healing with you

4.Student

Something is there in her. I know she is my teacher but I'm feeling better at tution nowadays. Everyday Since morning I have been waiting to see her, to spend that golden one hour. I'm counted in the one who reaches the tution as late as possible but here I don't know why I reach before time and the first one to enter the class. I do my homework but make deliberate mistakes to listen to from her and tease her. But I never win in arguments with her in fact no one wins. But I love that argument, making her irritated and letting her win. The pride and happiness on her face after winning is different and gives me satisfaction.

"Sanush I tell you to read that paragraph aloud"

I ignore her to tease her. She is looking at me like she will eat me up now. I looked up at her and shook my head upside down asking her "what ?"

"I told you to read" she said in a devil's look.

I start reading very quickly without pronouncing clearly. I look up at her and she gets irritated giving a devil look again. I love to see that look, I love that attitude. This hour feels like 1 min a single blink an hour pass. I hope I can see her more. See you tomorrow.

Another day, I can't wait to see her. As the days were passing I was feeling like all day I do nothing and only adore her. I reached the tution. I am waiting to see her glance and can't wait as the students of the previous batch leave butterflies started flying in my body. The urge to see her, hug her was hitting at my peak but for now all I can do is adore her and greet her. As I enter the class my heart skips a beat, all the butterflies die right there in my body.

Someone please tell me that what I'm thinking is not true. There is another girl standing in place of her. Did she resign? Did they change our teacher? We will not irritate her from now please don't change our teacher. Did she have an accident? Or she got sick? She was looking pale yesterday but I didn't mind much. Sadness flows over my heart I will not be able to see her today.

"Your teacher is on leave today, so you have to keep quiet and read by yourself or do some work" that girl standing in her place speaks.

My heart gets a sign of relief. Thank God she hasn't resigned. And our teacher is also not changed. Today the time is going slow every time I see the clock, the minute hand has just passed one step. I hope I see you tomorrow.

I hope today I could see her. For two days I haven't seen her. Everything is feeling empty. I am a talkative person instead I'm silent today and everyone is asking what happened. Times up I reach tution. I am excited and at the same time a bit nervous that today I will get the chance to see her or not. As I reach there I sit, my heart is beating so high that my whole body is beating with it. I can clearly listen to my heartbeat. I can't wait until the previous batch leaves, for the satisfaction I quickly open the door and see her and quickly close it. She was there. My heart started dancing, it gets happiest. I entered the class, before I greeted her I asked "why were you on leave yesterday."

"That's none of your matters" she said

She is right it's her personal matter but than too I don't know it just slipped out from my mouth

"Atleast you should tell us so we don't come" I said

She give me a look thinking why should I tell you?

And we just started mischieving and harassing her till she get irritate and scold us. When we laughed a bit she slipped her laugh too and couldn't scold us. She looks pretty when she laugh. Today I adore her of both days yesterday and today. I stay till last when every one leaves I give her a chocolate and she asked "Today is your birthday?"

"Yes" I said smiling. Today is not my birthday, I missed her and want to give her.

"Happy Birthday" she said taking that chocolate and shaking my hand. Her hand is so soft like a baby. I don't want to leave it, I shake until she takes it back.

"Thank you" I say warmly. I'm not going to wash my hand today.

I hope I see you tomorrow.
