NO! NO! I failed my English paper again. There goes amma all over again. “Hare Bhagavan! How can I have such a stupid daughter? Won’t you ever learn this language properly?”
I wake up fram my deep sleep with the sour taste of paneer and spinach curry in my mouth. I uncomfortably try swallow down the horrible taste but it remains there. I sleepiedly valk towards the bathroom and merely touch my teeth with the toothbrush. Hurryly I pour water over my body and walk out. Today no time to wash heair. I myself can sense the sour smell of sweat and coconut oil flying fram my hair but I can’t help it. I pour somemore oil to flat my hair down and put a big group of jasmine on my hair. Today go late surely teacher vill scold.
Then I think of him. I smile. I dream about how ve might bumper into each other today. But god is bad, no? He never lets it happen. Aiyo, there is amma again. I quickly race down steps so that can reach kitchen fast and make her keep quiet.
Within 10 minutes I’m ready to hop onto bus. Hai, hai! Crowd in India buses. They drive you mad, yar! Man sitting on ladies’ seat. Tsk tsk tsk. I fight with that fat lady again for my vindow seat. There goes the brown cow, I see Chandu chacha’s black doggie. All letting out vaste and eating food from same ground. Ai, ai!
School come already. I run until the yellow colour block then slow down. He shouldn’t see me running like this, no? Then he vill think I am so dying to see him. I mustn’t make it so obvious. That’s what Kareena Kapoor said in that movie yesterday. Vaat was the other thing she said again? Ahh..She said must lift your skirt a little and make him go pagal. Aiyo! Today only I have to wear chudidhar. I think for awhile. Then vun idea come to me. I lift up my sleeves to open up my dark thinly arms.
I try to remember how Kareena valked to her lover and I follow. He looks up. I get very yexcited. I show him my peerly teeth. He raises one eyebrow and cantinues to read. I take the seat closed to him. I try to peep into the title of the book he reading. It said ‘Alchemy of Desire’. Hey Ram! Veary good. He also desiring me. thats why he showing me that title. I also vaant to show I can read. I take out my favourite copy of Tenali Raman. I purpursely lift up the book to make sure he can read the title. Surely he vill like a girl who can read books.
My friends alvays tell me. It seems, his language is veary good. He write yamazing staarys and poyems. He also talk veary well. I see him going competition. Oh Ram! He is so jasmine color and beautiful looking yar! His height also veary nice. He play tabla veary well. I laugh in my head. He vill be shacked if he knew I can play the hop-scatch and catching game. My friends alvays say I play that bestest. I’m like their captain you know.
I sense him moving a little to the yather side. *giggle* It must be becaz he is shy of me. Hare Bhagavan! How can I thank you yenuf? You are answering aal my prayers. Let this love vork out. I will do yenithing far you.
I sit there like that until school bell ring. By then his friends are already vith him. I too vill be with him like that vun day. His smile is so darshing yar. I hear them planning for a game of cricket. Ok, I vill be there too. But sometimes I scared. You see, they all 4 years older than me. He also. They aal doving engineering carse in the school. But nevermind. Far him I vill go.
I vatch him until he dissolve around corner of building. Then I smile and walk in aapasit direction to my classroom. Such a lovely day no?
