SECOND PART OF THE LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE


The real importance of a thing you come to know only when its not with you. I was desperate to attend the classes, the same class which we just hated to go and attend.

I woke up at 5 o'clock in that morning took a bath for half an hour, combed my hairs for next 15 minutes, wore milky white shirt and blue pant and reached the class half an hour before. I opened the doors and windows of the classroom, switched on all lights and fans and waited patiently till the next person came. Everybody greeted me like a leader coming out of jail. I was unable to decide weather its a moment of pride or embarrassment.

Blackboard had never looked so beautiful before. I took down every word teacher said or wrote in that class. I was so happy that day that nobody can imagine without being under same circumstances himself. It felt like I would have got another life, escaping narrowly from death.

But my problems were not coming to an end. During break between 10 to 10:15 I saw chief warden and wished him. He told me "you have to work hard before the issue settles". "What are you saying sir? Issue has not settled yet?" I asked in somewhat disbelief, he smiled and walked away saying go and meet your H.O.D.
