Chapter 2 - Agreed?
"Excuse me, may I come in?" Munnu said standing in the doorway, a stupid smile plastered on her face. Oh well, thats her trademark.
"Come in", the teacher said in an interested tone of voice.
Munnu hopped in and slouched in the seat beside me. She dumbed her bag at the side of her seat and pulled out her folder and a copy of Shakespear's 'The Taming Of The Shrew'. I did the same and started whispering, "Munnu we've got to talk, about the field trip".
"Okay, by the way I know about Kalsi", she whispered back. "WHAT", I said a bit too loud than I actually wanted it to be. And as a result now the whole class including the teacher was staring at me. Wow, can this day get any better?
oOo
Short break started and I went to the language room with Munnu and Jia. Avi and Maahi were already waiting for us there.
"She already knows about it?", I asked Avi crossing my arms against my chest.
"Yeah!", he said casually.
"Why you, you...you idiot!", I hit his arm.
"Relax Seher, we will find a way." Maahi said.
"How?" I started, "Kalsi is like 4 hours away, my Dad will never agree to send me, never ever ever!" I said, getting tensed up. I stomped my foot and went towards the first chair and slouched down on it lazily.
Munnu sighed, and sat on the chair beside me and started, "Seher look, don't get all tensed up. There is nothing we can do about it and you know that very well, I mean the faculty decides the locations every year and we," I cut her off getting up, "And of all the years why did they have to change it now?" I said frowning.
"Well, if we cannot change the faculty's decision why don't we change your Dad's mind?" Avi said smirking.
"What's on your mind now?" Maahi said, uninterested.
Beacause we all knew, Avi's mind cooks up some horrendous ideas. Whenever he had any idea it means trouble's approaching.
"NO way!", I said getting up and grabbing my bag to leave.
"No no wait, there is no idea this time. It's a real thing" he said trying to convince us 4 pair of doubting eyes.
oOo
"Dad, can we talk?" I said sitting on the sofa opposite him by the fireplace. Dad was doing some work with 2 files, probably tallying the figures in the blue file with the figures in the red one. His spectacles rested threateningly on the rim of his nose, 'boy they might fall anytime now' I thought.
He was so engrossed in those files, I doubt he even noticed my presence, I cleared my throat in order to gain his attention.
"Hmm, yeah?" he finally said, never tearing his gaze from the files.
"Umm, Dad as you know the field trip is going after two weeks, and we are apparently, uh going to Kalsi." I said quickly, looking down to my lap where I buried my tightly clasped hands.
He looked up at me, raising his eyebrows. 'Oh no', my mouth suddenly went dry and my heart rate increased. I clasped my hands even tighter.
He sighed through his nose and looked down again, never saying a word he started working on his files again. The silence was defening, my heart was literally jumping out of anxiety.
"You know its too far", Dad finally said tearing the killer silence. I sighed in relief, I licked my lips and started,
"Yes", I said barely audible.
"What do you expect my answer to be?" He said leaving the pen on the files and resting his back against the sofa, looking staright at me.
"Uh", I gulped. I cleared my throat and gathered enough courage to speak up but Dad interrupted, "Mr.Khanna is having a social dinner that week at their farmhouse" Dad said looking at the fireplace.
'Wow, & there goes my field trip...bye bye Kalsi' I thought looking gloomily at the dancing falmes in the fireplace.
"So...you can go on the trip" Dad said calmly.
At first I just looked at him and turned away, not really realizing what he just said, as soon as his words got absorbed by my rather slow brain I looked up to him with wide eyes with shock written all over my face & shrieked -
"WHAT?" he was taken aback by my suddent gesture. I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and got up.
"What?" I asked again but more calmly.
"Yes you heard that, you can go. I know you would never want to come to that social dinner, which according to you is boring so there you go. I give you the permission to go." he said raising his hands in submission.
"Oh my God" was all I could say. I small smile crept up on his face, this made me smile as well. I went to him and gave him a side hug, "Thank you so much Dad" I said. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and smiled. "You know I love you, don't you?" He teased me.
I just rolled my eyes and chuckled at this rare mood of his.
"Okay go to bed now, it's getting late" he said getting back to his files.
I got up and ran upstairs to my room saying a quick 'good night' on my way.
I got into my room and closed the door behind me. I jumped onto my bed & pulled the covers over me, I smiled & sighed contentedly before turning the lights off.
