Chapter-12
( Division with too many Promises....)
"I am not going to write letters anymore",she said while I was playing with Ashoka tree leaves standing in the school corridor during the morning interval. As I was about to ask her the reason,she said
" But you have to keep writing me , I cant be without reading your letters." "And it is all because of you, you left me after seetha kalyanam without talking , and after going home I took out all your letters and started reading which made me cry and my mother noticed all this ,though I was able to convince her that these letters are just written by my friend but she never wanted me to write letters like this , " "She also took a promise that I should not write letters , so I will not write, but you have to write AJ , " she said. I was in a dilema that I will not be able to read her letters anymore, and her mother read my letters on the top of it.
Last day of lV Unit test, afternoon we have Value education examination,and all of our class boys are playing leg stamping before the exam as this exam marks are not added to the grand total it doesn't bother us much. And i noticed all the group Girls vice captains are walking towards us , we stoped playing and went to them. " We need to organise a Farwell party for our seniors" they said. Usually its almost a ritual in schools to organise farewell to the outgoing batch and all of us decided to meet after the exam."
John,Din and myself finished our exam and started walking towards the drawing room where we were asked to meet. By the time we went all the group captains are already present with my girl who will be leading the whole party and my teacher Mrs.Subhashini who is the best person I met ever.
I know Mrs.Subhashini from past two years ,she teaches us Social studies and she got the special capability of turning a boring social class into fun filled entertainment class. I always liked her way of approach towards any social problem , she always felt that students and youth alone can change this nation. She has a innovative and creative end in teaching which made me to be her devotee indeed and she is my girls class teacher now.
We joined them and as I already said my teacher to be creative, she wants the whole show to look like a Tv news , with my girl being the lead anchor sitting inside a small TV set, it almost took 2 complete days to understand the whole concept after teacher explained . We 3 were asked to make the TV set , and daily we are asked about its progress, and we used to parry the talk as we have never started it and our concentration was more on the dance which we are going to perform. Two days before the show Mrs.Subhashini asked us to show the model , and that day I and Din made all our efforts to make it with the help of cardboard, and we showed it to Mrs.Subhashini the next morning , we felt very proud in completing it within one day , but Mrs.Subhashini exclaimed it by saying
" Rackpickers model" , we dint know the actual meaning of it till my girl said it that afternoon before the selections for dance.
There was a serious doubt in my mind why Mrs.Subhashini need to be so harsh to us, she can be a bit polite in doing and after I thought for a while found few other cases where she kept me away from my girl , she always assigned me works in which my girl is not involved , and decoded it as this is all Mrs.Rani Rama's thing, she saw us together in Zaheerbad and passed all the news to whole school teaching staff , which made my school teachers to be divided into two, people who support my girl and people who want me to be away from my girl. Both have the common motive that is I should not be with her .
" Rack pickers" John exclaimed !! while me and din are standing outside the dance room to give our performance and we all had a huge laughter. All our group of 5 members went inside to give our performance, and saw my girl and Mrs.Vasantha latha in selection chamber, initially felt little shy to dance infront of her but later felt that the song lyrics to match my situation and gave my best.
" I never thought you can dance so nicely" my girl said after we finished our dance and came out of the room. I had a confused expression whether to be happy that she liked my dance or she underestimated me so much .Before I was about to say her thanks she said " ok gotta go and see other performances, make sure that you come early as we need to decorate stage."
" Set up the TV quickly on stage
, its already 10 past 8 , Mrs.Subhashini shouted ." As we are participating in dance we gotta an exception form working and my other classmates were doing it. I was in my red hoodies walking all around to see whether everything was going well ,and my girl saw me and said " looking good" , blushed a little and said her "you to look great ." Show started and everyone enjoyed it , we performed well , and other group which also contains a good bunch of brats who can really do wellperformed but due to their poor co ordination it dint go so well. And we were the talk of the school that day, my girl was overwhelmed by our performance,following afternoon we the group leaders need to monitor all the primary classes as the teachers are having a staff meeting and small party followed by it. Meanwhile I found my Girls younger brother walking towards me, he likes me alot and he often tease me with his sisters name, he is 3 years younger to me so he does that and I bet he will never do that now.
"Hey, AJ need to talk with you," "someone wrote your name and my sisters behind the stage in the ground with charcoal. " This is the tradition of our school , I have been watching this from years , writing the best close pairs names, I never understand why whole world gets interested in those two people who are close with each other. I felt bad and also a bit proud to stand in that list of names on the wall of our school, which meant now we are a good couple. " I gave him a box of chalk pieces and asked to use them on it , as chalk is the only remedy for charcoal.
I went with my girl to monitor 1st and second standard kids, it was very horrible to tolerate them and to be frank we both started to talk and yell more than those kids and she said looking into my eyes " We have done a great job today ,and its always awesome to be with you ."
