One day I had to go to school all alone by myself. I waited for Sita to come to the chautarii where I used to wait for her to come and we would go to school together. Well I waited for her for more than half and hour. There were students passing by me and they were asking meh if I am going to school or not? I would just ignore their question and not listen to them. I waited but then I knew that I was going to be late for my school. So, I thought of heading to school. I had to walk about 1 kilometers of distance all by myself as all the students goes to school using the same way that I use might have been to school already. I knew that I would be late for the school assembly. I just walked lazily. Luckily I got to school before the first period started.
The day went quite boring. I was all alone the whole day. I had no concentration in class. I got quite a few nice comments from the teachers. The school was over finally. I had a long breathe to take after the school was over for that day. I went home and had my khaja. After that I tried to call Sita. As I was curious why she wasn't present today. I called her but she never picked up her cell fone. Then I called her home number. But nobody received the fone. I tried many times . All my efforts to know what really happened to Sita was in vein. So, I decided to go to Sita's home and see her.
Sita's home is about 10 mins away frm my house. I had no problem walking 10 mins as I was worried about what happened to my friend. So, I rushed to Sita's home. I reached there within couple of minutes.
When I reached there. I saw Sita laying in the bed. I was surprised to see her on the bed . Moreover the main door of the house wasn't locked. It was just open. Anyone could enter the house and none would know it. I could see Sita trying to close her eyes and sleep .
As I saw her on the bed. I went nearby her . I wanted to know know why she wasn't present today in school. As I talked thing changed all of sudden.
Kavita- Sita what happened to you ? And why is the door open?
Sita- Well nothing I just had head ache, fever and minor body pain.But I am far better that I was this morning . [She replies meh back with smile in her face. To just pretend that she's fine.]
Kavita- [ I could see her feeling uncomfortable while she's sleeping and could see her breathing not in a normal way ] Well are you feel good . Yu seem to be finding hard to lay urself on the bed.
Sita- I am fine. Well I find it always hard to rest on this bed. This bed is little awkward and uneasy to rest on.Well that's why I am feeling uncomfortable. Yu don't have to worry I am fine.
Kavita- [ I could see a bandage on her forehead and arm.So, I was curious to know what happened actually] Hey, can you tell meh why you are wearing those bandage?
Sita- [ Replies to my question in rather awkward way. I could sense that she didn't want to say what happened actually] I ... fell off the chair last night. I was trying to fix the bulb of the varanda. At that time i tripped off the chair and i got hurt on my forehead and arm.
kavita- How are you feeling now ? Don't tell meh it doesn't hurt or don't act. Tell me the truth.
Sita- Well why would I lie to you. I am saying the fact . I am feeling better now. I think I will come to school after couple of days of leave. Well could you write a leave application and give it to the Principal frm my side Please!!!
Kavita- [ I couldn't say no coz she's my friend moreover she had injury on the right arm .She uses her right hand for everything mostly as she's right handed. So, didn't feel hesitated to say that I would help her.] yesh! Of course I'll write. Don't worry about it . You take care of ur health and eat on time and sleep on time. Well don't think about homework.
Sita- [ Replies with cheerful smile on her face.] Sure, I will .
Kavita- [ I was curious to know why she didn't pick up my fone call.So, asked her ]Well I called you several times but yu didn't receive my call? I guess you were sleeping at that time. [ All of sudden I give the questions answer myself.] Well don't worry you don't have to say why you didn't receive the fone call. I can understand. Yu are sick and have body ache . Yu should take rest. Now I'll go . I'll see you back in the school when you are 100% fit.
[ita just smiles back to meh and gives meh a gesture assuring that she'll be fine soon.]
It was already 7:00 pm and I had to rush back home coz I had to do alot of homeworks . And I had to help my mom in the kitchen. So I thought I should say goodbye.
Kavita-Hey don't think too much and don't get worried you'll be fine and where is Papa and mama. [ I couldn't stop asking coz I didn't see them around the house. And I am too talkative]
SIta- Well they went to the market to do some shopping. I guess they'll be around here around within half and hour.I just told them to leave the door open as I won't be able to go there and open the door.
Kavita- Well stop hiding things frm meh. Tell meh if anything happened with ur legs or not. [ I know it was stupid question to ask as she was sick and this is my stupid bad habit that I can't stop asking about things.]
Sita- [ She is not at all annoyed by all my question but just answers all my questions with patience and full of smile in her face. But she didn't question me any question not even a single] Well nothing has happened to my leg it's just due to the pain that I have on the back. I can't hold myself sometimes. So, it's better I leave it open. AM I right, kaviee ?
Kavita- Well yeah you are right but don't you fear to leave the door open?
[ I always make sure the door is close proper at home. So, had some unfamiliar expression on my face I guess that's why Sita's facial expression changed ]
Sita- Well I know it's scary but I am bold and strong enough to face the fear. And feel no pain when I have to face anything that comes as an obastacle in my life.
[ I could sense some kind of extra energy being stored within herself. I felt so good to see that in her.I was late so I decided to go home. And say goodbye ]
Kavita- Hey, it's been quite late , I have to go now. I was worried about you so much today. I now feel good coz you are feeling good. I'll see you soon in school. I'll be waiting for you. And I'll come to see you on weekends and other days if possible.
[ I waved my hand to her before leaving her house and said goodbyee. She too waved her hand as a gesture of goodbye. Then I came back out inside the house to say goodnight and sweet dreams.]
After leaving the house I could feel that my heart is heavier than it was the whole day. I could sense some kind of cold air going through my mind making meh feel cold with all that I am thinking. As I saw my close friend laying on the bed trying to rest but she wasn't able to do so. I kept on thinking what might have happened. I thought that she might have lied me. And also said to myself why would she lie.Why would she make a joke of the pain she is having righ now. I kept on thinking if she said the truth or not...!!! I was on my way home. It took 24 mins for meh to get home.
