My naani came to see me and I was already having a heavy heart sitting in the big wooden swing in my home. Whenever I see my nani I ll jump into excitement but today everything looks so empty.
Looking at me naani asked me what's wrong ? I said my friend left the school and im sad. She said I got one replacement to fill your void place. I dint even had the interest to probe her about that.
Mom had packed my clothes as it was Friday and naani came to take me to her home. Naani understood my upset mood and booked a Rickshaw for travel.
I heard the bell of Rickshaw and asked him what's it? He said come let's go. Call your granny. I looked back and saw naani smiling at me asking Chalo let's go. I was surprised to see it.
I asked the Rickshaw wala name and he told I'm Japan. I laughed hearing that and asked what's Japan doing in India? He smilingly said, came to make your sad face turn happy. I was laughing hearing that. Days back then people were too good in terms of sharing good gestures.
Slowly we reached home and naani gave him the the fare. He waved his hands and told a big Tata. I too was like okkkk.
When I stepped into my house I saw my cousin named Waahi. I was so happy to see him. He was then studying his 9th std. my first crush I could say. He said I'm glad to see you. I thought you won't be here.
I dono what to say. I asked him when did he come and he said we would have left by now if we would have delayed by 5more mins.
He told me why are you still having this boy haircut? He also said you will look nice if you have a long hair…. For a second I forgot all my worries and started flying…
I was imagining myself with a long hair and he is taking me for a ride in a horse…he brought me back to reality by calling Piku listen I need your help. I asked him yes what ?
I grew up looking my grand parents love I was so much into searching one for me. But my naani always tells me that love will happen on its own. We no need to search.
I thought like what if Waahi is the one? He asked me for a favour by asking one more time saying Piku…will you do it? I said yes I will..
He handed over me his record note and his Friend's note for reference. He asked me to copy all the 15 pages before morning. I was like what ? He said yes I ll stay here tonight we both ll finish this.
I was like am I dreaming? I again asked him are you really staying tonight? He said yes if you are ready to help. I said like sure..
After dinner, I set the study table ready and started my part of writing… while I was writing he turn the radio on.. it was Akash Waani program time where the RJ will read out the letters to be sent to the Army officers… The family will write a message to them and dedicate a song.. A long song in the background, A perfect handwriting for him and a cute eye contacts between us. Man…what a scene..
My naani asked me to sleep saying your mom ll scold me for not putting you to sleep on time. I told like naani I'm helping Waahi please let me help him na.. She was like ok but soon..
We exchanged turns to finish the record note and finally it's done. I asked him what he will tell the teachers if they ask for the handwriting difference. He said they will not ask until we submit…
I was feeling sleepy and slept off. When I woke up in the morning he left a letter for me under my pillow…Saying thank you Piku for helping me… Grow your hair longer and you will look pretty like a doll..Love, Waahi.
That's it ♥️the letter made my day and I dono if I can save that letter or should I hide or tear it off. And I Started growing my hair since then 😀😀
