PART 8
Laxmi forced a smile. "Oh Canada? Wow so nice."
"Of course its nice...yaheen sey toh better hai." Laxmi realized that her
English had no accent at all but her Hindi was horrible. It sounded so fake
and it made Laxmi laugh. The boy looked up and saw Laxmi giggling.
"Kya hua hai?"he tried to figure out the joke.
"Woh..nevermind main chalti hoon." Laxmi walked away and turned the
corner. She stopped and looked back to see Mini giving him a kiss.
"Oh no maine toh unka naam bhi nahin poocha! Kitni stupid hoon uske
girlfriend key baare mein sab kuch pata hai par unke baare mein kuch
nahin." She decided to walk by Durga's class to see if she had made it
with the driver. She peeked inside the classroom and saw Durga sitting by
herself in the corner staring out the window. Laxmi felt sad. Durga was
her sister but yet she was so different from the other sisters. Saraswati
was beautiful and loved by all. She even had a "boyfriend" Bhavishya who
was in Canada. Laxmi knew from Saraswati that he hadn't called once in
four years but was coming back soon. Gauri liked to be alone so it wasnt
a problem that she didnt have many friends. Her few friends were just like
her and they hung out quite often. Gauri didnt have a boyfriend but thats
because she didnt want one. Laxmi had a lot of friends too. She was
wellknown throughtout the highschool because she was Suryakant
Garodia's daughter but so was Durga. The people who met her thought
she was weird and the people who didnt know her didnt care. It hurt
Laxmi to see her older sister being an outcast because of one stupid
incident that wasnt Durgas fault.
Yuvraj could not stop thinking about that girl. He didnt have any friends
that were girls because he went to an all boys high school. He had his
sisters. He loved them so much and could not figure out why his mom
didnt. Since childhood Yuvraj had always realized the treatment that bari
maa and his sisters had gotten compared to his mom and him. Suryakant
had always given him whatever material possession he wanted. But Yuvraj
didnt care that much. He would rather play outside in the yard with his
sisters then with his toy cars. Yuvraj was close with Saraswati and Laxmi
and would tell them everything. He tried talking to Durga but she was so
hard to get through to and he didnt like Gauri because she reminded him
of his mom. Yuvraj also loved his Bari Maa so much. He sometimes felt
that she understood him better than his own mom and that she would
make a great mom to a son if she had one.
Yuvraj's friends came up to him. "Yaar kahan gaye the? Humse milne key
mood mey nahin the?"
"Ya phir raaste mein Tina mili."
"Shut up..aap log toh jaante hain key main or Tina click nahin karte...or
hum dono ke beech kuch nahin hai."
"Haan haan hum toh jaante hai." They said sarcastically and walked off.
Yuvraj's best friend Shazeb came up to him. "Yuvraj sach mein kahan par
the?"
Yuvraj looked up and smiled. Even though Shazeb and Yuvraj had recently
just met, Shazeb knew Yuvraj inside out. "Woh yaar main ghum ho gaya
tha...but I am happy."
"Happy kyun?"
"Maine ek ladki ko dekha tha...duniya key sab sey pyaari ladki ko."
"Wow Yuvraj kahan mili?"
"Us jage ka naam nahi aata...hmmm aaj school key baad kya kare ho?"
"Main toh kuch nahin kara."
"Chalo hum us ladki sey milne jayenge or uske baad aap mere ghar
dinner karoge."
"Nahin yaar ladki ko milne zaroor jaaonga par dinner ke liye apna ghar
teak hai."
"Yaar aap mere ghar kabhi nahin gaye...please aao na..main tumhe sab se
milwaoonga."
"Teak hai..main sochta hoon."
"Isme sochne vali kya baat hai..aap aaoge or woh final hai."
Gauri sat on a bench outside the school. She had skipped math class and
was sitting outside. She hated school so much and only came here
because her parents made her. Gauri liked to stay by herself and didnt
like to be interfered with. She had a few close friends and her sisters but
she didnt like them very much. She got along with her stepmom quite
well but she had more fun telling her off then actually talking with her.
But Gauri didnt really have a real friend who she liked to talk to and
spend time with. She acted like she was tough and she didnt need anyone
but at heart she was a softie and just needed a friend. Her thoughts were
interrupted when a boy came and sat beside her.
"EH main yahan pey behti hoon."
"Haan or main yahan par behta hoon toh?"
"Nahin main yahan par pehle thi."
"Toh ab main bhi hoon."
"Tum apne aap ko kya samajte ho?"
"Aap apne aap ko kya samjti ho?"
"Main Gauri Garodia Hoon!"
"Toh main kya karoon?"
Gauri was disgusted..what a rude boy! She hated people like him.
"Dekhye main aapko phirse boloon ge..main yahan par pehle behti thi toh
please aap jaye."
"Tumhare Papa ka bench hai kya key main yahan se chala jao?"
"Actually yeh mera Papa ka bench hai!" She pointed to a label on the
bench, ' Donated By Suryakant Garodia and Family.' Dekha yeh mera
bench hai."
"Toh kya hum share nahi karsakte? I am sure your Papa wont mind."
"Tum pagal ho kya? Ofcourse my Papa will mind. Main ustra kee ladki
nahin hoon jiske koi aage peeche koi nahin hai.Mere paas, papa hai-
mama hai, choti maa bhi hai, 4 behene hai or ek bhai ..or agar main unko
bulaao woh foran aayenge!"
"Toh main kya karoon? Mubarak doon? Chalo Mubarak ho aapko key
aapki family mein itne log hain.
"TEAK TUM NAHIN JAOOGE TOH MAIN JAAONGI!!"
"Toh jao...main tumhe nahin rokhne wala."
Gauri picked up her bag and walked off angrily and she left she stepped
on his foot hard. He bent down,"OUCH!!"
"Oh sorry!" she said sweetly and walked off. The boy watched her go. 'Ek
teekhi teekhi se uff karadi see ladki...'
