AneStory: Missing Something?

Missing Something?

The slow pace of life was catching up with Hera and his friends, for it was again the end of semester time, again the submission time. However, pupil and most of the faculty have forgotten, the reason why it is called "SUB" - "MISSION" and not "The Mission", but still it got the treatment of as if it was the most important thing of degree, but it was not. The most important part of degree is Exams! And in this all turmoil of heart, friendship and mind everyone had neglected last result.

Last result came when things were upside down for the group, and none expected any good news, and they did not get one. Everyone slipped on the charts of Exam results. Hera, who was favored to score well, ended up with 3 backlogs! Monk did no better, Duds, Vee, Wari had slipped on their grades too, so had others. Taklya was annihilated, had failed all subjects, it gave him more reason to switch field, and he did, this time his parents relented.

Hera was just heartbroken; nothing had gone in his favor in last few months. Nor the result, the things in group or getting to be with Monsoon! Hera was taking stock of situation, of past semester, resting on his back, in college garden and looking at the stars in clear sky, which were starting to sparkle. Wondering if he will ever be able to meet Monsoon again?

And he dozed off, dreaming of Monsoon, sweet dreams; his dreams were anything but not worth A-certificate, certainly juvenile! In his dream he felt she was next to him, and in reality it was the black dog, wanting her nightly abode back from Hera. Hera in his sleep: "Don't kiss me, we are not old enough, and we will certainly do this after we are married."

Listening to all this, by chance Monsoon was standing near the tree. She was dumbstruck, of what she was hearing, the guy who she thought of as her lucky charm was always dreaming about her. She listened, and smiled, and came and sat next to him. Black dog decided to take the hike to other bench.

She hated it, but it was time to wakeup Hera, and anyway watchmen would do that in matter of time. And as she decided to do it, voices of Monc and Wari made their about to occur appearance obvious, and she left but with a smile.

Monc woke Hera up and along with Wari, for a change they walked down to mess, chit chatting, Hera making a pitch to Wari again to introduce him to Monsoon, and three of them having a laugh. A relaxed night; just before the 1st day of Preparative Leave (PL), the book crunching time.

Monc:"You know what! We all are missing something from our life."

Hera:"I do not know about you all, but I am missing Monsoon."

Wari: Hitting Hera with a book: "Oh! Yes you are! But he is talking about seriousness about our studies, after that poor result. Good Night."
