Betrayal story

 

Hey readers,

Today is Saturday and I thought it is story time and I have been inactive on social media and blogging sites due to various reasons but I am back and would like to create better content for you all and make it up for you.

Today’s story is based on incident narrated to me by someone and I am creating it in a better way and presenting it to you so do read out and share as much as you can it will help me a lot and will encourage me to write more for you all. Let’s get started.

Rohini was a very good and obedient student. She used to stay in Bangalore with her parents but her native was Kerala. Being a Keralite her language was different and so was her culture. She was new in Bangalore and the tradition differed which is why she was not very comfortable with the surroundings but, she had to survive and thought that she will make few friends with the passing time. She started her schooling.

It was her first day at school. She went and sat on the last bench of her class. One of her classmates initiated the conversation with her but, as I told you guys that she was from Kerala and her tone differed from that of Bangalore which is why the whole class laughed. Rohini felt bad because this was not what she expected from her classmates. But she let it go because she thought maybe these people heard such a tone for the first time and will accept her as the time passes by.

The entire day went boring for Rohini because classmates were not much interested to talk to her because she was considered to be different. Rohini thought that she will be accepted by her classmates by next week when things fall into place and they see her like them. School got over and Rohini was back home. Her mother asked her how her day went for which Rohini started sobbing. She told her mother that her classmates considered her to be a different person. They weren’t happy with her language. Her mother consoled her and told her to let go of whatever happened and let the time pass and soon things will get better. She felt better.

The next day when Rohini reached her class she saw that where she sat yesterday, her classmates splashed water all over the bench and started laughing at her. Soon the teacher entered and started yelling at students for troubling Rohini. Rohini was made sit next to Malini ( who was a scholar) and the teacher asked Malini to be friends with Rohini. Rohini was still upset with whatever happened because things weren’t getting better than yesterday. Time passed and Malini was being very sweet with Rohini, Rohini thought that maybe Malini can be her best friend, and soon her classmates will start accepting her through Malini since Malini was a scholar.

Days passed by and Rohini was getting better and started liking to visit school. Her mother too was happy seeing that her daughter is happy and has accepted the change. Malini had become a close friend to Rohini and soon Rohini started sharing her things with Malini and Malini started listening to her stories like a really good friend. Rohini used to be happy that she found a best friend and used to tell her mother that how Malini takes care of her and how she was being really sweet.

Soon there was an event in the school and before the commencement of the event, there were few compulsory lectures. So Rohini was all ready and reached the school. She attended the lectures and when the lectures were over, students were called on the ground floor to attend the event. Malini told Rohini to wait for her in the classroom and she will be back within no time. Students left the classroom but soon 4 boys and 3 girls from Rohini’s class entered and one girl locked the door from outside. Rohini was scared and was calling out for Malini. But no response.

When that group (4 boys and 3 girls) entered the classroom they started singing and unpacking the bag of Rohini. They threw the stuff of Rohini’s here and there. Her things were scattered. Those 3 girls started to ruin Rohini’s hair and called her an outsider. Rohini was all scared to even say anything because she knew even if she shouted nobody was there to hear her voice. She just hoped that Malini comes and rescue her from these people. Soon one of the girls said something about Rohini which only Malini knew. Yes, her best friend Malini. Rohini was all shocked. Her thinking process was numbed. She couldn’t believe what just happened and what she heard. She was devastated. She was betrayed by her own best friend. That girl started to spill out all of Rohini’s embarrassing moments and stuff which only Malini knew and Rohini there, felt disgusted because she was made to feel that.

Soon the door gets unlocked those 4 boys go out and the girls were just making fun. Rohini didn’t utter a single word and was just silent sitting at the corner of the classroom. She couldn’t speak. The girls got scared now because Rohini wasn’t even blinking her eyes. She was just sitting and starring straight at the wall. That situation of Rohini was understandable because she was betrayed. What she could do? Fight? But why? Her person betrayed her who was supposed to be her guard and best friend.

After 2-3 hours of continuous harassment, Malini enters the classroom. She sees Rohini and smiles at the girls. Rohini finally opens her mouth and asks her why? Why did she betray her. To that Malini replies for fun. You are a Kerala person and are a new person.  You should sit quietly and should not expect that you will be friends with us. You cannot enter our space. You are not supposed to make friends. That day because your teacher yelled at us. Because of a new person in the class, I and my friends got shoutings and then, of course, you should be punished for that.

Rohini heard all of this and gave a tight slap to Malini and said thank god I am not a part of your group and leave the class. She did not feel bad for the first time. Because she knew she gave the right answer to Malini and then she decides to change her school. Her new school was better. She was accepted and loved by all her classmates. She asked her parents not to tell the real reason to the Principal because she did not want Malini and others to get punished she Rohini slapped her and replied to her bad deeds. Rohini now was happy in her new school because she knows that because of one group being bad not all the schools will consist of bad people. But, she took some time to trust a new person now since she had a bad experience.

Rohini was certainly a strong person. She went through a real bad time and it was not easy to cope up with what she went through but, she stayed firm and crossed all the hurdles she found on her roads to survive in a new place.

But it is very important that we start seeing people as humans and not judge them based on their appearance or the place they belong to. We are humans let’s be human and treat others the way we want to be treated.
