(Inspired by True Incident)

"Maine jab dekha tha tum ko

Din bhi yaad hai woh mujh ko

Dil mera dhadka tha kass ke

Kuch kaha tha tune hans ke."

"Stand up Roll Number 44. Keep Silence."

The teacher was taking attendance but the whole class was busy making noises and avoiding her warning like a plague.

"I said keep maintain silence otherwise I'll summon Principal Mam."

Teacher said with furrow eyebrows and anger was visible in her big giant eyes.

The class got silent seeing the teachers anger and her warning of calling the principal Mam.

"Now Stand up roll number 44."

She corrected her glasses and looked around the class. Her eyes falls on a cute chubby girl in the middle of the class, who was continually bitting her nails in nervousness.

"You're new admission?"

Teacher asked keeping her voice calm and low, she had sensed her hesitation.

"Yes. Ma'am."

The girl replied with a very low tone, it was almost a whisper but Someone's had heard her beautiful voice and he's gaze fell on the girl.

He was looking at the girl who was getting nervous with each passing second.

"Ok. Come here. And give us your introduction."

She smiled encouragingly at her and the girl took slow steps and stand beside the desk of her Teacher.

"Good morning class. Myself Mirha Sheikh, I am a new admission in Class 7. My father name is Ali Sheikh and My mother name is...."

She was saying everything confidently but the peon Knocked on the door.

"Ramsha Ma'am principal Mam is calling you."

Ramsha Mam looked at the students warningly and said "Class be on your good behaviour I'll be right back. Mirha ummm...." She looked around the class and she smiled looking at one student," Mahbeer give a tour of school campus to Mirha."

"Ok Mam." Mahbeer shook head in yes and walked towards Mirha.

Mirha was looking at her shoes. She was a girl of reserved nature, she didn't open up to new people easily.

"Mirha shall we go?"

Mirha looked at Mahbeer...His eyes are brown like everyone else but there's something in his eyes which is shinning so brightly and looking at his face and structure Mirha knew he was going to do something very big one day. She was a 12 year old girl but she was way mature and sensible than girls around her, she observes everything around her and she was good at reading people. This quality of hers she had gotten from her Father Ali Sheikh who was a very famous Neurologist.

"Lets go."

Mirha was now following the lead of Mahbeer and looking around her memorising every feature she looked at.

***

Time passes by like winds, its been a year since she had gotten admission in the school. And she had excelled in her studies, securing First Rank in her first term and second term examination. All the students were in awe of her, because she had replaced Mahbeer Siddique. Before her Mahbeer had comes first but now Mirha Sheikh had taken that place.

Her Securing first Rank had caused an unknown rift between her and Mahbeer. She didn't knew why but Mahbeer had been distant and on occasion he will calls her 'moti' and bully her with his friends.

Mirha is not a stubborn girl, she had realised that Mahbeer is doing this on purpose to break her confidence so that she will loose her rank and Mahbeer Comes first again.

Mirha was walking towards the library with her best friend Payal when Mahbeer and his friends came in her way.

"What the Fudge?"

Mirha's book dropped on the floor with a thud, Mahbeer laughed at her tauntingly. She raised her fist to punch on his face but she couldn't reach at his height level and in negligence she lost her balance and fall on Mahbeer...both of them were laying on the ground. Mahbeer's was clutching his head due to immense pain and Mirha was laying on him. Their bodies were pressed together like two slice of bread.

Mirha opened her eyes and her eyes met with Mahbeer's dreamy whiskey brown eyes...Mahbeer inhaled a sharp breath and exhaled with so much struggle. Because Mirha's lavender like cologne is doing things to his brains he couldn't explain.

"Abey moti..get up...ahh my head."

Mahbeer break their eye contact and on the word 'Moti' Mirha's eyes shot up to her eyebrows and soon she narrowed her eyes.

"Haan mai moti hun tou tujhe kya? Tere baap ki ni khati...aur mere mote hone se tere Gurdon mai kyun aag lagti hai ....aya bada Kaliya kahin ka khud ki shakal dekhna aaina mai pura kala kauwwa lagta hai...kamina..kutta..teri maa ki....esi ki tesi..hmm."

Mirha scrunched her nose in disgust and flipped her ponytail back and walked back towards Library.

Leaving a stunned Mahbeer, who couldn't believe this was the same nervous shy girl he had given a tour of school campus.

He shooked his head and walked back with his friends.

***

Mirha was coming back to school after her summer vacation and it was totally a new experience for her... because everyone was congratulating her for Securing first Rank in her class and getting the highest percentage in school.

Mirha couldn't believe this was the same people who used to make fun of her Chubbiness and now they all are flying around her like honey bees. Her eyes fall on Payal who was standing quietly.

"Hi Payal. I'm so happy to see you."

She hugged payal and kissed her cheeks.

"Hi Mirha."

"What happened Payal?"

Mirha was now getting worried.

"Nothing."

Payal said with a fake smile.

"I know something had happened. Tell me Payal otherwise i won't talk to you."

Mirha was daggering death glare with serious expression on her Face.

"Mirha I'm an average student and you're a topper...and now Mahbeer's friend also wants to befriend you...even The Diva Sheena wants to be your friend....now you will forget me Mirha."

Payal's head bow down in sadness. She didn't wanted to loose her bestest friend.

"Payal look at me! You are my bestest friend and i will never give that place to anyone."

A smile crept on Payal's face and she hugged Mirha tightly both of them were now dancing hugging eachother.

"By the way i want to tell you something."

Payal broke their hug, "Mahbeer had been shifted to Delhi and now he won't be coming back in this school. Mirha you're free of his bullying now. I'm so happy that kamina nakcahdah went away. I heard he had gotten a scholarship for Cricket."

Mirha was looking at Payal who was laughing and telling her about Mahbeer. But Mirha was not Happy, she was sad. She was sad that Mahbeer went way from not only this school but From this city also. She was angry at him that why didn't he had met for one last time.

"Mirha are you not happy?"

Payal patted her shoulder.

"I'm happy. Lets go to canteen I'm hungry."

She faked a smile and walked towards canteen.

"I don't know why I'm feeling this way. Why I'm sad, i should be happy he had gone away. Yeah i should be happy and yes i should Celebrate this too. My enemy went away....."

Mirha was lost in her thoughts, didn't realized That how effortlessly Mahbeer has gone out from her life just to stay forever in her heart and thoughts.
