Durga puja holidays were over, I continued my tution class unknowingly the future Demon. Who had planned something bad for me.
Neeraj had a friend named Sagar. Who lived in Shiv Niranjan Homes which was situated beside our tuition class. One day when we were watching each other, I gave her a smile but she was silent and didn’t responded. Sagar saw us that we are watching each other but he didn’t reacted.
Next day Neeraj ignored me at school. I asked him the reason of this contempt. “Sagar loves her”, Neeraj replied. “Who..?” , I eagerly asked. “Gurpreet”, Neeraj said. “Who is she.. ?”, I asked.
“The window girl”, Neeraj told and went. ‘I didn’t even knew her name, but Neeraj knew her name. He didn’t told me, is she playing with my feelings’. I had many questions in my mind but had no one to answer it.
Thinking about the consequences I thought her to forget because Sagar was my senior and also had a good healthy body as compared to me.
Next day, “I will forget her, let her be happy in her life”, I said to Neeraj. He was silent like a water and as if I was throwing stones on stable water surface. Neeraj went from there.
That day didn’t went for tuition classes. I went to my brother and told him everything. “I think sagar will beat me”, I said to vinay. “I will put a long bamboo in his ass and kick him”, he said.
Those words made me very confident. I wanted sagar to confront me so that I could sort everything. Days past but I could only see anger in sagar’s eyes but he never confronted me.
I was promoted to the next class. I left my tuition classes and was planning to join to another teacher. I was promoted to grade 8. My class teacher was Shoba Nair and I was about to take tuition to her. I had a classmate Rohit and vishal . shoba miss lived in shiv niranjan homes.
Shoba miss had a son named Suraj.
One day we were waiting for rohit, just then a girl came and parked her bicycle in front of k.p sir tuition classes. She was highly fascinating, She had perfect curves. Vishal challenged me he said “ if you have guts then go and talk to her”. “ not now”, I replied.
She was very attractive. I wanted to talk her so I decided to wait there for her. I waited approximately one hour. She came out and took her bicycle. I suddenly followed her “what is your school’s name”, I asked her. “ Chinmaya(school name)”, she said. “you are in which school ?”, she asked me. I replied “Vig”. “what is your name ?”, I asked. “Akriti”,she said. “my name is Sushant”, I said.
She replied with a small humming voice. “where do you live ?”, I asked. “Barigora(place name)”, she said.
“can I come with you from tomorrow ?”, I asked her. “do you know my home ?”,she asked me.
“I will make my home towards your home now”, I told her. “ok”, she said.
We could chat further, but her home was nearby. “this is my home”, she said while slowing her bicycle. “ I will come tomorrow, Bye-Bye” ,I replied her and continued towards my home.
That day I was completely lost. I didn’t had any bad intensions for her not even any soft feelings then too I was very happy.
