RB International School, Sikkim,
9am in morning, and a black chopper flew over the sky, gaining attention from the children present in the school.
From staffs to the students, everyone ran outside to gather around the private helipad on the school ground listening to the sound of the blades.
Well, students ran out to watch the chopper, while the staffs ran out to welcome the mighty personality sitting inside the chopper!
They stared at the chopper in wonder, as it slowly landed down onto the helipad blowing the dusty ground!
'SC' the emblem in golden colour shone brightly onto the black aircraft, indicating the name of the owner of it.
Team of the gaurds in uniform stepped down first, and one among them opened the door to the passenger seat before helding his hand out for the person inside.
A porcelain like fair, slender hand took the ruff and big hand before a beautiful woman graced everyone with her elegant and youthful appearance!
From children, to elders, everybody stared at the woman in her mid twenties in daze!
The young lady was donning in a maroon colour formal attire, which was elegant, classy, and stylish in once.
"Ms. Chakraborty!"
Soha looked up at the school building, and then at the woman who was approaching her with a polite, and respectful smile, "Good morning, madam!"
"Good morning to you too, madam!" The lady in her mid forties wished back with a big smile, "It's so nice to see you after so long, congratulations!"
Soha received the bouquet from the lady, and passed it to her assistant before shaking hands with her, "Thank you, madam!"
The lady nod her head with a pleasant smile, and spoke further, "Sir's waiting for you!"
"Let's go then!" Soha nod in understanding, and followed the lady, as they entered inside the school building.
RB International School, one of the best schools globally, and the no. 1 in the country.
Status cannot help one to enter inside the gates here, the school where only merit, and merits are welcomed wholeheartedly, and nothing else!
That's why, in this school, there's no nepotism, nor partiality in between the students.
There's only one thing, pure competition of merit among the students, be it rich, or poor!
Knock! Knock!
The lady opened the door after two soft knocks, and the young lady entered inside the room, "Good morning, sir!"
The old man sitting on the chair stood up with a warm smile, and held out his hand, "Morning to you too, Ms. Chakraborty!"
"Please take your seat!" He gestured towards the chair, urging her to sit, after the handshake.
"Thank you sir, how are you?" Soha asked keeping her tone polite, for the old man to nod with a bright smile, "I'm fine, thank you! Firstly, many many congratulations for your victory!"
"Thankyou once again!" Soha smiled a bit, and nod her head before speaking with a tinge of worry, "You called me urgently, is everything fine? Are they alright?"
The old man noticed the concern, and nod his head, "They're absolutely alright, and nothing to worry! Today I called you here to discuss some another matter!"
Knock!
The door to the room opened again, and a staff entered inside with the tea.
After serving the two mighty personality inside, the woman left quietly, leaving them in the room without any disturbance.
Soha took a glance over at the two mark sheets laid on the table in front of her, and reached out to take it!
She looked at the names written over the front page, and opened them one after another to check it out!
The old principal just sat quietly, and sipped his tea, while staring at the young lady, who once was his student also! One of his best, and favourite student!
He could see the surprise, and slow smile on her beautiful but as usual stoic face full of arrogance, and haughtiness!
The smile was full of pride, and surprise, as she studied the marks written inside beside each subjects of the two marksheets!
".....Ho..How did it happened?" Soha looked up towards her teacher cum mentor with eyes full of surprise!
The old man failed to contain his smile anymore, and smiled softly, "I was equally surprised & shocked when I saw the marksheets at first!"
Pride beamed in her eyes as she smiled brightly after listening to the reply, "What you think? Do you think, it can be considered as a success?"
"Well....!!" The old man threw a mysterious smile, and took out another piece of paper from the drawer before giving it to the girl, "Check it out now!"
Soha didn't said anything, and took the paper furrowing her brows. But this time her eyes largened in shock and disbelief, "Impossible!"
"Tell me it's fake!" She looked at the old man in pure disbelief, for him to shake his head with the prideful smile, "It's true! They got hundred out of hundred!"
"But how?!"
"Huuuh!! They did it??!!"
She just read the marks written on the report for another few minutes to realise it was real, and not hallucination!
The principal shook his head in understanding, and spoke out calmly, "The way you reprimanded them that day, it made them realise their mistake! That night they came to me, and accepted their mistakes, also asked for punishment!
They also apologized to the boy, and asked for forgiveness!
In this six months, they not only improved their marks, but also brought an improvement in their performance!
Soha, today I called you here to inform you, they are hopeless, and lifeless without you!
Enough of punishment, now please go and meet them!"
Soha sat quietly, not knowing how to react anymore, her eyes were glistening with tears!
These were the words which she always wanted to hear from this old man, she cannot express how happy and proud she was feeling currently!
Without another word, she stood up, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, before questioning the man, "Where are they?"
The old man smiled with her, and replied to her happily, "At the basketball ground, go and meet them! It's been so long, and they missed you so much!"
"I missed them more!" The girl said tearfully, controlling her emotions, and strode towards the door without waiting anymore!
