The Sad Story

Chapter 4

The day being long and our unit tests dates are out. As usual I am Mahesh's tutor and here he is with his thousands of doubts. I am waiting from half an hour and why today Kumar didn't turned up to school?? Is anything wrong with him. Should I ask Mahesh?? No!!!!!! He might think that wrongly. Don't know what should I do??
Interrupting my thoughts.." Hey why is the stars being classified differently? And why does blue stars are more hotter than red and others?" Mahesh pouted out that long question doubtfully and I am not interested in answering.
" I don't know mahesh" I snap out. " Am I torturing you??? " Mahesh asks me questioningly.

" Well ye...no!! Absolutely not, I was just thinking something" I cleared out.
" Oh!! Cool then. Say me what were you thinking??"Mahesh sneaks on my thoughts.
" Why Kumar didn't turn up today???!!"" Oh no what I did. In shouldn't had asked him. Me and my big mouth.
" whatsoever is this you were thinking?" he asks me in a very puzzled way.
"No no",I lie him as truth.
" Then what's in your mind", he enquires.
What should I say?? How to escape from him?? " Actually I was thinking of travelling around the space near sun and even travel outside the solar system with rockets with faster speed than now. Because I heard that it would take a new born baby in its old age to reach Pluto from here. So wanted to know how can we reach there sooner the better. And if I say these to you, you might think me mad, so took the topic of Kumar just to distract." I end up exhausted and relieved.

Oh god please make him believe me. " That was not stupidity of you. Well a nice thought. We will wait until technologies develop. Let's see. " he smiles.
" Well Kumar is with Rekha. They both had an accident while coming to school. Rekha dashed on Kumar's cycle and both got bright wounds and are in hospital.", he adds.
"Hmm, he will get well soon", I sadly say him as thought of Rekha passes me on with him. He just says " Hope so".
Whole class was such a monotony. I was so upset??? Why?? Just because he got bright wounds on his legs and all around and he didn't turn up. Why is he controlling over me.?? Why I am attracted toward him? Why the thought of Rekha being with him hurts me?. I should stop this. I should stop this before its too late. I should restrict him from my life. I have no other option. No I can't take that big step. I like him may be a bit more than liking but don't know. I can't risk myself. My thoughts wander about Shus and I can't help myself. Tears are just a tiny droplet which are filled with lots of emotion which overflows out of out heart, which out heart can't bear and we can just regret. I should stop myself before I hurt Kumar like Shus. Orelse I will down guilty. I should stop bothering about him. I should be back to normal.
