The flashback


 
LOKESH KUMAR YADAV 



Chapter one
Alone

Even after the reunion there was something which was not allowing Rupesh to sustain his same behaviour with his friends.
Because past few days was really hard for him that he spent by remaining isolated from his friend circle. 


The day after isolation from his friends, made him to think by going out of the way. He was only affected by the rude and strange behavior of Raj, because he was the only person who knew him very well about his nature as they were good friends since 4 years. 


He was never been affected by thoughts and perceptions of Rishab and Pawan because they were just a new friend for him. 

Few days back when Raj was asked by the substitute teacher to deliver a speech on a general topic. He was expressing his views about the perception of different people in today’s world and in between he was saying some funny words and which was making his speech interesting and students and teacher were laughing at his every funny word and sentence. 

Meanwhile Rupesh who was sitting on the 3rd bench of first row, who also wanted to laugh on his funny lines and words but somehow he was not able to express himself at that moment. It was the fourth day after isolation from his friends.

He was fighting from his own negative feelings and thought which was agglomerating a feeling of sadness and grief in his conscience. Later that night he was thinking to have chat with his childhood friend Prince, and coincidently he got a message from his childhood friend on WhatsApp. 

Prince: Hello brother how are you? 

Rupesh: Nothing is well, four days ago I left our friend circle and I think Our friend Raj had been changed! He not our old friend anymore!

Prince: Are you out of your mind? He hasn’t changed, he is still our friend. At this I can’t believe you?

Rupesh: Either you trust me or not, but the only truth is that he had been changed. Four days back when we were standing in the playground and were gossiping but at that time I felt a neglected and ignored by him! This made me to return to classroom, from that moment and I changed my bench and from that day I am not interacting with anyone in our group. 

Prince: all these things happened and you are telling me after four days.? It means if today I had not texted you then, I had never come to know about it. 
While talking with prince, Rupesh had tears in his eyes about what he had done but still he was not ready to talk with Raj and his group, he use to keep him isolated from everyone. 
But still there was two person who was trying to have a conversation with him, they were Pratima(his best friend) and Sahil(who use to sit with him in mathematics class). 

On fifth day of his isolation in mathematics class;

Sahil: why are you not talking with Raj, Pawan and Rishab? (asked to Rupesh)

Rupesh: Nothing had happened. And then he sat quite till the maths class had not finished. 

Later that afternoon Pratima tried to ask him same question, since she was his best friend so he gave a reply to her;
“I just felt ignored by them, so I think my presence or absence will not affect them”.
That’s why I left and I think I cant reunite with them.

After listening the words of Prince, Pratima and Sahil, he was able to rethink about his deeds that he had done in few past days.

He was thinking that” Raj, Pawan and Rishab weren't wrong about what they did but me who got a wrong thought and perception. He was recalling the moment when Raj, Pawan and Rishab was standing in front of the class to say sorry to whole class for using the abusive words in class and they also took oath that day, “we will never use any abusive words in school”.

“He also recalled a past incident of class 10th when both Raj and Rupesh was talking about the new a girl who was a new student and no girl in the class was talking with her. They noticed these thing for continuously two days then next day in recess break they both talked with her and also told Juhi and Prakshi to talk with her too. After the next day most of the girls were interacting with her.”
These pictures were making him to rethink about his steps which he had taken few days back.
They were reunited on the day when their class teacher changed their sitting arrangement and Rupesh was asked to sit with Pawan.(refer to school days to now in detail). 

It was the time of internal examination they were appeared in the internal examination of school and the results were as usual as they were expecting.
Rupesh had cleared the three subjects Physics, chemistry and English and failed in remaining two subjects( biology and mathematics).
And all them were failed in few subject like one had failed hi Hindi examination. Other member of this group also failed in subjects like Chemistry and Physics.
But the subject Physics in which most of them had failed except one or two of them.


*********
This was the second time which scattered the whole group again but they were not scattered by their own choice there was a dirty minded person who did cheap tricks with all the students of class to make this  impossible task, possible!    
Everyone was unaware about the upcoming obstacle, meanwhile they were thinking to score well in next examination. But one day, Principal called all the students of class 12th science sections for an emergency assembly and they were thinking that one usual announcement will be there about any sports achievements. But this time the reason was different. 
All the students of were discussing about, “why they were called for?” 
But the moment the principal arrived his first words were “those students step aside who cleared all the subjects in this examination”.
This was the first step towards the dispersing their group.
