1 The girl I never approached...

I never liked going there but my parents forced me and that is the reason I had to go tuition.But that day I had this very awesome plan and guess what, I wasn't going.So according to the plan, I covered myself with a blanket just my head outside with an eye open , that too struck at the door as my mom was about to come and wake me up anytime. She had already given a siren, yeah she screams instead of calling.

The door creaked, I closed my eyes -I was genuinly sleeping. I opened my eyes slowly as she tremmbled me a bit. I lied about my upset stomach then I heard my father's voice calling her out .He was home and by the next minute I was ready with my bag on my bicycle out side my house. I was again late by nearly half an hour when i reached my teacher's place.As always I grabbed my seat which has to be empty as everyone else were aware of my behaviour, I even had fights in the past for the same. Actually i liked it for two reasons one because it was quite a bit far from mam's place and the other because I liked scracthing actually scribbling words there at the lower flat portion of the sofa . Actually we used to seat on a carpet(floor) there and that sofa was at my back with its left edging on my right. It was nearly 6 pm after an (non stop) one hour of student's reading like chants ,byhearting , mam scolding us (actually me) when she felt like it's over for today.She told us all to leave. I kept my only book, that was out, in my bag wished her a good eve leave and come out as fast as I could. It was a relief, an another 22 hours of relief . I went straight to my bicycle and then I remembered my keys that I had left below the sofa . I turned back ,my other mates were leaving ,I went straight inside running .I saw the door open so I walked inside .Mam gave me a suspicious look like WHY ARE YOU HERE AGAIN ? I got her look and said "my keys mam" I turned my face took my keys which was where I thought of . I got up and turned to look at mam drinking water sitting on the right edge of her sofa. That was the movement ,I felt like , like I camln never explain . By mam's side there was a girl, standing in her simple top an pants or whatever that was . She was damn beautiful, like really beautiful not like others. I saw her face, my eyes got struck there making me stand in the same place for like a minute or two. "Aren't you late" mam said for the third time as I heard her but my eyes never gave off for the first two calls. Yes,Yes mam-see you tomorrow i said- I meant it for the girl . I saw her eyes , she was looking at me – may be I blushed –I got the hit from the door while leaving but I couldn't hear anything of me. I love my dad –he should never leave home for whatever he does (goes out for). Every other time it would take nearly a blink of an eye for the day to pass but that day, I bet it took a weeks time, that long it was.

I gave up around half past three in the afternoon ,already my bag packed I left for mam's place. Mom was shocked when she got to know of my leaving home this early for tuition. She was true to be . I rode madly fast and with that I was there just the oppsite way of how slow I was –the last day returning home.

I waited till my breathe was normal and then for the first time ever I pressed the bell lest I was always late and the door was open each time I was.

She opened the door i saw her-I baffeled all further .

"HEY" she said. The same I said, all like what-I don't even know . Mam saw me so she gave me a call to get inside . "This early" mam was shocked too.

Within the next 15 minutes all other students arrived and she(the girl) dissappeared somewhere inside . She came out for once or twice, like she walked for a few times from one room to other everytime catching my eyes .For the next two or three days I did the same .My mom and teacher(Mam) thought I was getting serious towards my studies they were happy for this ,I was happy for something else .My mom must have had a convo with mam about this , It doesn't even matter though.

I completed my dinner by eight and asked my mom to leave for what I already told her . Actually that day I left a course book at Mam's place(willingly) so that I could approach late that night to get it back and there I was outside the door. I pressed the bell and waited for a bit and then I pressed it again.

She opened the door and as for past three-four days (times) hye, hey and all this had become common So I thought of saying something else-

'Hello' I said – shame on me.

'Hey' She said too in a tone like 'why was I there' and god I had answer unlike the other times when all I did was to baffle.

Before I could say anything she raised her hands with my book in her hand.

"Your mom called for it"Mam from somewhere inside shouted. Thanks I said for-The maths book.

It's Science book . Aunty , I think is science teacher' she said. Someone please kill me I thought. God, I am so so fucked up.

She chuckled. She must have seen me in shame, my face which I hate. She was something beyond fair,like really white or something.

'Sorry' I said. I was alive still dead.

She checked a bit – "It's okay" she said,

Was she aware that i was trying to hit on her.

God knows, I don't . Dead ones never.

As I didn't say anything she took on the worst convo I ever had.

'Are you trying to approach me ' she said still giggling .I love that BTW.

'No' I said- I was, but then I left as mam called her inside. Why do she (Mam) treat her like a slave.

I wanted to talk but couldn't . She closed the gate. I left.

The very next day I did the same again. Mam never had a doubt . She thaught I was really working hard.

Actually I was but for something else.

She opened the gate straightening the book to me

'Science,Aah' I remember , she laughed.

"Why are you so careless" Mam shouted from somewhere near the scrabbing sofa.

"Sorry Mam" I said.

P.S –For her.

'So .." I was about to say something when she crossed me. I never hate that.

"sorry, I have some work" She said making a sign with her thumb showing inside.

'No it's okay' I said.

I took the book and left .Mam was really treating her bad(just my thought). She was a guest and still so much work load. Fuck mam..

I reached home and slept thinking over for the next day's plan.

I slept without any thought over.

P.S – I lied her.

I was there again early by 15 minutes.This time Mam opened the gate.My smile went off in the closest milli second because of such an extreme change. (Mam instead of her)

An hour went off and I couldn't see her. Where was she?.Asleep? I didn't knew.

'Will you study?' Mam gave me a stern look. I turned my page looking down not at words just at the blank pictures . When I turned two or three pages I got that chit, a small page. I grabbed my book folded my legs putting the book in a state that it doesn't appears to anyone around. I read the rest:-

I am leaving tomorrow.

U should have approached me earlirer.

BTW I know about the sofa show.

I saw u once.

I too love to do that.

See you...

It was a shock for me.I should have approached her earlier.Fuck me.

Mam signalled us to leave. I felt unlimbed even though .I left the room .Now I'd lost the reason to be first to arrive, to leave the book behind. I was about to get on my cycle and leave when something hit me. I opened the chit again She had written "I too love to do that"- scrabbing under the sofa. I dropped my cycle there and ran inside, I 'm sure I bet my record speed at any other chance(event)of my life.I went straight inside the house.'my keys' I never looked at Mam .She directly knew How careless I was.

I moved my hand touching the lower surface of the sofa finding something new scribbled on the sight of where I used to. It was some number.

********** I could beat Brallie then.

Those one hour of utter sadness lost its shades in a moment .Her number ,even though I was worst to remember things,was now like an imprint on my face that becomes nearly impossible to forgot.

I reached home by next 15 minutes . I took dinner and then I was there in my room all alone. I thought of calling her but it felt like no good time so I graved the idea.

I was standing , it was beautiful there, somewhere on the street in the dense fog .All I could see was translucent(barely visible) shadowy images of trees and other non livingthings around me.I tried to walk but I couldn't I was like freezed.

In that sudden moment I saw the only,still barely visible ,shadow of a girl. It felt like she is the one from the tuition. She kept on going backwords getting more on more invisible in the fog and with that she vanished. I was shock –I couldn't move. Holy shit 'What's going on' I thought.

I woke up surating like shit. It was morning around 5 or 6 something I barely slept then.

I took my breakfast by 8AM I was about to leave for school when I thought of calling her .I took my phone dialled her number. No one picked up the call. I dialled again this time on the third ring someone picked up

"Hello' I said

Who's this A female voicecame from the other end. I felt like something wrong with her voice. Then I recalled that I don't even know her name "Is she home- I am her friend" I said making it a bit sensefull.

Instead of giving me any answer she started crying.I heard the sound a bit slow, she must have kept the phone far.

Wgy the hell she crying. Something was serious ,wrong out there . I waited for few minutes when an another voice came out."SHE MET WITH AN ACCIDENT TODAY MORNING, SHE DIED" the voice startled me, I got those freaking goosebumps. This couldn't happen.What was wrong, didI dial a wrogn number.

'what the fuck' I shouted but the call was aalready cut down in between the stinking break.

I was out of my senses. I didn't cry . I didn't even know her. My mom shouted- I was getting late for the school. I recalled the chit. I ran outside my room towards the bathroom. I looked for my clothes that I had changed lately last night.

I went to mom.

'Where are my clothes?, I had yesterday'

'I washed them' she said....
