The clock showed
up seven thirty suddenly the sun rays dropped down to Varun’s eyes to wake him up.There was fifteen missed call from his mom but
still that wasn’t enough to wake him up for the morning classes and
moreover he couldn’t afford a bunk as he didn’t attend the classes for the past
four days. So he scurried up for the class as it took him thirty minutes in the
morning traffic to reach college.Suddenly he dredged up the last warning given
by his H.O.D and he assured that it will never happen again else he will face
the consequences. As his college came up to him he came back to his senses. He
sprinted through the stairs to reach the classes but it was going to be another
bad day for him as he was twenty minutes late for the class.
Varun spoke up
‘sir’ in a blood curling voice.
‘Yes! Mr Varun
why are here?’
‘Sir for
attending classes’
‘Oh really!But if
I am not wrong the class begins at eight o’clock and now its eight twenty . So
before I ask you out what’s the reason
you corroborate what will be your new excuse.’
‘Sir I was
writing assignments that’s why I slept late at night.’
‘No varun this
too deep-rooted try something that is up to the minute ‘
Meanwhile his
friends were up roaring ‘Common Varun! you can do it with an ease you are
proficient in that.’
‘Seriously Varun
you are in the Pre-final year when will you learn all this.You are far away
from home just to study but you do everything other than. I am fed up I don’t know
how will you survive in future if this continues you will be tagged as a loser’
‘Sir I won’t
repeat this again’
‘Sorry Mr. this
time its not going to work so just stay outside and attend the next class and
please don’t waste my time as I already lost my precious ten minutes behind
you’
‘Please sir’
‘No! Just do what
I say and don’t force me to raise my voice’
‘Ok sir!’
Varun not only
budged out of the class he came out of the college and sat down near the
cigarette shop and lighted a cigarette and was just thinking to go back to his
flat.But as usual there was a messageform Rhea.
‘Good morning are
you still sleeping’
‘Common I am in
college’
‘Ok fine meet me
at the canteen during break hours.’
‘Make it quick.I
am not going to wait for you! Bye’
‘Bye’
‘Varun are attending the nine o’clock class’
‘No I am not even
attending a single class’
‘Ok meet me in
five minutes at canteen’
Varun immediately
jabbed his ciggi and ran towards the canteen. He was searching for Rhea but
couldn’t find her as she was busy eating a plate of idli seeing this
Varun also joined her with another plate and flinched the pieces of idli in no time.
Suddenly Rhea noticed Varun.
‘Hey Varun when
did you come?’
Varun replied impolitely
‘when you were grabbing the idli pieces’
‘Ohh! I got you.’
‘What did you?’
‘The teacher
kicked your ass once again na?’
‘Now please you don’t
start! its just another bad day for me and I plea to you don’t talk the name of
that creature in front of me. He always search an opportunity to put me down.’
‘Actually Varun
you fucking deserve that kick.You sleep late in the night spare all your time
in that useless Play station and get up late in the morning and never attend a
single class in the morning. You always cover yourself in excuses and that I have
been noticing since the first semester of our engineering. You can never change.
You will remain the same and blame others that’s the reason why teachers don’t like
you……………………..’
‘Stop Stop! Where
all this come from.Why are yelling at me all of a sudden’
‘You are asking
why am i. You can’t see your mistake how you can be so blind! And if I am not
wrong you are going back without attending the other classes.’
‘Yeah! No I wil’
‘Ok fine then we
will go together after classes get over and if I don’t find you it will be bad
for you!And ha mark my words’
‘Ok’
With this Varun took
his bag and sat down in the last bench. it was a boring theory lecture form a
boring whose face looked like a pirate. Varun had a fondness of sleeping in all
the classes.So he continued that and slept.And luckily he got caught by the
teacher and send off from the class.As he was in no mood to attend the class so
he straight moved toward his apartment.
