Anjali Talks

Simrita finished her story and glanced towards me , she smiled weakly as I stroked her hand. She got upand leftwith a smile, I knew it killedher , but she smiled with tears in her eyes.
I felt a rage , an urge to help these kids , u have just one chance in life theonechance I hadlost . butthey had got 3. They wasted the 2 but I didn’t want them to waste the third. And nothing else but for sure it would help me in washing the sins I had done.
--------------------------------------------------------
I sat upall the night , thinking to stop the misfortune from happening. Before 12th would end, and they would all separate, I had to think of a way which would bring them together. I hadjust 2 months beforeit would all be over.
I thought and thought , searched the internet , read relating books but nothing came to my mind.
I sat half heartedly, howmuch I wanted themto be together , to not make the mistakes I did , to stop them from leading a heavy life. I closed my eyes and saw my angel, burning hottearsrolled down my cheeks to my neck. Myangel ha already done the work for me , I saw , he spokein his high soparino.
‘Poetry my lord ,here descends,
Bringing the feelings from within ,
Poetry if not , why cant come words..??
For the dumb or for the nerds..
Whatever might be theproblem..
Talking is a neccasary solution.”

And thre it was.. my answer. I just had to talk..to all of them individually. Make them understand what they would lose.
I smiled to my self and thanked my angel or this lovely idea he gave.

I set to work from the next morning only. I knew that duing the 3th period break of wedenesday I would be alone in the staff room. So I invited Rehan over to talk with..I already got two cup of coffee from the canteen. Rehan came and I made him sit on one of thechairs. I started the speech I prepared last night.

Rehan do u miss Anya..??

Anjali Di..Yeh kaisa question hai..Di u know--

Rehan..Do u miss her..??

Yes di..

She  misses u too..

What.Did she talk to u..Di –

I read her diary Rehan..

I took out the diary and handed it to him just to look at and forbidded him to read it.
He took it..his hands shaking and he looked up with tearsome eyes.

Why did u read it Di..

For u Rehan..So that u would know why anya did this u know what ---

No Di..I don’t want to know. I don’t want to know anything. Anya was so upset because she lost her diary. Di—How could u do this with her.

But Rehan--

He didn’t bother to even listen and left.
I had no option but to first move on to he second member Sushant.
I told Ravi , another student o the class to send Sushant to the playground with his notebookto avoid suspections. He came there while I silently stood under the trees.

Ma’am My notebook is completely checked just take a look at it --

Sushant sit down please I want to talk.

Ma’am I did allmy work and my marks were also good. Ma’am I didn’t do any misdeed –
Sit down Sushant.

He obeyed silently this time.

Miss Navya don’t u..??

 He stared at me as hard as he could.

Yes I mean No I – i..How do u know..??

Sushant I am sorry..Really but i..Read Anya’s diary.

What I mean how could u..

He stood up..
Apni limits mein rehna seekhiyeMa’am..No offence.
And he left. Would others also do so..I would not tell them about Anya’s diary now. SO I moved on to the next:Neev.

Neev was also in my class , so I asked him to stayin class after Tuesday period. After which was break.
Rehan and Sushant hadbunkedall classes since last Wednesday , but I never said anything if they showed up infront of me.
Neev..Do u miss Simrita.
Yes..
He answered with guilt asked me o nothing.
DO u want to meet her..??Once..Talk to her clear everything..
No..never..I wont be able to resist my feelngs for her ever again.
Neev u need to meet her , why I mean why did u not let her become what she wants whats the harm.
There’s a reason..There’s a reason Anjali Ji.. I – I – My friend she—she – had a boyfriend too but – but – but she sleptwith a – a –a guy who was to give her the model contract.I- - I tdont want simrita to do so..i – I –I don’t want any risks.

I stared at him blankly and felt cold for the irst time after these 2 years.
I oddly left and went to visit Simrita.
She was alone in the class with 2 of her friends who were chit chatting and making posters , simrita seemed lost. I was angry that she had hiddent this from me.
Simrita..Why didn’t u tell me the reason that made u and Neev Separate. I mean he’sr gight if he doidnt want chances I know it must have made u feel bad but u should understand.
What..
Simrita don’t act I talked to Neev he told me everything..Everything u didn’t.l.
What..How could u..
I went to sort it out but he told me about it , about why he refused..
But .. Anjali Di did u even -- --
Why did u lie..if u don’t want me to know u could have just said it..
Why did u lie..
What lie..What the—I don’t know anything about it I swear but –
U don’t..Ohhh..Simrita come here ill tell u..Uknow itll all be right..
No Anjali Di..Stay in ur limits..i told u everything dosent mean that u have solve it all..Leave us how we all are..the way we are is the best..
Simrita Shut up..
 We all turned our heads to see Rehan standing behind us..
Respect her..sheznot only elder but a better human being than u.

Simrita growled.. I was held aback.. Simritahad always been so graceful and so sophisticated inever imagined that she could be like this.
Rehan pulled me out of the room without a word and left  me standing on the left side of the door.

I changed my mind and moved to the next member  : Navya.
So I went to the ground again in hope o findingher practicing. I saw her play with such talent , marvelous it was.
