Mimizo Part 1 & 2
In the month of June, Sunday, when it was 9 degrees in the North Pole, Arjun was capturing the Auroras in his DSLR cameras. The auroras were so beautiful, that Arjun could not get off his eyes from the sky.

Diya, Arjun’s wife, called him to have a meal. Instantly, Arjun packed all his stuff in his large greenish bag. He put in his camera, camera stand, a water bottle and a pair of gloves. Though his house was not too far from his site, he had to bring all the items safely in a bag.

After sinking his feet 20 times, he reached home. His house was as hot as fire. His 16-year-old daughter; Shivika, was sitting on the couch near the window. She had a blue big eyes like her father and she was a pretty girl with wavy hair like her mother. She was drawing a portrait. She had a huge collection of her paintings, when they all go to India, Arjun would submit all his photos to his office and Shivika would sell all her paintings. “What are you drawing this time, Shivika?” asked Arjun. Shivika answered that she was drawing the scenery of an island. She lied. Instead, she was drawing a portrait of her younger sister who died in an accident six years ago. The drawing showed her guilt for not saving her sister that day.

“Come Shivika and Arjun”said,Diya. She was pretending not to be desolate in front of Shivika and Arjun. Because, today was the day when Rima,Shivika’s sister, died. Everyone was acting like they are not missing Rima.

Diya made Shivika’s favourite Polarbröd. The great fragrance of Polarbröd spread all over the house. They quietly had their lunch. Then, everyone went on to their own work.

It was the end of October. Everyone in Shivika’s school was preparing for the Halloween day. Guest was called to her school. The whole school participated in the fair which was held every year on Halloween day. Students of primary school were given different costumes to wear. Middle school students were given the responsibility of decorating the school. And the high school students were given the baking and cooking part.

Shivika was also participating and enjoying. She was also good at baking. She was making chocolate truffles with her friend Elena. Soon, truffles were ready. Shivika and Elena were taking their chocolate truffle to show their teachers. Unfortunately, they got bumped with Akio, a Japanese adult. He was around 20 years. He was a tall boy with small eyes. He was not even dressed well.

The chocolate truffles were now eaten by the floor! “who are you? What are you doin’ here in our school?” said Elena furiously.

“I – I am Akio, I do.. part-time job…in – in your school.”

“that’s okay, but see what have you done.”

“I – I will clean this, don’t worry”

“worry begins now. what are we going to do now!” said Shivika. Both shivika and Elena bowed their head down. They were disappointed and had lost all their hopes.

“I will help you, you know I am an expert in making truffles.”

Shivika and Elena looked into each other’s faces, suggesting they should trust him. So, they took his help. He was an expert in making truffles indeed!

When the truffles were ready, Shivika thanked Akio. She invited Akio to the fair as well. However, Akio was not interested. After that, Elena reminded shivika to show their truffles to their teachers. So, they waved off Akio and went on their way to show their teachers.

In the staff room, the teacher yelled at them, ”Why both are so late? I told you to come here by 11. It’s 11:45 am.” Elea said,” Sir our truffles were ready but we got hit by a boy named Ak…”Shivika interrupted,” Our truffles were almost ready, but there was some problem in the oven.” Elena quickly looked at Shivika with dislike.

The teacher said,” it’s okay. Now quickly go and submit your truffles to the decorating staff.” And so the girls went outside to submit their truffles.

On their way, Elena asked, ”why did you lie?”

“Do you want the boy, who helped us, to get in trouble?”Responded Shivika.

“I was just telling the truth..”

“but then, you and I would have got into a problem too.”

Elena was speechless. Then she began, “I am telling you these truffles are not good, he must have added somethin’. You see, how weird that boy was, his clothes, his face…his eyes!….”

Shivika didn’t want to waste energy on Elena, so she was just smiling quietly.
