~~~~~~~~~~Harini~~~~~~~~~
I sat in my place and wiped my tears.
No Harini.. Don't cry. Be Brave and Strong. Why should I cry for this silly matter? Just ignore what he said.
I composed myself and came back to normal. The rest of the class went good without any disturbance. Mr.A did not target me after that.
The bell rang and the attendance was taken.
"2002"
He called out my number. I remained silent. Anyway he would mark me as absent. Then why to answer it. I am going to complain about him to HOD if in case he does the same thing again. I am giving him a last chance.
"2002" he called my number again and remained silent. Meghana tried to lift my hand to respond him.
He looked at me. I too looked at him. In fact I want to glare at him. But I controlled myself and said 'present' sir.
"2002 - absent" he went on.
There he goes. Mr. Vikram - The arrogant.
He left the class taking the attendance. It is the last class for the day and everyone where excited to leave the class. I heaved a long sigh. Today it feels so incomplete and boring.
"Hey Harini..don't feel sad. If he goes overboard let us complain to HOD"
"ya.. its not that if we are 1st year, whatever we do is wrong. If you have really done something wrong, he as a Professor should help you understand your mistake rather than having vengeance on you. " said Samyuktha.
"Don't worry. I believe the whole class will support you. Everyone knows how unfair he is to you. If needed, we will even form a strike against him to dismiss him from his job" Meghana added , she too hated Vikram Sir I believe.
I looked at both of them. Oh my so good friends. I am really blessed to have such good friends to support me.
"girls.. why so serious? I am not taking any of what he said in to account" I said
"Don't lie Harini. We saw you wipe your tears. You are feeling sad even now" said Samyuktha consoling me.
"arey.. evarra meerantha. vadukosam evar badhabadar ikkada. nenu Adhi sir nee chivar varaiku okka sari kooda ee roju chudaledh ani badapaduthunanu"
(translation is in the upcoming para , translated by samyuktha)
Meghana looked bewildered not understanding what I told, while Samyuktha gasped audibly and closed her mouth with hands.
"What are you saying?" queried Meghana perplexingly.
"oh.. we are the real fools here to feel pity for her. She does not feel even an ounce for whatever Vikram sir shouted. She is feeling sad because , because of missing her chance to get glimpse of Adhi sir today" Samyuktha translated what I said earlier in Telugu.
Hearing it Meghana's eyes widened and she bet me in my arms which I gladly accepted.
"see I felt little hurt when he shouted at me in front of everyone and had slight tears. I agree. But this is all sappa matter salt water.(not an big issue to worry for) Why would I worry for what he said? I am worried about not meeting Adhi sir"
"but you went to get the pd from Adhi sir right? how come you did not see him"
"On my way, one 2nd year akka gave me the pen drive stating Adhi sir gave it. He is leaving early today it seems" I replied sadly.
Hearing that, my other two friends too felt sad, as they missed him.
A week passed beautifully in college except for Mr. Arrogant's class. The amount of headache and aversion he gives gets ward off easily by Professor Adhi.
