All the students congratulated Ola who came to the class.
"I can not believe it, Ola you became the editor of the magazine ...."Ela told Ola....
"Me too Ela....."Ola replied....
"Let's celebrate this one.....I have told John to arrange it in the canteen...John and his friends will join us in the celebration....."
"No.. No....No need for that.No need to celebrate with seniors,I do not know them and
I'm afraid to celebrate with them...."
"Ola, listen to me,You are currently the magazine editor at this college,So you have to talk face to face with a lot of people,that includes celebrities....Then you have to be a little braver, Let this celebration be a start.....".
Ola felt that Ela was right, "Why am I scared" she asked herself.....
"Ola,What do you think?Will you come in the afternoon to celebrate?..."
"I will come"....
"Good....Let me go over to John....."
"Now the class will start"
"I do not attend this class,...."
Ela said this and walked out of the class.
No matter what class Ela attends, she will get good marks in that subject...But Ola did get good marks only if she studied hard....
In afternoon...
Ela and Ola arrived at the canteen...John, Mahi, Alan and Noel were waiting for them both in the canteen.....When she saw them all, Ola asked Ela softly,
"Are these all your lovers?" Ola asked jokingly....
"What a joke"Ela replied sarcastically.....
The seniors knew Ela well so they all talked to her quickly but the seniors were a little worried about Ola.They were worried about how to welcome Ola to this celebration.
"Why are you so worried" Ela asked them with a laugh.Then she put her hand on Ola's shoulder and said "This is our girl, one of us".
On hearing this, Mahi smiled and looked at Ola. Then he congratulated Ola for getting the new position.After Mahi, John, Alan and Noel complimented her. Ola gladly accepted all those compliments. Then cut a small cake with the seniors.Ola could not quickly establish a friendship with them. She was the only one who could not fully participate in the celebration. When given a chance, she escaped from the party and walked back to class."Ola is not like Ela", Mahi thought to herself when he saw Ola leaving the celebration...
On the way to class, Ola wondered if they felt any resentment at my full participation in the celebration.She reached the front of the class. She realized that someone was teaching in the class. "This is a new voice, and no teacher with this voice teaches," she thought to herself.She peeked through the classroom window to see who was teaching inside. "Oh Deepak sir, was this your period sir? I missed your first class sir ... what can I do now" she said slowly putting her hand on her head....
"Who is that .... come inside ..." Deepak saw Ola peeking out of the window and called out .... "Aww ...." Ola held her head again in fear.
She slowly made her way into the class, calling out in her mind, "My God."
"Do you come to class when i finish teaching the chapter ?" Deepak asked Ola angrily.
"Sorry sir" she replied.
"Is this the answer to what I asked ..." he asked her again.
"Sir, I went to attend a celebration held by the seniors."
"Are you the student who described my novel yesterday?" Deepak asked looking at Ola carefully....
"Yes sir..."
"You narrated the novel well ... congratulations .... then feel free to ask me if you have any doubts regarding magazine editing ...."
"Sure sir.... and Thank you so much sir..."
"Don't miss my class anymore .... this is my warning."
"I will not repeat again, sir"
"Come to my office after the last period, I will tell you the chapter I taught today, this chapter is very important."
"I will come, sir"...
"Yes.... then...you go to your seat.... Miss....."
"Ola..."
"Yes.... Ola"....
Ola went to her seat and sat down. She felt so embarrassed. This is the first time in my life that I have ever felt ashamed in front of a teacher.She took a vow in her mind that she would never cut class again.By then, the class was over.Deepak walked out of the class. The next class was for her a subject of great interest.Another teacher came into the classroom to teach the next subject.She asked herself what was happening to me.Today for the first time she is not able to pay attention to the class of her favorite subject.
The evening class ended......
Ola slowly walked to the teachers' room.How should I start talking to Deepak sir. She began to feel very tense.She went and stood in front of the teachers' room. Suddenly a teacher inside asked her if she was going home. Deepak heared it and looked at Ola.
"Come in ..." Deepak told her. Ola walked over to him.
"Today's an essay taught, about nature's heritage. That chapter is very important."
"Yes sir"
"What yes?...Deepak asked a little angrily.
"Sir.....,I have read that essay..."
"Oh.....Then please tell me that essay....."
"Sure sir...."
Ola was a little scared and started describing the essay but she finished the essay very nicely.....
Ola again impressed Deepak.But he kept it secret.
"Sir, let me go....."
"Sure, you can go now..."
"Thank you sir......"
ola went from there.
That night she slept soundly.......
.......Who brought this book here ... She went closer to pick up the book. But as she got closer, the book flew away. ola tried to catch it but she couldn't move.......
She slowly woke up from the dream .....Oh, it's so late ..... Ela went to college ... She jumped out of bed looking at the clock. Then she was ready to go to college soon.
"Hiii...."Mahi stopped the car when she saw Ola walking on the road....
"Hi Mahi"
"Isn't it late?"
"Yes "
"Come on ... I'm going to college too...."
"Hey no ... I can walk away. I like walking."
"It takes a long time to walk to get to college.....Come on".. ... he opened the car door.
She accepted his help....Ola sat in the car very quietly. Mahi looked at Ola and laughed and said,
"Ela talks a lot but why is you behaving so quietly."
Ola smiled when she heard this question .... Then she looked at Mahi and said,
"How many times have I asked myself this question".....
"And then got the answer?...."
"No....."she smiled.....
"In the evening i Will give you a lift....."
"No, Thanks...."
Mahi quickly stopped the car, took a book from the back seat and stretched it towards Ola....It was a novel. Deepak's new novel, its first copy...Ola saw Deepak's name at the bottom of the book and bought the book from Mahi....
"Is this Sir's new novel?..."
"Yes....."
"Where did Mahik get this ...?"
"It doesn't say .... this is the first copy. Do you want this novel?"
"Just read the Mahi and give it to me."
""I want to hear the story. Just read the story and tell me the story....."
When she heard this, Ola smiled in her mind and then remembered that Mahi had asked her to tell a story like this earlier...She bought that book.....
Ola and Mahi came to college...They both went to their respective classes.....
Suddenly Mahi's phone rang.....He picked up the phone....
"Hello...."
"I am Deepak"
"Why do you call now?"
"Did you give the book I gave you to give for Ola?"
"Yes.....".
