Boy, I Can Hear You

"Hey!"
As usual, today also my super mind found the super word "Hey". And after that? Nothing..

"Umm... actually... I want a... actually.. you know... my..no! our band... "

Jenni! come on! just ask him.

"Mmm.. don't you think today is an awesome day?"

Jenni! Can't you just get to the point?

Yes! I should. I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Actually I......Huh! where is he?"

He has gone. My mind answered.

My first attempt of the mission "Convincing Kabir for being the drummer" was failed. Do you think this mission's name is quite big? Oh well! I couldn't think of any other name.

Yesterday I got to know that Kabir could play drums and he was an expert in it. You can easily guess how much happy I was that time. I thought finally our problem was solved. But, when I asked Aunt Ray (Kabir's mom) about it, She told, "Kabir doesn't play drum now at all. He had stopped playing drums since his dad died."

I said, "But we really need him. Our college needs him. Aunty please help us."

Her eyes slightly pushed together in sadness and she said, "Kabir is a very obstinate boy. He will never agree to do this."

"Aunty! I will make him. You only give me the permission."

She smiled sadly and said, "I would be the happiest person, if you could do so. Go for it."

After that me and rest of our band members held a meeting by phone about this topic.

After I revealed this news to them, their reactions were noticeable.

"That mute guy! really?"

"He is a drummer! Can't believe that!"

"Yeah! John is absolutely right."

Those were their reactions. I told them, "Guys, We have no choice other than insisting him to do that. We need him. And also he got a lot of rewards for it. He must be great in playing drums."

Our meeting went on for 2 hours, we decided to convince him no matter what.

So, I was there.. in the library. Kabir used to be found there most of the time. Only at the time of class he came to the classroom. Other times he spent at the library. Such a nerd! It made me surprise that he was a owner of many prizes in drums playing.

I looked around. Where has he gone?
Oh there he is. I started to walk towards him. suddenly a fat woman had to appear in front of my face blocking my way. Mrs.Sinha.

What did she need now? Why is she even angry?

"Miss.D'souza! how many times have I told you that speaking loudly in library is prohibited?" She  said.

Oh not again! I didn't say anything loudly. Did I ?

I smiled fake and said, "Actually I didn't count. May be hundred times......."

Her face grew redder. That means my words made her more angry.

"No? then thousand times?!" I tried to correct myself.

"SHUT UP!" She shouted.

Look, she didn't get punished for shouting in the library. Great! what a justice!

"Stay after college and help me in library work."

"But...but... I stayed quite all the time."

"Really?" She gave a fake smile and said, " 'oh there he is'....who said that?"
