chapter 39

It looks amazing.The machine that I bought thirty minutes ago, is now wrapped in a plain red felt paper, tied with a golden glittery bow, with silver swirls of curly confetti tied just under the center of the bow. I stared at it.I finally got it. I finally got something that he's been working very hard for. As if it was meant to be bought by me. I kept staring at it as I rolled the remaining felt paper. All I could think about was his reaction when I now finally have the chance to give it to him. His joy, his laughter, his smile.His happiness.That's the best gift I'd get for the Christmas." Dara, we need to talk."The sudden appearance of my mom from my doorway made me jolly up in my bed. I brushed away the wrapping papers aise, hiding them under my pillow. I glanced at the present I had bought for Yoongi, right under my desk, behind a paper bag filled with papers. It's almost too big to be hidden, but still quite unnoticeable.She can't know that I bought something as expensive as this. She'll figure out where I got the money from. She'll figure out that I've been working. She'll figure out that I've been skipping night classes. I can't let that happen." What is it?" I asked as casually as I could, putting a pillow on the top of my lap.She enters into the room and shut the door close gently. She then sits beside me, her feet still touching the floor. He usually bright face is somehow dull and gloomy, and her smiles, that is usually glued on her face, is nowhere to be seen ." Your school has e-mailed me your current grades this semester, and-"  She starts sighing deeply as she massages the temples of her forehead." It's 0.8% lower from your grades from the  last semester."" I'm..." I begin, panic arising within me. Will she find out?Did she find out?" What's wrong, honey?" She asks, looking up at me. " Don't you want to be a doctor? Being a doctor means having the best grades."" I-I know... I-its just ..." I whispered, but not being able to continue. I don't want to be a doctor." What ?" She asks, moving closer to me." I've been under a lot of pressure these days." I lied. " I'll - I'll do better in the upcoming tests."" That's good to hear!" She says, her face lightening up. She stands up and begins walking out, but then she stops. She looks at me from her shoulder and muttered, " I hope you know that your dad and I have high expectations from you, Dara!" " I-I know!" I said almost instantly. " I know mom, that's why I'm trying my... m-my best."" Well, you're not trying hard enough." She says as she shifts her gaze to the front. " I wouldn't want your dad to be talking to you about this. You know how he can be."My dad never thought of anything else besides his reputation. Because he is one of the best doctors in the hospital he's been working at for half of his life, he wouldn't shut up about how his only daughter would be a doctor one day. Or how smart she is, or how hard working she is. Or how much being a doctor runs in our blood." I know." I said squeezing the pillow slightly. " I know mom."" Good." She says for the third time. " Come out to lunch now."" Okay, I'm going to...fix some stuffs." I lied again, holding my breath." Okay." She says nodding. She looks back at me one more time and  said the words that made me feel unnecessarily guilty." Don't get distracted."But what if I already am!?•••A/n:-A comparatively short chapter,hehe.
