The exams are about to begin. Students are studying as best as they can. I had finished the topics up to the syllabus and clarified their doubts. When the bell ranged I came out of classroom and closed the door from outside but what is this uneven feeling? Something is wrong with me? Suddenly I feel down on the floor with a severe headache. I had tried to hold my head with my hands but it's not possible to me... I'm conscious but unconscious. I couldn't be able see the surroundings clearly and this headache too... suddenly from the back side, "teacher are you alright? unknowingly everything went to normal... when I turned back there are two girls from other classroom, watching at me with a scared face. I don't know what happened to me but I know something is wrong with my body. Dont worry girls; I am a bit sleepy today. Take some rest teacher, there is no need for you to do the hard work, see you around... both of them left the place, as they said I shouldn't do the hard work ,I think. I have to do the things properly before my leave otherwise I might end up sooner than time given to me.
I went to school garden for some fresh air, the morning breeze helped me somewhat to recover from that headache. I made a call to the arjun, and explained what happened earlier. Arjun, is the phase one already started? '... no, Shiva not at all, I think it's a normal headache from the work. Take some rest and also don't eat outside food too much. Oh! I forgot to tell you, your visa only works for three months. Try to renew it or else... sorry, I got some work. I will call back you later. BEEP sound... the call ended. I think my time is already over....
On the other side, arjun started worrying over something. His facial expressions giving a Vibe of something really bad about to happen. He called to someone else over a telephone and said "stage one has already started...."
I went back to the Akia room for some rest, when I went inside she was already working on something. Shiva, you didn't look well, what happened to you?.. Its nothing; I'm having some stress due to the work. I'm going to sleep for some time so please woke me up after an hour. She nodded her head as yes and I slept on a chair. While I was dreaming about a something, suddenly the dream has erased. Due to the effect I woke up unexpectedly with a tension face.
You still have five more minutes, why did you woke up?... what? I was surprised by her words, I thought of slept a few seconds ago but fifty five minutes are already over in reality. Whats happening with my brain? .... Shiva, are you going to stay like this? You have class now. If you go late now, you will get a remark. Ok, ok... I'm leaving.
Akia also became serious because of the exams, so I need to do my best too. I went inside to the classroom and started lecturing, everything was fine. After completing the topic, I had figured out that nana was absent today so I had asked one of her friends about her. She replied me that she didn't know the reason too but she was absent yesterday also. While I was coming back to Akia room, I made call to the Kanna about nana absent. Actually Shiva, I was on industrial work for week now. I don't know whats happening at home, if you don't mind can you check on her. I get it; I will meet her after the school and also we need to talk, let's meet after your industry work. The call has ended. I went inside the room and she was still doing the paperwork. Akia, I'm feeling unwell today so I'm going back to home. Ok, but don't be late tomorrow because you have some paperwork to do regarding the exam. Yes, yes... I won't be late. I turned around to get out of the room but suddenly the smile on my face was faded out. My body is shivering and my shoulders are trembling. I thought of making a step but my legs are frozen. I don't have any authority over my body and I was fallen down on the floor. Akia ran towards me and calling my name but everything around me became blurred and I went into unconscious state.
When I woke up I was on the school hospital bed and it seems to be evening time. I turned to the other side and Akia was next to me. She was there for me but more importantly she grabbed my collar and pointed a question... what's wrong with you Shiva? You woke up suddenly in the morning and went to unconscious in the evening? Whats happening?... give me an answer. Its nothing to fear, Akia. There is nothing strange about it. I became unconscious due to food which I had eaten last night. Is it true?? Of course, why would I lie to you? Then I will forgive you but if you scare me like that again, I'm going to kill you properly. Ok, ok... I get it, even though she is in anger, she was really worried about me. I can tell that by looking at her face.
Its really getting late; let's go back to our homes. I will walk with you Shiva till you reached your home, what happens if you fall again. There is no need for that and you had your paperwork to do... they are not important compared to you. She gave me a fast reply and I have no reason to deny her. While walking towards my home, we stopped at Kanna house on his request. We went inside the room and Veena made some tea for us. I had asked Veena about her daughter and she replied to me in a formal tone. Actually Shiva, she was working on her new novel, she said it was very important to her. Its been there days and she didn't come down and also she didn't allowing me inside her room. I don't know when she will be complete the novel... don't worry Mrs. Kanna I will talk to her right away.
I went upstairs while Veena and Akia are talking. Nana, it's me open the door. The door was opened automatically after my words. The room was a complete mess with the script papers and nana was typing using a typewriter on her desk. For some reason, she was tearing up the papers and retyping them. I went inside the room and stopped her. Shiva teacher, what are you doing? I need to complete the script, please don't disturb me. No, wait, " whatever work you do without thinking is a waste of time". Now tell me what your problem is…
I was about to conclude the story but I couldn't be able to make the end line for it. That will be difficult situation, tell me about the ending so I can help you out. Really, will you help me to finish this? Dont forget I'm an artist and a writer too.
The story will end after a great war; the main character is a great warrior who fought in many battles. He had killed countless shoulders in the war; there is no opponent who matches his skills. When he was about to leave the kingdom, the person who loved him requests him to stay with her. No matter where he goes, there will be a danger waiting for him. So he has to say her something which will be the end line for the story. What will you say Shiva teacher?.... if we are considering an ending after the war and about a warrior means, how about this... "Even though the medicine is applied, the wounds are going to heal but the scars never", and the scars are very painful when it comes to warriors. What do you think nana? Is it fine? Shiva teacher, it took me four months to complete the script but you had completed it in two sentences... thank you very much for the great lines, now I can complete the story at ease. I never thought you would improve this much from the past two years.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, NANA? Sorry, sorry, it is a phrase from the script, nothing more, forget about it... don't scare others like that... anyway start reading after cleaning this mess, the exams are starting tomorrow. Teacher, are you doing well? Yes I do, with a fast reply I came downstairs. After coming out of kanna house, we headed back to my home. At the crossroads I had stopped her; you can go to your home Akia. I'm perfectly alright now. If you don't mind can I stay with you for a while, she asked me suddenly...
No one would deny if their girl asked like this but I have to... sorry Akia, there is something that I want to tell. What is it, Shiva? The thing is... I'm going back to my country, my visa has been expired and I had to go back. I thought of telling you in a good situation but I don't think we will have it. I'm leaving after the exams, I had said everything and she didn't utter a single word. Suddenly my heart became heavier, "I can't be here anymore.... I had left the place without turning back...
