Diamond in the rough
There strict teacher Mr Sisubalan teaches maths ,all children of grade 7
watching boringly.
Here comes Gita .
She knocks the door and says "Excuse me ..sir ."
"Ah Gita every day you are late.
Late comer .late looser
How are u going to study?
You need daily canings."
He brings the cane out and gives five shots on each hand. Her hands become red.
What a pity! Her tears fall on her face.
Her dress is torn and patched.
She sits in the last bench and no one dares sits next to her because she is from a low class.
She writes with a half broken borrowed pencil and a tiny eraser.
No one likes her in the class.
She doesn't mind.
She focuses on studies as others tease her.
Gita ,why you have to study?
Do you think you can get a degree or nothing less than to be a house wife.
Gita turns away and bell rings.
Gita lives with her only grandma .Their only home is hay thatched cottage .
Her grandma is sick and she takes care of her. She wakes at 2 am starts to study until 3 am. She fetches water from rivers and well. She goes to paddy cultivation and her vegetable garden.
She works as a farmer and gardener.
At 5 am ,she sells newspapers and vegetables. She goes to florist to decorate and pack flowers for bouquet.
At Sundays and Saturdays she sells fruits , flowers and vegetables at fair.
Then she works as a clever assistant in famous book shop and the manager is kind to her. He also books ,notebooks and pencils. But he can't do it always .
She buys medicine for her grandma and cook food for her. Her grandma is very proud of her. Sometimes she goes fishing and works in garment shop.
Well she also studies and does her homework. She manages everything.
That 's why she is late to school.
Nobody knows this and she never tells.
Gita is really happy .
She is afraid too but confident.
There come Miss Linda ,she helps Gita
secretly if Mr Sisubalan knows he will plan to fire her because he 's chauvinist
and jealous about her talent.
He always underestimate her when she is young student because she is lazy.
Unexpectedly, his daughter failed and she entered university. Thats why hatred.
Gita hugs Miss Linda and says ,
"Good morning Madam
I feel very nervous. Why ?"
Linda kisses and says
Well you work and study
But look at other children.
They do nothing except studying.
But some empty bottles can't study.
I know you will definitely pass thus this exam.
Every body writes the test.
Gita performs well.
Who knows what will happen when. When Linda hears that Gita 's answer sheet hasn't gone. She tries to investigate with everyone. She finds the torn paper in garbage. She takes this to principal. There she starts investigating students. Deepa could no more hide the truth and she says what happened . She grows furious and
Complains to principal. As it may cause
a major issue, he asks both of them leave school ,she is from low class.
Everyone is sad but nothing could do.
Linda requests everyone to hide from Gita what happens.
Gita learns somehow this but before she comes they already left.
She is in unbearable pain ,it is not the paper but Miss Linda . She never could find such a nice person then Deepa gives a letter .
Dear Gita,
I had lovely time with you .
Sadly I can't continue with you.
Don't loose your confidence.
You are my great student.
You can score better than rest.
Try try .. you 'll fly. ..
Love
Linda.
Her heart melts but couldn't keep her tears in her eyes. Every body speaks about Mr .John, American lawyer and Maths teacher is joining school. All bothers except Gita.
Mr John is nice kind man but strict in discipline. He excuses Gita but couldn't be patient any more. He starts punishing her with canning but he understands that she is used to this .
Once he goes to gym at 4 am, he sees her working in paddy fields.He starts to spy on her and understands all hardships . He asks about Gita with all teachers. They reply that she is good silent girl but nobody bothers because of low class except the teacher Miss Linda. She helps her very much and Gita also scores good results. They tells what happened in the examination. He feels very sorry for her and visits her grand ma. Her grandma praises about her grand daughter. That morning she comes very late.
He doesn't punish but hugs her and says others about her daily routine.
He supports her in her studies.
But no one could expect this ,her
grand ma 's condition becomes worse and admitted to hospital. There continues famine that strikes all farmers. Nobody dares to help each other. Gita 's looses the job of cultivation. Even she finds difficult in
her own garden .She walks several miles for water. Her grandma 's condition becomes worse .the medicines are really expensive .
She goes to near by hotel to work all night shifts and some morning shifts.All
She has to wash dishes,cleaning and mopping. She also sells water by collecting from rivers of far distance and...
