Its been 17 years, but I still remember her name and all the
memories about her and my 7th std school days. As i dedicated my previous
article for my fav teacher, in this blog I am going to write about a girl who
grabbed my attention in my school.
I am writing this
blog in 5 chapters, please do have some patience to read, I am sure you won't
get bored.
CHAPTER 1- SWAPNA
She was the second most beautiful girl in my school
after my fav teacher, initially I didn't give attention towards her, but one
fine Wednesday when she came in color dress, she was looking completely
different, I was confused for a min, that is she the same girl!! From that day,
it all started. She was silent, and intelligent in studies, her smile was
beautiful, and she had amazing voice too. I participated in singing competition
at my school anniversary to impress her. But i got only prize, not her
attention.
CHAPTER 2 - CLEANING HER DESK
As i studied in a government school, that time they didn't had any
attenders in our school, myself and my friend Naveen are the most popular boys
in our school for various reasons. If any guests arrived or if there are any
teachers meeting, or if any of my teacher wanted to drink some coffee in their
free time, they used to call us both for getting them what they needed from a
nearby hotel. We both used to go for two reasons, one to miss the irritating
class and two, sometimes if any guest said NO to a coffee, we get to drink
that.
The school routine
was one week boys will clean class rooms and the school premises and one week
girls, it was a bit fun though. When cleaning the classrooms, I used to clean
her desk with extra care, and asked my friends to clean remaining desk. I liked
cleaning her desk.
CHAPTER 3 - LOVE LETTER
This was one hell of a day. some of my friends came to know about
the crush I had on her and they tried to help me by giving some stupid ideas.
That time we got the new Landline phone in my home, there was no mobile then,
and my friend Dayananda gave me an idea on how to give my landline number to
her. I asked the History notes from her, and while returning the notes, I wrote
my number in a page. But she never called. when I was struggling to tell what I
feel about her, then this guy Waseem my another friend gave me this brilliant
idea of writing a love letter. I said impossible, but he convinced me later,
and told that he will write the letter and all I have to do is to give the
letter to her.
His Kannada was so
horrible than his hand writing, god knows why I trusted him on this matter. He
finished letter in a small piece of paper (like the one we use to write copy
chits in exams) with 3 lines of a poetry (I really don't remember what he wrote)
and told me to give her. He motivated me by saying " Nothing will happen,
just go and give it to her".
I still remember that
day when I went to give the letter to her, she was cleaning a class room and
she had a broom in her hand. I was little worried and afraid, just imagine a
girl with broom in her hand and you went to give love letter to her, then you
can understand my situation. I just called her name and gave the letter, I left
the room in a hurry without looking back.
CHAPTER 4 - THE WARNING
After the love letter incident, she stopped talking to me, I tried a lot but she
ignored. I asked the poet who wrote the love letter “are you sure that what you
wrote in that letter is a poetry?" he said YES with confident and told "she
might be feeling shy to talk to you". And again, I believed him.
One fine afternoon, I
came back to school after finishing my lunch and entered the class room, she
was sitting alone and writing some notes. I was really afraid to sit inside so
I came out and sat on the steps. After some time, she came out and called me
and my response was just " ha ". She asked who wrote the letter?
After thinking for a sec, I said it was me. She smiled, I thought everything is
fine and maybe she wanted to talk about the poetry, but she told something
which I never forget.
She said " First
you learn how to write Kannada(Language) and then love me, moreover you are not
grown enough to love someone" and she left.
At that moment only
thing running in my mind was " saale waseeeeeem"
CHAPTER 5 - THE PROMISE
We used to have evening school once in a month, on that day the Principal
organised some cultural activities and quiz. I was sitting alone in the back
when everyone was busy in singing any answering the quiz, then she came and sat
next to me. She started to talk to me after two months, and asked me why I am
not participated in singing, I said I will sing next.
Then she told the
same lines " I will tell you something but you should not tell to anyone,
especially to your friends." Then i said " yes i promise". When
she was about to tell something, her sister came to take her home and she left
the room without telling anything. I hated her sister a lot for that.
After that I never a
got a chance to talk to her as our exams got finished and we are all got
separated and joined different school. Even after changing the school I used to
roam near her house in a cycle everyday so that I can see her. But my bad luck,
they shifted to a new home and I didn't had any idea where was that. Later I
stopped looking for her and started to concentrate on studies.
After 9 years, in the
year 2009 I saw her in a railway station, she was changed a lot but i was able
to recognise her. I went and said "hi", she seemed so excited
to see me and we spoke for some 20 mins. Then I asked her whether she remember
the love letter and promise, but her answer was mind blowing.
" Do you still
remember all those, my god it was so funny and entertaining ". Then I left
the place.
By now, may be she
got married but still I don't know what she was about to tell on that evening..
