Chapter 2B:Which Religion???
On the other side,Ananya mallik was boiling at a
very high temperature.She traced the straight line
moving left to right and then right to left in her
cabin in the hospital."How can that down market
girl send the golden sparkle to any unknown
hands?Such a poor class she is."Then she sat on
her chair,rotating the crystal paperweight with a
smiling face,"But I am Ananya Mallik,I'll dare
every
possible mighty doing to chase that glorious
girl."Soon her sight falls on the photograph of
Ridhima which she shooted a day back."Not a big
deal if Viyaan opposed the idea of giving add of
your photograph under missing section in
newspaper.No problem at all Riddhima
baby.Haven't you heard the old saying that a
clever cat eats cheese and breathes the rats hole
with baited breathe.I am the clever cat here
baby.If
one door closes the other gets open for me
because I never beleive in failure."She left the
photograph and stretches her back on the chair
grinning.
"Just one knock Riddhima,just a single knock,after
that I am gonna ask ask each and every person
related to you that how is the show?"She laughed
swinging her chair forward and backward.And
there was knock on the door of her cabin,"Yes
come in."The ward boy of the Hospital handed
her
the documents of the new doctor joining their
hospital and got out.She reads the second
page."Dr. Aadarsh Singhania,MBBS,MD,DNB
(Cardiology)-Specialist- Cardiologist,Experience-
Seven years practice in
Lifecare,UK,Married to Madhura Singhania with
three children Yatharth Singhania,Late Mukta
Singhania an.."Before she could read further,her
pager buzzed addressing emergency."Oh God !!
What the heck I am reading this?I am so
stupid.He
is a experienced cardiologist whom we need for
the hospital.Hmm"She signed the approval as a
dean and called nurse to address the new
doctor.She left.
Just one knock,yes,the one knock on her cabin's
door by ward boy and
Ananya was anaware of it.Whom she wanted to
find,had addressed into
her hospital on the very next day.
Next DayIn Viyaan's
cabin-"Welcome to
Mallik's Hospital Dr. Singhania"Viyaan shook hand
with him."Thank you
Dr. Mallik.Pleased to be approved by you in your
Hospital.Thank you so
much"Aadrash smiled."Mention not Dr Singhania
,we are pleased to have
an experienced Cardiologist in our Hospital.So
much thank you to
you"What should I say now?You are
reciprocating
thank you to
me".Aadarsh laughed."Don't say anything just
latch onto this cup of tea,unless it would cool
down"Oh yeah for
sure"They chanted for the
interval untill or unless their coffee was
finished.Viyaan showed him
his cabin as well as the hospital.
SAME DAY-SAINT STEPHENS SCHOOL"Who
had done this?"A beautiful slim trim
lady in black pants,black
heels,red full sleeve shirt shouted in a tough spot
hammering the long
wooden stick on the table."Does it sound wrong
to
you all?"Everyone
nodded negatively."Then answer,who did this?I
am
asking last time
otherwise I'll lock the whole class in pests'
room."Still no response
from the students.The teacher
frowned,"Students,Have you gone
deaf?"All the students again responded
negatively."Was that you
Jave?"No Miss"The humpty dumpty boy
replied."Ajooni?"She stressed her
name."No Miss. Not this time."A naughty punjabi
girl
replied."Armaan?"As soon as she took hername
the next
phrase from her mouth
was,"Master Armaan,inform your parents to
meet
me tommorow before
morning assembly AGAIN(elongating
Again).Bring
your school
diary"She settled on her
chair.
No Miss I wasn't."Armaan uttered sitting on his
seat."Don't lie,I know you are the
most naughtiest boy among these class K.G.
kids."He
hanged his head down
pouting.The lady glared him once and wrote note
on his school diary's page dated and
signed."Tommorow before assembly.Is that
clear"She handed him his
diary & he nodded.He settled on his tom and
jerry
table.He viewed himself as Jerry and his teacher
as
tough Tom remembering last night's Tom and
Jerry show.He laughed and Miss Sambhavi
shouted,"What is so funny?"He looked upward
and again laughed seeing her standing laying her
hands on her hips like Tom."Am I telling you
some
joke?"She moved to him."No,no miss.I am
sorry"Armaan looked down."Sorry?Do you
know
the meaning of sorry?Okay leave it.I am going to
ask you one question from last lecture.If yo shall
be able to answer you may sit otherwise you will
stand on the bench for rest of the day?"He
nodded
Miss Sambhavi: If I give you two balls and two
balls and another two balls, how many balls have
you got?
Armaan:Eight!(he gave answer after counting on
fingers)
Miss Sambhavi: No, listen carefully,okay. Let's try
this another way. If I give you two apples and
two
apples and another two
apples, how many apples have you got?
Armaan: Six.
Miss Sambhavi: Good. Now if I give you two balls
and two balls and another two balls, how many
balls have you got?
Armaan: Eight!
Miss Sambhavi: How on earth do you work out
that
three lots of two balls is eight?
Armaan: I've already got two ballsat home now!
My
mommy bought me that yesterday. At this she
frowned and gritted,"I knew it.Stand on the
bench"
After the school was over,the teacher reported to
the Principal
of Saint Stephens school,Mumbai named Mr.
Baisingley about Armaan's
increasing naughtiness day by day,"This kid had
made everything joke
in the school.I am viewing it from the past one
and
half
year.Seriously Dad he is more than a
headache"Cool down Miss
Sambhavi"Mr Baisingley,an old man,centered
bald
replied
having his watermelon."Dad,why don't you ever
take Armaan's action
seriously?And why I need to call down
everytime?"Haha Sambhavi,just
relax,why you always get against him?"Her father
and principal of the
school interrogated to which she narrates the
same
question.
"You know
that Sambhavi.His grandfather has done alot for
us
to save this school
few years back.""So we didnot ask him for
help.And it is not fair with
the principal's chair.You are a strict teacher to
every
student and to
Armaan Mallik just a polite teacher under the force
that his family
saved our school."
"But Dad you know what,I am a fair teacher.And
who is at fault is
at.This is due to your lineant behaviour towards
that rich master,that
he is not afraid of doing anything."Sambhavi
Bailingsley concluded.Mr.
John Bailingsley smiled and stood up praising his
daughter,"I am proud
of you my daughter.Do anything freely to your
job
but what did he do
this time?"He frowned and Sambhavi
boiled,"He...He flooded my chair
with the cream and ."Mr Bailingsley started
laughing,"And you sat on
it."Sambhavi glared at her father,"Dad this is not
funny and I was
teaching for the whole period like that only and all
were laughing due
to this which I acknowledged later.I am a teacher
and I don't want my
students to do stupid disrespecting things to
anyone.I have noted his
parents and hope they sign it and meet me in the
morning.I have come
to hope a favour from you.""I need you to stand
with me in it inspite
of standing with them as you always
do.""But...""I
got my answer
dad,thank you so much."
The very next morning Mallik's were in the
school,"This is more than
enough sir.Sometimes your son pours water on
the seat,sometimes
cream,sometimes throw chalks on me etc etc
etc.If
I get to tell you
what your child do,you need a better one full day
to listen it up.I
know children are naughty but this naughtiness
doesnot come over if a
child is good at studies and all.He is Nil in
everything Sir.Sorry to
say that.He doesnot like to study.doesnot like to
do
acticities and
one most important does not like to pray
even."She spoke and
spoke."Sir If he did anything like this more,then I
will take a
serious action for sure.I will forget that someday
your father helped
us to save our school."Ananya and Viyaan
promised that it would not
happen again if it would so then do whatever her
job says to do,they
will not resist her
"I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can't
be friend and their parent in a lot of
situations,especially in this day and age where it's
so dangerous for kids."Miss Sambhavi suggested
and they both took leave after assuring her that
wouldn't happen again.Ananya was nodoubt a
cruel person when it comes talk of Armaan
marriage with Riddhima in the far future but
overall
she is a strict parent.No doubt she loves Armaan
like hell but there is a bit of sterness when she
raise
her kid but there still remains her attitude,lack of
her love for people and intense gratitude.
On their way to home,their car jammed.Ananya
got frustrated,"Viyaan it is too much.I told you to
get your car repaired.""Give me a minute
Ananya.I
am calling the driver."After he called driver they
saw a temple,and Viyaan uttered to go their till
the
driver comes."No mum,I don't wanna go"little
Armaan exclaimed."Armaan,why you don't like
to
pray?Your Miss had also complained that you
hate
to pray in the morning assembly also."Viyaan
asked."Because I don't like it"Ananya was angry
at
her son,"Viyaan leave him here in the car.We
should move.We cannot expect anything from
him"They left him there inside the car and got to
temple.Armaan was looking outside from the
car.
13 years laterLife affords no
higher pleasure than that of surmounting
difficulties,
passing from one step of success to
another, forming new wishes and
seeing them gratified.So here we go,
A boy was yelling in the church,"Oh Christ,
Please
make Einstein's photoelectric equatin equal to
Broglie's Wavelength.Please Please"The inquired:
"Why must you pray so, my
child?""That's what I've written in my answer
sheet
in the examination!Father"Jave replied.The priest
laughed."Don't laugh Father,you don't know high
school studies get us high.It was better to read a
bible in Church than to study in a church"Priest
laughed and left saying,"Good luck my
son."Outside the church Ajooni was talking with
one of the athiest Armaan,"Maan why you don't
beleive in God? Come on man,I am viewing it
from
childhood.""I don't like it Ajooni and I amtelling
you
this from childhood"He said looking straight
towards the nearby waterly place."Why?
Everythin
g has a reason.Okay if you don't like it then atleast
you can pray at exam time."He looked at her
smiling,"I don't beleive in God.""What make you
to
beleive so?"Ajooni frowned and asked.
"Exactly Ajooni"Jave joined them."Maan just give
a
thought.What makes you to beleive so?""I don't
believe in any sort of religion, any sort of soul or
spirit,anything that isn't the physical world and its
vast and astonishing
manifestations.Come on guys,no one had seen
him.Have you both?And how can you beleive in
him.Jave you went inside the church and prayed
to him to get you pass in the exams.And every
year you repeat it.What was the result every
time?
You got pass only by one mark."He laughed."But
I
got passed na,that is the reason I beleive in God
because he helps me to pass.I beleive in God
because Bible says it so.I beleive in God because
God is everywhere.He is the creator of everything
even of you and me.""Oh please,I don't pray in
front of him and even I get pass every year with
very good marks.God is not an entity that can be
proven with an evidence.So don't argue "Armaan
replied.
"What an athiest you are Maan.. You get good
marks every year because you love to study.You
have a great knowledge which we both lack.God
exists not only because sacred books says so but
because he exists in every heart."Ajooni replied
seriously."Sacred books may be mistaken,hearts
can be mistaken.I am searching for a holy book
without any mistake.And in heart??Seriously?
Some
try to prove existence of God pointing to evidence
in the world,pointing to sacred books,my
existence
and all.You know what, they are terribly
inevitable."Armaan argued."Please Maan we don't
need you to show you a reason or any sort kind
of evidence realted to it,"Ajooni told
frustratingly."Ditto,Because it would be intolerant
and unreasonable for you to expect that.So leave
the "Do God Exist" debate aside."Jave ended the
arguements concluding."No no Jave,I will
definitely
beleive in God and will start praying him if I got a
reason of his existence,I bet"Armaan excitedly tell
them to proove it.
"Okay Maan,lets leave.We will proove it later."said
Ajooni.Armaan was looking at church lake and
got
an idea."No no,Ajoni,You have to proove it right
now."Jave and Ajooni frowned looking at each
other and uttered,"How?""Guys listen three of us
know that we can't swim."They both got
horrified
what does he mean."So I am jumping in this
lake.If God really exists he will save me.And if not
then I'll be drowned."Armaan excitedly said."No
maan you are not going to do anything like
that"Ajooni holded the hand of stepping Armaan
but he rescued his hand and ran to jump before
both of them could do anything.Eyes of both of
them grew larger and they
shouted,"Armaan!"Ajo
oni to Jave-Jave do something.I don't know to
swim.He will drow and ie.Jave to Ajooni-I also
not.Wait I am calling father.You find something to
save him.Jave left and Ajooni found a long
bamboo stick which she forwarded to Armaan to
hold it,and get out of the lake but Armaan
denied,"God will save me"
Two girls were walking down to the rough path
along the lake."Hadiqah,I am waiting for that
day.And you know what I love to be their
daughter and love to be sister of Yatharth
bro."Riddhima smiled."I know Riddhima,even
they
all love to get their daughter back in you.I wish
my
parents were also alive today.I miss them so
much"Hadiqah smiled through
tears."Hadiqah,liste
n..."They both looked around when the heard the
screaming voices of a girl,"Armaanplease hold
it.Someone help!!Is anyone here!!Some one
help!!"They looked that someone was
drowning."Hey Allah,Riddhima the man is
drowing,help him.You know swimming
na."Hadiqah showed frown."Yeah,a little bit.I
haven't practiced it from two years.Oh Jesus
please save him."She looked upwards and
jumped
into the lake.Ajooni smiled seeing the girl getting
Armaan out of the lake."Hadiqah help,"Riddhima
asked for help reaching the bank to get him out.In
the time,Father came with Jave.
"Oh Christ,how did he drown?Get aside,I'll
see"Father rushed there moving everyone away
from there."Hey thank you so much.I am really
thankful to you."Ajooni holded Ridhima's hand."It
is okay.But how did he drown?"Riddhima's
phone
rang,"Oh God,I need to leave.(to Hadiqah)Hadiqah
its brother.Lets go.(To Ajooni)Hey I am sorry.I
have to go.Please take care of him.Have a good
day."She turned to father then,"Father,is he
okay?"The preacher got up,"Yeah,I just get the
water out of him.He will be alright with
blessings.And you okay?"He asked."Absolutely
father,as always."Riddhima smiled."I know I
know,but be on time in the evening
Riddhima.And
Hadiqah you too."Father smiled."For sure
father,Shukriya,Khudha Hafiz."said
Hadiqah."Khudha Hafiz,Bless you my
children."Preacher smiled and both left
Armaan was consicous,preacher left
acknowledging he is fine."Maan you are
impossible,Had you realised what might would
had happened if that girl didn't save you?"Jave
exclaimed."You are just too much Maan"Ajooni
scolded him."Relax! Its over.And see I told you, it
is
just a manifestation or illusion that God exist.If he
would really have been where your God?Your
God
didn't save me.Thanks to the girl.So do you both
still beleive God exists."Armaan asked."What an
attitude Armaan?A lot had happened still you are?
Just leave Maan its worth talking to you."said
Ajooni."It is not worth talking.What he feels is
just
beyond the knowledge that god does not exist
and
religion is mistake.It is a frame of attitude in his
mind that he looks fearlessly at this world."The
voice came.Armaan turned and looked at
her,"Excuse me?""You are not excused,first this
was not the way of testing God's existence but
still
showed he is alive."Riddhima said."Oh Really?
How
did he?"
Armaan argued with Riddhima on the belief that
God saved him to which she replied,"You are
blind
Mister.God saved you.He came to save you but
you didn't recognised him.""Oh really?Where
was
him?Where do he lives?I think you were the one
of
saved me.Not God."He turned his back towards
her."God helped you.He sent me to help you and
maybe I was the god for you at that
time."Riddhima shrugged her shoulders.Armaan
laughed,"Ohhh miss god,"She cuts him,"Ah
oh,before you continue let me get my bag which
I
forgot here.Do one thing,there is a programme in
church in the evening.Come and I will argue with
you then.I would definitely make you beleive God
exists.Okay.Till then take care."Riddhima smiled
and left.Armaan gazed her till she disappeared
and
Jave and Ajooni smiled.
