Not Your Fairytale

33.MERIII BANGAALAN

"Have you completed your MBBS Shritaanjana?"
"Umm yes sir"
"So what about PG?"
"I left it"
"Why?"
"I can't handle the pressure.It takes a toll on me sir"
"She will complete her studies if she wants sir"
Their teacher didn't ask them any further questions.They talked about an hour.
"Enjoy your stay here"
"Here's the room key Ranvijay room number 69"
Sanjana looked at him amused.
"Are we staying here?"
"Surprise"
She passed him a smile.
They were passing through the corridors of the school.

Class 8th A

She went inside the class.
She saw the students scoreboard.
Her name was inscribed there.
2012-1st rank
Shritaanjana Banerjee
"Topper" he said.
"Because of you"

[Flashback starts]

Ranvijay bhaiya aapke liye call aaya hai?
(Ranvijay brother someone has called you)
He went near the reception.
And picked up the phone.
"Hello papa"
"How's your study going on?"
"It's going good"
"How is Adi?"
"He is fine."
"Hmm... Vishwajeet's daughter Shritaanjana has got admission in your school.She ll come today along with her parents.Take care of her."
"Yes papa"
"Papa I am selected for nationals football team....hello papa....hello"
The call was hanged.
He kept the phone and went back to his room.

In Football ground

"Are you a care taker?"
"Adiiiii"
"We are not able to take care of ourselves and we have to take care of her as well"
"When is your interstate hockey match?"
"On this Sunday"
"Bhai can I call papa?"
"No he is busy "
"You talked to him today?"
"Yes"
"I thought he will talk to me as well"
"Adi he was really busy I also talked to him only for a minute."
"Bhai it's your boards year"
"Hmm so"
"You ll top the school again.Bhai what if I fail this time in some subjects.I didn't put much concentration this time in my studies I was busy with hockey."
"Digu...Adi...look here...you are my champ...Adi...even if you don't make it I ll not let anything happen to you"
"Ewww stop being so emotional "
"Seriously?"
"Long drive ?????"
"Go and play"
Digvijay grinned.
"Bhaiii" (he gave Ranvijay a flying kiss)o
"Yuckkkkk "
But he chuckled.He took the responsibility of his younger brother.
For him Digvijay is his priority.He is the only one he has got here along with his two chaddhi buddy yaar(close friends).
Digvijay is not an easy child.He is the child who has cacooned himself in a shell who opens up only to few people.He doesn't shows his emotions easily in front of people.He always looks rude to people but actually he is not.He is child at heart which has been killed.He opens up to me not in front of anyone else not in front of bua dadi or papa.Since mumma left I am his only sanctuary and for me he is someone whom I can take care of.I like taking up his responsibilities.I remember how brutally papa used to beat him in anger...its all because of her.My mother is the worst thing that has ever happened to us.

I wish I never had her in my life if she had to leave us like this.

Next day

I was at my football practice.

Ranvijay principal has called you in his office.

As I went inside my eyes got fixed ,a girl with big and beautiful eyes , forehead covered with her bangs,sharp and pointed long nose,puffy cheeks,thin pink lips was sitting.She wore a white coloured sleeveless t-shirt and blue denim shorts beneath.Her hair were straight till her butt.
A man was sitting beside her...it was my father's friend Vishwajeet uncle.I couldn't believe the girl sitting in front of me is his daughter.That cute little girl has grown up.Her body was growing I could see it.I realised not only me she has also been looking at me continuously without breaking eye contact.
