Chapter 60: chapter 60

He asked us again, “What do you mean by a child?” I took the risk and I raised my hand. He looked at me and nodded his ahead indicating me to say my answer. I said, “A child is like a bud that need to be bloomed into a flower so that its fragrance spreads far and wide.”Lady teachers were wonderstruck to hear such a beautiful answer! My teacher was amazed too. Automatically, a word sprang out from his mouth, “Awesome!” All started clapping! I became a hero in the eyes of girls on the day one!I thought, “Wow! My first arrow hit the bull’s eye! Well done, Aman. Well done! It’s the best way to impress girls over here. Whenever a teacher asks us anything, I will try to give the most beautiful answers ever!”One month passed and I filled the month with my most beautiful answers ever. Those answers were enough to impress girls and make them believe that I was the best eligible bachelor over there. Whatever I was trying to do, everything was hitting bull’s eye. In other language, I was hitting sixer on every ball!But up to now, nothing did I do that was for my marriage. My target was marriage but nothing I did regarding that. I had to do something very fast. One month had already slid by and only one month was more to go. The time was limited. I was to initiate the topic of marriage with someone.One night, I chalked out a plan. I thought, “Only a month, I have spent with lady teachers and that also only on weekends. I can’t propose any girl directly here. I have to think like Akshay Kumar, hehe, as he would do in the Bollywood movies. Think Aman, think. What can you do? Oh, yes! I got an idea!”“I will say to girls that along with my teaching job, I also have my marriage bureau. I help finding people their matches. Yeah! That’s awesome idea! By using this idea, I will easily get to know which girls are married and which are not. And I may also get a chance to talk about my marriage.”The Next SaturdayI was sitting in class waiting for an opportunity. And it arrived when in the sixth period a teacher entered the class and said, “Today, let’s do something different. Let’s practice public speaking. All of you have to come one by one and say something in front of the whole class.”I thought, “Yes! Finally, I am going to get my opportunity.” The first teacher came in front of the class, said something about India and went back to his seat. Then the second teacher came and he spoke about Mahatma Gandhi and went back to his seat. The third teacher came and he spoke about Akbar. All teachers were speaking something about the great personalities. And then my turn came. I said, “First of thanks a lot that all of you are sparing some time to listen to me.” My magical sentence immediately caught the attention of all the teachers as well as students present over there since nobody had started his speech like that. I added, “All of you are really very knowledgeable and very intelligent, well versed with our Indian History. So, if I try to speak about our great personalities, I don’t think, I will be able to add anything new. So, now, I am trying to speak on a very different topic. I hope it will be okay with you all.”“Whatever I am going to say is neither history nor Science but it’s my stark reality.” The backbones of all teachers present over there became straight. Now, they were all ears for me. I said, “Hey, whatever I am going to say is not going to be very serious. So just chill.” I giggled. Seeing me giggling, all lady teachers began to laugh. “I just want to say is that along with my teaching job, I have also opened my marriage bureau. My business is new but I am working very honestly for it.” All burst into laughter! I started laughing too! The teacher of our class said, “Silence, please. He is not over yet.” All fell silent again as all of them were grown up adults. “So, I am utilising my public speaking chance for promoting my business. Well, promoting our business is also a kind of public speaking. Isn’t it?” Our teacher said, “Yes, you are right.”“So, there is nothing to be shy about. We all are young. Those who are unmarried among us, must be looking for their life partner. Those who need help for finding a bride or a groom for herself, for himself, or for his brother or sister, or for her brother or sister, please contact me. I will try my level best to find the best soulmate for you! Please give me a chance, I assure you, you will never regret over your decision. The best thing about my marriage bureau is that I will charge money from you only after marriage!”All teachers gave me a loud applause. I bowed a little, said, “Thank you” and came back to my seat. I could notice a glee on all the faces of the teachers especially on the faces of lady teachers. I said to myself, “You nailed it man! You nailed it!”In the recess time, I was having my lunch and a lady teacher came to me. She was about thirty-eight and she was married. Her name was Neelam. She said to me, “Hi sir.” I said, “Hello mam.”Neelam - I want to talk to you. I finished my lunch and closed my tiffin box and said, “Yeah, sure.”Neelam – Actually, I am looking for marriage of my brother. Can you help me in that? I said to myself within my mind, “Oh shit! What the hell, I do with your brother! I want a bride for me, mam!”Aman – Yes, sure. I can help you. Please give me the profile of your brother.(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
