Soon it was morning, we were sleepyheads but the kids had woken up early and packed up the camp.
The Little Girl:" Wake up! Mom used to say its unhealthy sleeping till late".
I woke up and then kicked Rehan, once we both were awake we had decided to go eat something .A small restaurant was located nearby named "The Zinks".We went to pack the camp but it was already packed up by the kids, I was surprised to see this because it took me time to set it up and seemed complicated .Well I didn't care much and started move out for breakfast .We also dragged the kids along with us, as we kept approaching the area the kids started to get nervous.
Rehan: "Don't worry we'll be eating up soon!"
The kids then got a bit more nervous and responded that they wouldn't go .This was completely unfair to me for some reason so I asked them .A little questioning did the work .Turned out they had also stolen food from here (ha-ha) .The owner of this restaurant was an old man and the shop was mostly handled by his son "Sabi" .Somehow we got the kids with us and as soon as we entered the area Sabi recognized these kids.
Sabi: "Can I have a minute with you sir?"
Me: "Something wrong?"
He bought me close and said "These kids tagging along with you are robbers sir!" .I had expected this as the kids had informed us. "I have bought them of my own will and don't mind it", soon "Kjas", Sabi's father arrived and blended in the conversation .
Kjas :"You're such a disgrace to this family sabi"
Sabi rushed out of the shop, Kjas apologized me for his son's words .I went back to my seat and ordered some food .The kids were now way more comfortable after seeing Kjas in the restaurant .They said that Kjas provided them with breakfast for 2 Years after their parents died.
Me: "If he gives you breakfast, then why don't you come here???"
The Boy: "He had a son and he passed away after that their financial state is not well so I avoided putting burden here"
Me: "Sounds ridiculously caring!"
OK so we had to look around this area today as it was our 2nd day ,after all our purpose to have fun rather than get interested in other's lives .There was a well-known waterfall here ,so we decided to check it out .We didn't have a guide but we had these kids they were familiar with the area enough .We got out as soon as we had done eating and reached our location by evening .This place was over rated a lot .There were tins all around the place with plastic bags ,Half of the land seemed as mud and under the waterfall there were boulders covered with glasses and plastics .People didn't take much care of this area .This was really disappointing but we had already ran out of time my school was to reopen soon too .We walked further in search of a pasture but returned failing.
This day passed too ,We kept the kids tonight too .But tonight we kept on regretting our arrival here as the natural points had been vanquished .To pass by time I asked the kids about their history .
The Boy : "My father was a millionaire and also a drug addict .When my mom gave birth to my sister my father abandoned the family .He used to stay away from the house in fact the only thing I remember about him now is on his left hand he had 6 fingers .As for my mother she couldn't bear the pain and wanted to commit mass suicide but we were saved by the neighbors ,she died from the poison and couldn't be saved as she was already aged .That was the last time anyone helped us in our lives after all that we were submitted to an orphanage but the owner there used to make us work all day .He used to call us kids out in the public that is if we were let out .For the time we were in that orphanage he used to call us by the titles of slaves .One day my sister ran from there and I chased her but I decided not to step back towards that orphanage."
Me: "What about your relatives? Didn't they come forward helping you both?"
The Boy: "They didn't care about us since the day our mother passed away .The uncle my sister used to love all time now doesn't care even if she is starving to death"
I couldn't say anything so I Turned around and went to sleep but I couldn't sleep I was busy thinking the ways that could help him out, I was then reminded of a neighbor in our area he was running an orphanage, in fact his past three generations used to operate it too .I called him and talked about the kids he agreed without any sort of hesitation.
Days had passed, I had been punished for stepping into matters above my reach from my parents but it settled soon. I had bought the kids in the orphanage and they were happy .This orphanage was no ordinary orphanage as it was also the home of the owner and his mother loved kids, He also invited wise old aged people from the old houses .This was a really effective step in my vision ,everyone there used to live as a family .Since everything turned out well I was at comfort.
My days of flying free were over ,the finals were near .Soon the classes started ,Everyone was on their best to achive absolute good in their exams .Fahs and Zedu were twins in our class and also the smartest pair amongst the grade regardless of sections so everyone decided to study under their guidance .I was already good at studies but still tagged along to cover up incase.
After two weeks the exams started with a break of 2 days after each examination .Once the exams ended everyone was at relief and the school had planned a farewell party for the class .
[Belive me this was just another way of riobbing the great youth guided by this specific departments wisdom]
Me : "We are having a farewell in 3 days ."
Mother : "Well thats great ,enjoy the remaining time with your classmates .This might be the last you may see of them ."
Me : "I sure will once you pay me 20zex as participation fee"
[I bet at that moment she was thinking about telling me screw this crap and focus on something else]
Mother : "(With a creepy smile) Why not"
The day was calming ,every single classmate gathered in a room without formal dresses and disobeident to the school law .I heard students speak how their future was going to be easy from then ,how being a high school student will be cool ,how books would change to tiny pages refered as asassignments .Laughs and friendly conversations filled the atmosphere ,it felt like everyone was in an aderline rush being promoted .I like food so i went over to everyone with a gentle smile asking "So Can I Try It ? Seems like a master was hired over here" .
[Stop just stop thinking its not my fault along with joy there was also beautiful tastes in the atmosphere]
The kids i had bought earlier used to come to my house once in a while and this time they told me something.Guess what they decided their names ,and here I didn't even know that they didn't have names .I feel ashamed i dragged someone out of one area to another and I didn't even bother asking them their names .I acted all happy and high [Obviously I can't tell them I didn't knew it ].The girl was named "Fariya" and the kid was named "Jkas" inspired by the name of the old man who owned a resturant .He said he wanted to be as kind as the old jkas.
Days were passing by all in fun untill one evening ."The results are out ,Click below to cheek your result" this popup was texted me ,I opened it with fear ,My heart racing ,colors fading ,shaky fingers clicked on it and fetched my result .I was surprised to see myself on an A+ grade ,I study but i thought an A would be the best but who knew luck was all mine .I shared my accomplishment with everyone at the time ,I was well appreciated and all that happens after such stats .There is also a part where you get money , and believe me its my favorite one .
The next morning my routine of waking and eating was interrupted by a door knock .Some of my classmates were there ,I stepped forward.
Me : "what's up! What drives you all here?"
At this moment everyone was silent and after some delay i was informed one of our classmates had committed suicide. I was sad but I was not expecting what they said then "Fahs committed suicide facing his average grade" .
Me : "Say What !"
Me: "That's terrible! How's Zedu going along with this?"
Well they all seemed fragile and were on tiring duties informing and helping in Fahs funeral .Are the benefits of having friends and relatives? , It seemed nice .There was almost everyone at his funeral and everyone was contributing in one way or another blending into the environment I also got involved in basic tasks to help out ."I don't know but something feels out of tone, never mind ".Soon it was all to an end, everyone was leaving and so was I but also waiting to see Zedu and encourage him.
It had been three days since Fahs had passed away and now everyone started to focus on what was coming ahead .I was personally excited as we would be promoted to high school or you can say the board class to get that adult feel. There were way too many things to keep my head engaged.
[Ok Ok, I'll tell a little but no more .For beginners we would have no self-written text documents, There would be no one in the primary staff to push us anymore, For no reason the kids would see you and call you by your name in respect because now you are a high student or adult I should say (HAHAHA)]
We were assigned several tasks in this week and everyone gave a promising outcome, We were all active and excited .A week passed and we were introduced to our new teachers .
Yash:"I am your new teacher".
Kashif :"Sir kashif".
Kumar :"For Biology".
Well the first week was amazingly good .It did take some time to adjust with the new staff but the effort was worth it, My favorite was Sir Kashif .He was a teacher for teaching chemistry and I never understood chemistry unless I had met him .These days my routine was getting harder and harder, The day would be started by school and after that I used to get a hour free and then would leave for my tuition .I used to be free after 8PM and I hated this routine.
Time was passing by quick, or maybe I was in a constant state of adrenaline .Soon the first terminal exams were about to hit us and I was well prepared, so I did whatever smart child does , yes I had also requested my father to buy me a smartphone (I mean begged).
Me: "Do you trust me?"
Father: "What makes you question such a thing?"
Me: "Just tell me ".
Father: "No, Why should I? Give me one valid reason I should trust you as an individual".
Me: "Point [HAHA].Ok, so you will be getting me a smart phone if I end up in top 3".
Father: "[Thinks About It And Realizes His Son Is A Fool] OK!
