MY MISTAKES OF BEING RICH

chapter-1

My Alarm started to Kick-Off my ASS this morning. It is totally hard to wake up early. Lethargy started ruling over. I didnot have to work much as there are countable servants at my home to make my things simple and easy. I was gifted with my Good Father  and in addition with Rich. Being Rich makes life more happier and Well-to-do. 

     Hardly I have Managed to get out of my bed. The bright morning sunshine started to kiss my cheeks. It was nice everyday to walk in my Green Gardens,,,Feeling the chilling fresh air and the sunshine. It makes me boosted after having a good sleep. 
     I heard my MOM's voice from far window..shouting that "It's getting late to my school
I have checked my watch.."Oops I'm almost late." Quick impulses started to work on. Somehow I have managed to ready faster. MOM has already packed my breakfast cause I almost missed my first class.
    As in common for everyday DAD came to check how my days are going on. He kissed my cheek, throwing a smile  to my face, he said "You look  new today. You seem striking!!! Are you ready for school? "It doesn't make any sense, right "How can I Look new in an uniform which I wear everyday but these were the common compliments I receive everyday. I'm  very familiar with them.
    I slightly smiled, said "Thanks  day, Yeah!! Perfectly ready for school". My BMW waits  outside to carry me to school.
    Finally, I reached my school. My friends, Clay was waiting for me at the gate. Phew!!! thanks god I got such a good  friend. Though he missed the first period he just kept on waiting for me at the gate.
    Clay and I caught  the class for  second period. That's how friendship works. Well!! he's the only good friend I have managed to catch-up. He's very good and mostly innocent but in contrast he's destitutely poor. His family live's on farming.
         Beyond all these he's a sharp-witted bright student , thought being poor he has been able to study without paying a penny. He always helps me with my book stuff. So I have  managed to pass many of my subjects. 
        Apart, my father doesn't like being a friend with him. He always says "Be careful  with that poor guys. Poor people are too clever to deceive. He do all these stuff by looking on  our wealth"...
It seems weird but he cares me too much.

chapter-2

I have plans running  on my mind of taking Clay to my home. It's a proud  feeling  of being rich. I just wanted to show him how stinking rich Iwas.
      I just wanted to enjoy his Dazing eyes of surprise to my richness. I just wanted to receive all the compliments and good sayings from my poorer friend.
      Somehow, I have managed to convince my father to bring Clay for weekends. My friend do hardly accepted for the visit. And I just kept on arranging things look better  and more glorious than they look usual. I just wanted to put all of my pride into the things that his eye catches.That does'nt sounds well but that's how thing's go-on.
       Finally the day came, and I'm waiting for my Little-Crumps arrival. I was just imagining how struck dumb he would be, receiving all hallow words from his mouth, All these things on my  mind made me more curious about his arrival.
         My eyes were moving around the entrance, Finally I heard the sound of opening the gate. It was Clay. Phew!!! it's really hard to wait for a person that long. I dashed towards him and blew a bit  towards his stmoach "Dude!! How long I need to wait for you. Everyone wants to see you!! come fast"
         He just smiled a bit and said "Look ! What I have brought for you." He showed me a Baggie he was holding ."Here!! mangoes, freshly plucked with my own hands, my farm deals a lot with them", I didn't care much about them, I just kept on ignoring them.
           I took him to the dining hall, Everyone's there were waiting for Clay's arrival. We sat for dinner. He was quiet and kept calm, just sitting next to me without saying a word.
           I was just waiting for his  cracking-up words or may be this time a single word as a compliment. He ate food as much as he can and said  "Thank you!! Food's  was more tastier with Love" He gave the baggie of covers and he bid BYE!. He moved out immiedietly. I did'nt stop him, may be I was a bit disapointed about my expectation's.
          Things really do'nt really work of what we think.

chapter-3

I just wanted to extend my time to seek Clay's slant. It seems to be  smaller thing to ignore but it matters me a lot.
       Next day I  rushed to him, wasting no time I started to shoot all my questions one then other. "How you felt yesterday?"  ,"How was yesterday?" , "How was my home?" , "Blaaa Blaaa Blaaaa...........!!!!!!" . He just kept a simple smile ,like an answer to all my questions.
       Can I be satisfied with that Damn Smile, no, probably not, I just need a voice rather than a silly smile. I started to force him, even it does'nt look good. Finally he let his words out. That's a relief, Phew!!. He said  "Yeah!  It was nice!" that's all''..
        We can make a tree to walk, rocks to melt, even a fish to fly BUT very hard to make clay to talk.
But this time I took my chances.I directly asked him "Have you not been surprised, of my richness". He just laughed out loudly and said "Why should I be surprised of such tiny little things. There's nothing strange to be surprised with"
       It looks annoying much. I did'nt asked anything after then. Silence started to rule over. Breaking it he told" Ufffff!!!!  come on man, there is nothing to be surprised  with!! Once you come to my place, there are many things taht makes you surprised!!! I bet you will be stricked-dumb"
      It made me thing more than my strength. His words were still running on my mind. I hardly tried to close my eyes and get some sleep but his words still killing my head!!!
       Finally, I decided to leave for his home. It's quiet hard for a kid who had lived with all the comforts more than a person require. My mind started to frame "How his house could be ?, How I'm gonna push myself into those conditions" Almost I have spent my night thinking hard. Almost my night seems hard to be done.
        Morning seems weighted. It takes lots of strength to get myself up. Lots of thoughts running over my mind.
        I gathered all my courage and moved straight to father and I have told all my plans. I knew he would say "NO" sor sure and my guesses never been wrong. I tried my best to convince him. He came up with his reasons for not sending me  "How can I send you to such poor places, How can I allow you to such poverty, right here you are happy with the comforts that you deserve...Blaa Blaa Blaaa...!!!!" But I just kept on asking for three to four days And finally he hardly accepted but on many conditions. Ufff..generally I ignored them, nothing to care much about them. The time period which was given was only one day long and I need to get back right after.

chapter-4

I have informed about my plans of coming to Clay. He felt very happpy of my arrival. He just gave me some instructions, but they sound weird totally.
     Finally the day came. This day I woke up early and got all things ready for the journey.
     Clay instructed me not to come on my car rather to choose for a bus to catch-up. Finally I reached to the place where has told me to come. I got out out of the bus immediately cause it all looked so strange. I have'nt travelled on a bus till but my first experience was probably better one. Clay was waiting for me on the Bus-Stop as if he waits for me at school.
       I felt like "Oh! poor little boy! You are such a pain in my ASS!"
      He was such a nice person I have till met. He just throwed a smile and question about my travel. "Actually it was not that worse! I thought I would mess with something but it was better than I thought!" Clay started saying "I think this little kid has grown enough! without hiding on your BMW...." He just  seems's making fun of me. What can i say further. Breaking the silence I said "Ufffffff!!!!! Look! Mr.Eeinstein is this Bus-stop your home? Can we move to your home as fast as we come. My  creatures were invading my stmoach! There's a big war running on my stmoach! I'm totally hungry"
         He totally understood my situation. He pointed his finger to a OX-Cart saying that "Here's your royal BMW to carry you". 
       I was like "seriously!! No way I cannot ride on it rather I can move back to home."
       The horse rider just waiting for us with dazling, shining eyes, looking very eager to receive me!! His face seemed to be humble, good person.
       He smiled and asked "How was the journey!! was it all nice!! Your aunt is waiting home, She's making something delicious", then I understood he's Clay's father.
      He's big of his age but he does'nt look so. He's ever smiling active person packed with complete energy. He helped me to settle down on the cart. It was a strange experience to describe. We  gradually started Home.

chapter-5

It was a strange experience for the first time on  OX-Cart. Actually, It was not that bad, Yeah! it was all good then I've expected. After a while buildings got vanished. I was like "Look around!! Earth was totally covered with a green mat", I could only see green fields with chilling freezy fresh air, The birds welcomed  us with their sweet singing's. The sky looks clearly blue and was more decorated with the birds flying. Everything looks different and strange like if I was stepped onto another planet.

       Meanwhile uncle started to speak. He was very funny!! He told us about his childhood, how he spent his childhood days, how he play during evenings, how their fields were, how he got married, and Blaaaa Blaaa Blaaaaa......!!!!!!!

       Listening to his words i just realized how much I spend my time at home, locked to my room. I literally felt, I don't have enough freedom to go out and spend my evenings with friends. I have everything more than enough but not the things that makes me happy.home. 
       Finally we reached to Clay's.  Clay's mother was waiting for us. She brought me a jug of water to wash my feet, after washing we immediately sat for breakfast. Clay's mother is preparing us Rotis  in cutlery stove, burned with sticks and fine wood. I have'nt seen it before or food made with it. She struggles blowing air with a pipe into the stove. Finally she has made for all of us. The rotis were hot, I did'nt dared to eat until they become cold. Clay's mom observed it and totally understood my problem. So she started to feed me with her own hands. Those rotis were absolutely delicious and even they were more tastier with the love of Clay's mom. After completing the breakfast she washed my mouth with water and rubbed with a clean cloth. She said "Do'nt be afraid! Treat this as your own home, feel free!" Her love was beyond words!
      After a while, Clay has taken me to their mango garden. The garden was quiet and pleasant. Clay said,"Do you want to eat some fresh mangoes". I just not said anything. He just understood my silence and said,"Do you want to climb the tree". I literally said "No! I can't". I have'nt climbed a tree before, even I do'nt know how to climb. I felt scared and remembered all my father's instructions. Clay understood my fear. He showed me how to climb the tree, he told few instructions,do's and dont's. This time I tried and I did it pretty well.
       I plucked one mango with my hands. It was shinning and ready for harvest. I bited the mango at one end and started to squeeze it's juice. It was like a sweet honey dropped bit by bit from heaven. I have'nt  tasted such a delicious fruit in my entire life, maybe my efforts made it more tasty. Even I couldnot stop myself licking my own fingers. I couldnot explain it's sweetness in words. The garden was quite a place, we moved around then sat under a tree shade, staring at the birds around, laughing at our very own jokes, Yeah! it was alll good there.
      After a while, we moved to Clay's home. Clay's mother prepared us delicious Thali. It was stmoach full of food. We ate together with all smiles.
      We sat on the bed of nave at outdoors. It was nice with cold fresh air. I rested my head on the pillow and started starring at the stars. My eyes were shining with surprise. Clay's mother sat next to me and started telling us different phantom stories....!!!!
      Listening to them I did'nt  even know that I started to sleep. It was all good there.

CHAPTER-6

Next day morning, someone is hardly trying to wake me up. I slowly opened my eyes. It was my car driver. My father has sent him to bring me home.

    I did'nt spoke anything, not even a single word. It was quiet hard for me to leave the place. It was all silence all over the travel. My mother was waiting for me at the gate. I think she has missed me a lot. She rushed to me, a deep hug with a kiss on my cheek. It was a sign of welcome to home. 

   Dad was waiting for me at the door. He hugged me and we sat on the sofa, father looked right to my eyes and said "How was the little trip! Have you learnt anything new".

I took a deep long breath and said " Yeah dad! I've observed many differences between here and there, 

        We have enumerable lights to give lighting but they have innumerous starts to light them. We have walls to protect us but they have love to protect them. Silence rules us but smiles rules them. We are rich by money but they are rich by love"

             Then I noticed how poor we are
