Part 13

The next day like the previous day was a holiday and Ravi again went to the library early in the morning and started reading the final book which was lying on the table its title was-"Everything You Need To Know-Adult Edition."



This book was a lot different from the other two books not only in its size but also its contents. It had information on topics ranging from dining etiquette to the recession. Ravi had read about only half of the book by evening and he was not interested in reading further. It was strange for him - to feel bored when he had a task in his hands.



But he decided he had learnt enough of humans and the way they think and emote.



As Ravi was lost in all the memories of the things he learnt the last 2 days the funky teen librarian came upto him and said,"Dude a Lil piece of advice- the book looks interesting but its boring man, so close it and I will give you some better books to read."



Ravi just stared at him for a while and said,"Look Mister thanks for your advice and you can take the book, I am done reading it anyway."



So the librarian took the book from him and went to keep it in its original place and Ravi went towards his residence.



That night near Pooja's house, a girl of St.Joseph's Public School was walking down the dimly lit road she hears some strange sounds, her mind was now divided into two parts one part told her to run and other was filled with curiosity. Her urges got the better of her and she followed the sounds.

She hid behind the wall of a nearby house and in the dimly lit road at a distance she could see some people surrounding a boy and others were lying on the road moaning in pain.Then she could not believe at what she saw next- the boy was breathing heavily and at least 5 heavily built thugs pounced on him at once.

The boy dodged every one of them easily and hit each of them once at particular part of the body and all of them fell down and started crying in pain.After sometime all the painful cries stopped as all of them had fainted, she then saw the lean boy standing among many people who were lying down and were as still as dead. The boy sensed some new presence and called out, “Who is there?"



The girl who was hiding behind the building shuddered in fear when she heard the voice which was filled with cold rage, then she thought if that guy could finish off so many people and still be standing it would not be difficult for him to find her so as if in a trance she came out of her hiding place and started walking slowly towards the person. As she got closer in the brightening street light she could make out the outline of a boy of her age, then when she got close enough she saw the person's face and was shocked to find out that the person was the new foreign exchange student-"Ravi".

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.

“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'...
