                                     Unforgettable Moment

It was 19^thaugust 2009.I was in school and was attending myUrdu period. Everyone was in a very good mood because we had completed our reading and had started aamusing discussion on it our teacher was continuously advising us to be quiet but despite of finger on our lips we all were talking.

Than one of our teachers called two  of my class fellows ,they returned with a pale faces having a paper in their hand. And suddenly the atmosphere of the class changed when they said “9^thka result agayahaiaurmaam roll wise sub kobularahihai” the class, which was a fish market a sec before turned into adeadly silent place.

Everybody was looking to each another askingin a very low voice “who’s next” and very unluckily, I was the next. I had started shivering and was not even in a condition to stand .Although my papers went awesome  but I was sure that  I have failed if not in all than I must have a supply in 1 of my paper.

When I got my mark sheet “amalnama” I saw a passing marks instead of obtained marks and that were 25 25 25 25 n 25 I was totally shattered and was about to cry on my consistency of 25.

Then the time of the most embracing situation came when I entered in a class room I straightly went to my seat keepingdeaf ears to eachquestion, handed over my marksheet to my friend and start crying. Everyone was feeling very sympathy for me without knowing that I haven’t calculated my % yet.

As I was very sure for my supply I said my friend “mujhy mat batanakyaaya” she slapped me and said you got 84% why r u crying. I suddenly turned to her “really” and wiped my tears with a funny smile.

 People who were feeling very bad for me after knowing my result said “what you have done drama queen “

Agree, it was such a big drama which was started with breath taking moment, and ended with full of happiness and smiles.

And yes, the whole class was turned to a fish market again, and for the next 6 days we had make our whole school a fish market by distributing a “meethai” in our school.
