POV: KRISH
It's friday. The sun filled my spacious and neat room with warm light, waking me up from my sleep. It's 6 a.m. and as per my usual routine, I wake up, freshen up, change my nightwear into gym wear and by 6:30 a.m. I go in my black mercedes on the way to my gym.
I spend about an hour and a half in there listening to punjabi, hindi and english songs and working hard on my abs and biceps, I like to stay in shape. I leave the gym around 8 a.m. and by 8:30 a.m. I am ready for my office in a simple navy blue suit that looks good on me and highlights my features. I have breakfast and by 9 a.m. I leave for my office which starts at 9:30 a.m.

My alarm's ringing for the 5th time and my mom woke me up 2 times before and the 3rd time, my mom goes straight for action with water all over my face and says her classic dialogue, "Hey bhagwan, yeh aalsi ladki, kabhi nhi time pr uthti hai, na kabhi nashta krti hai," (Oh god, this girl, she never wakes up on time, she is so lazy and never has her breakfast.). I wake up, stop the 5th alarm and with some sarcasm say, "Uth gyi priya mata shri, bhagwan ji ko complaint krna bnd krdo abh," (I woke up, my dear mother, now you can stop complaining to God) and suddenly fear takes over me, "Shit, shit, shit, not again," I say realizing, my class starts in 30 mins.
I hurriedly brush, bathe, basically freshen up and leave just 5 mins before the class starts, I haven't had my breakfast yet again and it's the 3rd time this week and if I'm late again, I have detention. On my way, in the auto (because that's the fastest way in traffic), I chat with Aarohi, my bestfriend since childhood and she warns me how today might not be the day to get away from the teacher's wrath.

As usual, I attend meetings, review contracts and files and then its lunchtime before I knew it. Ved my bestfriend, who is also my business partner, joins me for lunch, we talk about work and the new contracts but today my father has asked me to come home early tomorrow for some important meeting, which I don't want to attend and Ved as always positive is encouraging me to go, and I half-heartedly agree and we wonder what it could be about.
I come home by 8 p.m. have dinner, and after reviewing today's work and studying the new contracts and clients and the progress of my business rivals, I listen to music and still thinking about what it could be tomorrow that my father would want to talk about, I go to sleep by 10 p.m. and I dream the same dream I do, which is rare, my beloved mom's car crash that occurred 10 years ago.
POV: ANVI
Today was doom, the teacher was angry and he has decided to call my mom next time I get late and this time I get detention in which I have to do 2 essays (each about 2-3 pages long) on the topic taught this week and submit them on Monday. This wasn't the worst part tho, the teacher also humiliated me in front of the class and my mom said she wants to talk about something serious and Aarohi and I wondered and she tried to calm me down but I am kinda stressed because it's something important and serious because it's a family meeting and my dad wants to talk.
My dad is usually pretty busy and these days it seems like business isn't doing well, we could see him working overtime, stress lines on his face and dark circles deepened under his eyes. As we chat about the topic, we go to our respective homes and I get back to my essays, researching, writing and proofreading. I sleep by 12 a.m., which means I'll prolly wake up late again but this time, it's different, I'm not gonna let that happen.
