Part 12

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 how someone could go to great extents without expecting anything in return. He had never experienced "Love" from anyone and he did not know that it was a emotion which was the greatest strength and weakness of humans.



As he was pondering on all these thoughts the funky teen librarian came to him and saw what he was reading, he just said,"Hey Dude, love is not something you can learn from reading books,you need to feel it to find out what it is."



Ravi said,"But from whom can you expect love?".



The librarian was surprised for a moment on what he had heard and thought for a second and then asked,"Hey man, tell me something - who was the closest person to you since childhood."



Ravi thought for a while and in his mind came the face of only person- His Master at A.A.A(Aristocratic Assassin's Academy) but his master never behaved anything that could be termed as loving and caring or anything that he read in the book, so he just said,"I don't know Mister."



The teen librarian was getting late and as he could not think of what to say, he just said,"OK man, I hope you find your love soon, gotta go."



So Ravi gave the book and went back to his residence.

“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'...
