Part 10

After the English period it was the second language hour and those who opted for Hindi went to the other room where their teacher was waiting and those who opted for Telugu stayed back in the class. The teacher who taught Telugu was Mr.Shastri a man in his sixties who was a very experienced teacher and had been teaching the G-section since 3 years, So he knew all of them very well.

As soon as Mr.Shastri entered the class everyone stood up and greeted him with a "GOOD MORNING." and he too said Good Morning and asked them to sit down. He scanned the entire class in a jiffy with his eagle like vision and spotted the new boy sitting in the last bench. He knew who the boy was as the Head Mistress had told him about Ravi and everything else but still he wanted to hear the boy speak. So he politely asked the boy to stand up, Ravi was not interested in standing up but respecting his teacher's age, he stood up.

Mr.Shastri wanted to hear how he would speak in Telugu and as he expected when Ravi spoke, he spoke Telugu with an Foreign Accent and other than that he made no mistakes. Everyone were surprised on hearing him speak in such fluent Telugu. Later Mr.Shastri passed the period by not teaching them but by cracking some of his characteristic jokes. Even he told them what books they should bring and left the class after the bell ran. After his period they had a 15 minutes break. Again the entire class burst into chatter and everyone were busy with their friends. Pooja saw that no one was talking to Ravi and that he was not eating anything, so she went up to him and asked,"UH.. MM.. Ravi did you not bring anything to eat."

Ravi was a little surprised by being approached by someone new and he simply said," I have no one to pack me anything."

On hearing the last statement she was shocked, she never expected that kind of answer, she couldn't say anything else for a moment then she ran to her bench and when she came back she carried with her a pack of biscuits gave them to him, he refused at first but slowly took it from her hand and started eating them one by one.

She was really glad that she was able to at least satisfy his hunger and said ,"Ravi you never say that you don't have anyone ever again, you have all of us, OK?"

"Ya right, and my name is Shreya nice to meet you.", saying this Shreya came and joined them and stretched her hand but Ravi did not shake it, he just looked at her for sometime and looked away.

This angered Shreya all to Pooja's amusement. The scene was really funny for her.

Then the rest of the day passed away quickly and as it was the first day at school everyone had school till 1 P.M. only. While leaving everyone were a little surprised to find a new Black BMW M6 waiting at the gates Pooja guessed who it belonged to and her guess was right, the door opened and Ravi went and sat in it but just before leaving he stopped the car and said,"Hey Pooja want me to drop you at your house."

Pooja was not a little bit interested and said,"Ravi my house is near and I prefer walking to going in a car, So bye." and she walked away quickly in the direction of her house.

The next morning Ravi woke up very early and went to the "Library" He went to the library early but it was already open and soon he was sitting on his table again and the next book was " Everything You Need to Know-Teen Edition ." He started reading the book he found the book interesting because in the book he found information about many things he never heard about, the book had information about everything from Pythagoras' Theorem to the scientific name of Blue Whale. Ravi spent hours reading and trying to remember anything and everything he could. Then after reading the book almost till the end he reached a chapter in the book which was called-" Love " and as any other chapter he continued reading the book but this was not a normal chapter, it was very different from the other chapters because it had no formulas, no scientific terms, no nothing but just assumptions and guesses. 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'...
