V...Yes
madam what's up he enquirers. Do you really love me....? N asks. 'Kya bakwas
karti hai Of course dear and that is reason why I married
you despite odds' V laughs at her as he remember Namarata acceptance
speech .It sounded like some cooperate meeting 's presentation to him
then.
What are laughing
at? N smirked
'Nothing
dear ....V coming behind her warping his arms around said with a wink.
V baby
what do you want? N asks him by giving him teasing looks .Hmm madam I have a
surprise for you.
'V...what
you are doing dear 'N seductively questioned.
Namarata look
here he pointed out to a person Mrs. S
'Co...Om...Ee
in 'Namarata stammered at lot in front of them .Even though she has become her
aunt - in -law but the English teacher in her is the same.
'What you
are staring at me like this ' Mrs. S questions her. 'Nothing misses ...I mean
auntie what a pleasant surprise I cannot believe my eyes that you are
standing here. 'Namarata said in a totally stunned tone.
'It has been
years' N says by hugging Mrs. S with her heart filled with emotions.
Accha
then let's go to that coffee where we met for the first time hmm what's say'?
Mrs. S gives them an inquiring looks.
N looks at V cockily .Vikram...smiles at her
sheepishly when he is reminded of that day. "Chalo lets go then leave this
knife here" Mrs. S says. Come on....quick she said while her hands where
busy keeping the things in the kitchen neatly in order .Once the kitchen looked
in order. She goes to their bedroom to get dressed up. Vikram who gets ready quickly
sees Namarata getting ready and winks at her with his expanded chest filled
with pride .Gorgeous! She exclaimed looking at him. V laughs
at her 'Sexy ' he replied looking at N who is draped in beautiful pink sari. She
hugs her husband Vikram tightly and thanks him profusely for accepting her back
into his life.
The moment when Mrs. S sees them makes love to
each other."She not only feels happy for them but also feel good to see
them together even after facing so many trails and tribulation just because they
had fallen in love with each other when
they were in class X" Mrs . S though warily.
Chalo guys it's already late she says retrieving them from
their dreamy love making state."Mr. Romeo chalo.... tumari Juliet AA JA ye
gi remove the Renault duster "Mrs.
S said .Hearing these stern voice N
laugh aloud "Auntie Miss the same strict old English teacher is still
intact no change in your persona
".
"Yeah Yeah you too have not changed a bit dear"
Mrs. S spontaneously replied.
Awwh... my dear aunt you have all praises for her and not me!
Vikram exclaimed.
"V beta your wife is my student you know naa" Mrs.
S said patting his shoulders lovingly.
"Auntie Miss Do you remember his studious padaku
looks" N questioned while Mrs. S is getting seated in Renault duster.
'Yes .....' she replied by making some expressions.
Later on while driving the car V's facial expressions changed
and he remained silent throughout their journey to that coffee shop.
While parking his car V just glares at Mrs .S by making her
wry of her own actions. Because she is one who still has strong ego about her
language skills , enacting skills that makes the class ga ga over her teaching .There
are so many wonderful teachers who taught
English in best way ....... but no one appreciated
it because of her .
These are some known facts about her which V and N knew but
they choose to be silent because of their due regard to elderly teachers like her.
Once they entered the cafe V and N are greeted very well .When Mrs. S sees her competitor Prof Mrs .Sharma she backs out
of the cafe as she did not want get
humiliated further in front of her
nephew .
Seeing this Vikram gets shocked and tries pulling her back
into the cafe. Hearing the commotion near the door Prof Mrs. Sharma shouts "Mira idiot
please come inside and start your lecture bazzi .
"Immediately Vikram and
Namarata laugh aloud and say "So ....you have become world famous figure
isn't it?".
I never expected her to be around this cafe Mrs S says
through her gritted tooth.
Getting irritated Vikram and Namarata both chorused that
"You had, had and will have problem with other English teachers who are
par excellence. It is because of your ego which you have in huge amounts that
you are great and all knowing person". Sorry to say Miss Auntie this but
we are forced to say this bitter truth about you and they leave the cafe.
Stunned Mrs. S sits with thump on the chair next to Prof Mrs.
Sharma and stares at their backs blankly.
I have written this story keeping in mind a English teacher
in my school who had a huge ego about
her language and teaching skills and due
to this she hurt the sentiments of many students like me but having such a flaw
she had a soft corner for the weaker students .
