vera: baba now you tell me that what should i do baddi maa is not ready to listen to me, i really don't wanna go to school

baba: but according to me you should try at least who knows may be you will be able to start your life again

vera sigh while looking at the sky

vera:i don't know anymore its not like as if i have any other choice

baba: here

he said passing her an envelope

vera: what is this?

she opened it and found a few thousand rupees she sigh and put it all back and return it to him

vera: i can't take it sorry baba, but

baba: ok then

he said while passing her a piece of paper, and taking envelope back from her , vera grab it with confusion

vera: now what is this?

baba: i knew you will not take money from me the school in which your going come under top 10 school and which organise the scholarship test if you clear this scholarship test not only your whole fees will be reimbursed but you will also get an admission in national university of yardsehr that too free of cost

vera: baba you must be kidding this all sounds like a dream taking admission in national university of yardshehar is not easy that too for an average student like me , and my marks of this semester was also very low

baba: but isn't it is a dream that all you need to keep going for

vera: but baba its last date to apply has also gone

baba: that you leave on me, just fill this form and return it to me and rest i will handle all of it

vera nod and his baba smile at her

vera: thankyou so much baba you always reduce my problems to half i owe so much to you i don't even know how to pay you back

she said in a low tone

baba: just promise you will not ever give up on yourself and if you will ever face problem instead of dealing it with yourself you will inform me , like you skip school this time without informing me you will not do it again

vera nod and her baba pat her head

next day

vera was running late for school as bell has already rung which she heard on her way, she start running so that she could reach before the main gets closed, she was panicking as she needs to find the staff room too , she went to the main gate and see teacher scolding a couple of students for being late

vera: oh gosh i am already late on my first day,if i go from main gate for sure i am going to receive good scolding

she give it a thought for a moment and chooses to climb the back wall of school to enter the schools she trew her school bag and then climbs the wall but when she climb and sit on wall her eyes pop up as her bag land on someone's head, but fortunately it was her first day and she didn't bring too many books, but the problem was not this the problem was her steel flask( thermos) that was filled with soup rather than hot water thanks to her grandma who cared way too much for her granddaughter in winters

the main purpose of that bottle was to keep vera warm in winter but if was slightly open and currently, it was warming

someone's ................probably head

vera looked at the guy whose head and the coat was filled with corn soup and she didn't really want to but she end up laughing at him and then she jump off the wall and couldn't stop her laughing and that guy passed her a death glare

guy: do you have any conscience left?

the first thing in the morning you gave me a soup shower and now you are laughing at the mess you created

he said in an angry and cold tone but vera didn't flinch

vera: (While laughing) sorry I didn't mean it but you are looking way too funny what should I do

she again starts laughing she reaches to her pocket and pulled her handkerchief

vera: I am really sorry

that boy didn't say anything and start cleaning his court, vera realized she is getting late so she quickly picked her bag and was about to walk away when someone pulled her back from her bag, she truned back and saw that boy grabbing her bag, vera raised her eyebrow at this

vera: what?

Boy: are you running away from your responsibility?

Vera: its not my mistake that you were standing there, and I've already said sorry so bye
