Chapter - 2
“Hey! Keep those flower basket, near to the main gate”, a guy in his early twenties ordered to his staff and when his assistant came with a catalog, he made face, “Eww! No,not at all, we are not decorating for a wedding venue, I just want to keep it subtle, do you get it”
Mansi who was observing him since few minutes arched her brows, “Who’s that guy, look at the attitude”, and turned to look at Prerna who smiled while tucking her hair behind the ear, “He has got the arrangement order for the teachers day program by Mr. Trustee”, she introduced that guy and continued with a smirk, “By the way who is this Mr. trustee?”
Mansi mocked, “As if I know. Only sister knows his name, I only know that he is HE, I mean male”, and chuckled and Prerna joined in her joke.
“Par aaj pata chalega, we are gonna meet him”, they said in unison and gave a hi-fi to each other.
A little girl around 5 years old came near to them with a flower,“Happy teachers day!”, chirpily said she, he toed down and accepting the flower kissed her cheek, “Why teachers day? I am your father”
“No, after god, parents are the best teacher”, the little kukkie said so big thing in a second which Rishab couldn’t even believe. He smiled and kissed her forehead asking, “itni badi badi batein itne chote se dimag mein kaha se aati hai”, he tickled her but she turned and pointed towards her and Prerna’s photograph which fell his face a little gloomy and the same time Kukkie blew his tears from the eyes by wrapping her tiny arms around his heightened legs.
It vanish the tears from his eyes and he immediately tossed his little one in his arms, “We are gonna go somewhere especial tonight”,excited Rishab at which Kukkie smiled too but asked, “To Prerna ma”, he nodded his head negatively and the same time Kukkie’s math teacher came for the classes, so Rishab left the spot.
“Two ones are?”, Prerna was taking math class in the primary classes when a naughty boy was trying to bunk the class, which didn't went unnoticeable from Prerna’s eyes, “Stand up!”, strictly said she
The boy made a childlike face, “Sorry teacher”, holding hi sears said and tried to explain her, “Sorry teacher we aren’t interested today”
“Why?”, she eyed him and showed the scale as she will hit him.
“Today is teacher’s day kabhi to aapko holiday milna chahiye”, he made an excuse and the others too agree with him at which she opened her mouth in a perfect O shape, “Haw! Bahane to dekho holiday milna chahiye”
“Please I don’t like math”, the boy genuine put his problem forward and she kept the scale on the table, “No problem, I will give you extra classes so you can understand more, and koi holiday nahi milegi….par iske baad sports milega. Fine?”
The children cheered up and she started teaching them again,the sister Martha who used to notice the teachers regularly while classes was passing from there thought, “Sincere girl. Oh! Lord why did you gave the emptiness in her life? Please bless her”
“God bless you madam!”, Kukkie wished to the teacher when she was leaving but the teacher went outside and complained, “Sorry Mr. Bajaj your daughter is so poor in mathematics I can’t teach her”
“But… “, he wanted to know her wellness in the subject but she saying sorry left the job.
He shut his eyes tightly as he has changed various nannies and math teachers for his Kukkie in these merely two months. But no were getting permanent, he barged inside her room, “What is this Kukkie, this was your third math teacher and she too left”
He bombarded on her unknowingly so her eyes became watery and finally tears rolled down, he then realized his fault and hugged his lovely daughter, when his eyes fell on the Prerna’s large photograph in his room, “Ap thi sab thik tha, aap nahi kuch thik nahi”
“Sab thik se, properly organize kiya hai Jai aapne”, sister Martha applauded the organizer and Mansi rolled her eyes looking at the i-AM-So-Good expression of that guy at which Prerna intervene, “Jane de na tu kyu itna pareshan ho rahi hai, he is just an organizer”
“I know. But main organize karti to kitna accha hota”, poor Mansi retorted back.
Prerna smiled, “I know last year tak tu hi organize karti aayi hai, suna haimaine, but is baar naye trustee ne ise appoint kiya, as in he is so perfect”
“Yeah! But is baar unhe welcome tu karegi. Not me”, Mansideclared at which Prerna objected, “How can I? you are my senior after all”
Mansi cut her words off, “but the best teacher I know”, she smiled satisfied and they hugged each other.
In these few months, these two have came so close to each other that they no every goods and bad of their life, except Prerna’s reality.
Sister Martha adored them when the pendulum struck at 8 p.m., the new trustee was so punctual as per Sister Martha, the Prerna was draped in a yellow saree, and hair tied in a puff, she always wanted to keep it simple and magnificent, only with her smile, which has been vanished from her face.
She picked the purple orchids among the bunch of the flowers, but the same time her saree, unpinned a little so she requested Mansi to welcome the trustee and ran towards the missionary room for the proper arrangement of her saree.
In her absence, a huge car stopped which she watched from the window opening the back doors, from either side, a tiny girl in a white frill frock was running in the troop of the children without having hesitation and a manly body in a blue suit was welcomed by Mansi. Prerna wanted to have a look of the trustee but it veiled up in the lights and crowd.
She immediately ran towards the hall, when they entered inside, as she could get children’s favorite teacher award, that too from the trustee, which was the huge thing and the Sister Martha, announced from the cue-card, “the children’s favorite teacher is, Ms. Prerna Sharma, and she skimmed out, when Rishab the new trustee of the orphanage was awarding her.
His hand stuck in the air, when he looked at her so, she was rooted to the ground when her eyes fell on Rishab, Kukkie(Sneha), was excited witnessing her mother in front of her eyes and ran towards her screaming,“Prerna Ma”, and the same time Prerna in tears ran towards her missionary, Rishab too followed her.
