Class started, It was organisational behaviour lecture; Professor Samantha was the best professor for this subject.
“Classssss, please listen carefully, this is your first assignment, Carrying 15 marks of your teamwork!! The topic you all have to present is Late sitting !! Should it be or not in office”
Silence in the class was broken by mam’s further talks…
“I have divided you all in groups of two. Please start thinking about the presentations” Samantha mam told; “Megha and Nitin , you are in the first group”. She continued announcing the names… “Anagha, Amol, u r in the fifteenth group”…
Words hit Anagha instantly ….. She almost looked at mam instantly with lots of curiosity… She was in dilemma for two minutes as if she has not listened it properly.. When she came out of that phase, with her head down, holding with both the hands, on the desk she started thinking “Oh godd!! Why Why Why Why?? This arrogant person with me?” She consoled herself “chill.. don’t think this way anagha! May be he will be a good student! After all its question of marks. I have to do this assignment nicely”
“Hi…” her though process broke… “Kuch socha hai tumne??” “Kaise karenge?” He said,
“hi..” she said… looking up with her penetrating black eyes, full of question mark. “ Okey… No I haven’t thought anything now but have a lil idea of what we can do…”
“hmmm” he said.. “I feel , we should do a small play, acting aati hai tumhe??”
“Oh Nooooo!!” she said in her own mind.. “How could he think exactly the same thing which I though just now” her maroon dress with golden border was complimenting her question marked face..
“Okeyyy.. I guess it’s a good idea!! But lets make a small presentation too.. we have to present this topic” She said to him…
“Backgorund, needs, etc mein nikal leta hoon .. tum related cases dekh lena…”
“dekh lenaaaaaa?? Are we not doing it here now?” She said..
“Whattttt?? Abhii karna hai ??? ” “Samantha mam told to come back tom right.. tabtak kar lenge…. Chill….
“And what abt the skit” she said…
“don’t think about that… u will be the lady wanting to go home… I will be a career minded boss… I am not in mood to leave you and u r arguing!! Itna dhyan me rakhna…” he said, “Baki sab mein dekh loonga”
“chal bye for now!! 15 mins before milke presentation final kar lenge..
He ran .. almost disappeared…
She was almost in a shock to see that her colleges first assignment was like this…
Not even complete discussion was held about it…. Instantly her sight went to the other group also where suzy and anaghas newly becoming friend, Minal was discussing the topic.. Suzy got a call .. she saw , Minal started coming towards her… she said, “Lets go canteen,, lets have tea, I am feeling too hungry”
Anagha said, “What! U r not completing your assignment.”
Minal said, “No re.. Madamji ke boyfriend ne bulaya , she went, ab baki mujhe hi karna hai”
“hahaha” they laughed, packed the bag, and moved ahead!!
“My partner also ran out!! Chal after tea mujhehi final karna hai..”
While walking towards canteen, anagha started getting all sorts of negative thoughts about him, “What kind of boy this one is?? Do he have lots of money to spend at this college.. he is not bothered to do assignments , nor being attentive at the lectures, guess he is not bothered about studies.. anyways, how does it matter to me? His life, he must see!! Now this assignment also I have to do?? Hmmmm .. I had nt expected this for my first assignment at least..” she saw around, every group was discussing their presentation. She started feeling more and more sad about amols behaviour.
Time passed along with the lectures…
After the last lecture, he came towards her,, gave her a pendrive..
“Copy these slides and add your case study in this” She was shocked… Instantly copied the presentation in the laptop. Combined the presentations. Instantly, he started explaining how the ppt will go… he was clear in his talk,, when it was her turn, she also explained the case studies collected by her.. both shared their doubts and resolved the queries… ppt was done in 15 minutes..
She was somewhat happy with the presentation, but still with her doubts, she closed the laptop.. her mind started talking again, “How the ppt will go compared to others, how act will go? We should have given some more exapmples!!” While from the classroom gate, Amol turned back, came to her, said, “don’t think soooo much, we will be the best!!” shocked by his sudden presence, she said “huh.. Yes.. sure”
Same questions again while she was returning home, how he came to know that I was worrying at that moment?? But the worry about the first presentation overpowered her thought process…
Song was going on in her earphone while returning to her room, “jane kya hoga rama re…. aage kya hoga na jane re” she smiled… the moon in the sky smiled along with her…..
