50. Story of Determination

Society exists for the sake of humanity . It doesn't exist to benefit particular person or certain people . It should benefit all people in that society who work hard and ensure its existence . But when society is flawed some people are suppressed ,tortured , isolated ; their interests are ignored . Nobody minds even if they are killed or tortured badly .

Its our duty as a human being to change flaws of our society , to make sure that no one is suffering and everyone enjoys equal rights .

I don't know why but I am suddenly having these kinds of thoughts . But its actually true . How good it would be if we are all good to each other ? If no one suffers injustice . But then again these are only idealistic thoughts . Perfect society like that doesn't exist . Maybe , that was heaven will be . A perfect place for all people , for everyone to live happily .

Anyway , Serena is sitting besides me in my class . Amara is absent today . Everyone noticed . Even teachers told her that she doesn't belong in this class but she doesn't pay attention . Its like she doesn't care at all . I think , only Serena can do this . She can do something extreme but get away with it . Because people know that at the end she is always right . Why? Because she is Serena .

" Hey , Serena are you here to protect your little girlfriend . ", some boy . Everyone in this class is snickering because of his stupid joke .

Teenagers , I tell you .

But Serena was very pissed for some reason . She stood up and glared at the boy .I thought it will be useful but they all felt silence because of her cold gaze .

" From now on . No one --- And when I mean no one that means no one will ever touch her but if anyone did he will have to face consequences . ", Serena commanded before she left .

" Wow , she is really something " , someone .

" She is like a gangster . "

" I am certain she is a gangster . "

" Me too. "

" Me too --- "

In our English class we read a tragic story about a man and his beloved :

There once was a small village boy who fell in love with a girl . They got married but had to run away from their village because their marriage was disapproved . They lived a simple but happy life . He worked on nearby fields and his wife always brought him a lunch on her own on foot . But the path from their small hut to the field was not smooth . She had to cross dangerous rocky path of the mountain . One day when she was walking on that rocky road to bring him lunch her foot slipped and she fell down from the mountain . The man lost his beloved . The only person he loved in his life . He became frustrated and started digging that mountain to form a proper road on the mountain . So that no one would lose his or her beloved ever again .

Actually this story is the legend related to Parampura 's famous mountain but no one knows if its true or not . But I think its inspiring that instead of crying and being miserable he tried to change the thing that made him last his beloved .

AFTTER 3 HOURS :

Finally , school is over . Now I can go home . Serena is probably waiting for me .

" Myra , let us go ", Serena .

Speak of the devil .

We are walking towards the parking lot . But before we could reach there I heard some screams . Someone is being bullied and its pretty horrible .

" Come on , give me the assignment . "

" I won't , I worked on it .Why should I give it to you . "

I hate screams . I hate cries . I want to get out of here .

" Let us go . ", I told Serena .

" Yeah , let us " , Serena with a sigh

It was someone else this time . Everytime there are different people bullying weaker students all the time . Why are humans like that? Why are we so hateful ?

" We have to do something . Enough is enough . ", Serena suddenly as she was driving .

Her usual expressionless face looks dark . She is very angry .

" What can we do ? ", I said .

" I won't be able to forgive myself if I didn't do something . Just because it isn't happening to me doesn't mean that it isn't my problem . " Serena .

" But its not that we can fight them . Violence should never be an answer . ", I reasoned .

" I know that is why we aren't going to use violence . We will use our brain to defeat them . " Serena .

" How ? ", I asked .

" I don't know but I know that I will find a way . ", Serena .

Her voice is full of conviction and determination .She is incredible . I am sure she can do something . I trust her .

I am studying in my room with Serena . I am trying to learn periodic table . I always wanted to . But its very difficult . No matter how I do it . I searched for some tricks on the internet but its still difficult . I wonder why they made this table . Probably , to make people like me miserable . Its not like elements wouldn't have existed if they hadn't formed it .

Forget it , I will solve rain problem of Physics .

AFTER A WHILE : So , in short . It doesn't matter of you walk or run in rain . You will get wet , nevertheless . Hence its wise to make a run for it .

" Myra , are you done ?", Serena .

" Yeah , almost . " , I replied .

" Ok , then let us talk . ", Serena as she looks at me with serious expression that says : ' I want your full attention . '

" About what ? ", I asked .

" I am going to write application to principal . ", Serena .

" For what ? ", I asked .

" For establishing anti - bullying forum . ", Serena .

Oh no , I forgot about that bullying thing while she has been thinking about it all this time . I am horrible person . I am cold hearted . I don't care about anyone .

" So , what do you think ? ", Serena .

Oh my God . She is asking for my opinion . I am never good at this . Never ----

" I - I ....Honestly , I don't know . I mean ....Is it vital for you to get involved ? ", I asked her .

" Yes , it is . We are going to form a separate club for those who are bullied . We are going to help them . ", Serena .

" We ? " , I asked .

" Yeah, you and me . ", she answered .

Oh no, looks like I am again forced to something which I never wanted to . Is this my fate ?
