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?

It So Happened - Part 6

Way back to home at circle signal was desperately looking for someone; yeah I hope you guessed it was the mad person. Something i was very keen to know the story behind the numbers. I feel mad person says something great words, they have something meaning in their words. So was looking for him at the window, I found him talking with traffic policeman. He was holding something blue thing, which he wanted to show to the policeman. But policeman was least bothered at it. I was completely ignoring it. I was trying find out, what is that blue thing, it looked like a book. By then my bus moved.

Rest of the day went as usual. Early morning when my brother tries to wake me for morning walk, I was feeling so sleepy, and moreover am lazy too. I murmured in sleeping mood, that I want to sleep for still more time, he can carry on. Suddenly my mind thought about accident girl. I just woke and said "no no.. I am also coming for a walk with you wait.. Shall get ready in 10 mins." So had a refreshing walking, I avoided going to the park. Somehow doesn't want my brother to go to the park.

At college, as usual was early to college, was looking at around, saw breakfast guy with his friend, he was making fun of his friend, I was unable to hear his words from such far, but yeah I could make out by his expressions, Looking at the expressions even I started to smile. By then my friends came near me, they started to pull my legs, asking "why are smiling? What are you thinking? Now days you are smiling a lot?" Uff when any single person smiles that too alone, then they are sure to become the victim for teasing. Now, if I had said, the reason behind my smile was that breakfast guy, then my friends would have teased me more. So kept quite.

During lunch time, I went to library to get my books renewed. I was moving towards the librarian, for god grace yaar, that accident girl overtook me, charm I myself could have offered her to go before me; there is no need for her to overtake me. I just thought in heart and smiled. I just bent my head to look at the books I was carrying. In turn doesn't want my eyes to catch her beautiful face. Somewhat I felt, she is bit proud at her beauty. Even i started to ignore her and stood next to her to get my book renewed. She handed some books to librarian to renew. While the librarian was renewing the books, she said with her sweet voice, "Actually I had lost one book, do I need to pay fine for it". After hearing that words, damn librarian temper raised like anything she started to shout, "Then what do you think, you have just conveyed the message to me with your sweet voice and go? You need to pay double the cost of the book, don’t you have so much of responsibility, you careless girl, you carry books to college for fashion huh what??" A small smile appeared on my face, something i felt, you deserve it yaar, you can’t even smile at me, when I gave the throw ball is it.

The librarian voice was bit louder, almost all around started to stare at her. Even i turned towards her. She was bit confused what to say to the librarian. She looked so sweet, her pinky cheeks, lovely lips, I was so close to her that I just kept staring at her, admiring her beauty. I tried so much not to stare at her, this time I was unable to divert my concentration. I started to stare at her hair style, her facial features it was so beautiful. By then something flashed in mind, God stop staring yaar, hope she doesn't fall unconscious again.

Librarian continued her scolding’s "You need to pay the fine within one week of time. You careless girl, Remember to get the fine by one week, which was that book. You can get to know the fine amount at the account section of library check out with them." As all were staring at her, she felt bit embarrassed and her eyes filled with bit water. I was able to see it.

She collected the renewed books and moved towards the account section, that was other corner of the desk. I got my books also renewed, by then I heard the account person stating a number of 7 digits. I felt something as if I have heard/seen that numbers before. I was recollecting that numbers and headed towards my class. In the class, I was chit chatting, and i did hear to lecturers lecture also, to say true I hear but sometimes I wonder why I can’t hear anything and I understand zero. But today, I was able to get what the lecturer was saying. After completing my class I went back to my home. At way back to home, I was again searching for that mad person, and then I realized, the number which the librarian took was the same number the mad person took.
