Right after I pleaded with my mom, I asked her if she could keep it hush-hush from dad. I should have expected this from her; she did tell my dad about the letter but kept the smoking part as under-cover. And I was less than unhappy to know about my mom’s act. My dad called me and just said one thing “Its your life…your education. If you prove it, you will succeed, if you don’t, you go to grave.” What the hell was my dad talking to his son? I thought to myself and nodded like a disciplined child. And he also said he will be humiliated to come to school and talk to my faculties about my letter matter and I agreed to what he said. And so he wanted me to handle the situation myself.
Next morning, at the office room, I stood like a murderer who is goanna plead to the judge for himself. And the judge was my principal. Where are your parents? She asked. Out of station ma’am, I said. Since when? She asked. From last night, after acknowledging the report card ma’am, I said. She gave me a grin which conveyed thousands of stuff but to me at that point it just meant “IS THAT ALL?” I interrupted her even before she could ask me any thing. Ma’am… What??? She asked. I’m changing my residence and this is my change of address, I said. Get it changed in office room, she said.
Hell YEAH!!! This is a part of my plan. Where in, if I give a change of address, all the letters addressed to my folks henceforth will be diverted. And I felt gifted for that idea at that moment. Imagine, even the letter of butchery would not reach my folks, I thought to myself with haughtiness.
In Hindi class, I enjoyed my presence merely because of Neethi. She was this Bharathanatyam dancer look-alike girl, who had the perfect sonata to make heads turn. She was not tall but definitely carried herself and carried my angels along too. I always sat opposite to her and ogled her with out getting sporadic and that made my senses recharge unimaginably.
Yeah, like I expected, quarterly exams were scheduled to start and already I have failed in Hindi and Math and Accounts in all my term papers. This means, I passed only in Economics, Commerce and English. I didn’t care much, as usual. As Ashwin got rank and Oana managed to get pass marks. And I was the only one to fail again. I still lift my collar. Like I cared.
“I’m getting rank,” I thought to myself but got distracted, easily!
I saw a girl in an internet café with my schools’ uniform and I saw the same girl exiting the café in Jeans and a top. Confused? So was I. But they were twins and my seniors. “You look cute; my sister said, said one of the twin sisters and exited.” Who me??? Are you nuts??? I thought to myself at modest and marched to my cabin.
Next morning, I notice her-I talk to her-I get her number-I chat with her-I roam with her-I date her-I went for a walk with her- I KISSED her- I took her for a ride (in my BIKE GUYS, okay, My bro’s bike)-I like her I thought to myself. The same evening I get a call. Someone said “Dai Baadu… Enna? Suchi oda suthariyame?” meaning are you the asshole roaming with Suchi? I hung up on the call as I was earnestly preparing for my exams. Bell rings again, bro picks up the call, “BEEP BEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP.” They are censored words and my brother just asked me “Yaaru da adhu Suchi?” meaning who is this babe Suchi? It’s the gal I date, who is my senior in Bio group, whom I have been kissing for a week now, who likes me like a nocturnal animal, who is cute-hot-SEXY too… I wanted to say. But just said, MY FRIEND anna. He looked at me differently in that 17 years and just said “Vandilae Yaeru” meaning get in the car. We went to the near by gym where he picked up his friends and they were all at least 6 foot tall with well built exaggerating physique.
We were now travelling in a jeep with three of my bro’s friend, my bro and me. Where are we going? I asked. Tell me who Suchi is? My bro asked. I explained him everything and I noticed my bro’s friends were envying me and I could felt the heat and so I stopped. “Then???” Asked my bro’s friend. Nothing I said, which I didn’t mean though. Pervert, I thought to myself.
The car then stopped in Mundakanni Amman Theru in Mylapore, opposite a police station. I panicked and realized Suchi’s ex boyfriend had called up and thinking it was me must have abused my bro. And my bro in return, being protective, brought all his friends to beat up this senior of mine who is Asst. Commissioners Son. They all got down and locked me up in the jeep (I told you my bro is protective). They spoke and spoke and spoke and BANG BANG BANG… My senior got his face RAPED from my bro.
Apparently, he was just a constable’s son and the guy who accompanied my bro was originally the Asst. Commissioners son. “Company” I thought to myself.
Next day morning my bro picks up me and Suchi and drives us crazy as well as to the school. He didn’t utter a word but that evening all his friends had come and my bro jus said “MACHA SEMMAE FIGURE DA AVA” meaning what a BABE? Pervert, I thought to myself. But later that week, my seniors were literally pissing on their pants to even walk across me. And I felt that the same wrestler was walking back to his den.
Ashwin, Oana, Ksu (interesting character in my class, a good friend too) and few other girls and babes enquired about the incident. And I virtually went on to elucidate the ACCIDENT to them. And just as I was finishing, Suchi came to the access strip and called me out (11th std guy going out with a 12th std gal, BABE was VIRAL). And she gave me a Cadburys Fruit and Nut. I relished… Not the chocolate but her presence and ASHWIN AND OANA savored the chocolate. Bastards…
As usual, failed in MATH-ACCOUNTS-HINDI in quarterly exams. Letters sent but to the wrong address. I go there personally to collect the letters and BURNT it myself.
Failed uninterruptedly in all my assessment. I didn’t CARE much as usual and Ashwin (THEVIDIYA) scored some 90 odd per cent ;-( Yes, the amount of hurt you get when your friends’ score is more than the hurt when you fail.
Results didn’t have an impact on my excursion. But my seniors did!!!
Needless to say… Comment until I post my next ;-)
