I first time see her when she is told to seat beside me… I just look at the teacher with what the hell look… She just sat beside me… Well i am not like fun loving cool guy… I always prefer my books than mobile and stupid loves… That doesn’t mean i have no friend… Surely i have… But only 2… Laksh and Ragini… Both are equal to me… Laksh a big flirt always seen to be flirting with some girls and my poor ragu burn in jealousy like hell… Then again fighting and at the end of the day for my astonishment they seen to be doing some little romance while waiting for me… I shook my head… And concentrate in the class…
She is not new comer as its not middle of sessions… But she has come after whole 3 weeks after starting our classes…
I look at her before leaving to canteen… She is just looking down thinking something deeply…
Well days passed… She is so much quiet and calm that she has no friend after… It’s not like she is a book worm… I have seen her sometime reading and maximum time staring at a fix point… Though she is a good student… She solves many problems… But something is missing…
It’s been 3 weeks she came… I heard our classmates often do gossip about her… And also makes fun of her… As she talks so less… Less kya… I hardly listen her voice…
One day… I enter in classroom… Saw her reading books… I sigh and sit beside her… Today i notice some changes in her… She is somewhat restless… Again and again she is looking at the watch… During classes also… And i notice a spark in her eyes… She is happy but for what… That i don’t know… When the bell rings before lunch time she rushes out of the class which seems very uncommon… I being so curious also follow her… And see her standing near gate… Looking here and there…. I frown… There a car came… A lady of mid 40 steps out… She happily hugs her tightly… I never see her so excited before… She happily drags that lady inside the college… My eyes also follow her… There she sits under a big tree… My trance broke with a tap on my shoulder i look back… I see ragini looking at me with narrow eyes…
I : what?? ??
Ragini : that supposed to be my question what??
I frowns… Then again look back to see her…. Ragini follows my gaze…
Ragini : who is she…
I looks at her : that girl who sits beside me… I told you right…
Ragini hit my head : duffer i know that… But who is that lady…
I : how can i know…
Ragini : hmm… That’s also a point…
Laksh came there : hey guys… I went canteen but you both were not there… What you both are doing here…
Ragini : look some one has come to meet with that girl…
Laksh also sees… : hmm so?? What we all are doing here… Chalo na… I am hungry…
We node…
After lunch break when we are going to our respective classes… I see her again coming to the class… With a sad face… We both enter class at a time and she sits on her place…
More 1 month passed…
I noticed not only a woman but a man also use to meet her twice in a week… And everytime i notice the same spark in her eyes and a smile near her lips…. But after their leaving she becomes sad again …
In our college ragging is prohibited… So our seniors started a new policy they didn’t rag us when we entered 1st time… They start to rag us now after 2.5 months…
Me and my frnds are standing in front of senior gang… They are taking our intro when a girl among them shouts : hey… Blue shalwar come here…
I look back find her scared like hell… With slow steps she comes forward…
One girl : what’s your name…
She stammer : ssswaaa… Swara… Swara bose
One guy : toh… Miss ssswaaa swara bose… What’s your father name?? And mother name??
One girl with a smirk : arey it’s not name its names… Actually she has 2 mothers two fathers…
Raglak and I look at them shocked… Then at her… Tears are rolling from her eyes…
Same girl : so… What their name is… What you call them papa no. 1 then papa no. 2…
All laughs… She was crying badly… I look around many students are seeing this or can say gulping this… With a low laugh… When we hard a strong voice and find one of our professors… Seniors run away in no time… Even all… She was just sitting there crying badly… I feel bad…
I don’t know what to do… I look at ragini who is seeing her with sad face… Ragini with slow steps goes to her… Then makes her stand holding her by shoulder… She with teary eyes looks at her… Then down… Laksh and i also go to her…
‘chalo swara… We have cla….’ i stop when she just runs out of the college…
Next day…
I enter in class but find my seat i mean our seat empty…
I waited for whole day… But she didn’t come…
This way 7 days passed she didn’t come… I don’t know why but everyday i waited for her and at the end of the i got sad…
After 7 days… I enter in class and a smile spread on my lips… As i see her sitting… I sit beside her but in next second i feels bad as i hear my classmates are gossiping about her…
Girl1 : arey don’t you know… Her father and mother got divorced and married to another person…
Boy1 : what?? Hahaha ha really…
Girl2 : arey look na… My father gives me 20k as pocket money… Then she has two fathers… Two mothers… Surely she gets a huge amount…
Boy : then toh… Treat banta h….
They laughs and gives hifi… I look at her… She is looking down… They come to her…
Boy : hey swara… We heard you have 2 mothers and 2 fathers…
Swara clutch her dupatta…
Girl: toh surely you get a huge amount pocket money…
Boy2: yes of course… Then why don’t you give us a treat… What say…
I was about to scold them but our teacher enters… They go to their seat….
Teacher : swara… Why were you absent??
Swara stands up : i was not well sir…
Teacher: hmm ok… But you missed many important class… Just see others copy… And han students.. After 5 days i will take a test so prepare for it… And it’s very important test… You have to get at least 80% and if you get then you can go for a trip which will arrange by our college… But you have to give a minimum amount of money… So if you want to go then study…
Class over… I look at her she is staring at my copy… I slowly push it towards her… She looks at me… Her big eyes… I just feel i will sink in it…
I help her to find the page from where she was absent…
I : here… You… Just copy it then return…
She nodes and starts to copy…
I : what happened to you??
She looks at me for once… Then at copy…
Swara : i was ill…
I : oh then… Now you are okay??
She just nodes… I don’t know how to interact
with girls… This is 1st time i am talking to a girl rather than rago…
Ragini and laksh come…
Laksh : hey dude… You didn’t come so we come here to take you…
I node… : ok chalo… (to swara) umm swara… I am going to canteen… When you will return this…
Swara very slowly : today itself… Thank you…
Ragini : hey swara… You also come na… Join us…
She nodes in no and murmur a thank you…
After 7 days…
Teacher : what is this… Maximum students fail… Why…
He shouts…
Teacher : sanskar maheshwary…
I stand up…
Teacher : well done 82.5%
I smile : thank you sir…
Teacher : miss swara bose…
She stands up… I Eagerly wait to know her results
Teach: 82%…good job…
She nodes… Only swara, rahul, shreya and me got above 80%… So we selected for that educational trip… We were asked to meet principal…
As we enter in princi’s room… I see raglak is already standing there with other students… They both get happy seeing me…
Princi tells about the trip… It seems very useful for us… We surely get to know many things… So we are just so excited… Princi asked us to submit 8k in 3 days… We nodes… But i see swara’s face pale… I frown then shrug..
Next day… I enter in college and find her sitting with that lady… I was passing when i hear there convo…
Swara : ma… I have 5k… Can you give 3k for the trip… Please…
Mother: i am so sorry swara… Wo you know na viki… Your brother become so stubborn… Yesterday he asked for a remote control car… It’s so expensive… He has ordered me to come with that… Or he will not eat… So i have to buy… And now if i have to buy that so how can i give money to you… Ask from your father ok??
She just nodes looking down… I feel angry… She can buy a expensive remote control but can’t give money to her daughter for her educational trip… I shook my head and headed to class… After sometime she enters and sit beside me…
At afternoon…
Lucky and me are waiting for rago… There she comes…
She sits with a annoyed face murmuring something…
Lucky : rago my darling…
She was eating thinking deeply… We both look at each other…
Laksh : Ragini… Sweety…
Ragini with irritated expression : kia hai??
We took a back…
I : what happened… Rago..
Ragini close her eyes and takes a deep breath… : nothing… You know swara’s father has come… She asks 3k money for trip… But he denied… And you know what the reason… They are going Singapore for trip so he can’t give… Huh… Poor swara… She was in verge of crying… I really felt bad… How can he do this to her…
I sighs : not only he… Her mother also denied…
I tell them everything…
Ragini : now how will she manage…
I shrug my shoulder…
After 2 days…
After class… I was going to raglak… I stop looking at swara… She is talking to sir…
Sir: miss swara… All submitted money… Wjen will you give…
Swara with chocked voice : i am sorry sir… But i can’t give the amount… I can’t come
Sir : ok… As you wish…
She nodes… I look at her she is wiping tears… She was about to go… I stop her…
I: swara wait…
She turns back… I go to her… While calling Ragini and laksh… Both in no time reach there…
I : swara… We can help you… You give the 5000 and we will give 3000…
I look back at ragini and laksh… Both smiles and nodes…
I : guys 1000…
Both give… And i also add… I forward to her… She looks at it then us…
She steps back and nodes in no : thank you but i can’t take…
