It So Happened - Part-9

Another day at college in library, I was making notes, heard a blast of laughter’s, it was bit louder. When i turn around to look who are those, who doesn't have so much of sense also,  I saw the breakfast guy with that accident girl at the corner of the reading section. This time my concentration was on that breakfast guy, though that beautiful girl was their I was not admiring her. I was admiring breakfast guy, how he was talking, the way he used to make his hair style proper, As i said earlier, he makes each day one hair style. He was looking very handsome, somewhat different today. Or I was feeling that he was looking different today, since today I was giving more concentration on how he is looking. They didn't stop laughing it continued for longer. I was unable to concentrate on what I was reading; I was unable to sit there. I got up and went near book rack to get some other book and get out of the library.

By the time, I picked some book and came near the librarian, even those two came near librarian, breakfast guy smiled and said, "hey hi, howz ur studies going on? you leave, you would top this time." I just smiled for his words and said, "hi..", Doesn't know, I wanted to ask him, how does he know that girl? When did they meet? When that accident happened, they both were strangers to each other, today so close friends that they spent the time in library together? I was thinking to ask him, by then he turned towards her and was saying some other joke, or some thing which made her to giggle again. I wonder, I just wanted to go out of the library as soon as possible. 

But was that jealous? What I felt? No way, I have no such great feeling, I am not jealous on any? Walking out of library, I thought, oh, he was the one, who brought the book from that mad person; he is such a monster, he bet the mad person and brought the book. I was feeling somewhat anger with him.

Still wasn't sure, was he the one?

At home, I wanted to ask my brother does him aware who was that person who took the book back from mad person? In turn wanted to ask, was the breakfast guy is the one? Since these both were friends, they would have shared their great works of what they do to impress the girls. I tried, but I was unable to ask him at night. 

Early morning, before my brother woke up, I woke up and was making my mind; I need to ask him anyway. My brother woke up and started laughing, "Has the sun raised from west side today? You woke up early than me? whatz the matter sis?". I said, you come for a walk, I shall say you. As we were walking, I maintained utmost silence, my brother tried to make me smile, so he said, "whatz the matter sis? You are so desperate to see that beautiful girl? so you woke early in the morning? Sis, In INDIA such lesbian affairs are not encouraged?", I smiled for his try. I said, "No Bro, not for her?" hearing to that he said, "then??? For whom sis? I never knew.. Who is that??" I smiled again and said, "Nonsense, stop, its not related to anyone here. I just wanted to know, whether you know, who got the book from mad person?". He said, "How would I know, am I any sort of astrologer or any sadhu to tell?"

I said, "i just wanted to know, whether you have any idea?", he felt something fishy in my words, He asked, "Hey are you suspecting me?? or Do you suspect on someone, whom I know?". He always get context of my question, I said, "yeah, no.. am not sure, But i feel, that guy.." I explained whom I was suspecting. My brother started to laugh loudly, he said, "Why are you so bothered about her and that guy sis? From so many days, I feel you are just wasting your time thinking all such nonsense. Concentrate on your externals. Why should this thing bother you sis?"

After hearing his words, i was sure of one thing, i am no more getting the answer for my question.

It So happened - Part-8

How, if that book was with mad person, how did she get it from him, then I thought, looking at her beautiful face, even mad person has accepted all her words and gave her the book might be. I kept that book back at the rack and then started to move out. By then I saw sagarika, she was approaching towards the account section. By then the librarian addressed her and said, "Hey madam, you dont have to pay the fine now, the book has been returned, one of your friend came and returned the book. " She was totally surprised; she said "what? my friend? who is that?" Librarian addressed her "How would I know, he never said me the name, my work is to collect the book I collected it thatz it". 

This news surprised not only for she, for me also it was shocking news. I was now curious to know who was that person? how did he get to know, I felt I was only knowing that the book was the mad person. Know I want to know, who else knew about mad person having the book?

From that day, I was unable to find the mad person at the circle signal also. So this again created another unresolved mystery for me. 

As days passed, one evening I was studying in the room, I found my brother was chatting with someone; He was very much delighted while chatting. I was so curious wanted to know, who he is chatting, just peeped. I could just see the name of the chatter it said "angel.cupid" is it a girl? Might be.. I wasn't sure. But I started to tease my brother "oh...its a girl there". He also took it cool and said yeah it’s the same beautiful accident girl, whom u described. My rage was intolerable after hearing that words, You dare to chat with her, I shall kill you seriously. He smiled for my words and went away from the room.

I wish that was joke itself, If he is really chatting with her, I shall seriously kill my brother. Sometimes i do suspect if he is the one who returned the book in library, since I had said him about the girl, book and mad person. Somehow I still believe he would have said me, if any thing such was so? So, i felt i am simply creating a mess on all this things.

At college, our externals dates were announced, no more surprise, we all were aware of it. We had four weeks, means one month of period to prepare for our externals. Cool, so attending classes also reduced from the day external dates were announced, I am not good student, but I never want to bunk classes unnecessarily, I dont like it, Cool charm, i do bunk classes sometimes, reason I am not feeling like attending.  Thatz college life, we choose when to go to college and when not, our choice.

Still after announcing external dates we had classes for another two more weeks. Some students used to attend the class. I used come as usual early to college and attend the classes. Breakfast guy, he seems to be not attending the classes like others. One day, I saw him near the college gate, Thought he has time to roam, can’t he come to class and attend. That day to great surprise, he came to class, felt as if he can hear my silent words, telepathy works. I smiled as soon as I saw him entering the class.

Smile from other end was not returned, he came just for time pass sort might be, he wasn't glad to be in class. Who the hell feels glad right? I feel, I feel very glad to attend class.

After the class, the breakfast guy was the first to get out of the class, as if he was waiting desperately, for the class to end. I delayed to come out from class, something was not in mood to be with my friends, wanted to be alone.

While getting down through the stairs, our class was at 3rd floor, at the corridor of 2nd floor, I saw breakfast guy with that accident girl, they both were laughing, might be the breakfast guy said some joke, I was feeling very depressed, May be I was feeling jealous, Great shock! Why should I feel jealous? Do I have any sort of feeling towards that breakfast guy? No, I never had nor have anything? Then why am I feeling jealous, depressed? 

I walked back to bus stop with depressed mood. Without understanding why was I depressed? On the way back to home, I saw the mad person, Wow, after a long back, my eyes kept watching him. He had some bandages tied to his hands and on head; I was unable to understand what exactly happened with him? Why did he have bandages? Was he in hospital till now? Did he met with an accident or somebody bet him? I felt, something like; the accident girl's boyfriend would have bet him for grabbing the book from him. if that is the reason, I really wanna know, who that monster is so? I was feeling pity for the mad person, who was badly hurt. His bandages was also not dressed properly, the wound was to be seen out.

It So happened - Part -7

So, the mad person had the book, he was saying the book's name "Operating systems". It was here that girl lost her book. I looked around, but was unable to find the mad person. I thought I need to say that girl, which her book is with this mad person, Somehow we can get the book from this mad person by talking to him coolly. At home, I had talk with my mother with this also, She said, you don’t go behind any mad person; just convey the message to that girl. If at all you want to help her take your brother with you. Don’t confront alone with the mad person. I said yeah thatz also true mom. I did some studying and then went for a sleep. My brother was always late for home. Mom waits for him to return late night; she serves food for him and then goes for sleep. Some days I never know when my brother did came, sometimes I doubt he came home also. Today also he was late.

Early morning, it was again a wake up call from my brother for a morning walk; I woke up and went with him. This time I didn't wanted to avoid going to park, since I wanted to talk with that girl and say that her library book was with that mad person. So, at park I was looking around in search of her. My brother asked, "whatz the matter sis? You seems like you are searching for someone? is your boy friend gonna come here today?" I said, "Oh yeah, He said he would be coming, hasn't come still i thought i shall introduce you to him." He acted as if he was shocked, he knew I was kidding, He added with my statement, "Oh really! thatz great sis, I shall inform this news to mom also as well" and he behaved as if he is gonna dial my mother's number. I said, "Hey Ranjan, was kidding, I am searching for that accident girl." He smiled and said, "Wow! To introduce me, you should have said me before itself I would have dressed up properly." I said, "Huh, Ranjan I didn't mean anything as such, I shall never leave that thing to happen, I doubt on you. The issue is..." I stated him the reason why I was waiting to meet her. 

My waiting for her went in vain. She didn't turn up. I thought I shall meet her at college itself. At college I was waiting for her, found her climbing the stairs, I raised my voice to talk with her, she moved as if she was least bothered or concerned to talk with me. She completely ignored me. My foot, I wanted to help her, she is such a head strong girl. Who the hell wants to help her, let she pay the fine. I went to my friends group, and said this situation bit exaggerating what happened, let she pay the fine, She deserves it. My voice was bit louder, since I was angry with her attitude. My other class mates started to stare at me.

Controlling my anger I kept silence. One of my friend said, "Cool yaar, its fine, it happens leave it, cool now, why should you be bothered about her? Right.. Cool.." I said yeah. Still my heart wasn't convinced with anything, was feeling bad and insulted. 

After two days, when I went to library again, was somewhat curious to know, whether she has paid the book fine or not yet? Still somewhat I wanted to help her. I wanted to ask the librarian, but she is always in bad temper, feels scared to talk with her, she would yell at me also, for no reason. So, then how to know, whether she has paid or not? Thinking that I moved towards the book rack, I was looking into the same name book "Operating Systems", was opening each book, for time pass, to get any idea, how to know whether she has paid the fine yet or not. Turning the pages of the book I saw at the end page of the book, something was written it says, "One who would make the difference". Suddenly I remembered it was the same words which the mad person took.

Same book, same words, looked at the number of the book with great surprise. Wasn't sure its same number, looks to be similar? Now, I desperately wanted to know, whether its the same book, which she lost? She gave back the book to library or paid the fine? Now after her last behavior wasn't interested to talk with her also. Then how? how to get to know about this?

I moved towards the reading section holding the same book in hand. Started to go through that book. I found some slip inside that book; it was small and seems to be attached to the book, that was the reason. I opened the slip and read the writings on it. It was a medical prescription, which was addressed to Sagarika. It was that accident girl's name. Oh, so its her book itself. So, she returned this book? but How?
