A Day Dreamer
Once upon a time there was a girl named Maria, lived in an exquisite, prepossessing and a small village near a lake which has a tranquil breeze that makes everyone able to forget their blues of life. Her village was famous for cordial people who were respectful and His father was certainly an honest farmer who was esteemed by every person in the village due to his hard work. Undoubtedly, they were poor but always concerned about their only daughter's future.
In contrast, she was not hardworking and honest like her father. She was a daydreamer whose dream was to become rich by going to the City because she thinks those who live in the city can be rich only. She often verbalized that she is a utopian dreamer whose dreams are perfect without any kind of evilness and myth.
Whenever she heard from someone that daydreams are myth and all dreams never become true, she became furious. One fine day, she met her aunt's family who came from a magnificent and bustling city and suggested that she could come with them to fulfil her dreams by going to the city.
She was ready to go and asked her parents that her only dream is to become rich but her parents told her not to be stubborn for this dangerous dream because the people of the village are our life and we cannot leave them alone. Later on, she made a cunning plan to convince them to go to the city and to make social links for the sake of getting rich.
Next day at the breakfast table, She went near them, kissed their hands and started crying. Curious parents gave each other a worried look and started asking her the reason behind her grief. A deep look of anguish crossed Maria’s face which gave her parents more pain. Subsequently, her mother hugged her, Maria said that you think I want to get rich for myself but in reality, I want to become rich by studying in the City.
My heart is desperate to get a good job so I could solve issues of village people. Tears scorched her father's eyes and he said I am proud of my daughter’s dream. Surely did not know the cunning secret plan of her daughter, so he gave her permission to go with her aunt and to study there. Maria proceeded toward her dream. When she entered there and saw beautiful huge buildings and greenery her eyes were stuck. They reach at home late at night and went asleep.
Next day she woke up and asked her aunt about the medical colleges in the city. Her aunt said the doctor is not a good profession to become rich so why are you opting it. She said I know becoming rich by being a doctor is a long journey. Is there any other way to become rich in a few days? Her aunt said the only way to progress in a few days is to join fashion designing school. She agreed because she already knew that her purpose is a richness and becoming a doctor is just a source to enter into the city.
Her first day in that university was like the first day in this world. She said to her aunt you are the only one who introduced me to a new world. '' In that university, a group was famous with the name of “Golden Gang”. Every student in class stayed away from that group but when she came to know that they all are from royal families she started stocking them. That “Golden Gang” knew very well that she wanted to join them no matter how many evil things she already heard about them so one day a very handsome boy came to her and asked her for dinner to join their group. She was stuck into his striking eyes and did not reply. He shakes his hand in front of her eyes then she replied I will tell you tomorrow. She was surprised that these modern people wanted to become her friends. Towards her aunt's home, she kept thinking about the boy's offer.
When she returned home and discuss with her aunt. Her aunt said if you want to become rich so you have to accept this glamorous society because they all are rich just because of their strong links with a lead class. If you make strong links with them you will get different opportunities to become rich soon. She agreed and went with that group to dinner According to her thinking dinner would be formal but they took her to a club where everybody started praising her beautiful face and her dress, she was wearing that dress given by her aunt. She started coping with the same things as they were doing for instance dancing, singing songs. Now the time came when the waiter came with drugs to her but she denied but her cool friends forced her that rich people always take drugs otherwise they must be considered as middle class. She took a little bit that day. Situational irony takes place when she went back to home at 10 pm with fear of her aunt but when she rang the bell and her aunt opened the door with a smiling face that was opposite to her intentions. She said my mother never understood me and cooperated with me like you. Time was passing quickly.
Her parents were missing her so much because she stopped writing letters to them. One day her mother became so worried that now it's been three months but she did not tell them where she is and how her studies are going. She spent all his father's money in the business of drugs according to her feeding by her aunt. She was earning a lot therefore she arranged her grand birthday party and invited her friends except her parents. Maria wore an off-shoulder dress for her birthday party, drank alcohol. Drunk Maria dancing with a handsome guy meanwhile a bell rang. Her aunt opens the door and her parents were on the gate and she passes a crafty smile to her father welcoming them to come inside. Desperate parents with longing eyes holding gifts for her daughter searching her here and there. Maria’s aunt came and said look that girl in an off-shoulder dress with that boy is your daughter. His hands were numb, throat was dry and he couldn't call her name. He lowered his eyes down with shame after watching her daughter in that condition. Her shocked mother called her and slapped her. Maria became furious with her mother that she insulted her in front of her cool friends so she pushed her with full force that her mother fell. She started yelling at her parents why you came here. You poor, old fashion and ugly people mess my big day. She said to her father to pick up your ugly wife and took her with you.
Her parents with tears in their eyes came out of the house and started walking with small steps at the centre of deserted road regretting their upbringing. Suddenly a truck came and crushed her parents. Drunk Maria’s phone was ringing with an unknown no but she was ignoring phone calls (thinking maybe her parents calling her to talk).
Next morning when she woke up her aunt told her that your parents met with an accident yesterday and they are in the hospital right now. She ran towards the hospital but it was too late because they were dead and the doctor told her that we were calling you last night because both were alive and needed blood but you did not pick up that’s why we could not save them. The doctor says to her, when your father was in the ICU, he was continuously saying that my daughter will become a doctor one day.
Those words of the Doctor shocked her that she started crying loudly and went home to tell her aunt but her aunt said relax dear it was just a death of your parents who can never be able to give you such a lavish lifestyle like me. At that moment, she realized her mistake of ignoring her mother and came to know how cruel and heartless this rich life is. She called her friends and they all said the same that it was a bad incident.
Forget it. When she said that you guys are heartless and don’t know the meaning of parents so they kicked her out of their group and made her complain in front of her aunt that she said harsh words to them. Her aunt became angry and said to her you ruined my reputation. She kicked her out of her house. Now she was all alone sitting in the corner of the road whispering slowly. I looked into the dark pit of my life and found nothing but myself only.
