Sibylline
The class teacher took Myra to supervisor's office , Myra on the other hand was nervous to go to apparently strict supervisor's room and she wondered why was she taken to the supervisor's cabin .
"Myra we want you to play the lead role in upcoming skit (play)" the supervisor of primary section told Myra .
With long silky hair and fair complexion Myra seemed appropriate option to the class teacher for lead role in school morning assembly play.
Myra felt amazed ,the idea of being in the spotlight actually made her excited and happy.
Then supervisor asked Myra " Will you participate or not? tell us right now because you will have to manage the costume on your own and this short play is a day after tomorrow ".
Myra was stunned ."Just one day to prep for everything, first I need to ask my parents if they can arrange everything for me on such a short notice " Myra thought to herself .
"Would you be able to climb up the stairs properly towards the centre assembly stage ?" Myra's class teacher spoke out breaking Myra's trance of thoughts .
Myra looked blankly at her class teacher and she right away understood what her class teacher meant .
The class teacher feared that Myra being clumsy clown could trip off the stairs ruining the play . Myra felt a lump in her throat hearing her class teacher's doubt on her abilities.
"Come on , reply fast we don't have much time left already " the supervisor asked sternly seeing a quiet Myra . She finally replied thoughtfully ," Ma'am I need to discuss it with my mom first".
The Supervisor spoke out irked," Look we don't have so much time to wait for your mother's permission, reply us right now".
Before Myra could act or rather react , Supervisor declared ," Let it be, now Ishani( Supervisor's relative) will play the role perfectly .
Myra left the office embarrassed , something ached in her heart and a few tears left her eyes but Myra wiped her eyes before anyone spot her crying . 12 yr old Myra felt dejected and her morale went down further .
Rejection and disappointment became a big part of Myra's life . Myra tried to erase these memories but they never got removed from her mind instead they floated back in her brain whenever she felt sad due to any other reason .
"Myra get ready faster , we are going for shopping" Myra's mother called her . Myra's cousin sister is getting married therefore , Myra and her mom are going out for shopping in a nearby Mall .
"Mom! Look this dress looks pretty . Can I have this dress for the wedding function?" Myra asked her mother . Her mother nodded her head in affirmation .
Myra bought her favourite dress and a huge grin got plastered on her face . Myra moved out of the clothing store and she spotted Starbucks .
Myra being an addict for coffee made her way towards the outlet while Myra's mom saw some attractive shawls at sale .Henceforth ,Myra went alone while her mother thought to look at the shawls and join Myra after 10 minutes .
Myra was thinking what to order on her way towards the tempting bean dreamland . She opened the glass door and she quickly made her way to the counter .
As Myra stepped towards the counter she saw a boy augmenting with the manager . The boy exclaimed, "Do you call it a cold coffee ! This does not even have a single chunk of ice in it! I want my refund or else I will throw this coffee right here !".
Before the manager could put forth his reply , this boy threw the coffee backwards without looking behind. This thrown coffee got splatted on a customer standing a few metres away from him . This customer was none other than the ultimate Schlemiel Myra Sharma .
This time Myra didn't got burned but her face got covered with coffee . Myra looked at the paper bag in her left hand which too got drenched in coffee and her face paled instantly , the dress she bought few minutes ago too got stained .
Myra fumed with anger without even a delay for a second she yelled,"Hey you mister ! Have you lost all your bloody senses!".
The boy turned around revealing his face to Myra . This boy was the same guy who earlier burnt Myra with coffee and seeing him again Myra's anger increased to 100 times .
The boy short back at Myra," Oh...you came here too . Why the heck you are after me ! I guess you love coffee. Look here is some coffee on the floor you can lick it from here!".
Bam! A tight slap landed on Samir's face. Myra retorted ,"Remember this slap before uttering nonsense to anyone ! An egoistic idiot like you deserve this slap because you are a manner less jerk".
Fuming Myra left Samir clenching his jaw with a hand imprinted on his face . Myra was furious but still she felt a sense of pride in giving a befitting reply to an egoistic brat .
Finally, Myra's cousin sister wedding day came . Myra wore a beautiful orchid pink saree which belonged to her mother . This time Myra tried to be a bit confident with her saree and makeup because she wanted to fully enjoy her cousin sister's wedding .
Myra looked ravishingly pretty and many ladies eyed Myra for their potential future daughter in law . Myra knew how she was getting eyed by ladies for their respective sons .This made her feel awkward and shy at the same time .
Myra made a excuse and she went to the room where the bride was getting ready . She congratulated her cousin with a warm hug . A lady commented ,"Myra your cousin Neha is getting married , now even you should marry because Neha is almost your age . Look there is a certain age for girls to get married ".
Myra gave a fake smile to these
' so called' well wisher ladies and she made her way out of the room. Myra rolled her eyes internally at the comments of these great nosey ladies .
Myra thought to go where the snacks were getting served as she felt hungry but before Myra could climb down the stairs a hand covered her mouth and she got dragged backwards .
"Am I getting kidnapped or worse this person is going to kill me ! " Myra's mind ran in an overdrive of thoughts .
This boy pinned Myra to a wall tightly . Myra screamed but no one heard her scream . This person then snaked Myra's waist and he took her on his shoulders to a room.All throughout this freaky situation Myra was unable to see this person's face because this particular corridor had dim lights.
Myra got scared to the core . This person banged Myra on the bed . Myra finally saw this person's face and she felt her heart thumbing hard .
This person removed his shirt making Myra shriek and she closed her eyes in fear . This person whispered near Myra's ear ," Do as I say , wear my shirt and remove what all you are wearing!".
Myra fainted out of terror . When Myra regained her consciousness she saw a girl looking at her with concern . This young girl spoke out, "Didi (elder sister). Please change your clothes as they got stained".
That attacker peeked inside the room and Myra panicked, "Get this boy away! What is he doing here! He did something wrong to me and I guess you too are a part of this gang !".
This girl gave confused expressions to Myra while this person spoke out,"No she is my sister Kaya and I am his brother Samir Jha . I saw your clothes got stained red from behind , it was a huge stain which could land you in public embarrassment and trouble . So, I thought to help you but then you fainted all of a sudden. Therfore, I brought my sister to help you out. I am sorry, I was out of words to explain this situation to you directly and I guess that scared you".
Myra was astonished after hearing Samir. She changed into the clothes brought by Kaya .Myra then thanked the helpful 12 yr old Kaya.
After Kaya left the room , Myra asked Samir, "When you were helping me then why did you act like a creepy predator?".
Samir replied," I thought to freak you out a bit as a revenge to the slap that you gave me publicly!". Samir then left the room leaving Myra stunned .
Samir is typically Sibylline for Myra . Sibylline means mysterious ; cryptic . On one hand, Samir creeped Myra by his eerie cryptic words and on the other hand he helped Myra instead of making her go through public humiliation which he could have done easily to seek revenge for being slapped publically . Samir has a very mysterious and cryptic personality to comprehend .
