RAINY SEASON

All of ma memorable events were took place in rainy season, the rain knows ma pain, happiness, worries…etc , after all that I cried for someone in a rainy day.

Before telling this story I have to take u about 10 years back, now am at 8th standard.

Hmm it’s so cold outside, I covered ma body with the blanket, and whoa it’s about 7.30 am.

Amma called me and she dragged ma hands and legs to wakeup, after some times a cup of water opened ma eyes, and ran outside the front door, woow raindrops I touched them they smiled at me and when I looked at the sky the sun hide in the clouds.
It’s about 8.30am am waiting for school van a heavy bag on ma shoulder. Ma hair, face, eyes were covered with oil, van arrived I jumped into it.
At that time I thought about the math’s assignment in the previous day, god… didn’t do that.

Before entering to ma class you should know abt ma math’s skill, I was very poor in multiplication, division, subtraction but I knw the addition and multiplication table very well. Am always confused with the 9’s in the subtraction 1000-1=999(always think abt where the hell is these 9’s are coming from), don’t have any idea about triangle, circle, lines….actually am a big zero in math’s.

Ok guys here we are, this is ma class 8H, oops I have assignments to be completed god... teacher is coming, her name is Rajaleksmi, she is so beautiful, sharp in maths, strict and like brilliant students, I till remember the name”Neeranj” he was her favorite student, am not a bright one always hide in the back bench and will not look at her eyes.

Gosh…. she has answer papers in her hands, called name one by one and gave the paper to students, at last she called me, Dhanil das, she didn’t say the mark, mmm I read the mark 8/50,oh it was highest score in ma math’s history. To pass the whole exam I should score 10 marks per each paper and total of 210, so I needed 2 more mark. I searched the paper again and again, hmm no chance. At that moment I noticed a big gap in on Q17 and I thought abt manipulating the answer sheet, so decided to write answers there.

If anyone has doubt about their marks meet me @staff room, miss said, I raised ma hand and followed her. Wow it’s so beautiful outside, the raindrops, wind, clouds, rainbow were talking with ma eyes, they said “Dhanil don’t go there” , I still remember the murmuring of leaves from the trees.

@office: - she analyzed ma paper and said u was right Dhanil, I didn’t see these answers. At that moment a wind opened the closed window and miss noticed the difference in the ink. Are u cheating me dhanil? Miss asked with a trembling voice. No miss am not, I replied, she again analyzed the paper and judged dhanil u have manipulated the paper. Oh god… am totally busted.

She called the other teachers, now am surrounded by some suspicious eyes and scolding mouths, am free zed, melted like a candle, miss I will not repeat again, I asked her forgiveness hmm, they tortured me abt 30 mts, at last miss judged you have to bring your father and mother tomorrow otherwise u cant sit in ma class, ohhh again a big blow on ma head. I walked to class didn’t see the raindrops, wind, rainbow but I was melting in that cold climate, friends asked about the event but I didn’t say nothing to them, I was still shivering there.

@home: - what happened kanna? Amma asked mmm nothing amma, I said. I can’t sleep that night; the events happened were repeated like an infinite loop in ma mind, prayed to god to end this world. Actually I was scared to say these things to amma bcoz I didn’t do such a thing before in ma life.

After that I didn’t see Rajaleksmi miss for months and heard some rumor that she has got fever, but I didn’t pray for that to god. Still I can remember the sleepless nights in that months, couldn’t enjoy cricket, films, onam, vishu, games…etc even ma birthday bcoz of that god damn incident.

After months miss arrived in our class, I hide in the back bench; we have one more class on next day, last class in that year. I just escaped from her eyes on that day, but I have one more day to face. I ran to home.

@home: - Amma was there, am not feeling good today and not going tomorrow, I said. But she compelled me to go.

@class:-I hide in the last bench, we have 10 more minutes to rang the bell, this time she captured me and scolded me in front of whole class, hmm when the bell rang I ran, ran, ran away from school, miss and friends to home, at that moment I didn’t see anything in ma way bcoz ma eyes were filled with tears.

Years passed, season changed, again a rainy season now am 10th standard, learned basics of maths. I shocked when I saw the math’s teacher, again Rajalekshmi miss. I hide in the back bench again and didn’t look at her eyes. She took some class tests and I scored full marks in each test, she looked at me when she gave me the paper but I didn’t.

We had progress card signing session, called every parent for that, I thought miss had forgotten everything and I was waiting outside the class, amma was attending our teachers comments, when I looked through the window miss was talking something with amma, ma heart beat fastened, am freezing now and melting like an ice cube on fire. Gosh… I ran towards verandah, still there was rain outside; it may be ma tears.
After some times amma walked towards me and smiled, what did she say about me? I asked with a shivering voice and expression, nothing but u are improving, amma replied.

Hooo, everything is over, miss forgave me for ma sin.
I thank a 1000times to god and now I have to thank Rajalekshmi miss bcoz she gave me an inspiration to learn math’s.
Still am waiting for a rainy season talk,feel,share everything with the rain drops 

Fact: Till now amma doesn’t know anything abt this incident, and after 10th I didn’t see Rajalekshmi miss and am expecting that I can meet miss on this June, another rainy season.
