Chapter 4: chapter 4

" Call your parents and bring them here. " said Kabir sir . I have to tell him about my orphanage now. God I don't like to tell about myself to him. We are standing in the lobby and many people are starring towards us. He kept repeating like a parrot. " Thinking about excuses ...let me help..how about ' my parents are not in town '. oh no ! that's lame. ' They are very busy ' too common.... oh ! I got better ' Please don't complain or my dad will stop wasting money behind me. ' ....why silence speak up. " he almost shouted. Tears rolled down my eyes. He has insulted me too much today. " Kabir oh my god ! long time no see " a voice stopped his shouting, Isn't that sister Zilla's voice ? I turned and saw sister Zilla. But what is she doing here ? She came for her guest lectures or what ? " Mam , " he touched her feet to show respect and then stood up " After my M. A. I didn't see you. You here ? " he asked with curiously. Has he never seen her around , every once in a week she come here as guest lecturer. oh ! I forgot sister takes class on every Friday and that day he remains absent.... my dream days. " Oh ! me and my forgetful mind . Today I left early for work and when my class started I realized that I took my students math presentation instead of my poem one. So I came here. Here you go Megha.....girl why are you crying ? " she asked and gave me my pen drive... so that happened. I rubbed my eyes and took the pen drive from her. " Its nothing sister , I just got scared. " I whispered. she laughed and told " silly girl ... you could have said your teacher that you brought the wrong pen drive by mistake I am sure he would have understood. " said sister and Kabir sirs face grew dark. " Anyway , why are you still sad ?  Everything is alright... now smile . Don't be scared and sister will treat you with ice cream on the way home... alright. " she said in a voice which shows how much she spoils me , I smiled thinking about Kabir sirs condition. He just said me those words." sister you know her....I didn't knew you do private tuition ? " Kabir asked with amazement. I still can present my presentation and get that 40% marks...yes I can at least pass. " No son , I don't give private tuition . You know I don't do such things. " Said sister to him. " she stays in my orphanage house. You can say she is like my daughter since I found her near the orphanage door when she was just an infant and since than is under my care. " said my sister and  I don't think she needs to say anything else. His expression changed immediately. From now on he will think thousand times before abusing anyone's parents. " I...she....sister I didn't... " he is fumbling. Great east or west my sister is the best. I didn't dare to laugh or smile but you know what's going on in my mind. I want to dance now. I want to dance with joy but...never mind.  " Kabir can we talk if you are free ? " asked sister Zilla. Kabir sir nodded and walked with her to the other end of the hall. I don't know what they will talk about but I have a class to attended so I better rush. We have another math class at last period. I practiced my speech at other classes and when math class came I became little scared. But what happened to Kabir sir why he looks like he is about to break down ? " Roll 156 please present your presentation. " he said that and left the stage for me. I slowly went up and stood on the stage my legs are shaking like jelly. I with little confidence did my project. Kabir sir was watching me the whole time making me uncomfortable. When I finished few students asked questions which I answered. Than sir came on the stage. " Good job Roll 156 , you did a good job . I know it was a mistake for which you can't present your presentation early in the morning and I am sorry for my behavior " he said in a whisper ,  was that a sorry....was that a sorry that I hear. " But you should have checked you things before bringing your presentation. It was very childish behavior but its OK you learn new things everyday. And try to be punctual it will be very helpful for you....I don't want to insult you I just want to make you a responsible young girl.  " he told in those ' I care for you ' voice and I hate him once again. " I am very sorry sir ....I will keep that in mind. " I said him in a whisper. He nodded and signed on his sheet with I think wrote my marks along with it. I wanted to see my marks so bad that I kept staring at the notepad like its my lost love that came back in my life.  " You want anything else Roll 156 ? " he asked me not looking up from his sheets. What am I going to say ? what ? The college program ...yes can talk about that. " Sir , you know every year we organize a program in our college to give the students chance to show their talents and to come out of their shell and perform on the stage .....even professor's participate on that program. I see the cultural part of that program... " before I could finish he nodded with a knowing look on his face . " And you need to get excused from my class with attendance right ? Well you do spend time outside my class most of the time " he said , and whose fault is that ? he continued. " Okay , but you should really focus on your studies more than doing stupid stuffs like that. " he told . This moment I want to kill him. " I wanted to ask will you participate on any kind of activity that with take place on the program... but never mind. And you don't have to excuse me cause we practice after college hours so its fine.....as long as you don't throw me out of the class.  " I said the last part in a whisper. " Excuse me. "  he asked in a schoked tone. Why he listens wrong part of the conversation every time ? . He is staring towards me like he will turn me into ash with his eyes. " Can I go sir " I said. He nodded and I stormed outside of the classroom. Thank god I am alive. As long as I live I will stay away from him. He is not a human... straight devil with a skin of a man. " And this time it should be grand so that those colleges knows who is the boss." Isn't that sister Zilla's voice ? what is she still doing in the college ? I turned and saw her walking with madam March. She is in charge of our cultural community and handles every program.  " Their she is... how was your presentation my child . " asked sister Zilla with a smile. I smiled at her and told " It was good sister hope to get a 'A' in it " I replied 'if our Highness think my project was capable enough' that I kept for myself . Their are a ton of files on her hands. she followed my line of gaze and then told " This time the orphan children's will perform in your college so that people could see them and donate to help them get a proper upbringing. And even they will see a function .....poor things hardly gets occasions to have fun. That's why even I am involved in this function. " she said with a great enthusiasm. well that will be nice. " That's a great news sister I will do my best. I will train the girls well so their performance can make people happy. " sister nodded with a smile. Finally I will do something which will make me happy. BACK IN ORPHANAGE. " And left and right and turn .....Twinkle concentrate you have to turn on third step. " Its really exhausting trying to teach little ones dance. It takes a lot of time to teach them new songs. " And its ice cream time . " shouted my dear friend sahara. Really she Pampers the children's like anything. All ran to her for treats. she came with a big box in her hand and with her came sister Zilla with a tiny little angle ( a little girl). Another sweetheart to stay with us.  " Megha you were looking for students to teach dancing right ? see I brought a little girl to learn dancing from you. She is my students daughter , he was looking for a dancing teacher so I recommended you. " East or west my sister is the best. She already found a student for me great. " But their is a request ...you can't ask about her father anything. He wants to keep it a secret.... for some personal reason. I hope you understand. " well that's a bit strange request. But its OK , I told   " Sister I believe you....if you know her parents than I don't have to know. " she smiled and the little girl came towards me. " My name is Megha what's your name sweetheart ? " she was looking at me with wide eyes than told " My name is Kaveri sharma.... can I call you Pari ? " she asked me in innocent voice. I don't know why every kid call me that but  I love it anyway . I nodded and she jumped out of happiness. Good times are coming I can tell you that.
