I could feel the Sun’s rays for a while before I heard my mother shouting, “Wake up, Naina!”
After shouting for a while, she barged into my room to turn off the fan, forcing me to get out of my bed. Struggling to open my eyes, I looked at her, and she was already dressed.
Noticing me waking up, she asked, “Listen, I can’t pack your lunch today. Can you eat in your college canteen?”

Closing my eyes, I replied, “Yes, maa. I can eat in my college canteen. Can you turn on the fan, please?”
Pulling off my blanket, my mother asked, “You know where I’m going, right?”
Triggered, I shouted, “To the office, Mom!”
Following my answer, she spanked me. When I shouted in pain, she reminded me, “I’m going to Ishitha’s wedding along with our neighbours.”
