a tutor -12

According to Dev

Miss Maya is my history teacher and she knows how much interest I have in history. She also knows about my condition because we belong to a middle class family and sometimes I have to do part time jobs for my collage fees. Today, after the history class was over, he called me to her.

" Dev, if you do something for a social activity, you will get a lot of reduction in school fees."

All the college professors knew that I was always ahead in social activities. Be it convincing poor children or repairing village roads, I was ahead in everything.

" You know that I am always ahead in all this, so why are you asking me for this? Whatever work you want, you tell me and I will do it."

I could clearly see the smile on her face after listening to me. She said to me while continuing this smile.

" Yesterday Principal Ma'am told me that there are some students who will have special need of me. Look, you will not get any money in this but the college fees will be reduced by about 25%. If you want to do this, let me know."

I had no problem with this work, but teaching a senior student like me would be a little difficult. When we teach small children or children who do not know anything, it is a little easy but it becomes a little difficult to teach a college student like you.

Firstly, he is of our age and on top of that, I have to teach a student of this college. I was about to refuse when my eyes went to the door where Siya was coming in following a professor.

Now what is this girl doing here? Has he received any punishment? One minute, has he not been punished for whatever happened in the canteen today?  What if Ronnie complains about Sia and expels her from the college?

All these questions were roaming in my mind when I heard her and the professor talking. I understood that Siya was having trouble in History and the professor was asking her to take help from someone. Siya did not pay attention but everyone became quiet to listen to her.

Is this girl crazy? If he talks to the professor in this manner, the professor will remain angry with him for the next two-three years, let alone a year. Not only this, he will have to face a lot of trouble in future.Somewhere or the other, some marks are also given by these professors and that professor never gives extra marks to such students.

Then I came to know that Siya needs someone's help. I looked at Professor Maya and asked with my eyes, can I help this girl? Seriously? I asked this question? Why would I help that girl?

Before I could stop the professor for this, the professor asked this in front of everyone. I thought that Siya would be happy to hear this but she refused to do so. But how could anyone mind me? I also said in front of everyone that I will read it because I am its landlord.

I could see that Siya did not like the fact that I was repeatedly calling myself the landlord. I got permission for this and started going towards the library with Siya. I was moving ahead and Siya was following me.I didn't even look at his face but I was able to image his face which was turning red with anger, not at all like a tomato, not like a tomato, not like coal.

" You will get history books from here and,,,"

" Why do you want to help me? You are planning to get me out of the house, aren't you?"

Damn

How does he know about that planning? Om didn't say anything to her?  No he can't do that he is my friend. The newsman was about to ask questions about this but before he could do so he looked at me with a smile and said.

" I heard you and your friend talking in the morning. You want to throw me out of the house and for this you wasted all my food and I did not even get to eat anything."

What nonsense is this, when did I spoil his food?

" Look, I have many other things to do besides spoiling your food. Stop blaming me and I really want to help you. If you are able to do something with my help, that is, if you pass the exam which will come after 2 months, then I will get a reduction in the college fees."

When I told her this, at first I thought that she would not understand what I said but she told me.

" I can understand what it means to meet our expenses along with studies. I also do the same.Nidhi is starting a part time job in a coffee shop from today. "I'm sorry I doubted you."

She looked at me and then she went inside the library. I saw that she was trying to go inside and find the books. I did not tell you but you know that our college is the best college in the city and also the most expensive. I had got very good marks in 12th, in fact I should say that I stood first in the entire city and that is why I got admission here.

My father works as a transporter and he does not have enough money to pay my fees. That's why I also help him a little in his business so that I can supplement my income.

I didn't know that Siya was also going through this problem. I thought that his parents had sent him here and he would be getting his fees from there. I felt so bad after hearing all this that I tried to get this girl to leave the house. When I looked at Siya, she was looking around in the library because our library is very big and if a person gets lost in it, she is not found for three-four years.

I can't afford Siya to  lost in this library. I went to her and took her to the history area and from there to the first class area where she would find the book of his choice. Madam asked me to see the complete list of first year history books from which I had to find out what she wanted to read first.

I first took one of Sikandar's books because she had to read it first. Now I have to help her and in return for helping her, I will automatically be helped. Who knows, I may have to read it for a long time. After reading this quickly, I have to go to my part time job.

I am wondering which coffee shop Siya is in, is she not in my coffee? What if we both work in the same coffee? What do I need from him? Let's work quickly, then you, I have to go to my work too.
