I Live You ...

A comedy of 'terrors'

Days passed by, Sona had by now made a good impression in front of her teachers leading to Dev's disappointment. Life at school was not turning out to be a bed of roses for her. The teacher's pet, favourite student image of Sona acted as her thorns and prevented any of her classmates to become her friends. She had occasional chats with Jatin (Dev thought that it was only because Jatin likes Aloo Posto that he had started talking to Ms. Potato). She could manage the loneliness during the classes but the breaks were intolerable. So she started carrying her copy of 'Little Women' and read it in the class.

One day Sona forgot to carry the book and out of boredom went to explore the library of the school.

The school library was in the front wing, second floor of the school. When Sona pushed the door of the library open. She was awestruck. The library was huge and looked more like a café. Many books were stacked on both the sides. The library had many small round tables scattered here and there. Wooden flooring adorned the floor. At the end of the library were huge glass windows which gave a view of the main ground. Right there sitting in the library when any reader would get tired or would be full of thoughts, when the reader and the prose would be one and the writer and its writings would fill the entire room, the big glass windows would show them the real world & this time the same window, the same ground with the tall Ashoka trees standing high in pride would show the reader a different world where he couldn't live the book but could carry the essence of the book. Every time I open a book and inhale the fragrance of the old familiar pages the feeling is beyond explanation and Sonakshi agreed to it. With all the reading apps going popular I feel that some good old things should be retained in our lives.

When Sona was wandering in the library inspecting the books she bumped into someone

"Ouch !! You ... I should have guessed, who else on Earth could be walking with such absent mindedness" said Dev rubbing his forehead

"Ok ... I'm sorry.. but it was not my fault entirely why were you reading and walking at the same time" replied Sona

Dev didn't reply and bend to pick up the book while

BANG

They collided head on again

Dev: What??

Sona: I was just trying to help. Now come ...

Dev: Where?

Sona: We'll have to bang our heads again

Dev: Are you mad I'll rather bang my head with the wall & die.

Saying so he started moving away while Sona caught his hand from behind

Sona: Why are you behaving like Mr Obhodro?

See its important if we don't do so then...

Dev: Then ???

Sona: Sar par singh ug jaate hai..

Dev went insane laughing

Sona: & What makes you laugh?See it's serious

Dev: Fine .. it is very serious indeed

& he banged his gently with Sona's
