Part 5

Just as she was about to turn but the one following her brushed past and started climbing the stairs,

She wanted to yell, “Can’t you see?”

But she kept quiet and saw that the stranger turned to look back at her briefly.

The place was dimly lit and she was not able to see his face but she got a glimpse of his bag it was dull gray and blue in color. He then went up the stair case very quickly and vanished.

Then in the class, Pooja was as usual sitting in the fifth bench beside her best friend-Tejaswini whom she fondly called "Teju". Then their mathematics teacher entered his name was Mr.Ramesh. He went straight to the board and wrote the name of a new chapter.

Then he said, “Before I start the lesson I want to ask you some questions from this chapter."

Someone said,”Ohh man why he always asks things we don't know."

Ramesh heard that and pointed his finger at a boy and asked him to stand up and then asked him a difficult question from the new chapter,

Naturally that student did not know the answer just kept quiet and hung his head down,

Then suddenly a very bright girl stood up and said, “Sir the answer is....." but before she could complete the sentence Mr.Ramesh looked at her angrily and she sat down.

Ravi did not understand half of what he was reading and he wondered h...

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

As the weeks passed, the park whose plan was laid by many engineers was taking shape by the help of students and anyone who was interested in helping. Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons were spent in gardening, digging dirt, planting saplings etc. but Pooja had to make up a lot of stories to come out of her house every week which included everything from " Special Classes At School to Visiting a Sick Friend ". One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
