Caged by the boundaries

Me: Hello everyone I'm here with another short story .Hope you will like it.

The girl named Sunny used to a be cheerful and outgoing. She created her own boundaries. Boundaries that prevented her from addiction. Addiction of reading and imagination. A world of her own dreams was kept closed from the others.

She was a perfect girl with inborn talents. A perfect example of "born with silver spoon". She was good in dancing, drawing and studies as well. She kept herself away from everything which will prevent her from getting involved . But who knows what might be she like without her boundaries.

Boundaries made around her for the sake of others made her feel like caged bird. A bird who can spread her wings inside the cage but can't fly freely as she want.

As she was getting older and older her insecurities started reaching its peak. Everyone started having high hopes from her. Insecurities that she will be able to meet their hopes or not, took over her mind. This resulted in losing self-confidence and faith in herself.

Sunny started getting various thoughts.

Sunny:

"Am i really good enough? My parents and teachers are expecting so many things but still I'm not able to meet their expectations."

Mom:

"My dear sweet sunshine , have you done with your studies?"

Sunny:

"Yes mother! I just completed my home work."

Mom:

"And what about self-study?"

Sunny:

" I.. I will study after sometime."

Mom:

"Huh? why ? Do it now!"

Sunny:

"But mom i want to draw for sometime .My drawing is getting worst day by day."

Mom:

"Ok"

Dad:

"Sunny dear, you should draw in free time .Now academic year has start so focus on your studies rather than drawing."

In sad and upset tone

Sunny:

"Ok"😔

#Its no use in telling them.i need to start studying again.But I'm tired of this. i want to brush up my hobbies.Aaggh😫#

Sunny started studying again.Day by day she lost her interest in studies, even in her favourite subject.

Soon a great pressure was developed on her head. A pressure to fulfil all her responsibilities.

In her school

Teacher 1:

"Sunny! have you solved the questions that i gave in my last lecture ?"

In hesitating tone

Sunny:

"Ye .....yes ma'am"😅

Teacher 1:

"Good ! So this are few more questions , can you solve and give it to me within 3 days period?"😊

Teacher asked with smile on her face .

Sunny:

"Yes ma'am"

#How can i say no even if i wanted to.🤦🏻‍♀️😞#

Sunny spent her most of the time finding the solutions of those questions .Finally she found it but was exhausted to very extent.

Sunny:

"Finally it's over! but are this answers correct? Lets see what that ma'am will say. I'm frightened , what if i failed them? What if they think I'm not giving my all? "

All these thoughts came to her mind.

Next day was the day of submission. She submitted her answers.

Teacher 1:

"Nothing less was expected from you Sunny. Great ! You have solved them within time limit.Good job . Your parents will be proud of you."

Sunny:

"Thankyou very much Ma'am"🙂

#Yes they are proud but i want to enjoy all this ,not to force myself to do this.God knows when i can do that!

*sigh*. #

Teacher 2:

"Good Sunny . I heard from Teacher 1 about your performance.Keep it up."

Inside the classroom

Teacher 2:

"Everyone listen here ! Sunny has solved all the question so who ever have doubt and problems should ask her. I hope you all will try to become like her."

Everyone fixed their eyes on her as the teacher made the announcement.

Sunny:

😊

# I'm having a bad feeling. Why would teacher do that? Praising me is fine but this was too much for me! 😞 Can't they give me some rest for once! Their hopes are increasing day by day . #

At the end , she ended up doing everything she was told. She was exhausted but still forced herself to do what she has been asked for. Once she thought that she should give up but looking at the faces of her parents and teachers, she didn't find any other way than doing all the things. Atlast she went with the flow and never tried again to break those boundaries set up on her.

In the end Sunny was still a caged bird who will be freed only after death takes her away. Till the very end, those boundaries were intact and never let her go.
