GOLU'S SCHOOL
Golu said to his BigCha pointing towards soha who was buying Ice cream from school's canteen.
"Ok golu to tu ab apne BigCha ki power dekhne ke liye ready hai?Tu bas dekhta ja ki kaise mai use samjhata Hun ki tujhe aage ke pareshaan Na kare."Dev told his nephew thinking that he would talk to the girl and tell her not to bother golu.
"Yaya!My BigCha is the best!"Golu gave him a high five and hid behind a pillar to watch how his BigCha was going deal with this bossy girl.
Dev started walking towards soha but since he was busy in passing smile to the ladies who were drooling over him,he did not notice Suhana,who was coming towards him and BANG!!!They both collided with each other
"Ouch!!!"She screamed as she fell down & her ice cream was now all over the floor.
"I am sorry beta.Are you hurt? Let me check if there is any injury."
"I am fine uncle and Thanks for helping me."Soha said and started correcting the pleats of her skirt and her two cute pigtails.
"what is your name beta?"Dev asked as he was confused about how he should address her because golu didn't mention the name of this girl who was supposedly troubling him.
"Mamma ne bola hai that we shouldn't talk to strangers & by the way aap dekh ke nahi chal rahe the kya?"Soha said in a grumpy tone.
Woah!This girl is definitely not meek. Thought Dev
He was looking intently at her as if he was trying to find someone in that little girl's face. Her face looked so familiar to him as if he has known her since ages.
Her light brown orbs reminded him of his own eyes and her brownish slightly curled hair made him remember That person from whose thoughts he tries to run away every freaking night,his love,his sonakshi.
Suddenly soha's eyes fell on her ice cream which was now all over the floor.
"Oh No! Meri ice cream to gir gai."She said with a sad tone and then started rummaging through her skirt's pockets but found nothing.
She sulked and started mumbling oblivious of dev still standing there and listening to her.
"Mamma ne to only 30 RS diye the wo to kharch ho gaye ab mai aaj Ice cream kaise khaungi."
"Aree Nahi Nahi uncle uski koi zaroorat nahi hai."Soha said as she remembered her mother's advice of not accepting anything to eat from a stranger.
Dev sensed her discomfort and said "Are Beta don't worry mai koi stranger nahi Hun balki wo golu hai Na tumhara classmate mai uska BigCha Hun."
Soha remembered about how golu always brag about his BigCha and said "Accha!To aap hi hai uske BigCha wo humesha kehta rehta hai ki uske BigCha bohot strong hai and use humesha bacha lenge kya aap hi use wo sab karna sikhaate ho?"Soha asked dev with an accusing tone assuming it must be dev who was teaching golu all those pranks which he played on her.
"Aap kya bolna chahti ho beta?Mai golu ko kya karna sikhata Hun?"Dev asked in a confused tone because he had no clue about what this little girl was talking about.
"Ladkiyo ko bully karna aur kya!Aapko pata hai jab mai yaha admission lene aai thi tab usne mujhpar rubber wali chipkali phenki phir class me mera lunch bhi kha liya aur kal to usne had dhi kar di,usne mere shirt pe ink splash kar diya."Suhana told dev about Golu's mischiefs in one breath.
"Golu! Jaldi bahar nikal."screamed Dev
Golu was confused with his BigCha's body language but then thought that may be he is going to make Suhana apologise to him.
"Yes BigCha kya hua?Aapne mujhe call kyu kiya?Is ladki ki class li aapne?Dekho kaise ghoor rahi hai mujhe.So tum mujhe ab sorry bolna chahti ho na chalo koi baat nahi mera dil bhi BigCha ki tarah bahut Big hai maaf kiya tumhe."Golu said and was beaming with happiness.
"Sorry to bolna padega but Ise nahi tujhe."Dev said to golu
"Kya?BigCha aap ye kya bol rahe ho,mai kyu sorry bolun Ise?"Golu was shocked at his BigCha's command.
"Dekh golu isne mujhe sab sach bata diya hai.Tu hi isko pareshaan karta hai Na ye to bas uska protest karti hai khud ko protect karne ke liye.Maine tujhe kitni baar kaha hai Na ki kisi ko faaltu me pareshaan mat karna.Ye bacchi kitni pyaari hai chal sorry bol Ise."Dev said to golu kneeling down to soha's height.
"Sorry!ab se mai tumhe trouble nahi karunga because mai mere BigCha ki baat humesha maanta hun."Golu said
"It's okay,Golu"Soha said with a smile
"Chalo ab tum dono handshake karo."Dev said forwarding Golu's hand towards soha.
"Friends?" Soha asked golu forwarding her hand and golu smiled and accepted her friendship request and they shook hands
"Chalo ab tum Dono ko mai ice cream khilaata Hun.Golu tu to strawberry flavour hi lega aur beta aapko kaun sa flavour pasand hai?"Dev asked soha
"Butterscotch!" Soha replied with a huge smile.
"Wow!Wo to BigCha ka bhi favourite flavour hai,hai Na BigCha?"Beamed golu.
Dev was again lost in his thoughts.
"Kya hua uncle? Aap bhi humare saath ice cream khahiye Na." She insisted and gave another order for dev too.
This girl was a stranger to him but don't know why he felt a strange pull towards her. Her talks,her antics everything seemed so familiar to him.
After eating her ice cream soha suddenly said "Mujhe ab class me jaana hai bye uncle!waise jab golu aapke baare me batata tha tab mujhe lagta tha ki aap bahot bure ho but aap to bahot acche ho uncle." She said with a smile which warmed dev's heart
"Are aapne to apna naam hi nahi bataya."said Dev
"Miss suhana Bose!"The little girl said and started walking towards her class.
And yet again dev's mind went to the memory lane of another Miss Bose he knew.
"Bye Suhana." Shouted Dev waving his hand.
Suddenly she turned back and replied "It's Miss Bose for you uncle" and with this she ran into her classroom leaving behind a perplexed dev lost in his own thoughts.
"BigCha BigCha aapko hua kya hai,aap to us ladki se baat karke bilkul palti kha gae?"Golu asked out of curiosity.
This brought dev back from his thoughts and he said "Pata nahi golu usse mai aaj pehli baar mila but usko dekhkar,usse baat karke aisa laga ki mai use bahut saalon se jaanta Hun .Bohot APNI si lagi wo.Dhyaan se sun tu usko ab pareshaan nahi karega OK?"
"Ok BigCha!! ab to hum Dono friends hai Na to ab no mischief." Golu told his BigCha
"That's like my good boy. Chal ja ab apne class me warna teacher punishment dengi"
"Bye BigCha." Golu bid him good bye and went inside the classroom.
"Ab to miss Suhana Bose se mujhe bhi friendship karni paregi "said Dev still thinking about that little girl who made her way into his heart in such a short span of time,oblivious of the real relationship he has with her.
