ice-cream chapter 1

  It was hot summer day i felt like going out side with my friend and have an ice-cream,(minal loves to eat ice cream a lot, but now here is the problem her mother dont like her going out side because she was from a very conservative family.but still she is her mother) she ask her about it with three no and five time asking why? she agrees with her. Minal called her best friend anaya, " hello anni let go out have and ice-cream together" anni said "i cant yaar" why?! Because i dont feel like going out. 'BAS' that, why you don't want to come please anni you know my mother never allows me out.( well again with 4 no's and 6 i don't want to go she said yes)

                          Ice-cream stall was just near my house. It took 5 minutes to anni to come to my house. I was wearing my burqa with my nose piece . It was too hot. I wanted to get to the ice-cream stall as soon as posible.anni was looking upset, I asked her about what happen she said nothing.( as you know that is the most common answer given by our friends after asking "what happen", we were walking in silence anni now open up about her 'nothing happen to something had happen'. She said "it about my future i am worried about" "what about it you are an humanity student. So either you choose to be a teacher or to be a writer" you know it! I said, she want to become a writer but her parents are not going to support her in this as we all know our parents first priorities are to get us married first that whatever our husbands decide we have to do it.well we are now at the shall. I asked ice-cream seller bhaiya "dow(two) ice-cream dena". Well he stared at me for a while and than smiled differently and than went away yelling. Do I look like an ice cream seller. I was embarrassed at that moment but what can i say? He just ran away shouting it. After few minutes the ice cream seller came " kon si ice-cream du madam" at very moment i wanted to quit to eat ice-cream.for what? Huh! Meanwhile anni was laughing that much that she could not breathe. Said her anni shut up what are you 15" it happens some time....more often..it ok while taking ice-cream from that man i asked to shutup or i will throw this ice-cream on your face. But she couldn't stop...well at some moment it was funny the way he answered and ran away for no reason at all. 

             I went home I wanted to go home very fast because of anni could not stop herself talking about that scene. Ok anni what ever! I said moving my lips to my cheek. Than i went home.very quietly( the last time she was quiet when her mother slap her because she was continuously shouting and dancing in front of the relatives) 'for 5 minutes'. Mother immediately notice her silence oh my god sun might have risen from the west. Did some one died or is there earthquake coming.... ohh yeh maa so much of you sarcasm shup up now I hate this... what happen beta? Nothing (the usual answer) ooh tell me rani, i hate this when ever she called me rani i just melt like and ice-cream.. (you know what i did there... you know don't tell that) rewinding every thing mother laugh a little than said it mostly happens beta... but, "mother everyone was looking at as like we had asked them for there kidneys".

                  (Next day) 

                   I was late at my university as usual keeping things like running out with some one (kash...if i could)

 Before moving out my mother shouted a loud "RANI"! ( YOU KNOW THATS A SIGNAL TO ANYTHING IS BIG IS COMING) "what maa" you father is going to come from saudi for always.my father was earning money for twenty years in saudi i could only can see him at his vacation only for two months. He's very strict hardly speaks when ever needed or just talk in sign language i am just scared of him ( minal dont know father is coming with surprises  just wait and watch...ok read). I was about to step out side the house. My mother said, " rani don't go college today we have to renovate this house as your father like, talk to your friend anni also, if she could come and help as she is your bestfriend.

  Anni enters," small smile" something is wrong with her. Hii anni i said, she smiled again, what work you have...i have to get back to home. I was silent at the time, ok what happened anni please say.you know na...hh my mother how she is and water splash out of her eye.its ok anni....her green eye look like beautiful lake..ok....hhhhh.. thats all go ahead.we both have same color eye green for some reason. people use to say we both are twins.but the truth is we both just have same color eye and nothing alse. I am a very shy and reserved type of person always scared of everything and worries about responsibilities. And anni she is very carefree person but responsible. But very bold and stubborn when her mother asked her to wear burkha. She said, its my choice whether to wear it or not.her mother slapped her but she just didn't respond to it not a single tear. if this would me i would have cried a lot have you seen a cartoon character like 'shingshan' but i respect her.its her choice to do anything what she want.and i realy love her. (Well lets get back to the story)i said now what she did to you she said snubbing her nose with her extra thin and long fingers she...sheehhh....is asking me get married to 35 years old (buddha) but rich. What you said her wiping the floor. I said i will run away and never come back( running away) now what than i am twenty years old i can do anything of my choice in life.her most concerned is to earn money na. So i will work and help her financially( affordable question.....its not that easy) "well you can" i said still wiping the floor. My mother entered suddenly she started dusting the sofa.thankyou soo much beta for so much of help, my mother said with a big smile on her face,offering some snacks  and tea it ok aunty I really like household work..( that was her trying to act generous) well i think thats an oscar winning performance. And said to my very beautiful self.than within a second my mother started with her (#mydaughterisgoodfornothing) she started acting like she is so intensively interested in her conversation on her one sided monologue about her daughter she so useless and careless. Etc, ok maa. I think she understood i am good for nothing now please go we have to finish this..w.o.r.k. i hated when she smiled at me very cunning and vampy. I smiled her back. With my lip movement. 'ANNI', i said....hummm she said. I am so bored so, do i dance 'mujra' here to entertain you. Naa baba! Let go out have ice-cream. 'Arrreeyy' ice-cream handsome man running and yelling i am not a ice-cream seller you get that...akhir kab tak...until when you will tease me behan. 'Bakhsh do'. But, "what about the permission". I said, "Dont worry"! anni said, I am there naa!

Ok thanks a lot beta, my mother said, should we go out to have ice-cream aunty pleasssseèee! Ice-cream she smiled and said ok go but ask the right guy this time...wanted to say, "that was nasty" 

Anni said, you are so naive menu you said this to your mother. If guy will ask you for your mother than you will be running moooommmmyy i guy askkkkk for number!!!!!! 

We went to that shop again the boy stared at me and said 2 ice-cream.I said, "yes"  okk i have something for you! For me? I asked. nooo! He said to her green eye girl.
