Pre-boards ke saare papers finally khatam ho chuke the.
Jis din last paper diya, us din sab classmates ke faces par relief tha.
Koi canteen me plans bana raha tha, koi vacations ki baat kar raha tha.
Lekin mere andar relief bilkul nahi tha.
Mujhe already andaza tha ki is baar do papers bohot kharab gaye the.
Physics aur Chemistry…
Dono me paper ke time blank mind hua tha.
Isliye result wale din se pehle hi dar start ho gaya tha.
📋 School Me Result Day
Kuch din baad school me pre-board result announce hua.
Subah se hi class me ajeeb sa silence tha.
Sabko pata tha aaj marks milne wale hain.
Teacher answer sheets aur mark list lekar class me aaye.
Jaise hi unhone naam bulana start kiya, sabka heartbeat fast ho gaya.
Mera bhi.
Ek ek karke sabko unke marks bataye ja rahe the.
Kisi ke 70.
Kisi ke 55.
Kisi ke 80.
Mera naam aaya.
Main dheere se teacher ke table ke paas gaya.
Unhone marksheet meri taraf slide ki.
Jaise hi maine dekha…
Physics – Fail
Chemistry – Fail
Ek second ke liye sab awaaz band si ho gayi.
Mujhe pehle se andaza tha, par jab actual marks aankhon ke saamne aaye, tab wo fear reality ban gaya.
Teacher ne sirf itna bola:
"Boards se pehle sambhal jao."
Main chup chap marksheet fold karke seat par aake baith gaya.
Ranveer meri side me tha.
Usne apni sheet dikhayi aur dheere se bola:
"Bhai mera toh 3 me gaya."
Us din wo bhi unusual serious tha.
📱 Sach Chhupane Ki Koshish
School se ghar aate waqt mera dimag sirf ek hi cheez soch raha tha:
ghar pe kaise bataunga?
Teachers kabhi kabhi directly parents ko call bhi kar dete the.
Isi darr me maine ghar aake ek stupid kaam kar diya.
Papa, mummy aur ghar ke dusre phone me jo school teachers ke numbers the, maine sabko block kar diya.
Us waqt laga:
thoda time mil jayega.
Sach 1–2 din late pata chale toh shayad reaction kam ho.
Lekin result ka sach kabhi zyada der nahi chhupta.
☎️ Fir Bhi Papa Ko Pata Chal Gaya
Usi din sham ko Ranveer mere ghar aaya hua tha.
Hum room me bed par baithe result aur compartment ki baat kar rahe the.
Neeche mummy papa market gaye hue the.
Thodi der baad wo wapas aaye.
Papa ka face thoda serious lag raha tha.
Unhone upar dekhkar awaaz lagayi:
"Neeche aao zara."
Mera heartbeat instantly fast.
Mujhe samajh aa gaya:
unhe pata chal gaya.
Shayad class teacher ne kisi aur number se call kiya hoga, ya school se message gaya hoga.
😨 Hall Wala Scene
Main neeche gaya.
Papa hall me khade the.
Unhone seedha poocha:
"Result mil gaya?"
Maine dheere se bola:
"Haan."
Fir unhone thoda gusse me poocha:
"Bataya kyu nahi?"
Main chup.
Unhone fir direct poocha:
"Kitne me fail hai?"
Maine sir jhukake bola:
"2."
Bas fir papa bohot daante.
Unka gussa marks se zyada sach chupane par tha.
"Phone block karke kya result change ho jata?"
"Galti se zyada buri baat sach chhupana hoti hai."
"12th ka saal hai, abhi se serious nahi hua toh boards me problem hogi."
Mujhe pata tha wo meri bhalai ke liye hi bol rahe the.
Par us waqt har line heavy lag rahi thi.
🧍 Back To Ranveer
Daant ke baad main wapas room me gaya.
Ranveer serious bed par baitha tha.
Usne mujhe dekhkar bola:
"Bhai mujhe laga tu rote hue aayega."
Main halka sa hasa aur bola:
"Mera roj ka hai. Papa meri bhalai ke liye hi bolte hain."
Wo thoda relax hua.
Par uske face par bhi tension thi.
Usko bhi apne ghar ka dar tha.
🌙 1 Din Ka Silence
Us raat papa ne mujhse baat nahi ki.
Next pura din bhi unka silence mere liye bohot heavy tha.
Daant se zyada unka silent rehna hurt kar raha tha.
Mummy normal thi, par unke face par bhi disappointment clear thi.
Main room me akele marksheet dekh raha tha.
Result ka dar khatam ho chuka tha.
Kyuki ab sach saamne tha.
Lekin ab ek naya thought start hua:
"Boards se pehle ye sab kaise theek karna hai?"
🔥 Ending Hook
Raat ko diary me maine likha:
"Fail hona end nahi hota, agar waqt par sambhal jao."
Uske niche maine likha:
"Ab boards se pehle comeback karna hi hoga."
Shayad ye chapter failure ka nahi…
comeback ka start tha. 📚🔥
