The secrets of Dorta

by prakhar vyas

sweets,it was the most famous one,we followed him to the shop.

  "Brother,can we had some water,"the man looked at him in a very awkward way,he was according to me a worker at the shop,he gave us the glass and we took water from the nearby water cooler,just near to it,was a cluster of chips,uncle chips,lays and some sort of new brand's.

  "Cover me."

  “What?"

  “I said cover me,".

  We were not knowing what we should do,but we stood still in front of him,with the glasses in our hands,"what this sweet cost sir,"Farhan said,he was pointing to some,sweets of Indian style,there was an artificial,flower of jam in front of it and was making it look really good.

  "It's an Indian Bengali sweet,so it will cost a little bit, fifty dollars,"he said smiling ,he would have made a stereotype in his mind that,we were not having any money and then also we are asking for such an expensive one,and he was right , we were just doing the same thing only,but he was not knowing that,after an hour he will be beating his head with stick when he will come to know that we had taken his chips.

  "Ok taken,"Goku said from behind.

  "Which one,take care I will eat only lay's and that also simply salted,"Farhan said.

  "Foolish it's not my uncles shop,that you will get what you want,now move".

  We thanked the man,but he didn't reply,Goku was really smart,we were not seeing any chips in his hand.We quickly moved from their,I was really afraid that if someone saw us then what will happen,but we escape from the place soon,there was not a little bit of doubt on us.

  "Did not you bring the chips?"I asked him,because there was not a thing which I found in his hand.

  "I brought it,and you foolish talking as if you are sitting in a restaurant and I am the cater to whom you are ordering the chips".

  "Sorry,now please take the things out,"Farhan said.

  Goku moved her shirt up and from there came the,uncle chips and one any other brand which he would have taken up in exhaustion,the mixed feelings of joy and fear which was coming in my mind was really undescribed,we started taking up one by one,but Farhan at once took so many chips.

  "Now you wouldn't take any more,see this hungry man taking as if wanted to feed the whole family"I said looking at him.

  We enjoyed ourselves a lot that day,it was one of the best day of my life,though only for some hours,but it was.When we reached our college the things were calm,there was no one sitting at the place of our Nepali fellow,we get into our rooms nearly around six o’ clock.It was our intelligence only that we had stored some packets of chips for us as our treat for night.The things were calm which help us to suggest that the gatekeeper has not made any fuss till now.After the dinner,we first took a little walk and then Farhan said,"it's quite difficult to pass nights at the graveyard,".

  "Means you're afraid of ghost,and that the persons within the grave will wake up and will eat you up raw",I said to make a joke of him.

  "I would not tell lie but ghost exist,this is my personal view,if you believe in God than you should believe in ghost and spirits also".

  He was hiding a point in his last sentence,but I was clear,"I don't have anything to say upon this,but I don't believe in ghost,and so I don't seek for God also".

  "I was,since my childhood quite concerned about these things,I was of a view that there's something different in this world,there is something which can't be recognized,but can be felt".

  Our talk on such useless topics was getting deep,but during this time Goku didn't turn up with his views,which we both were willing to hear.The talk didn't go on after this,because a man came walking from behind.

  "Hey you,are you Mr Gopal Krishna upadhyay ,",Goku turned behind,to see who need him.

  "Yes I am the one."

  “Good,principal sir wants to see you,reach his office within ten minutes,"the man said and went away leaving us all alone with the different views of ours .

  "What the evil want from you ,I hope everything is fine,"Farhan said moving his hand on his head.

  "The things will only be cleared when I will go and meet him,wait for me here"he said and quickly hurried up to the principal.

  We both sat on the garden chair,waiting for Goku to return.

  "I simply don't understand,why the things are going opposite to us, we just came here yesterday and within this short duration,our time has changed completely,punishment,problems,I simply don't understand why this is like this,and now Goku is called up,I am afraid if our journey will stop before starting only,if this time he found us engaged in any thing then he will surely detain us,my father will not leave me if this happens",I was completely in a state of depression at that time,I even reached to the thinking of suicide .

  "Why you are talking so raw,the things had not happened till now and you had started thinking about their result,if any one else would have told me that you had acted in such a manner then I would have dotted him one."

  THE PROBLEMS AND GRAVEYARD

  Really I was acting so raw,the conditions made me to do this,but the thoughts of my father were making me weak.

  " If I will be returned like a failure,then what will happen to my father's respect,he himself will kill me like my brother"

  "What?"

  After Farhan exclaimed like this then only I realized that I had spoken something wrong.

  "Nothing,nothing".

  "No don't try to tell lie we are going to learn these things only here so please tell the truth,did your father."

  “No ,he didn't kill him,foolish,how a father can,aaa..",”

  “Then what?,see I am not forcing you to tell,but I am sure that if you would tell me,then you may will feel good and also I will try my best to solve your problem,the problems are opposite to knowledge,they just got reduced on sharing,you know"Farhan said.I looked at him as if I am standing in front of an indian yoga Guru who is giving me a lecture on the human behaviour .

  "Don't you think that I am so great,I just hear this from my mother,she used to tell these things to me when I feel depressed and it really works you know".

  "How can I believe it?"I don't know why I said that but I did it.

  "Tell me and have a trial," Farhan said and started laughing.

  "Mr Farhan ,if I am right then you were the only person,who didn't tell us about the same when we asked you,isn't it,"I said.

  "Yes it is,but,see the things were so wrong".

  "If you will tell me then I will also,otherwise forget about it",I was sure that Farhan would say to forget about it,but he didn't.

  "Ok,I will tell you about it,the things are not so rude to me,it's all about my family ,my parents are always having some sort of conflicts between them,they didn't care for us".

  "What do you mean by us are you having a brother?".

  "No, not a brother but a small younger sister,she is in ninth now,really intelligent,my mother used to blame my father,for small things she started shouting, she always had a main problem that my father didn't have time for us, and my father also never gave concern to her sayings,he just kept himself calm and hear my mother for half an hour continuously,I would really appreciate him because even after this he kept himself calm, once they had a fight ,they don’t even talk to each other,I was in tension because Maria really don’t like these things,her studies get affected because of this stuff,I am afraid if she would be able to handle the things without me,and that's my story".

  I looked at Farhan,his face was really becoming pale,I was just able to get a glimpse of his ocean of pain, in front of him my problem was nothing.

  "I don't know what should I say,but I really appreciate your power,in spite of such opposite conditions you didn't loose your hope.

  "Now please start with yours," he said as if we were playing a game.

  "My father is a renowed man,he can die for his respect,and can also make someone else to,my elder brother fall in love with a g
irl who was at his college,they both decided to get married but the biggest obstacle was, she was a Muslim and my father was an orthodox Christian and so he eliminated both of them from the place,I liked him the most though he teased me some times,but then also he was the best man in the world,enjoying his life.

  " This,is really unexpected,I really don't understand,why the world is like this,they should respect the love of lovers,"Farhan said,we were completely unaware that someone else was standing behind us,hearing our talks.

  "So sharing the feeling's here,"Goku said ."Oh so you returned,was the man again bursting,?."

  “No,he was not,you know his face is like this,that's why he always seems to be angry."

  “You are talking as if he had relieved us from the punishment,”.

  “No he had not but has provided some concession,"as he said it our hearts jumped with joy,we were eager to hear what happened in the room.

  "He has provided tents to us,so that we can have a good sleep,I was also really surprised with it as you both are"he said looking at our faces ,I simply don't understand why he is trying to help us,but he is and if you don't mind,I would like to give a bad news,."

  “What now don't say that after this we will be out of the school or as he has provided us some concession so he is going to increase our day's to five"I said in frustration.

  "No,there's nothing like this,but there are only two tents in which we will be accommodated,"

  "Is that,what was his name?”

  “Ashlesh"I helped Farhan to remember.

  "Yes ,Ash,that devil really wanted to help us or what?".

  “I don't know,I
