Me Jyothi ( From Real Life )

Me Jyothi studying in high school.Last two days I was just thinking of myself,my environment and those people I liked or disliked.It all happened because of last Friday's incident.My mother and Ravi anna had a big fight in the morning.Me and Ramesh ( my little brother) was afraid.Ravi anna was fully drunken and he was scolding my mother with all those bad words, some of them I had heard from my mother.

We are staying in Lane Rooms ( Typical one room homes for the coffee workers) for the past 2 yrs.I don't remember my father, and I never bother to ask to my mother also.All my friends were telling that my mother is bad.Even sometimes I felt she is bad when she scolds me for nothing.Every evening we have visitors to our home.I really don't know who they were, and for what they are coming.It looks very strange as my life.Me and my brother usually sleep on the little veranda.
At first we were very scary of that, but no other options my mother had scolded me lots of time for this reason.Now we are used to it.Some times I had seen my mother crying, I don't know the reason but I always felt that she is feeling alone. Alone in this cruel world.

I have a dream, a beautiful dream that one day I will become a teacher so that I can save my mother and my little brother.I know that I have to struggle hard to reach my distant future goal.I wanted to study, go to school, make as many friends as I can.But the sword of reality is very sharp.Last week itself I skipped three days.
I had to go with my mother for work in Dorai's coffee estate and I don't like that work at all.In school also everybody teasing me, avoiding me, telling that your mother is BAD.I tried to cry lot of times,but my eyes are now dried even my heart.Last month Aiyya ( Land lord ) gave me money to pay the school fees.
My mother carries a big burden of lends.Most of the money went for her drinking habit.She usually drinks, that too a lot.I can see my mother in a happy mood when ever she is drinking that colorless liquid available in packet.

I never seen my father and mother never told me who was he.Some times I dream about having a father, who is like all my friends fathers.
Who will never scold me, give me toffees, good dresses.He should not drink packet ( Packet Arrack ).Sometimes I will be jealous to all those who are happy with their parents.
Today is Sonu Akka's birthday.Sonu Akka stays nearby.Me and Ramesh were waiting for this day.For next two days we will get some good food and we may get some clothes and money also.My mother is already gone there to clean that big house.I have never celebrated my Birthday and sometimes that makes me a sad kind of feeling.Suddenly I heard a voice calling me.Its Sonu Akka.I don't know how long I'm sitting like this.Its time to go.
