A smile was formed on his lips ,he took one step forward and entered inside , It was empty ...all the students and teachers left the school.
Cool breeze gently passed through him reminding all those sweet memories of his life , each and every corner of that school narrated a story .
As soon he entered the premises he looked at the stage.
It quickly reminded him of those old beautiful days.
****Flash back****
A boy quickly ran towards and joined the line of 7th class students ,all the students stood according to their classes for their assembly.
He quickly joined the line and stood behind a girl .
Aaah..again! U are late!! Said a girl who was standing ahead of him , she dressed in her school uniform and her hair was tied into two plaits.
Ohh..aak main thoda late ho gaya!! Thank God ..I'm on time for the assembly otherwise ground ke do rounds maarne padte!!
Geet !!
Hmmm...
Where are Mayank and Rashmi??
Today ,they are gonna recite something in the assembly.
What??
Areh yaar...why are they gonna be a part of this boring long session of speech !!!
Areh yaar !! They are not gonna give a speech ,they are..
Attention..!!
Are chup ho jaa...baad mein baat karte hai!!
He smiled and remembered his long speeches during the Assembly sessions which would bore him till death.😆
**********
He moved forward and reached a class room .
He went inside and saw all the benches ,they are the same , he thought.
***Fb*****
It was their Maths class Geet and Meera were sitting together and Mayank and Maan were sitting behind them.
Their teacher was busy in opening her books and talking to a child.
Geet leaned back and signalled Maan to come forward .
Maan came forward ..Kya hai??
Aaaj hum Games period me kho Kho khelte hai .
What?? No kho!! We'll play basket ball.
No Kho Kho!!
Basket ball!!
Mayank : Haan Geet let's play Basket ball...Kho Kho is so boring!!
Meera : Mayank ,Maan please na yaar!! Aren't you bored of playing basket ball every time there's a games period!!
Mayank : No...Of Course not!! How can anyone get bored of basket ball??!!
Geet: Please na Mayank ...maan jaa na !!Please!!
Geet whispered cutely.
Mayank : Accha theek hai
Meera : Aah..thanks a lot Mayank!
Maan : Kya Yaar...I don't want o play Kho Kho!! Why not basket ball?? We'll play Kho next time!
Geet: Mayank ,you come and sit here ,I'm coming back I need to talk to Maan.
Mayank : Haan Geet, tu hi samjha ise!!
Geet shifted her seat and sat beside Maan.
Geet: Maan!!
Maan: Haan..bolo!!
Geet: Maan..mele pyaale dost...Basket ball kya tum akele kheloge??
Maan : Geet ,please na Yaar, ek baar ke liye meri baat Maan ja!!
Geet: Maan...Please!!
Maan : Geet...double please!!
Mayank : Areh ,stop pleasing each other and come to a conclusion.😛
Four of you stand up!!
They all quickly looked at their Maths ma'am who was looking at them in anger!
I'm watching from last 5 minutes!! You are continuously talking!
All of you quickly stand up.
Four of them looked at each other and stood up.
Stand on the Becnh.
Maan : But..ma'am...
I don't want any excuses !
Stand up on the bench ...ordered their Maths teacher.
Maan looked at Geet angrily.
Maths was Maan's favourite subject .Getting punishments was not a new thing to him but he was always sincere in one class and that was Maths and for the very first time ,he got punished in his favourite Maths class.
Maan :Geet , is class mein toh chod deti !!
Geet: Accha...what did I do?? Tum toh aise bol rahe ho jaise you are a sincere and accha baccha who never gets punished .😆
Maan : but it's my favourit subject!!
Geet :Aaaw...pool Maan...he is choo sad because he got punished in his favourite class! Boooring Maths class...she stressed on the word 'O' and giggled .😆
Maan :Haan...jaise your favourite subject is very interesting...it's toh..even..boooring!!! 😆
Geet: Oye...!!!
Maan chuckled.
The most difficult thing for them was to stand on the bench and draw circles with a compass.
Maan came back from his thoughts.
He remembered a lot of incidents in the class.
Splashing water over each other during the lunch break , waiting for the games period, continuously looking at the ground before the games period , small fights , sweet incidents.
He came out and looked at the stairs.
*****Fb******
Mayank : Maan ,why don't you take care of yourself!! You have fractured your hand and you need to be careful.
Maan : It's ok Mayank!! I'm fine.
Meera: No Maan ,you are not going to give any stress to your hand!! You don't worry about your notes ,we'll prepare your notes!!
Geet: Aur nahi toh kya??!! Dost hote hi kisliye?? Tu apne haath ka dhyaan rakh aur hum tere is laster ka dhyaan rakhte hai!!
Maan : Plaster ka??
Geet: Haan haan...we all are gonna write on your plaster now so chup chup baithke likhwaa.
All of them filled his plaster with all their crazy writings , Get well soon messages , funny scribbling.
Maan didn't even feel like removing the plaster.
*************
All those moments ...Last minute preparations, hesitating to go to the library period ,sharing the tiffins , non-sense discussions , giggling in the class , jumping if there was any substitution , Annual day preparations , Elocution practices, Mischief's ,Afraid of the most strict teacher of the school , Teasing sessions , getting punishments , kneeling outside the class for the entire day , writing an entire lesson 15 times , playing in the rain , naughty incidents ,Imitating their teachers. 😆
Geet was the best in that .😆
He remembered one more incident where Maan and Geet were quarrelling with each other on a small silly incident and they opened their water bottles and got ready for the water fight ,she was about to pour the water on Maan but Maan escaped and she accidentally poured the water on one of the teachers.
Maan and Geet got a bada wala dhakka!!!😆
And then what??
They were punished infront of the whole class for the whole period.😆
Even during the punishment they remembered the morningincident ,tried hard to control their laughter but they failed and burst out laughing.
All those memories that he preserved deep in his heart came alive at the moment.
How badly he still misses all those days ,his golden moments of his life which would never return back. All those moments brought life to that empty playground and class rooms.
He sat on the bench .
Hundreds of faded memories ,he thought while closing his eyes to feel the care and affection that this breeze filled in him.
************
Ao friends..how was it...I just felt like writing it and wrote it down ,I hope I didn't bore you!!
If I get some positive response I'll write another part 😃
Now...Now... I have a request ,everyone must have many unforgettable memories of their school life , I would like you all to share one or two such incidents of your school life ,just remembering all those incidents once again will surely be fun .😆
Just one or two funny ,naughty ,crazy experiences...reading each others experiences will be fun and might remind us of similar moments. 😃
