The Dancing Tale

Chapter 8

"Listen, we want to join you."

I turned my head to rudra who has stopped me. I was on my way to the class that I have with kids. Priya is already there and she has already started with her subject. I was about to leave but that sucker stopped me to talk.

"Don't you think you are being chummy out of the blue to me. I know yesterday we had good companionship but that was just a one time thing." I asked. His jaw clenched in annoyance.

"I am definitely not trying to be chummy here." He said. I eyed him suspiciously. "I will clear your misconception if you let me complete first."

I nodded at him to continue.

"I used to work in social welfare at my time being in iit Bombay and also in Bangalore where I used to work. And here I was also looking for some kind of NGO to work with. And at that day I saw you with kids, giving them ice cream treat. I guess you teach them and when I asked mom where you go everyday at 6:30, she told me about you teaching them. "

" Were you spying on me rudra agrawal.?" I asked.

"Damnit. I thought I was being discrete with it but now my cover is blown. So yeah I was spying because I have nothing more exciting to do than that in my life." He said sarcastically. I glared at him. But then suddenly I remembered I am getting late.

"Okay. I have no time to argue with you. And yes, you can join us. The more the merrier and kids will get to learn more too. Who am I to stop the welfare of kids."

He nodded. "Let's go then. I will just message kabir. He wanted to join too."

He messaged him and we walked down the stairs. "Wait here. I will get my car out of the garage ."

"No. It's only 10 minutes walk away and also we will face parking issues if you take it there." I told him. "We will walk." he nodded and we started walking.

We walked in silence without making any conversation. And I am glad because who knows what nonsense will come out of his mouth. When we reach there I saw a bike parked in front of the class.

"It's kabir's bike." Rudra told me.

"You boys call it bike. It's a death sentence. A little insouciance on road and you will be bleeding to death." I said. He laughed at my apprehension.

I like riding on bike but the normal ones. Not these big monsters where you need to clung on the driver for your dear life.

"Now we are definitely riding on my bike tomorrow to college."

I looked at him agape. How can he use my fear of bikes to torment me more. I am already enduring his big egoistic personality.

You would have done the same if you were in his place. How can you be such dolt, confessing your fear out loud in front of him.

"Close your mouth or else you will catch a fly." he closed my mouth and walked inside the class.

"Ass." I muttered under my breath but control my anger and walked in.

As now there are 4 of us to teach so we decided to split the kids in 2 halves and teach them distinct subjects which goes from ancient history to basics of modern technology. These Kids love to learn whatever we teach them. They are very fascinated by the things and knowledge.

How true is that, one who have been deprived of it will try his best to get it while the other being blessed with it will take it for granted. Be it love or person or education.

After taking our class for 3 hours, we finally call it close.

"Pri, how are you going to go. Your scooter has been sent for replacement right.?" I asked.
