I was a quite an excellent student, above average, even ranked among the top students. My father got involved despite my talent, I wasn't striving to be the best. There's saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none," and that is precisely how I wanted to be. I took sports activities, drama, social work, even bicycling with the equal degree of interest as my studies. I excelled in all subjects besides for mathematics. That became my weakest spot.
One day, my father visited town and met with my Maths Teacher. Teacher praised me and recommended that I put extra attempt into mathematics. Hence, my father determined to meet my math Teacher Mr. Balwinder Singh to discuss the matter similarly even though was elder to him however a chum of him from our native. I need to admit, I wasn't too thrilled about my father's interest in my life. It felt like he was burdening me with expectancies and looking to manage my jovial and careless nature. When he got back home, my father instructed me that he had met my Teacher and has a suggestion for me.
Balwinder Sir firmly believed that putting in extra effort in mathematics will pave the way for a bright future for me and that's how he made my father agree to send me to his place for 10-15 days as institute is closed for the vacations and Sir's wife is visiting her parents. My father has arranged for me to stay with him and arranged everything own his own.
Initially, I had my doubts. After all, I excel in my studies and have never felt the need for any additional efforts. I wondered if sacrificing my sports competitions and leisurely activities would it be really worth it. However, my father's wish prevailed, and I agreed to offer it a shot.
The day finally arrived when my father whisked me away in his taxi (my father was a taxi driver in capital city) to the Teacher's house, nestled in a old fashioned little town 15 kilometers faraway from our village. As we left the familiar fields at the back of, I watched in awe as the panorama converted before my eyes. Muddy roads gave way to charcoal roads, brick kilns and rubbish houses replacing lush green gardens and sprawling fields of my village. Stray animals regarded wandering around as if they own the town.
Eventually, we arrived at an old, weathered pucca house. Father parked the vehicle and told me to collect my belongings. With my clothes bag and a jar of homemade pickles in hand, I reluctantly observed my father, prepared to embark on this new adventure of getting to know and boom.
As we made our way down a narrow street, with a knock on the door my father beckoned for someone to reply. To my pleasure, a girl appeared, opening the door with a warm smile. As the door swung open, my eyes right now caught sight of my Teacher's -wheeler parked in the courtyard. A sense of alleviation washed over me, understanding that we had eventually arrived.
Deep inside, an experience of contentment settled in my thoughts. If I ever felt the need to retreat, I may want to always go back to the comfort of our village. It wasn't too far away, only a mere two to three hours walking. However, this place appeared instead inviting, with stable electric supply and private rooms, I found solace with the notion of staying right here for some time and experience comfort of a township.
Lost in my mind, I failed to observe when we crossed the brink and found ourselves inside. Suddenly, a tumbler of water placed gently at the desk. My father and teacher chatting at the same time I was told to go to the room on first floor of the house, wherein a television awaited my company.
After a while, my father called out my name, and as I descended the stairs, I observed him preparing to go away. To my surprise, Teacher's wife and daughter also carrying their stuff as if they too are leaving.
My father explained that I could go back in a week or so however for now he is while going back to capital city he would drop teacher's wife and daughter to the nearest railway station. With a heartfelt farewell, my father bid me and Teacher adieu, instructing me, "be a pleasing and obedient, learn things fast with full attention and comply with each instruction with heart."
As the room emptied, Teacher's voice took on a distinct tone. "Here, I am no longer your Teacher," he said, his eyes twinkling mischievously, "but Balwinder. Consider me your buddy. Only then will you absolutely excel in something you do, and find pleasure in it." I nodded aimlessly.
But then, all of sudden, Teacher's hand came down with a powerful slap on my buttocks. Startled, I winced, however his warning became clear - "Not Sir, however Balwinder, Understood?" I nodded again, rubbing the sting away.
With a quick movement, Teacher locked the door and led me inside. "Roop has cooked the meal we have to not to worry about dinner". But first, let's make ourselves get along like friends." I settled down, ready for the talk that about to unfold.
Balwinder leaned in, his husky voice welcoming, "Nandan, this is your own home now. Feel loose to stay readily. If you need whatever, just let me know." As he spoke, he casually taking of his kurta, revealing a grey furry chest. "You can do the same, and relax" he advised playfully. "Show me what you've got."
Engrossed in sudden change in tone and manner of teacher I forgot for a second that I am in Teacher's residence right here with him all alone. He skillfully weaved threats into our banter, reminding me to call him as Balwinder and be a friend. It become an odd but one that brought us nearer.
Time flew by before I knew teacher whisked me away on his two-wheeler to a close-by market. He bought a few necessities, packed them right into a bag and made our way back home.
As we arrived back home, I asked "Balwinder, wherein can I go to relieve myself?" I noticed a mischievous grin as he responded, "Why not in my mouth?" Feeling embarrassed I sped way to the courtyard finding an drain outlet I peed with a sigh of relief.
Later Balwinder informed me that there is a toilet at the back of the house and even one upstairs that I should use. We decided to take it easy for the day and focus on entertainment, with plans to start practicing mathematics the next day.
I expressed my concern about the inconvenience of having a bath in the closed bathroom (in our village we bath either at river side or in open near tubewell) and washing my clothes every day. Balwinder suggested I keep my dirty clothes in a basket laying there in corner at backyard next to bathroom and regarding uncomforting of having bath in closed bathroom I can bath in open in backyard as no one else is there besides two of us. I can be in underpants at home. He even offered me a pair of soft, white breeches from his daughter's closet. They fit almost perfectly, but instead of covering my hips, they were more like panties.
