Chapter 4 Getting back to home

**Nancy's POV**

7 years later:

The alarm clock beside my bed rings like hell. I toss and turn around the bed being ignorant to turn it off.

"Nancy! What the hell? Please, stop that damn alarm clock!" Mia shouts at me.

I reach out my hands to that silly alarm clock that is ringing beside my bed and turn it off and wake up.

I am on my sando and pajamas with my below the shoulder length hair dishevelled like hell.

I look like a devil waking up from dream.

"Why do you turn on that alarm when it has already been a year that we have left the college," she shouts at me.

"I am used to it. I don't get to wake up with its sound," I say and walk out of my bed.

I quickly get washed up and prepare some light breakfast.

"So, how's your new formula working? You have been working so hard for it?' she asks me.

" It's almost done. One final touch and my life long first ever cosmetic formula will be out in market. Trust me this is going to sell lots and going to be huge,' I say as I put the sandwich on my mouth.

Honestly, I had been working really hard on this since last two years. Being a chemistry student was really tough and being a cosmetician is even more tough.

I quickly changed outfit and rushed to the bus station. I need to work my ass off.

I studied my whole life like hell and now, I am working my ass off right now.

I get a call while I wait for the bus.

"Nancy, you remember what day is today, right?" he asks me.

How can I ever forget my mother's death anniversary?

"Yes, dad," I say with a painful voice.

It's been two years without her. Breast cancer and it could be such a huge disease. I hate the fact that she hid it from me such a long time and I regret that I didn't even get much of time to spend with her.

My dad's home is about three hours away from here. I have been staying here with Mia renting a room, since last two years. My only brother stays with him.

The bus stops right in front of me and I rush to it. I have saved quite sum of money. Next month, I am going to buy a car and I don't need to wait for the bus.

"Good morning mam!" I get greeted by the office assistant. I work here as a chief chemist in here. I am always focused in my work so much that I rarely have time to chit chat with other staffs and know about their personal life.

You call me workaholic and I am literally abusing my whole body like hell but that was the only solution I had long time ago and now I am habituated to it.

After my work hours, I directly went to supermarket to buy some stuffs for mom's anniversary.

After whatever happened, year's before I quite hate to go to my dad's home. It was a bad memory and I don't want to remember it.

After quick shopping, I rush towards the bus station and get a bus to the home.

Two high school kids are in front of me and they are quite lovable to each other. But I am getting disturbed with it.

"Excuse me! What the hell you kids are doing? Can you please stop whatever you are doing? You are making me sick," I shout at them.

Both of them give me weird look and move to back the last seat.

"What the hell is wrong with her? What's her problem seriously?" they murmur but I tuck in my earphone and close my eyes and get to sleep.

"I love you Nancy," this voice keeps on repeating on my head.

"It was a fucking joke. Do you think I will ever love you. You are a joke yourself Nancy," this statement rings on mind along with it.

What the fuck!

Why am I even thinking about these all? Is it because I am going back to home? Is that why?
