It is a story of one Sunday........
On that day ....I was little busy due to my coming examination..
I left my bed at 7 o`clock when my mom came to my room as usual with a cup of tea and broke my dream...It was 17th time  when I could not complete my dream ..Because last 17 day my mom came at same time, break my dream for which I was little curious about this incomplete special dream.............
          By the way I am ......simply....me, a simple daydreamer live in a small town after I was born before 21 years ago. I don’t know whether it was my fate or not that my father lost his job at the same time when I was born. Though he lost his job he organised a big party (?) spending almost 100 bucks to welcome first girl of this family after three generation and after that I have been living with them sharing only pain...
                     I made three friends as growing up..No need to say that i was the poorest among them..They always use branded things whereas I only go to the 2nd hand market for these accessories though I don’t say about these things to them. One with a stylish umbrella always is Rimi, whom I met in the first day of my school life. It`s important to say that though we are poor my father sent me to a private school caring about my study and it is the most expensive gift which I got from my family. Rimi`s father is a top class business man of our small town. Rimi spend most of her time (also money) in a beauty parlour and was always more sensitive about dressing...then if you look properly then you will see a fatty girl always arguing without a topic; she is Meghna. Her father was a wrestler before he got job in income tax depts. I think her aim in life is to buy lots of chips, eating continuously without stopping. Her weight is almost double of me. She is from a Bengali family originally from Calcutta....I first saw her when I was in high school, since then we are friends. Lastly Rashmi, what can I say about her, she is the prettiest girl of our college born with a golden spoon.... she always come in an expensive car. It is a gift from her father at her 18th birthday...though we are not similar at all we became friends...
          Though I am the poorest among them but my marks are somehow good compared to them. It is the most likely part of my life... Almost half a month ago we met for last time because we got study live on that day...We bunked our last English class of our college life and went to library so that we can talk peacefully. We started to discuss about our coming examination.. Suddenly Rashmi shouted with excitement that we should go for a long trip after the examination...But no one had idea where we should go. Rashmi told that we should go to Agra to see the Tajmahal. But Rimi resisted and commented that she had already seen Tajmahal two times. After long discussion it was decided that we would go to see the old temple situated at the top of a mountain in Shimla. Rashmi told that she would arrange all the necessary things for this trip...However the clock of the library indicated that it was time to go and we finished our last meeting before examination unwillingly.....
...........after that 16 days passed with same routine. Wake up at 6, read books up to noon, doing all the homework and sleep at 8.30 due to high rate of kerosene, an unusual boring life. And following the same routine I am in the reading table now.. i am little angry today ..it is only for my poor condition. Though I like to study at night I cannot read at night. Because my father cannot afford cost of expensive electricity also Kerosene .So i have to wake up at 6 always. Anyways may be i become little emotional expressing my situation. However i open my Economics books and trying to concentrate my mind between mode ,mean ,median etc.
          ........................our exams had finished before our expectation. and at last we got our vacation. So we decided that we would go to the temple at the next day.
  .......I go to Rashmi`s home at 7 ‘o clock in the morning on that day. Because we decided that we would start our journey before 8. I wear my best dress which is a gift from my maternal uncle. we rented a car because Rashmi`s father did not allow Rashmi to drive her car up to Shimla and there is only a few bus to Shimla today because today is Sunday. And generally some drivers want to skip long journeys on Sunday. After two hours journey we reached the mountain above which lies our destiny. After this point there is no road for car. so we tell the taxi driver to wait for us until we come back. After almost 35 minutes walk we reach the top point i.e. the temple surrounded by forest. This temple is almost forbidden, because there is a rumour that this temple has a secret room that can lock or open your future. And also the only Priest doesn’t come always. So only a few people come here. Although it is a forbidden temple its natural scenery is amazing. There is a lot of rock statue in the temple wall which indicate that there was some amazing artist in ancient time who drown this amazing statue of life, god etc. we reach the temple almost 11 ‘o clock. The priest is not here till now. we entered inside the temple. There are some statues almost covering every Hindu god. We pray them and enter in the second room. There are lots of flower on that room and there is no door. We stepped backward to explore the other parts. And suddenly Meghna slipped over the flowers and all flowers dropped above her. We help her to stand... and step to back door..And that time Meghna shouted that there is a door behind the flower. We looked at each other and entered the room pushing the hidden door. It was a dark room. There is no way that light can enter here. Rimi switched on her mobile flashlight and we step carefully. Suddenly we hear a sound which is coming behind from us. We look back and see that the door using which we enter the room it is disappeared...we frightened. How will we go back to home? We are may be locked in this room and we will may be never see our family. Rashmi already started t o cry. We all thought that it is the end of our life..However I inspect the room thoroughly and see that there is another door. I told it to them and entered the next room. In this room we see a strange thing. It is a long hall room .and there is almost 50-60 similar door in this room. I saw a long table with a letter...I picked up the letter. From the letter we come to know that there is only one door using which we can go outside. If we enter in wrong room using wrong door we can never go outside and die here. And there was a quiz for us. It said that the most uncommon door will lead us to outside. Already we all lost our confidence .We are frightened. Meghna, Rimi, Rashmi looked at me and requested to save them. I have no other way but to solve this quiz. I noticed every door and try to find the uncommon door .At last I saw a door which was somehow different from others. We have no other option but to enter that room. We entered slowly through that door. We saw again another room which was also a long room. We noticed the room to go outside but can’t find a way. I am started to think that i select a wrong door..All my friends started to cry. There is no one who can save us from this situation. Suddenly a ray of light appears and we saw a bright screen before us. Suddenly a photo of Rimi is appeared and we see her picture with her parent in a hospital. They wore some old cloth...They were happy though they were poor. Then suddenly Rimi`s father got a big order from a Multinational company. It was unexpected for him. Their happiness increased then before. But as time passed her father started to drink and beat her mother. There life started to change. Love and happiness were disappeared from their life. Money occupied all the emotional things. Though all live in the same house but they had hardly talk one time in a week..Lonely ness filled their life.We looked at to Rimi and her crying face. Then Rashmi`s face is appeared in the screen. We saw her childhood life with her mother. Her mother was as beautiful as her. Her mother take care of her so much. Rimi was only 6 years old when her mother divorced her father and married another man and shifted to America. Since then she is very lonely...Rashmi wept loudly after saw her mother again.
        I was still thinking why our life flash back is coming before us....
Then Meghna`s picture is appeared. Her father was a characterless man. He married two wives and had illegal relation with one of his colleague. One day her husband saw them in bad position and suspended him for one year. Though he get back his job but lost his respect. Meghna couldn’t go to school on that year due to her father. Her classmate avoided her always....
At last my picture is appeared. I saw my father happy face when he first brought me from hospitals to home. Though he lost his job but he was busy with me. He ignored his mother and did not meet her boss but spent all the day with me. Gradually we became poor but my fathers care me as much as before.  we used second hand cloth but pure love. We are poor but i saw happiness in my parent`s face. Suddenly my mind filled with happiness and lost my angry mood.......
        ..............Suddenly I feel someone touch my shoulder. My mother is shouting and called father because i didn’t give reply when she called me for breakfast...My father keep his hand at my shoulder and call me...At last I wake up. I was sleeping all this time. I did not know When I reached the old temple from my Economics books...I stand up and hug my parent. They are little surprised....But I didn’t tell them about my dream. I realised why I saw my past life. May be my inner soul tried to save me. At last I realised true value of love than money. I realised that all rich people are not happy and feel guilty for my reasonless anger.........
   I got my special Sunday which help me to face the real life.............now it’s your turn............
