- next morning -
"Beta uth jao! Nahi toh aap late ho jaoge! " Shila aunty shakes me.
"Hm?" I rub my eyes waking up.
" Oh no! " I looked at the clock and run towards the bathroom. Then brushed my teeth and got ready for school.
I walked out to the room and packed my bag. Then went out without having breakfast.
I checked the date and remember first class was english Today. The class may have started by now.
Reaching the school I rushed towards the class.
" May I come in? " I asked breathing heavily. Miss Mallik looks over her eyebrows furrowed.
" Are you ok? " She asked slowly.
" Yeah.. just.. ran " I answered.
She nods. " Come and sit down "
Everyone else was writing something so I looked at her and she walks down to my desk and said.
" So I want you to write an paragraph about yourself. I know it's childish but I want atleast 5 lines. So write about what you like or don't like or whatever makes you happy or sad and all. " Looking at me.
I nod.
It was only then when she was looking at me I noticed her eyes were hazel brown colour, and there was a shine in her eyes. Oh, she is really beautiful.
She walked away from my desk and I took out a pen and started writing.
A few minutes later I walked up to her table and folded the page and placed it on the table. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Then I went back to my desk. I only wrote two lines about myself and it was just how old I'm and I like reading and traveling.
The class ends and everyone gets up and leaves for the practical class. As I walk past Miss Mallik's table she stopped me.
" Can I talk to you for a second? " She asked.
" Yeah sure..."
She pulls out my page where I've written those two lines and handed in to me.
" I said atleast five lines , does it look like five lines to you? " She asked.
I tilt my head trying to think of what to say. I looked at her and she pressed her lips as she was trying not to smile.
" I want you to write more ." She looked away. I think she was smiling.
" Yes mam. " I said without any expression and she smiled rolling her eyes.
I decided not to go for the practical classes Today instead go to the library and work on the paragraph.
I take a seat in the library at a table and took out a pen for writing.
A few minutes later I had nothing written down. I saw Miss Mallik came in with some books in her hand.
She didn't notice me as she set down the books on the table of the librarian.
" What are all these Haseena? " The librarian, Anam asked.
" The books I took from the library " she sighs fixing her hair.
She looked around and noticed me. She started walking towards my table and smiled.
" Can I sit? " She asked.
" Yes " I nodded.
She sat down beside me and looked at the page.
" Are you finding it difficult? " She looked at me as she rested her chin on her knuckles.
" I suppose, I mean I don't know what to write and you want atleast five lines. " I huff, she nodded and took my pen out of my hand.
" Well.... You could start by saying like you did in the park that night to ease your stress or something like that."
I shrugged and dropped my head.
" Come on, look up. " She said. I groaned annoyed and looked up.
" Write about you, it can be anything. Your friends, family, things you love or hate or people like your girlfriend about whom you were telling me. "
She handed me the pen and I started writing and she watched.
" Hey Babe , you said you would have lunch with me today! Then why are you here? It's annoying. " Mishri asked walking towards the table staring at me then to Miss Mallik.
" Miss Mallik. Hi, I'm Mishri " she grinned at Miss Mallik.
" Yeah I figured, I heard a lot about you."
" All good I hope"
" Hmm" Miss Mallik chuckled and stood up.
" Please hand me that by the end of the day, five lines" Miss Mallik smiled and I nodded. Then she walked away towards Anam.
" Pata nahi kyu mujhe wo thodi ajib lag rahi hai " Mishri said looking at the retiring figure of Miss Mallik.
" She's nice and beautiful " I said unknowingly.
