AUTHOR NOTES

Respected Readers, thanks for buying my book in this

vast colosseum of books. This book, I want to dedicate

to my mother and father as well as my grandparents.

This wouldn‟t have been possible without the stern

support of my teachers and all my dear friends whose

unflinching motivation always propelled my spirit to

greater heights and inspired me to end this book with

ease, so thanks to them. My special reverence goes to

EDUCREATION publishing company, who helped me

to bring forth my work in the vast arena of creativity and

had been a herculean support behind my efforts. I would

like to appreciate their work and support they are

providing to young emerging writers.

Readers, always remember that the nation always

comes first, don‟t do anything that can hurt the sentiment

of people of India. India is known for her unity in

diversity and solidarity. Our culture demonstrates the

theme – “Live and let live”, so we all should follow the

same. We the Indians have a secular outlook, and I

believe that the number of people responsible for

creating divisions and contradictions is lesser than we

think.

Finally, I will say that if DREAMS are yours, so all

the pain and difficulties inflicting from it must be faced

by you only. Don‟t depend on other illusive factors like

LUCK. People are there to distract you, so don‟t listen to

them and focus on your dreams to achieve them. The

people of our society are such imposters who never put

faith on our dreams initially rather cause the hindrances

but will grab the credit and want to be a part of our

celebration after the achievement over the same goal. So,


vi

friends achieve your dreams! (Thank you, SATYAM

RAI (VEER)

me as my guiding light, and he helped me to write this

wonderful story, thank you guruji.)

P “Hum bhi dil diye yeh soch ke,

kadar hogi meri mohabbat ki,

Par galti humari he thi, jo is zalim

duniya me bhi hume,

Ishq ka shauk chad gya, or ise shauk

shauk me hum apni,

Zindagi barbaad kar baithe …”

It was 6 o‟ clock in the morning, when my mother

entered in the room. Pulling me, she said, “Wake up,

Aahil! It‟s already 7 o‟clock and you should remember

that today is 10

April”. I suddenly woke up and

exclaimed in surprise, “Ammi! Is it really 10th of

April”.

My mother put her hand on my head and said, “Don‟t

worry Aahil, everything will be fine, believe in Allah”. I

simply smiled and said, “Amen!”. I got up from my bed

and went to washroom. I took bath and was getting

ready. While dressing, I opened my window. I saw

something different in nature, like it was saying, “Today

is the turning point of your life. Today, you will meet

someone”. I ignored all those disturbing thoughts in my

mind and went for the prayer. I prayed to Allah, “Today

is the reopening of my school and reopening of my life

also. Please Allah, give your blessings and show me the

right direction”. My mother called me for the breakfast. I

replied, “Coming ammi”, getting down for the breakfast.

I saw my father and brother ready on the table. They saw

me and asked few questions. They asked me “Are you

alright? Do you want to go to school?” The question

puzzled me, but I replied, “Yes Abbu, I am alright and

willing to go to school”. But the truth was I was not fine

and was unwilling to go to school but due to the fear of

my father‟s slap, I had to lie”.

My mother said, “Sit down Aahil, the breakfast is

coming”. She brought the breakfast. I had it but not fully

as my heart was weeping inside, and in my mind, the

storm was raging hard. After the breakfast, my brother

asked me, “Do you want to come with us?” I simply

replied, “No bhaiya, I want to go alone”. When I toward

the main gate of my school, I saw on the board written

“ST. JOHN‟S SCHOOL, Welcome!” But I didn‟t want

to be welcomed rather wanted to run away. Suddenly,

the security guard of my school called me, “Aahil, come

in, the school gate is going to be closed”. I went in but

didn‟t go for prayer. I directly went to the office and

asked which section I have got. They said class VIII „B‟.

I went into the class and chose the last bench. I kept my

bag and sat down. I put my head on the desk and went

off to sleep.

After the prayer, other children came into the class.

I heard their footsteps but didn‟t wake up. Then, I heard

something which forced me to wake up. They were

telling to each other, “This is Aahil who failed in class

VIII, and this is his 2nd year in this class for him”. I kept

my head up, opened my eyes and saw 10–15 children

had surrounded me, who were talking all this. Suddenly,

a girl came. I think she was the monitor of the class. She

shouted, “All of you go back to your own seats” and

asked me, “Aren‟t you feeling well?” I didn‟t reply

anything as if I was in different world. I saw her for the

first time. As the teacher entered the class, she went

away. All the boys stood up and wished our class teacher

“good morning miss”. When the teacher was taking


Satyam Rai

attendance, I was noticing carefully when her turn

comes. Suddenly, she responded, “Present miss!”. I

came to know her name was Aahilya. After the

attendance, our class teacher called me and explained,

“Aahil, you will not do any mistake this year and you

will study hard … etc. etc.” Then, she gave me the place

in the 2nd bench, beside the 2 boys whose names were

Gourab and Kamran. I don‟t know why suddenly

Gourab started shouting and beating the boy, Rahul, who

was a small tiny boy. By the tiffin bell, the fellow named

Gourab got fully mad and started shouting loudly in the

class. At this, I lost my control. I got up, caught him by

his collar and was about to beat him. But the moment,

Aahilya came in front of me, I again went to another

world. I left his collar. Gourab pasted 2–3 punches on

my face; but still I was in different world. Suddenly, a

boy came and started beating Gourab. After their fight,

he came to me and asked, “Are you alright, Aahil”. I

simply replied, “Yes brother!” and asked his name. He

answered, “Veer”. We were now best friend. Next

period, I asked the teacher to change my place. Teacher

changed my place, and luckily I got place beside my 2

best friends – Veer and Ayan.

After the school got over, we came down in line. I

quietly went out of the school. I saw one man came on

bike. Aahilya sat on his bike behind him and went out of

the sight. I asked Veer about that man. He said, “That

man is Aahilya‟s father”. Suddenly, I saw Gourab. I

remembered what he did to me. I had pain that made me

angrier. I asked Veer to hold my bag. I went straight to

Gourab and said, “Now, beat me”. Even he threw his

bag, and as soon as he caught my collar, I had already

honored him with 5–6 punches. His nose started

bleeding. All the children of my class as well as section

„A‟ beheld this. Now, they all got afraid of me. Since the

first day only, I became the king of my class, but our



4

principal addressed with an awful look at me and said,

“Again started, Aahil!” I replied, “Sorry father”.

As soon as I reached home, my mother asked me,

“How was the first day of your school?”. I just smiled

and answered, “It was good, ammi”. I went upstairs in

my room, changed my dress and came down for the

lunch. Then, I went to sleep. In the evening at 6 o‟clock,

I and Ayan went to gole bazaar for some work. On

returning from gole bazaar, I saw Aahilya and Tanu.

Aahilya came to us and asked, “Hey Aahil, what are you

doing here?” Ayan replied, “We are here to buy chart

paper and copy”. Tanu said that they are going to have

pani puri, and offered to join them. I answered, “Why

not?”. The 4 of us went to have pani puri. It was the first

time, I talked to Aahilya. She asked me my full name. I

said, “Aahil Khan”, and then, I asked for the same, and

she replied, “Aahilya Singh”. After sometime, Aahilya

and Tanu left. I and Ayan also came home. The next

day, I got up early in the morning at 7 o‟clock. I went to

school, but not inside the school, one of my friends,

Dany, came on bike. I sat on his bike and went away.

Even Dany was the student of St. John school but

from class VIII A. That day, he didn‟t go to school. He

came to pick me up for cricket match which was held out

of town. The next day, when I went to school, the class

teacher called me and asked, “Where did you go

yesterday …?”. The teacher gave me the last warning

and told me, “If you do it again, then your parents will

be surely called”. Silently, I came and slept on my

bench. Veer told, “It was Aahilya who informed Miss

about you”. I got surprised how it can be possible. Then,

as soon as I sat on Dany‟s bike, Aahilya reached school.

She saw me, and I saw her angrily. In the next period,

our biology teacher Miss Sangeeta came, announced

about the surprise test and instructed everyone to take

out paper and get ready. I didn‟t have any page. I asked


Satyam Rai

my friend but even they had not any loose sheet.

Suddenly, Tanu came and gave a page and said,

“Aahilya has given you”. The test got over. Then, the

teacher announced that the boy and girl will exchange

their copy with each other. Luckily, my copy went to

Aahilya. After the correction was over, our teacher told

that those who got below 8 out of 20 must stand up and

go outside. I got up with my test paper in my hand. I

didn‟t see the marks because I knew that I would get 0 or

1, so I was ready to go outside but suddenly Aahilya

told, “Aahil, see your paper, you‟ve got 10”. I was

extremely shocked and looked at the paper. It was really

10, but it was Aahilya who has written my answer while

correcting the test paper, and in the last page, it was

written – “SORRY AAHIL”. As soon as our teacher

went out of the class, I tore the paper and threw it into

the dustbin. The next day, we came from prayer; the

class teacher entered and took our attendance. After that,

Aahilya went to the teacher and told, “Miss, I don‟t want

to be the monitor of the class”. The class teacher asked

for the reason but she didn‟t tell anything. Then, our new

monitor was Tanu. In games period, we went down and

started playing cricket. The team was decided in the

class only. There was a rule in St. John school that the

team should be decided in the class only as the game

period is of only 45 minutes, and hardly we get 30

minutes to play. So to save our time, we made this rule

among ourselves. In my team, the players were I, Veer,

Karan and Raj; and in opponent team, there was Ayan,

Anu, Bittu, Kamran, Gourab and Vinay. We had 4

members only, because we were better players. The

match started. They won the toss and chose to bat first.

They scored 40 runs in 4 overs. When our turn came, I

and Veer went to bat first. We scored 35 runs in 3 overs

only. We needed 6 more runs to win, and in strike, it was

me. I hit the ball. It went back side of the church flying



6

where girls were playing. It hit Aahilya. When Anu went

back to bring the ball, Aahilya threw the ball outside the

campus. Anu told her that the ball was hit by Aahil.

When I went there to know the situation from Anu that

Aahilya has thrown the ball outside the school, my anger

burst up. I shouted at Aahilya that why she had thrown

the ball, but she didn‟t reply and looked at me with

surprise. I stopped when I saw her eyes full of tears and

immediately went away from there. The bell rang and

the school was over. I went to apologize to Aahilya but

her father had already come and she departed with her

father. I went home. I was upset. My mother asked me

for lunch, I replied, “No, ammi! I don‟t want to eat”. My

mother felt weird but didn‟t force me to eat. I straight

went up to my room and changed my dresses. Then, I

went off to sleep. In the evening, I used to go to play, but

today I didn‟t. I just sat on the ground; my friends were

shouting “Aahil, want to play!” I just shook my hand

“No!”. Ayan and Dany came and asked me, “Why Aahil,

you don‟t want to play!” Once again, I simply said, “No,

my mood is off”. I went for the tuition reluctantly due to

the fear of father‟s slap. I was unable to concentrate on

my studies. I was just thinking about Aahilya‟s tearful

eyes. I was regretful. I spent sleepless night just waiting

for the morning to go to school and say sorry to Aahilya.

But at 4 o‟clock, I fell asleep and was woken at 6:30 am

by my mother, but I didn‟t wake up. At last, at 7:20 I

woke up hurriedly and got ready. I skipped my

breakfast, took the keys of my father‟s bike and went for

school. In the background, I heard my father shouting,

“Aahil stop … stop Aahil!”. I just ignored. Though I

knew what will happen after returning home, but I was

least bothered about that. The moment I reached school,

the gatekeeper Mr. Venkat was shocked to see me in

such a horrible condition, where my tie was loosely

hanging, upper 2 buttons of my shirt were not closed, the
