I remember what big brother said 'Listen Sharad, She will obey all of yours orders, that is not for you to worry about, She will never betray you or cause you any harm but now that she is removed from the squad, You will have to take care of her daily needs, like place to live, food and some basic things'
I said "Big brother, Is there a way for her to be in my school more specially in my class?"
"Umm, don't worry about that,"
…
"If you substitute the value of x, In this second equation 2 we will get our required answer,"
The teacher looked at us and said "Now, Everyone solve the rest of questions in the text book if you find any difficultly, you ask me, That is all for today,"
After teacher finished yapping teacher left the class,
And then everyone gathered around Shradha and started asking questions about her and her hobbies,
Well, I had no interest in asking her any questions,
I was just in my seat staring at the questions the teacher had taught,
They weren't that difficult,
I already did this chapter a week ago with my home tutor,
Yeah, My grades were down and my father forced me to take extra classes at home,
It is not like I am failing; I was just not getting marks he thinks I could if we worked hard,
…
I remember father saying "Sharad, you have more potential than me, You can buy anything you want cause I and our ancestors worked hard and It is our duty to continue working hard and strive for the glory they couldn't obtain, You know your great grandfather was merely a farmer and he fought in the great war 2 and he also got the chance to visit those developed countries of the Eurosen continent which was the core of the war, And he got very good pay in the war,"
He looked at me and said "What do you think he did with that money?"
I said "What?"
My father said in serious tone "He could have wasted those money in drink and prostitutes as he alone went through the trauma of war and survived through it,"
My father said again looking at my eyes "War is horrific beyond words, He used to tell me war stories,"
He said "Granpa used to say, how he killed 11 of enemy soldiers alone but that is not what terrifies me, what terrifies me is how did he lived in those war pits for days? Holding gun, you can't sleep because what if the enemy attacks in night, due to lack of food resources he said he at meat of his dead comrades."
I looked horrified at father, "What do you mean? He ate human meat?????? That is disgusting."
I couldn't believe that sweet and gentle looking old man was such a terrifying creature,
Father looked at me and said "Shut up, what do you know? He was forced to do it? Well, the man they ate meat of was already dead and his comrades forced him to eat the meat so all of them would feel guilty and to keep all of it secret,"
Then father smiled and said "Of course it is not about all about glory, It is about luxury too, Your sister and mother can get any luxurious item they want"
He looked at me and said "And you too can but what will you think will happen? Once I get retired from my post? Do you think those people smiling at us in the party will help us?"
He laughed and said "If you believe that, Then it is nothing but foolishness and Once I get retired of the job do you think you can live in the luxury you are living in?"
He said in serious tone "Of, course you can't!!!"
"So, Work hard!! First for yourself and then for the glory of our for-fathers and your coming sons."
