Times flies off as soon as the autumn steps in. The day was cold and the night was darker than usual.

‘Pinky… go to bed early and don’t be awake till the midnight’, said Mrs. Cephal to Pinky before they both have left. Pinky was scrolling through her mobile phone and did not give ear to what her mother told her. It was already ten o’clock in the night and when her parents were with her, Pinky would be forced to go to sleep by this time. Pinky was getting tired after sometime but did not go to sleep.
Pinky had suddenly started to think about random stuffs and it was already midnight. By the time when she had started to think, her thoughts had started to shuttle from present to the past and also the hard times of her life came in front of her in the middle of the night. Suddenly she fell asleep and it was already four o’clock in the morning. ‘I feel nauseated and unwell. I have important tasks and an interview today’, said Pinky to herself and started to get ready for college.
Again the scars which were inflicted upon her in the past and present, were hindering her phase and energy in getting ready for the day. Then, she had received a call from her mother, ‘Pinky… come to the hospital immediately. Your grandfather had passed away’, said Mrs. Cephal to Pinky. ‘But mama… I have an interview at the college today’, said Pinky to her mother. ‘I am not asking you to be with us for the whole day. Just pay a visit and then you may leave’, said Mrs. Cephal. Her memories were disturbing her for the whole of the time until Pinky reached the hospital.
The reason for asking Pinky to go to bed early was just because she was not in good health and because of her physical conditions her mental health was also not in good form. Since, she did not listen to her mother she is suffering now.
Finally, Pinky had reached the hospital and was received by one of her aunt whose father had passed away. ‘How are you Pinky?’, asked the aunt to Pinky. ‘I am fine aunty. How are you?’, asked Pinky. ‘I am fine. Thank you for coming and you can leave once it’s time for you. Your mom told us that you are having an interview today. All the best and do well’, said aunt to Pinky.
Pinky was quite surprised to see her family members in a calm and composed manner even amidst the air of sadness which was surrounding them. ‘You may leave now Pinky. Do well in your interview’, said Mrs. Cephal to Pinky and Pinky left the place immediately as she was getting late for her college.
On her way to college Pinky was thinking about the mannerism of her family members and relatives and also felt her sorrow about her past was vanishing away. ‘I would let go of the scars. Let me just ignore them and move on my path’, said Pinky to herself.
It was almost time for her interview and her sickness had vanished away forever. Pinky outperformed in the interview and she was the only person who got selected. The moment she had started to ignore her painful scars infested upon her by her painful past she became an individual who was able to utilise her full potential towards her journey of success.
