FRESH PAGE OF LIFE

But still, he's my best friend too, yet not as important as aira.

Well, i mean, friends are not someone we life long travel with, it's our soulmates whom we travel with.

Our principal mam has come to our class and told us that tomorrow is 'Rakshabandhan'( the festival of brothers and sisters).

She strictly informs us that everyone must and should come, no matter if their health is not that good or not, she also told us that every girl must tie rakhi to every boy and also informed us that tomorrow there is also grand test on syllabus covered upto now.

Dammit! She's a real psycho, she has been appointed as principal this year.

She is the one who framed me as 'latecomer'.

She's like my worst enemy after sashank.

Due to this, my grudge on her increases even more.

She is going to conduct grand test on tomorrow, which is why my parents will never let me rest at home tomorrow.

This is freaking annoying.

In the night, I've flirted with aira sometime in chat, but i never mentioned about rakhi when talking to her.

What if she wants to tie a rakhi to me, I can't let that happen.

I used to take leave on rakhi every year by saying several reasons.

But this time, I can't.

The next day,....

The day of rakshabandhan begins.

As expected, not just me and her, nearly 95% of students have come to school, whereas remaining few went on some trips or their health condition is too much worser.

I've started doing prayers on my mind that she shouldn't tie me a rakhi.

My whole body was shivering due to the fear.

Principal was still in her cabin.

I don't know why, due to heavy pressure and fear, I fell down there at my bench.

Our class teacher has send me to sick room.

While I was in sick room, the principal went to our class and celebrated rakhi by doing all typical rakhi things.

I was luckily saved somehow.

After checking my health condition, sick room doctor has concluded that I'm perfectly alright.

When I went to the class back, the principal has already left.

I was finally relieved now.

By the end of this day, I was shocked by seeing aira cry.

When I got home, I asked her what actually happened in chat.

I was somewhat surprised by her answer.

" I don't actually want to share it with anyone, but i don't know why, I want to share this with you" said aira.

I called and asked her to split out what happened actually.

" In everywhere out, people will scold if we love someone, but in our school, it's quite reverse, they were kind of teasing me that I can't love any and I don't love any, and I don't even know what it is, I might agree with that, but they are kind of discriminating me as I don't love any, that's not a problem too, but there were few worst girls who comment on me in abusive language, they just comment me by saying that I will use and throw every boy in a abusive language, I don't need to say it so deep, I don't just understand what mistake I've done, I just don't want to fall in love in this age, almost everyone in girls are comment me indecently despite few, it's hurting me a lot, I know this sounds a bit silly to you, no one might not have faced this kind of problem, but still I am not strong to respond to their abusive comments, this generation sure got spoiled a lot even during the school age" said aira.

I've heard this kind of reason for 1st time, but i got completely mad on those lady dogs( those worst ones).

" Who the heck are those? " I asked with lot of anger.

" Despite few, mostly everyone in girls and some in boys too, but you don't over react to it, it'll mess up and get worser if you over react, if you try to pick a fight on them, in the end, I will be the one getting hurt most" said aira.

I calmed myself to larger extent and somehow calmed her emotions too.

The next day, I was literally on fire mode.

I told this to Arman, alok and sanay.

" Let's do one thing, let's write abusive comments about them on paper and let's throw on them" said alok.

" No! Even if they scold, we shouldn't use abusive language on girls, but still they need to realise and suffer for what they did" i said.

" Then what shall we do?" Arman asked.

" What if we comment on ourselves? " I asked.

" What the hell do you mean? " Arman asked.

" I have a plan, let's write abusive comments on ourselves by changing our font styles, and let's keep those papers in their books when they went out for break and when any teacher enters to our class, let's just say that all those girls were looking at us and writing something secretly about us on papers, and let's say that they are hiding those papers in books, when the teacher check it, they'll be punished and will understand what'll happen if they comment a good hearted person, they will suffer for what they've done" I said.

" Fine! but how to know who was commenting? " Arman asked.

" I haven't thought about it" I said.

" Let's observe and see who's commenting her" sanay said.

" Yeah! let's observe" I said.

But after saying that, I laid my chin on my bench and gave a bit of depressed look.

" Upto this date, I was just looking at her, but I've never seen the circumstances and pain she's surrounded by" I said.

" It's ok! Don't be depressed now" said sanay.

When we four were taking, we've seen few people commenting her, not few but quite a lot of them.

We have commented ourselves abusively in those letters though we don't like.

It's just for her.

I don't have a better plan than this at that time.

The proof must be there to punish them by our teachers.

It doesn't even if it is fake or not, they've done a big mistake, they must and should suffer atleast a bit of not as much as her.

We've finally accomplished our task though we were scared.

And all those stupid girls were punished and that matter was almost extended up to their termination, but they were given one more chance to be good.

They somehow finally realised their mistakes and apologized to aira.

She looked back and smiled back at me as she knew it from the start that it was me, because she shared that matter only with me and why would someone else clear this kind of revenge, so she easily understood that it was me who've done it.

Looking at her smile, all those mad thoughts that are running in my mind got nullified.

She went out to have fresh air.

" Lin, this perhaps is the best time, just confess your feelings to her" said Arman.

They all encouraged me and somehow a bit out of fear, i went towards her.

Aira thanked me.

It's going to be my first time talking to her directly.

" You don't need to say.... sorry... it's my responsibility to...protect you afterall" I hesitated.

" What? " she asked.

" No! Nothing i was just..... Kidding" I said.

Wait a damn minute, why should I say i was kidding when I am not actually.

" Because of you, after many days, I've smiled heartfully, thanks for that" aira said.

God! I just forgotten what I want to say after listening to her sweet voice and cute words about me.

" But wait..., you shared this matter only to me, but why only me? " I asked.

" Well.... you are someone, whom I could share my pain with" said aira.

Omg! I just completely lost my brain after listening to her words.

I felt like flying in clouds, but after reminding the words she've spoken to me yesterday ( I just don't want to fall in love at this age, and i dont want to love any), I felt like falling down from the clouds.

" Well! But why have you came out? " I asked.

" Well.. if I was about to start anything freshly, then i deeply exhale and inhale fresh aira, I feel very pleasent when I do that" aira said.

" That sounds a bit silly" I said.

Oh shit! I hope she won't feel bad for what I've said now.

" No! Just try it once, you'll understand it then, it really feels very pleasent and fresh" said aira.

" I'll try if was about to start something new, but why are you doing it now? " I asked.

" I feel like I'm going to start a fresh page of life, this feels like a new chapter, so i just want to do it" said aira.

I haven't confessed to her yet but i was happy as I've spoken to her with some courage.

But this courage isn't enough to convey my feelings to her.
