Career day ; it is the day various adults enter our school grounds to counsel us about various careers out there . As if that could actually help us . Maybe it could be helpful for someone but not me .
All the students are sitting in the auditorium . I am sitting besides Serena who is apparently still ignoring me . Should I try to talk to her ? But she is very scary . I have to do
something .
" Stop staring at me . ", Serena while looking at the stage .
" I am not staring at you . ", I said .
" I am sorry . What I did was wrong ? ", I told her .
But she didn't say anything . Man , she is so stubborn .
" So , my dear friends . Today is the special day --- ".
Guess who is the announcer : Its none other
than Sam . Yes , the weirdo .
Let us think about science for a while . Sound , it is a from of wave . It travels slower than light in any medium . Its speed is highest in solid substances .
AFTER A WHILE :
" Now I request Myra of 11th grade to come here and give speech about importance of literature . ", Sam .
What ? He didn't inform me at all . This is nothing like what I promised him . What am I supposed to say on the stage when I haven't even prepared anything ?
When I got on the stage , he gave me mic and whispered .
" You know what you have to say , right ? ", he said .
I mouthed , " Grow up . " And he smiled like an idiot .
" Literature is an important part of life . It was because of literature that all fields of science and philosophy came into existence ---- ", I blabbered whatever came into my mind , " Lastly , I think l-l-literature is more important than science . Since it is what distinguishes us from other beings . "
When I said this , there was murmuring in the crowd while Sam was smirking as I handed over the him mic . 😏😏😏😏
He is childish as well as idiot .
Whatever , I am going out of the auditorium .
AFTER A WHILE LUNCH BREAK STARTED :
I am hungry . I have to eat something from the cafeteria . Looks like programmes ended in the auditorium as everyone is in the cafeteria . I will sit on the clean chair 🪑 and table .
I should bring lunch from home .
" Since you spoke very well . Here is your gift . ",Sam with a smile .😊😊😊
" What is wrong with you ? You have a severe disorder , don't you ? ", I told him in a serious tone while he laughed alot .
" Just open the gift . ", Sam .
The gift wrapper is golden in color but its not sparkly . It is made from special paper .
" I don't trust you . ", I said .
" Oh , come on . Don't be such a baby . ", Sam .
After thinking for a while I decided to open it . It was rectangular in shape .
" You don't even know how to open a gift wrapper , Miss engineer ." , Sam .
" I know ---", I said as I opened the ribbon and opened the gift . Finally . It was a book .
" Its my book . ," Sam .
" You wrote it ? ", I asked .
" Yeah its my first book . ", he said .
I looked at the book . Its cover was hard and red in bloody red in color . The book was titled as
' MUSSNIF ; THE WRITER'S PEN ' .
I looked at him and raised my brows in confusion .
" Mussnif is the urdu word . It means writer .I have personified a pen in this book . It is pretty good . Open it . " Sam .
I opened the book to see milky white paper .
Surprisingly , I felt that there was something inside the book .
"There is something inside the book . ", I told Sam .
" I know --- ",he said and smiled once again 😊😊😊. Seriously , what is wrong with him today ?
When I opened the book , I saw a pair of silver anklets . There small bells attached to anklets and the word ' FATE ' was engraved on it .
" I don't know when I saw it at the shop . I wanted to give it to you . ", Sam .
" Anklets . ", I hummed .
" Fate , fate is what brought us together
Fate is what made me see you
It was fateful that I saw you
It is fateful that I know you
And when I knew ;
I felt something
I knew there and then
That I fell for you ...", Sam recited the poem .
Oh my God . What is he saying ? What is wrong with him . I am so embarrassed and flustered while he is just smiling . This is the first time that I have noticed his eyes . They are black in colour . There is nothing but darkness in them but those eyes are sparkling .
" Don't think too much about the misfortunes in your life as it was just a fate . You didn't do anything wrong but it will be wrong to give up on yourself and your life . So turn your fate around by fighting against all hardships instead of saying that .... ' And it was all a fate ' . "
I want to say something but I can't . I am dumbfounded . Seriously , I knew that writers were psychos but this is too much . Then he stood up ...
" I have to attend the class . ", Sam as he left .
Oh yeah , I also have to attend the class but I am already tired .😫😫😫 . My mind is exhausted . I should put the book and anklets in the bag .
" I liked your speech . You are an eloquent speaker . " , Amara .
No , not her . I am already annoyed right now .
" Thank you . ", I said .
" But I don't agree with you . I think science is more important . In fact human society has progressed because of science . Hence science is more important than Literature is more vital than any other social science . ", Amara rambled .
'Oh shut up Amara . Please shut up .' 🙄🙄🙄🙄
" O--O - Ok ...", Amara with wide eyes .
Only then I realised that I shouted at her .
But then I also realised that I shouted little too loudly because everyone else is staring at me . Then some gay from the back shouted .
" Very good , Myra . From now on you are our hero . He got up and saluted me in respect . "
While everyone else laughed loudly .
Oh no , Amara is glaring at me .I think I might be in trouble .
