Chapter 1: Good news

Hope you all enjoy the first chapter of my new book.

Tahoy's pov

It's 3:30 a.m. I haven't sleep at all. Infact I can't sleep. Tension is surrounding me. I'm  trying to pull away but I can't. I'm not feeling comfortable in my bed. I alter to seating position in bed, trying to do meditation but still it isn't helping. Now, I'm getting angry at myself. I take a pillow, slowly close my door and start walking to terrace.

On the terrace, I sit in cradler, swinging and looking at the beautiful moon and star over the sky. It's working; it's shoothing my mind. I don't know where I lost just looking at the beautiful sky. I stop swinging, set my pillow and lean on cradler taking my cusion over my chest. I'm staring at the moon. Soon I fall asleep.

"Princess, get up..." my mom is calling me. I wake up and watch time on my phone. It's 5:05 AM. The sun has already raised. "Oh, no. I'm late. I can't miss my prayer, Fazr." I rush to my room, freshen up and do my prayer.

After that I change into my yoga dress, collect my phone, mat, water bottle and again heading to terrace. I love to do my yoga at terrace. I'm setting yoga mat; one for me and another for my little sister.

We are two sisters, no brother. But also not less than brother. We do everything together; whether it's good or bad. We also fight over a silly matter. But it's true that we can't live without each other. She is sweet, cute, extrovert, talkative, talented in a word exactly my opposite.

I start my yoga. After few minute, I heard her footsteps.
"You are 5 mins late. Do 10 sit up first then start your yoga." I told to my younger sister, Sumire.

"Yeah, yeah. You always do this to me" she told me.

"You should wake up early. If you wake up early, I won't give you this punishment" I smirked.

"I can barely open my eyes today. Please, I won't do it today."

"What's your today's excuse?" I rolled my eyes as she always do it. Every day she comes with a new excuse and try not to do yoga. She is lazy. But as her stubborn elder sister (according to her), I never listen.

"It's your big day" she says it happily as she is expecting I'll spare her today. I laugh eternally.

"It's my big day, not yours. Now, quickly do 10 sit up unless you want to increase it to 15 for being 7 mins late."

She sighs. "Yes, ma'am" she gives me a salute and starts her sit up.

I am doing Tarasana, vrikshasana, utthila Parsvakonasana, anjanyansana rt/lt, Natarajasana rt/lt, utlatasana, paripurnasana.

"Apuni" sumire addresses me softly.

"What?" I replied sweetly.

"Aren't you nervous?"she asked me.

"Actually....yes" I take my time and replied. My face shows how tensed I am.

"Ya Allah, you are so tensed." She almost screamed while she was noticing my reaction. "I have never seen you like this before."

"Stop your drama, sumu (her nickname)." I scold her. She zips her lip.

After a while again she begins..
"Apuni"

"What?"

"If it is good news, then will you leave us?"

I open my eyes. I notice her sadness. Suddenly I also become sad. I understand what's she meant. If it's good news I have to get ready my VISA . I have to fly to another country which I don't want. But it's my dream. I'll be completely alone there. It'll not be so easy to fly to my Homeland very often. But I'm a homesick person. How will I handle it Among strangers? Besides I have to leave my family, Sumire, cousins, friends. There are so many memories. So many thoughts cross my head.
