THIS ISN'T THE END

Being the children of a renowned person has both advantages and disadvantages, specially when your parents are both eminent and excellent businessman. It's really tiring! And it becomes more tiring when you're their daughter. And the most tiring when you're the sole heiress of their vast business empire.

Enemies' eyes are on you, every moment. It can be said, they know more about you than you know about yourself or your family members.

Nothing can escape their eyes at all!

Nothing!

Moreover, the day ends by turning a new iron rod into a rusty iron rod. Click photos, always look elegant, wear expensive things, sit with straight backbone and cross legs (not only in public but also in your own house. Paparazzi can take your candid at anytime, making me doubtful whether am trapped in a zoo or at my home), learn more than 3 foreign languages, be the top student, go shopping followed by bodyguards, can't have many friends, don't often hang out with friends, always be cautious, wear sunglasses, wear diamond or gold jewelleries.

And yeah! Always being followed by paparazzi.

Oops! Sorry! This isn't the end.

If your day is too bad and by chance, your bodyguards have finally let their guards down, then what? What is left to happen?! Having being Attacked by your parent's opponents or being kidnapped! And the worst thing will be, D.E.A.T.H...Death!

Killed! Finished! Disappeared! Game Over!

No! Life Over!

I remembered at least from my 14, I started to get friendship proposals, by which some wanted to be famous and some wanted a good impression on others. And maximum proposals were based on the business. God! Why couldn't I have normal friends?

Whenever, I was going to or coming out of school, few parents chased me to befriend with their children, nearly giving a shock. What a lousy trick to catch attention! As if I'm going to give them a damn look! And like always my bodyguards would push them away and in the meantime I sped up towards my car and got in quickly.

Laterally I always needed to show my cold sight wearing a long, cold face. I guess no one sees me as a human, but an easy tool to climb.

Mmm.... Just like a stepping stone.

Can anyone tell them, I am a human too. Yes, a girl in her 18 but for others, am just a pawn with no feelings or a medium for seeking attention. My head is filled with many worries and stress, in other words ANXIETY, still I need to look the best. I could never do the things that a normal child or teenager did. I even had my private home tutors.

I was leaning at my sit in the car recalling about myself and pitying, when I heard a familiar male voice, "Miss! Miss!"

With a shudder, I came back to the present world and looked towards the calling source.

"What is it, Bidyut Uncle?" I asked to the middle age man who's calling me. My voice sounded a little bit slightly husky, for not talking for 2~3 hours or so.

"Ma'am, we have reached! Will you get down now or wait for the crowd to clear up?"

"Inform me when it clears up," I wanted to lean for a while more. Because I knew I've many proposals, waiting for me right there to reject if those fame-hungry eyes saw me.

Oh! Yeah!

It won't be just friendship proposals now. It would be Relationship Proposals from Boys and Friendship proposals from Girls as well.

But despite everything, there's an excitement inside my heart, for which I was looking forward to, in this dark time. It's been too long but still it's so quiet!

I sighed, "How much long do I've to wait?"

And again lean against the backseat and closed my eyes.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks and vibrations on the window where I was half leaning. And immediately I knew who're the people causing a ruckus outside. My lips subconsciously moved upwards but I adjusted it.

My voice was a little bit of loud, as if I was disturbed in my sleep, "Who is it?"

I barely heard anything. Only one word entered to my ear, ANA.

Ana?

Though I was sure who were they, but still after hearing this name, I'm damn sure who were the brats.

'Yes! At last they've come'. I opened my eyes and looked out at the window. There were the two familiar faces for whom I was waiting. These two faces were the very close of my life, my only friends.

RINA & ADI.

I intentionally gave them a look of what-were-they-doing-there, even though I knew the answer. As expected that look satisfied them. I shifted to my right side. Rina came inside and sat at the empty seat, while Aditya sat on the passenger seat.

Both of them used same tone, "Heyyyy," and waved their hands right in front of my face, almost touching my naked eyes.

"What are two doing here? Are you....?"

"We're in the same college, Ana! With you! Surrrrpriiiiisssseeee!"

"This is not a surprise. But a.."

Adi finished, "A heart attack! I know!"

Rina continued, "Don't worry. We got a chance over here by the scholarship and got a special discount. Our parents can handle that monthly fees."

Adi said while brushing his hair, "Yeah. I told you na!? We three are unbreakable and inseparable."

I sat up, and shrugged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

A little trick!

A little luck!

I know about their surprise from the very beginning. They always tried hard to make me feel relaxed and happy. Of course, I also needed to make them happy and to cherish our friendship like the way they did for me. They're the only people whom I can call friends, and a part of my family besides my parents.

I thought this was my life. Sometimes boring, sometimes daring.

BUT!

But, my fate had planned something else, adding more dangers. Well! In short, it's not the end of my story.

This was just the beginning of My Real Nightmares. Or could be said Beginning Of The Countdown Of My LIFE.

Or The challenges of my Life!
