I got ready some how and ran. The bell rang as I entered to the school. Oh! He is waiting?
All the three periods in the morning session was boring.
Continues…..(Diary)
The only comforting one was the poem sung by Malayalamteacher. Three times I turned back. He had been staring at me. At the last period, when I turned back, he did what I expected. I couldn’t control myself.
The situation changed.When I was following the Teacher, to the principal’s room, I could hear my loud heart beats.
With out even looking from his book, Principal said, ”bring your father tomorrow. Both of you”
My God! How shall I present all these to him. I never have the courage.
Finally I took a decision. I had written everything in detail. God you are also leaving me?”
