Adventure story. 723. Anaya's job

                                                            Anaya's job

Anaya began to arrange everything properly at cupboard. She wanted all her dresses to be in perfect way. She looked towards remaining cupboard. Empty! Finally, she got entire cupboard for herself. It was her dream to have one. But she never got it. She was arranging dresses for hours. She didn’t understand which one should be perfect for occasion. Her mom told her to get ready properly. She was planning to impress a rich man to get job. It was important for her to have job. Her ambition was her career. But still she felt so nervous. She felt sort of guilty. She never tried to do these sorts of things. She was always shy one. Her sister used to do all those things. Her sister was achieving progress step by step too. She was stuck on one point of her career. She was choosing her dress when her sister Lily came in room. Lily looked towards her cupboard. “I might like to try one of your dresses!” She shivered. Anaya didn’t like when Lily used her dress. Anaya preferred her privacy. Anaya knew that how hard she tries to share but she preferred not to share. Anaya developed one attachment to her dress. She felt so sad when once again Lily came to demand it. Anaya said slowly “I don’t want to share my dress why don’t you wear one of your dresses?” “Why you need to object like that?” Lily started browsing those her dresses. Lily was acting in such a way as if she owned them all. Anaya wanted to object but she knew that it was useless. She knew that her dad would support Lily since Lily always followed his every order. Lily was going to talk sweetly with Dad’s every friend. Lily talked in different way. Anaya didn’t the way Lily acted. Anaya felt as if Lily didn’t care for her self-respect. Still Anaya kept thinking about it positively since Lily was getting success. Lily was earning money. Anaya told herself that she was not wise & practical like Lily. But Anaya was not going to permit her to use her dress. Anaya said loudly “These are my dresses chose one of your.” Lily gave her angry look. “Come on. You need to learn to share.” Lily was touching Anaya’s dresses. Anaya felt so disgusting. Anaya was no longer interested in wearing them. Anaya knew if she kept acting this way soon, she couldn’t have any beautiful dress to wear. She felt so frustrated at that thought. Anaya slowly said “It’s enough. I don’t want you to touch my dresses.” Now Lily started screaming loudly enough with view that other would hear it. “Come on I am just touching your dresses & observing them. I am not taking them away. I just want to wear one for one party what’s big deal?” Anaya didn’t want her to wear on that point her father entered & began to scream angrily “I bought those all dresses. I can decide who will take which one.” “But Dad, you gave them to me.” “I can take them back too.” Anaya felt so sad. But she decided to not give up. “I own them now. I will not give them to her.” “You are such selfish ungrateful girl!” Her mom spoke in Anaya’s support “Enough! Lily has many dresses. Let Lily use one of her.” Lily gave angry look to Mom & finally Lily left room. Dad started to abuse Anaya & mom. But when Anaya didn’t give up finally, he forced to left room too. It was so painful. Anaya started crying but her mom started telling to calm down. “You must not cry you are going to party you must prepare your best & look nice before all.” Anaya nodded. Anaya began to work hard to control her emotions. Anaya wanted to look her best.

        Anaya found it so difficult to control her emotions before public. Anaya was so upset. She kept thinking about entire incidence. Her Dad was already planning to purchase similar dress for Lily. It was so odd that Lily wanted exactly same dress. But Lily wanted it. Her Dad was already asking about shop. Anaya tried to argue but things were not working as per her wish. She just hoped that shop wouldn’t have duplicate dress. She didn’t want to wear dresses like Lily. It was so frustrating. She slowly began to argue “Why she needed to copy my dress? She can buy dress which is different than my dress. She can even buy more costly. This is not right!” Her Dad screamed on her “You don’t have any copyright on that design. Lily can purchase it.” She felt so shocked & angry. But she knew that if she argued then it would be useless. Her mom took hold of her hand & said in low voice “Don’t worry. She will not get same design that shopkeeper told me it was single piece.” Anaya dried her eyes & said “I really feel scared. I don’t want her to imitate me.” “Don’t worry. Now concentrate on yourself. You need to look pretty & confident in this party.” Anaya nodded. She needed to prepare herself to feel positive. She needed to smile & talk. Her father managed to upset her so much but still she needed to bring positivity in her mind. She began to feel so negative. Her mind started to sense negativity of entire incidence. Lily & her father managed to disturb her mentally. She knew that it wouldn’t be easy to go to party now. She was scared & nervous. She needed to find some way to have positivity in her mind. She didn’t need negativity. She looked towards mobile. She began to think what would be better option. She could listen to music or play some game or listen to some story book. She also managed to download few things which tell her about how to keep mind calm. It was important for her. She needed to remain calm. Soon she found her favorite song & she got involved in it. Lily was observing her with full attention but Anaya didn’t sense it. Lily wanted to know what Anaya was listening. Lily wanted to listen same thing. Her Dad told her that she could have all that Anaya had. Lily wanted everything which Anaya was getting. Lily didn’t want Anaya to have anything just for herself. After all Anaya was not getting these things by Anaya’s own earning. Their dad gave them so if Dad decided to give it to Lily, then Lily could take all from Anaya. Anaya didn’t look towards her. Lily was not happy about it. Her Dad began to talk to Lily “I am telling you. Lily you are smart girl. You can achieve anything you want. You just need to decide with determination & I am ready to help you in every way.” Lily smiled happily. Lily knew that Dad would give everything to her. She decided to concentrate on demanding things from Dad instead of using Anaya’s dresses. She knew that Anaya would never permit it. Lily slowly began to demand things from her dad. But Dad was not that much happy about it. Dad slowly changed subject. Lily didn’t even sense it. Lily kept talking happily about all. Lily kept chatting freely.

         Anaya felt so nervous due to argument when she entered in Party Hall. Her dad was observing her with full attention. She could sense it & she didn’t like it. She felt like some prisoner. She wanted feel free. But Lily was so happy when Dad kept telling her where she supposed to go. Anaya just wanted dad to pay attention to Lily. She didn’t want her dad to interfere in her life. But she knew that her dad would always keep total attention on her. Anaya was so frustrated by all this. Her life was dependent on this party. She needed to impress people. She had hopes of becoming famous shop keeper one day. She knew that it was hard but if she got job in some shop then she would surely manage to own a shop one day too. She needed to find some shop owner who could give her a job. She began to look around. Soon she found one Uncle who had one shop in market. She immediately went towards Uncle. She began to talk. She felt that she was impressing her uncle when suddenly her dad appeared & told her angrily “Your mom is calling you. Don’t wander around in hall like that! Stay with your mom.” She was so confused. “Go…Your mom is calling you.” She nodded & she started to search for her mom. She didn’t find her for long time. She was so angry. On that point she suddenly bumped in one person. She looked towards that young man. She began to feel that it was time for her hope. He said “Sorry.” Then he went away. She felt so sure that he liked her. His smile was so sweet & kind. Then she began to search for her mom. Soon she discovered that her mom was busy in chatting with her relatives. It was crystal clear that her mom was not calling her. She was so upset. She didn’t understand one thing that why did her dad needed to lie like that. But she decided that she needed to concentrate on boy who dumped in her. If she planned to get married then she didn’t need to find that shop now. She needed to confirm from her husband if he permits her to open a shop. She didn’t want to destroy her marriage due to her career ambitions. Her marriage was important for her. She decided to skip that idea & she slowly asked her mom “Who was that boy?” One of her relative declared “That’s my son-in-law?” She felt so confused. Then that lady declared “Here comes my daughter just behind you.” She understood now. That boy was looking towards his wife not her. She felt so hurt. She didn’t able to talk with that shop owner & she by mistake selected a married man to do inquiries. Then mom turned to her & asked “What happened?”  She told mom what her dad told her. Her mom was shocked. Mom “Why your dad told you like that?” She felt so upset. Then one auntie came with tense expression & told them that her dad argued with that uncle. So, she felt certain that she couldn’t get job there. At same time Lily was chatting freely with Dad’s favourite relatives. Her dad didn’t argue with them. She felt so nervous & negative. She began to feel that her entire chance was gone. She went back home & she started crying. Lily said slowly “You can’t get anything. You are not so smart.” She wanted to argue but she decided to ignore. She began to feel so depressed. She started to feel so nervous. She didn’t say anything. She knew that if she argued Lily would scream & her dad would come in her support. Lily began to tell how great she was. Anaya just kept sitting on her bed. Anaya started to plan different things regarding her shop. Anaya knew that she might not get job but still she kept trying. Soon she understood that Lily was planning to marry some rich man. Anaya felt so happy. She wanted Lily to just live happy life in house of Lily’s husband. But when Lily started to calling her inferior Anaya felt hurt. But during that time Anaya found one small shop which would offer her a job. She was so happy. She applied. Then in morning she told all about that job but they were not interested in it. Lily was planning to date that boy. Then Anaya felt sad. But any way she went on that that shop. It was nice shop. She began to work as sales person. She started to enjoy it. But on other side of mind, she was tense. She began to feel that Lily might managed to take away all her dresses. She was tense. After completing hours in shop, she came home. She was so tired. Her mom offered her snacks & coffee. But her dad kept talking with Lily in loud voice. They were celebrating their success while abusing other. Anaya went in room. Next thing she heard was screams of her mom. She came out. Lily was threatening to kill herself crying loudly. Her dad was screaming on mom. He was blaming all on mom. Lily kept abusing all. Lily kept targeting all. Finally, after long effort that drama stopped. Next day her parents decided to take Lily to meet psychiatrist. Clearly that boy rejected Lily. It was so shocking to Anaya that Lily was doing this for a boy whom she had met just once. Lily went to psychiatrist. They started some medicines. Anaya was watching all. Anaya sensed one thing that her dream of owning shop was hard but it’s better than dream of owning some rich boy. Anaya hoped that Lily would stop that stunt. But any way Anaya was not going to say anything against Lily. Anaya just kept away. One thing was certain her dad was cause of Lily’s issue. Psychiatrist even indicated it but nothing changed. Lily kept following her dad & kept having issues. Anaya didn’t manage to get job which would make her rich but Anaya managed to live one life in which she was normal. She was glad about it. She loved her job. After watching Lily, she decided that she didn’t need her dad’s help to own shop. She would work happily as sales girl in other person’s shop. Her dad’s inheritance had curse of his madness.
