flashback...

The laburnum top is silent, quite still in the afternoon yellow September sunlight. A few leaves yellowing, all its seeds fallen.

Till the goldfinch comes, with a twitching chirrup. A sudden, a startlement, at a branch end...

"The laburnum is a short tree with hanging branches, yellow flowers, and poisonous seeds and goldfinch is a small singing bird with yellow feathers on its wings" Mrs. Tiwari explained in her cheerful English accent.

Screaming sound of other class boys playing football came from the playground. While some girls sat under the huge banyan tree, others played badminton and basketball.

It was the beginning of the winter season so it was a little hot after the lunch break resulting in every student's jacket tied around their waists.

While all the students of grade 11 suppressed their yawns, our Eklavya was no different, in fact, he was one step ahead. He was sleeping peacefully on the last bench.

"Ma'am, may I come in?" A very sweet voice interrupted Mrs. Tiwari's teaching session.

"Yes darling" Mrs. Tiwari allowed her in her cheerful voice.

Having enough sleep Eklavya stretched his arms yawning, waking up. He saw a small glimpse of a small girl in two ponytails. But by the time he was fully awake, she was gone after taking the duster.

She was new to the school. He knew almost every student in the secondary section because he was the vice-captain.

Few hours into the day, he came to know that this 12-year-old girl is his father's new secretary's daughter, who lives in the mahal premises itself.

And few days into the month, he became friends with her. His little brother was a nerd, there is no way he would even come out of his room, so Nain was someone he could spend time with.

He used to sit in her room with Sitara and watch Nain dance. She was too good at dancing for a 12-year-old. Sitara would jump with her teddy bear and cheer her Didu while Eklavya would sit silently and watch.

"Come let me teach you" one day out of the blue Nain pulled him from the bed he was sitting on.

"No no I don't know all this" he shook his head trying to pull back but she was too stubborn.
