Farewell

Arbaz and his friends accidentally found this teahouse. This place was almost abondoned at that time, many scary rumors circulated like this place was haunted, people died there. Some said they had seen ghost and so on. Out of curiosity Arbaz and his friends went there to solve the mystery.

After they saw the teahouse, this should be the place where the ghost lives. In order to meet the so called ghost they entered the tree house. They could not find the ghost but they did find a place to set their secret base. They cleaned up the tea house and fixed some things. Arbaz and his friends would often come here to hang out.

One day, the grandpa, Mr. Akhil Shen came. Samir was frightened thinking,'Is this the ghost?" Fortunately he was alive. Then they came to know that Mr. Shen is the owner of this tree house and they got acquainted. The old man got along with the groups of teenagers very well. When he heard Arbaz wants to use his teahouse to prepare e a surprise, he gladly agreed.

Arbaz wanted to surprise Kifayat on her birthday. He saw how happy she was receiving the present, he thought, Should I have bought more books? Although he couldn't wish her happy birthday face to face for now, he hopes one day he will be able to openly celebrate with her.

Days passed by in the usual hustle and bustle. There is not much time left for the board exam.

The final year students got more serious on their studies. They had no time for joking around or gossiping or having fun with each other. Even the students who was always in the last row in class are trying to do their best, to prove their worth and achieve something in life.

In all these seriousness, it was the last day of school. All the classmates were present today. Unlike usual the teachers did not urgent them to study today. They told them some interesting stories about their school life, some of them were reminiscing about their last day of school life.

At the end of the class, everyone could feel their teacher's heavy heart. Their class teacher Mrs. Shen burst into tears just after entering. Most of the girls were also crying holding each other. Even some boys could not help but hug each other and cry.

Kifayat kept trying to comfort her friends. "Don't cry, dear. It's not like we are not going to see each other again."

"You heartless woman, what do you understand?"

Don't look at Saba's strong personality, she is a very emotional girl. Saba and Lia burst into tears and again hugged each other.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. But if you keep crying like this, your eyes would be swollen and you will not look good when taking pictures."

Saba and Lia stopped crying for a while. The two looked at each other, "then let's cry again after taking the pictures."

Cyra's eyes was also teary. She laughed hearing them. Kifayat noticed Cyra didn't say a single thing since morning. Cyra is a girl who doesn't usually show her vulnerable side to others. In this case she is very similar to Kifayat. Kifayat hugged Cyra tightly for comfort. Cyra said softly, "I am fine."

They bid farewell to every teachers and students and asked for blessings. After school, everyone decided to eat outside and go for karaoke.

The restaurant belonged to one of their classmate, so they booked a private room.

Saba stood up, and said, "My friend, since it's the last day of our school, after today we may or may not be in contact any more. So if anyone have any dissatisfaction or anything to say to anyone in this class, please do so as not to keep any regrets. And if anyone had a secret crush on me in class, you can confess to me too, Maybe I would agree."

"Boooh~ Saba do you think anyone in the dare to have a crush on you? Everyone is afraid of their life."

"Why? Am I that scary?" Everyone pretended not to hear her complain. Saba looked at Ishan who was the nearest, "tell me, do I look scary?" Saying this Saba leaned closer to Ishan. Ishan flicked on her forehead lightly and said, "It's not because you are scary, that they are staying away from you. It's because of your stupidity, people are afraid of getting infected."

"You!! Have became brave, huh!? I think you need a good beating."

Everyone laughed. A classmate stood up and said, "I have something to confess to someone."

"WOW! CONFESSION."

The boy felt a little shy and still bravely took the mic, "Class monitor, I like you."

Kifayat was stunned by this sudden proposal and became embarrassed. She saw others gloating over it.

The boy continued to say, "Although I know I don't have a chance to be with you. But at least I don't want to have any regret. Even if you reject me I will only be sad for a while. In the long run I will be glad that I once liked a person like you. I wish you all the best, monitor." Many people felt touched after hearing such a heart touching confession.

Kifayat told him,"Thank you." In order to lighten the atmosphere many people joint and confessed. It soon became a large scale confession scene.

Cyra urged Kifayat and Ishan to say something also. "Everyone silence! Our monitors will say something for us."

Everyone became silent and looked at Kifayat. Kifayat looked at the familiar faces she had known for years. Her heart felt a pang of nostalgia, of sadness, of loss. They were her classmates, her friends, her companions in this long journey of learning ang growing.

"Well, Friends, We have came a long way together. We used to study, laugh and play, share our joy and sadness together. Because of everyone every moment of my school life became enjoyable. I know the life is unpredictable and we are not the same as before.

We all are gradually growing, changing, moving on. We all have different paths, different plans, different destinations in life. One ending is the beginning of a new journey.

Kifayat choked on her throat while talking. For so long she has not shed a drop of tears in front of them at this moment she really felt sad.

We are going to part ways, everyone will start a new lives, we will become busy, we may not keep in touch with everyone here. But remember wherever you are, or whatever you became we will always be friends. I wish all of you well, wherever you are, whatever you fo, whoever you become. May happiness, prosperity and peace come in your ways."

Everyone clapped after Kifayat's long speech. They knew Kifayat doesn't want them to show her tears. So Saba made fun of Kifayat to make her laugh.

"Kifayat for a moment I thought I am attending leaders meeting."

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

"Ishan, can you give us a valuable speech too."

"What else do I have left to say. Our dear monitor already told you everything. I can only say I also wish all the best to my classmates, friends and companions."

"As expected of our vice monitor."
