chapter 17

After thinking whole night I decided I already left my past behind, from now on I have to move on and I didn't regret for my decision of leaving Aditya. What was done was done... now there was no time to look behind. Next day it was monday, Sudha always left for resturant at 5 o'clock at morning, I always wakes up at 6 o'clock after fresh up I cooks breakfast and then I had to prepare kids for school then we together used to leave home.  But that day due to late night sleeping I was late and I didn't able to prepare breakfast. usually when we got late, we used to stop at Sudha's resturant and had breakfast, that day  we also plan the same. When I was on my way I already called Sudha to prepare vagetable sandwiches and milkshakes after reaching I said  kids to stay inside the car and I would bought the breakfast and got out of the car. When I was going to go inside restaurant  I saw a person with nearly age 30  having a coffee and that time a thief was trying to stealing his wallet that's why I shout and run after thief then after a while I cought that thief but he tried to run so I beat him. I know self defence and taekwondo, as a single mother... to live in this world every women should know this, After living alone with Sudha first thing we did was taking self-defense classes. With my little skill I caught that thief and as it was a crowded area there were police who caught that thief. That thief was a 35year man and looked like a gangster. He was glaring at me with a murderous rage. At that time the person who was stolen came running, I gave back his wallet. He said thanks to me and I said it's my duty as a human we should help eachothers. Before he could say anything I remembered that I was running late for school, then I said that I was sorry but I had to go and I ran and picked food for breakfast and run towards car and drive to school, but I didn't realise the person whom I helped was looking at me with a smile. Then I reached school at time and left kids in their class and then went to the teacher's common room. When I entered I saw that everyone was dressing up and were decorating their desk . I asked Sarojini "what's the matter ! Why everyone are like this?" She said "Don't you know today our school's biggest sponsor and youngest chairman of our city Mr Akhil Tripathy is coming to our school". I said " O Dr Atmananda Tripathy's son!". She said "yes,  and the most important thing is I heard that he is very handsome but still single, so our all single teachers trying to hit on him". By listening this we laughed together and I left to my desk and were preparing for class, at that time our principal came with a man and introduced us by saying that he was Mr Akhil Tripathy. When I looked at him l was shocked and thought what a small world. Yes he was the person I met this morning, the person whom I help in this morning from theft. I was just thinking about all the issues that happened in this morning suddenly when I looked up saw that a long figure was standing infront of my desk, it was Mr Akhil. He said " what a small world !". I never thought he would come to me and talk like this, it would be rude if I didn't say anything so I said " o' yes" and smiled slightly. Then he said " I want to thank you properly for this morning, Do you have some time! I want to buy you a cup of coffee". I got uncomfortable because everyone at office were staring at me and wants to know what we are talking ! Because only the persons who were beside me only able to hear our conversations. I said " you don't have to do that, it's ok". He said " I sincerely wants to thanks". Then our principal madam interrupted and said "offcourse you should accept someone's sincere request". I was just thinking what to say at that time he said"you should give a chance to your new friend".
