Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.”She said, praising me, “Very good.” I whispered to my friend, Vaishali, “Thank God, she asked me this question because I learnt only this question. Hehe!” Vaishali giggled slowly, hiding her face from the teacher. She whispered back in my ear, “Why does Rajni mam always take tests in the class? Why doesn’t she want us to live peacefully?” I answered, “Some people are just born to torture.”Rajni mam said to Vaishali, “Vaishali, you stand up.” A chill ran down her spine because she had not learnt the test properly. Mam asked her, “What do you mean by refraction of light?”She said, fearing, “Mam… the refraction of light is when the light changes direction… perhaps reflects…perhaps…”All the students started laughing at her stupid answer. Mam Rajni shouted angrily at Vaishali, “Again, you didn’t learn the test! Look at your friend, Divya. Today, she learnt the test. When are you going to become sincere in your studies? Or do you want to always remain a stupid girl your entire life?”Ashamed, she lowered her eyes. She thought, “Divya knows only one answer. I wish you ask her one more question. Her reality will surface up. I can’t tell Divya openly that I am feeling very jealousy for her. Neither did she learn the test nor I, but stupid luck favoured her. See, how is she sitting like a queen as if she is the most intelligent girl in the school. Huh!”Mam Rajni said, “Today, the test is over.” She was about to add something but she heard a deep sigh of all the students together in the class. She got irritated to hear that but somehow recomposed herself and added, “Tomorrow again I will again conduct the test of what I will teach today. Got it?”All the students said together, “Yes, mam.” Vaishali said to herself within her mind, “I knew mam was going to say that. Because my friend, Divya, is always very lucky in her period.” After the lecture, the bell rang. Mam Rajni exited the class. Vaishali twitched her nose and said to me, “Divya, you are very lucky.” I said, closing my eyes for a second and heightening my eyebrows a bit, “Then why are you so jealous of me? I am confused. I am your friend and still, you don’t want to see me happy.”She said, changing her facial gestures, trying to show me that what I said was false, “It’s not like that.” I said in a bit of a loud voice, “Your fake facial expressions can’t deceive me. I know it’s like that.”Vaishali said, making an innocent face, “Leave it, these things happen.” I said, ignoring what had happened, “I can understand. Humans are like that only.”She said, snapping her fingers, “I hope you are not insulting me?” I answered moving my head negatively, “Never.”Vaishali was a very close friend of mine. We had been studying together in the same school since nursery. We played, had our lunch and even studied together and still we were doing the same. During recess time, even today, we were having lunch together. She looked at the boys passing nearby us. Then her eyes fell on Ketaki. She started staring at her. I said, “Hey, why are you staring at her? Or are you thinking of becoming a lesbian? Hehe.” I giggled. She twitched her nose and lips expressing disgust, “Don’t say that! I can never dream of becoming that.”I said kiddingly to make her feel a little guilty, “Do you think lesbians are bad girls?”She said abruptly, “I didn’t say that. I just meant I don’t want to become a lesbian. I am not looking at her because I am interested in her. I am looking at her and wondering even she has a boyfriend.”I was surprised to hear that, “Even she? She was a very studious girl. I remember she used to cram the whole book. She was the best crammer in the whole world!”She said as if she was telling me the universal truth, “Sooner or later everyone realizes that the best thing in the world is love.”Divya - Oh… yeah, love seems to be very attractive. But unfortunately, I have never felt it. She started expressing her thoughts in a style as if she was a love guru, “See, how unlucky we are. Our heart is like a desert and love is rain. We are thirsty and love is water. If we don’t have love in our life, then we have nothing. Marks in our marksheet are nothing before love.” Divya - Hey, don’t start inducing love dreams in me. If I start dreaming, then I will not be able to come back from my dreams. Vaishali - Don’t worry. Mam Rajni will take care of this! Haha!Divya - Haha! You! You ruined my full mood. She giggled and said, “That’s what Vaishali does.”Divya - But when did it happen? Vaishali - What? Divya - Oh ho, I am asking about Ketaki and his boyfriend. By the way, who is her boyfriend? When did it happen? Vaishali - The name of her boyfriend is Rajan. He is a very rich boy. He comes to school in his personal car.Divya - Wow! Ketaki is from a lower middle class family. It must be very difficult for her to impress him. Right? Vaishali - That I don’t know. I got irritated because I had become very curious to know her full story, “If you don’t know, then who knows? Tell me.”(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
