MISS HIM!

AFTER 2 MONTHS

Ishana:

It's been 2 months since I started staring at him... and, well, stalking him.

I know exactly when he comes out for his rounds to check on patients, and when he leaves the hospital.

I'm such a stalker!!

But the interesting part is...

When I'm staring at him, and he doesn't even know I'm watching, he suddenly turns around and our eyes lock for a few seconds.

He always catches me off guard!

I mean, I never expect him to look back, but there he is—turning around while I'm mid-stare—and he catches me!

Damn, it's so embarrassing.

But he always does that!

Then he smiles at me... and walks away.

He's so cool.

And I like that... a lot.

But now, I can't see him anymore.

Maybe he left the hospital.

I can't find him anywhere these days...

I don't know where he is now.

I miss him.

So much.

Maybe he left because he wasn't interested in me...

But don't worry, Ishana. You'll forget him too!

You've had lots of crushes in the past—and you got over them.

It's not a big deal to forget one more person...

SIX MONTHS LATER

Ishana:

(Huh. I didn't forget that man. Damn, what the hell—where is he??)

Father:

Daughter, it's time for you to get married.

Ishana:

What!! How old am I to get married?!

I'm still a kid!

Mother:

Stop your melodrama!!

Tomorrow, a family is coming to see you.

Make sure not to mess it up!

Ishana:

So what if they're rich?

I don't want to get married yet!

Just don't force me to do something I don't want to do!

Mother:

If not now, then when? In your old age?

Ishana:

Yeah! You're right—in my old age!

I don't want to mess up my life even more.

It's already messed up enough!

Mother:

Just shut up. I'm not asking for your permission.

I'm telling you—behave properly in front of them.

Ishana:

Who said I'm going in front of them? Huhhh...

Father:

Enough—both of you!

Ishana, behave properly tomorrow.

Or else we'll do something you won't even expect us to do...

Ishana:

Now you're even blackmailing me?

Fine. Okay!!

(After this, I went to my room.)

What the hell...

Why do parents always have to force their children to do things they don't want to do?
