In the staff room, MY CSE teacher was talking about me with all other staffs sitting there when I entered the room. Everyone gave me a nasty look and started doing their work. The room was completely silent.
Me: Excuse me mam, You asked me to come and meet you.
Mam: ….
Me: Mam??
Mam: (looking up) hmmm wait. Learn some patience. You girls want everything to happen very soon in life and then by the time you realize the truth the bridge is well under the water. Go stand near the door.
Me: (Confused)
After half an hour -
Mam: Hey you come here. What were you doing with that guy in the corridor?
Me: Which guy mam?
Mam: oh that guy with whom all you girls spend all your time. You know how much your parents spend for your education? You girls are born to bring shame to your family? Now what were you doing?
Me: I can’t understand anything you are talking about. I am not exactly sure which guy you are talking about too. But if it is Vikas then yes I do speak with him and I do consider him as a good friend. But that was till yesterday. Now I myself am not sure if I should continue talking with him or not. And that was exactly what I was telling him standing in the corridor. We stand in the corridor and talk because of the power cut and also not to disturb those who were writing assignments.
Mam: What about your assignments? You never want to study – you girls?
Me: I am not writing my assignments because I have already completed them. And for your kind information, I am the department 1st in the 1st cycle test and also the class Representative, you may not know this because I am not from your department. I know why I am here If I did fall in love with him or any guy for that matter, it is my life’s choice, I am 18 and I think I have the rights to make that choice for myself. I am sure you are not telling me that to marry or fall in love in itself is wrong.
The whole room was silent and everyone looked at each other.
