In my college days, yes! Just after tenth I was sent to a residential institution by consequences as no other options were left for me to continue education and it costs us some two lakh plus rupees then , yes! It was a lot for us , like saving of four or more years spent totally, so coming to my story in memory today: I had a high-profile, high class classmate then , sorry., I can’t name her here or anywhere publicly, it’s not possible . So it was against the rule of hostel but they (the high-profile ones) celebrate birthdays and I learnt couple of things there that I’ve never ever seen in fifteen years of my village life then. So they’ll light up, bring cakes and other I don’t know names like looking delicious things, and a lot more things, so it was birthday of her, so the show-off category of friends bring her , wrapping an apron cloth around her eyes to give her a surprise and she was looking so happy, when she reached the decorated room nearly all present there curiously touch her like say’ who am I? Like this and obviously she can’t name so like that, it was so funny and I was clapping staying behind, so though she was never right to me and always had done a lot it was just that I didn’t want to be present, still high profile and me , a backward platinum thirty monkey, if I’ll not go may be I’ll suffer, I’ve to face more problems later, so I went, everything is okay till now, but suddenly on an useless impulse I did a thing that no-one had expected or hoped from me, yes, I was such a idiotic person, I hate myself for doing that then to this day, I slapped her taking the chance of darkness there, her eyes wrapped under cloth, she can’t know and everyone was playing hide and seek , hitting her gently like we were children and I just hitted, actually some were encouraging so I just, can’t blame them as it was okay for them to cheer but what I did was exactly opposite to my own rule, it created a sound and she shouted କିଏ? କିଏ? ; Means who who and guess what I got frightened and left silently slightly without a word, I had no wish for cake as eggs and really no greed but the thing is it was her birthday and she was happy and I just ruined, I can’t understand, it’s a thing that girls are jealous by nature, healthy competition is needful but heinous things like always creating mess, cheating the weak when they have no way to exit far away from home instead of helping you people just take advantage and one way it’s abuse, so her act cause of high level of jealousy and she was a great pretender, my one direct slap can’t justify the amount of indirect Punches she has given me still this act of mine was never apt in anyway, I transmit a bit of jealousy from her or what had happened to me that I slapped like, ଛିଃ! I accepted that problems in life are meant to happen, if not she then someone else will create, so instead of offending defending I should stay peaceful focusing on my things ignoring as much as possible still the problems will always happen and keeping aside I had to move forward, still after all it uncontrollable I made this mistake of slapping someone on a special day and leave others it was against myself, if you cannot make them happy then atleast don’t harm them when they’re happy and I did something exactly opposite. If it happened to me then I would have ignored the pain and go on with the celebration others have arranged for me, but God’s grace I’ve never ever been on the focus of celebration, I can’t either, it’s out of budget and I don’t deserve either for the life I’ve been into plus the mistakes that I made then it was one of the two heinous crimes list of mine that I committed in those days so we poor ones ignore all odds to have a time to celebrate when it’s available and rich ones just make a little hole into a big thing and ruin all everyones effort, I should have understood, thought and acted accordingly that day, and one minute of my patience could have saved a person’s special day from being ruined, afterall it was my mistake solely and I accepted, apologized later to whom I committed the sin, actually to everyone present there as no-one can even take a piece of cake leave balloons and I got six slaps back and scolding and the tortures continued…m…..a ……a I’m sorry always lastly all due to my mistakes I suffered the most.🙇‍♀️
