She was truly a rockstar who never compromised with her values and ethics in this life.Still, there was something amiss in her bright and successful life.She had a simple upbringing of a village life in this small and hidden village which was shrouded in the dark and luscious forests of the mighty mountains.Jamuni loved to play with her friends who were often mischievous and full of energy just like her.When she was enrolled in a secondary school, her parents were very proud of their little girl who was the first girl in their entire village who went to study in their secondary school  alongwith all the boys of the nearby villages.When she entered the open classroom under the large banyan tree, her classmates started making noise as they wanted to make fun of a girl with a head full of curls and various crazy ideas about life.One of the boys, said to her, "Jamuni, come sit with me. I will help you with your homework."His friend Jogesh said to him, "You never finish your work on time then how will you help her in her studies!"Jogya looked at Jamuni and said to Jogesh, "I will do everything for her because I like her and I want to be her friend!"Jogesh asked him, "You never said such things about any other girl. Do you have some kind of relation with this girl?"Jogya said to him in a whisper, "I feel that it is soul connection which has brought her in this school and made her a part of my life!"Jogya, Jogesh and Jamuni became best buddies within a year.Jamuni used to bring aloo paranthas for her friends and they used to teach her cricket and football in their free time after lunch.After one year, many girls joined them for higher studies. Jhilmil was one of them who joined their group.One day, all four of them climbed the mango tree in their school compound. They were plucking fresh and juicy mangoes when Jamuni lost her balance and almost fell on the ground but Jogya pulled her back and their faces almost touched each other for a second.Jamuni was sixteen year old and the warm breath of Jogya touched her face, her heart and her soul deeply.Jogya felt a surge of a bio chemical called love in every cell of his body.The sweet smell of mangoes was overpowered by the sweet and tangy flavour of purple fruits called Jamun as Jamuni came closer to him for the first time in his life.Jogya who was seventeen years old, felt the first wave of love in the vast ocean of life.He whispered in the ears of Jamuni, "I love you, Ja...Ja...!"Jamuni laughed like a sweet bird as she asked him, "Are you in love with Jamuna, the leading actress of film industry!"Jogya pulled her closer as he whispered in her ears while planting a kiss on her cheek, "I love someone who is more beautiful than her!"Jhilmil was sucking a fresh mango but her eyes were fixed on Jogya.Jhilmil had a secret crush on him and she often had a dream in which her bridegroom was none other than the most handsome boy in their village, her secret crush called Jogya.She saw him hugging Jamuni and touching her face with love and desire!Jogya was lost in the eyes of Jamuni when Jogesh called them, "Gajanan Sir is coming here, please don't make any noise!"Gajanan Sir were very disciplined but always loved his students. He never missed any chance of scolding his students for their indiscipline and disobedience, still he was one of their favourite teachers in the entire school.Gajanan Sir was passing by the mango tree when a half eaten mango fell from the tree.As he tried to look for the source of this mango, a little monkey jumped from the tree.Gajanan Sir said in a loud voice, "Today this monkey had saved you but you can never rely on Divine Intervention throughout your life, grow up, children before it's too late to grow in life!"Jogya looked at Jamuni and said to her, "I feel that Sir already knew about our mischief, it is better to run away from this place leaving behind all the juicy mangoes for some other day, what do you say, friends!"Jogesh said to him, "Yes,  it is better to be safe than sorry, right Jhilmil!"Jhilmil looked at him and nodded her head in agreement.Jogesh looked deeply at Jhilmil and said in his heart, "I love those beautiful blue eyes, I wish I could read the hidden emotions and feelings in those eyes!"As all of them jumped from the tree with the help of their friends, they saw Gajanan Sir standing in front of them with a thick wooden stick in his hands.He gave a warm smile as he said to them, "Look at you, the monkeys of my class who love to eat mangoes from my tree. Tomorrow, all of you will help me in the school farm by watering the plants and trees."All four of them said to him, "Yes, Sir we will do everything as a part of this punishment but please forgive us this time as this is our first and last mistake in this life."Gajanan Sir, smiled at their confidence and said to them, "Never shy away from making mistakes in your life as they are an integral part of your entire journey on this earth but always learn lessons from your mistakes so that the next time you make a mistake, you do not end up making the same mistake once again in your life."
