I took it out from under the bridge where we were driving and pulled the bike to one corner of the road. It was little late to return home. I parked it and tried to start it again. When i came to the other side, I saw that it wasnt any dog, it was the petrol pipe. It had started leaking long back, and we didn’t even realise it. HH came to rescue, she volunteered to push the bike till we reached a mechanic. Soon a couple saw the only girls on the road and showed us the way to the mechanic shop. That’s one of the reason why I love this place so much. People voluntarily help!
The mechanic had to open the whole bike to find out the reason. He knew it was getting late for girls to return back home. He promised us to finish the work sooner so that it doesnt delay further. It was really tiring to sit on the steps of the mechanic shop after work (driving included). Finally he did it!
BTW, in between I had a petty fight with ‘S’
Sorry.!! and even ignored talking to dad. He’s never there when i need him. Are all the dads in the world that busy???
Returning back, I took out all my anger on HH. Poor she, she had to bear me all the way.. I wonder if she was even listening… Once we reached home, although I was ready as always to get all the taunts from everybody at home, I got it yesterday also… sigh… :-(
Was totally pissed off with everything yesterday.. Finally a good night wish I was longing for… and sleep..!!! :)
