Her school days

15. Plans failed

Next day

All of them were standing in assembly line. Principal mam did an announcement that the tests are going to start after two days and directly after exams the summer vacations will begin. Their were no summer camps this time as the sports students will be practicing in the school during these vacations so the coach will be busy.

With sad face they all went to their class.

Komal's pov

The news of beginning of tests were not shocking at all. We all knew that they were about to start. But I was sad because these tests were starting too early and then there will be holidays.

" I can't see Krish for long time after two weeks " I thought.

All the children already went inside class. I was the last one to enter but meenu mam stopped me "wait komal come here." She said.

I stood infront of her, "I got an disappointing news about you." I panicked.

"Someone told me that you say ill about me at my back." She continued "and even abuse me at my back."

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I said "mam you are my inspiration, I can never do that."

But instead of listening mam shouted "no explanations needed komal. I don't want to see your face get out of my class. And don't even dare to step inside the class in my period. You think that I am a bad teacher and you dislike me a lot so you need not sit in my class. You can go out and roam around freely."

Hearing this all my friends stood up, "she can't do that miss."

Meenu mam said, "you all can sit. I don't need explanations."

I first looked at meenu mam and then at my friends and then at vidhisha. My friends had concern in their eyes while vidhisha's eyes showed revenge and her lips were curled in smirk. I quickly went out of class preventing any tear to roll down from my eyes.

I quickly went to basketball field. There was no one there. The practice of sports have been delayed due to upcoming tests. I was walking, lost in thoughts when I bumped with someone. I looked up to find zaid standing infront of me. Ishita was standing with him.

"She is the one who always abuses me bhaiya." She said to zaid with innocence in her face.

My eyes widened in shock, "your brother?" I murmured in confusion. I know that she do not have any brother. She is a single child and that's why she is spoilt by her parents.

"Yes he is my cousin and so the principal is my aunt" she replied coming close to my face with a smirk.

"She is your aunt?" I almost yelled. Shock evident on my face.

"Oh my my, poor girl. She studied in this school since nursery and still don't know about the relations people here share with teachers." She chuckled. She held my face and moved it from left to right saying "how innocent"

She continued, "the principal mam is zaid's mother and your favourite teacher, Mrs meenu mam is my mother. "

"You are lying. If she really is your mother I must have got to know about it." I said in disbelief.

"Have you ever saw my mother?" She asked me. I nodded in denial. I actually never saw her mother. "And my mother never saw you" she said raising her eyes.

"But she must know me by my name." I asked but suddenly remembered, no one considers my existence there.

"She don't know that you are her neighbour. One of the reason is that she barely come to house as my parents often fights with each other and I live with my father." Said Ishita and then continued, "and I was the one who told her that you said such things about her. She trusts her daughter ofc more than you." She said with raised eyebrows.
