Adventure story 84. Popular Girl

                                                                                              Popular Girl
Rita was getting every one ready for their singing performance. All girls were stood in line.Rita was counting them.When she noticed college's beauty queen Gayatri was missing.Rita hated her from heart because that girl had such a bad voice.Even with her bad voice Gayatri was included in this program just due to her beauty and popularity.But Rita was sure that Gayatri's popularity would vanish when whole college heard her voice.Rita could help laughing when she remembered their first encounter.It was worst. Gayatri came in class with her unique style.When she entered in classroom every one looked at her as if she was some kind of angel.Then Gayatri gave her special smile and all boys were turned into her slave.It was her skill.She could move anyone on her finger.Even girls were worshiping her like some goddess.Rita always hated that type of girls because they were normally snob.But Rita had to adjust since Gayatri was most popular student.She had to be included in this charity function so Rita had to tolerate her.Then Rita gave some lyrics to Gayatri. Gayatri looked nervous for first time.Then she began to sing. Gayatri's voice was worst.Rita was about to suggest something when Gayatri told her that she had sore throat.Rita was confused but then she convinced herself that Gayatri might be suffering from sore throat so she decided to give her a second chance.She told her to come today.Rita "Where is Gayatri?""She didn't come in school today.""Why?""We don't know Mam.Do we have to wait for her?"Now Rita was confused.But she decided that she couldn't stop other girls from practicing.It didn't seem fair.They all were so excited.Rita"It's okay.You can sing."So they all started as per their plan.Rita was so happy.Their voices were perfect for chorus and lead singer was excellent.She was sure that show would be perfect.Just Gayatri was missing.But show must go on.It couldn't wait for one actor. They all began their practice. Every thing was perfect all sound were creating perfect effect.
           Then finally after some time Gayatri came inside and they began to sing song. But Gayatri sat quietly in corner.She was listening to them attentively.Rita liked her attitude.She didn't force her to sing immediately.After some time finally Gayatri started singing.Her voice was not at all improved.Rita was trying her best to accommodate her.But she could clearly see that singing was not Gayatri's strong point.They did their practice for some time.Then finally snack was served. Gayatri was little bit nervous.Rita went near her.Rita "Don't get scared your voice is not that bad.You just need practice.Then your voice will be perfect.""Actually music is not my strong point.It was never good.Even in my school days very one used to laugh on me when we try to sing...""Now don't get panic.I will teach you and then you can easily sing in this song."Rita pointed at other girls who were coming to join Gayatri. Gayatri was something special in their eyes.They all started chatting around her. Gayatri started pretending that she was perfect but Rita could clearly feel her hesitation. Then she saw that they all started drinking lemonade.Rita looked at that lemonade.It was made on outside stall.Rita never drank anything from those stalls.She just didn't trust those hawkers.Rita "I don't want lemonade." Gayatri suddenly turned and Gayatri "Mam why are you not drinking this lemonade?" Rita was confused now.She didn't want to tell the truth that she didn't like hawkers so she just said "We are singers so we suppose to take care of our throats." Rita was trying hard to hide her feelings.She didn't want to scare other's regarding that lemonade. But then suddenly Gayatri looked at that hawker. Gayatri " Ohh!!My god this lemonade was from that hawker.I can't believe it.It is so unhygienic. It didn't have even mineral water." That hawker came ahead and started talking "No water was best Mam.It is nicely made.No thing is wrong with it." That hawker was started fighting with Gayatri and started telling that he was serving the best. Finally Rita got so convinced and upset that she also came ahead and was about to drink one glass.When bell rang that indicated that they must leave that room now. Gayatri heard it and literally ran out of that room. Rita wanted to console her but it was too late.She had already ran away.Then Rita turned around and saw all other girls were looking at their glasses with disgusting feeling.Rita was so nervous.That hawker had already left.Suddenly when Rita saw him running away like that she also got suspicious too.
               Next day when she came on practice,she saw all girls were talking with each other in loud voice.It didn't seem like any friendly chat.It was some heated discussion.When Rita entered all girls started looking at her with anger. Rita "What happened?""Mam you are lucky that you don't drink that lemonade. This college don't care for life of it's students.They permitted any type of product."Other student "Mam you should have stopped us."Now Rita was nervous.She had started even feeling guilty."How could have I guessed? But tell me what happened?""Gayatri got some serious virus due to it.""What??""She was continuously vomiting and having high fever.They are going to admit her in hospital." Rita was so shocked.She could had never guessed that some thing was that wrong with lemonade.Then she suddenly remembered that hawker ran away.Rita "I think we must go and find that hawker. I think that he was some fraud. He must had dropped something wrong in that drink.""Why do you think this way?""Because I saw him running strange way after that incidence."'My god we must find him."Then they all spent their time in searching for him.But they couldn't able to find him.Then suddenly worst thing happened one of the student started claiming there was pain in her stomach. They all were so scared.They immediately called the doctor.She was in so much pain that she started screaming.Finally ambulance came and took her away.Rita could see clear fear in eyes of each and every girl.Rita was also so scared.She couldn't believe it that hawker had poisoned those girls.She was so worried.Two of them were already sick.She was scared for all other girls.One girl "Mam can I go home?I am not feeling well."Rita "Of course.You all can go home now.We will talk tomorrow."They all nodded but Rita could clearly see that there was none of the girls was going to come tomorrow.She didn't even expected them to come.She was so scared about their health. She was sure that this issue was going to be big.She didn't want to be part of it.After all it was all so scary but she knew that she couldn't avoid it.
She must help them to fight for justice. So she mentally prepared herself for describing that hawker to police.She started remembering that man's each and every feature. She wanted him to go in jail.
          When next day Gayatri came for practice situation was worst.All the parents were standing and screaming their.When Rita came, they began to surround her.One of the parents"You are a cruel woman.You know that lemonade was unhygienic but still you didn't tell our children not to drink it.""I just don't know properly.I never eat anything from hawker..."Another parent"Stop giving excuses.We will not leave you.We will go to police."Rita was about say some thing when a woman pushed her.Rita fall on ground and her head hit to a stone.Her head was paining strongly when watch man came to her rescue.He started taking her away.When that parent screamed "Now this woman know true meaning of pains."Then they all started abusing her.She was literally narrowly rescued from getting beat by that crowd.Finally they all came inside.She saw whole staff was inside that room including principal.Then all parents stood outside started throwing stones and breaking glasses of window.Principal"This is horrible. They all just want to beat us.I just don't understand why did you order lemonade from a hawker."Mr.Sharma teacher who ordered,spoke"I knew that hawker very well and they are totally wrong.I have drank that lemonade.But I am fine.All staff had tried it.Don't you remember I have shared that lemonade."Maths teacher"Of course.I had drank it and even took some of it to my house.This is horrible.Now I will also get sick."Science teacher"Come on it is not possible.If there was some thing wrong in it.You should be sick by now.It can't wait for such a long time.This is nonsense.I can't believe that there was some thing wrong in it.My small boy had drank it and just a few moment ago.I asked my wife about his health.She told me that he was perfect.In fact he was asking for more lemonade today so she was telling me to bring more.""Now this is all so strange.Even my children drank it and they all were perfect." Mr.Shrama to principal"Now can't you see it?Lemonade was perfect."Principal"Then why are girls falling sick like this?Did they eat or drank some thing else?"Now every one was looking at Rita with hope.But Rita had to nod negatively and reject that idea.Then suddenly one more window was broken and a stone came inside which just missed from Maths teacher on face.Principal looked around saw injured face of Rita and scared faces of other teacher."This is enough.Let's call Police..."But before they could call Police suddenly they heard siren of Police van and they were relieved.Police banged on their door.They immediately opened it.When they came out, Police were trying to control the parents.Then Principal told Police every thing.He even showed Rita to her.Police"Which was that lady just point out to me?"It was lady officer saw she could easily arrest that lady.Rita pointed her.That lady screamed and started crying."She killed my daughter.My daughter was not going to live due to that poisonous lemonade.""Show me that hawker."Mr.Sharma called that hawker.Rita saw that she searched him on totally wrong street.Then Police searched every thing in that Hawker's shop.Police"This is perfect.Nothing seem wrong in it."Hawker"That is what I am trying to tell you Madam.I did everything in perfect way.These girls are pretending." Now that police officer had turned to parents.Police"I want to check your daughter."She first looked at that woman who pushed Rita.That woman looked nervous.Finally she nodded"Let's go to my home."Rita was shocked.Rita "Your daughter is not even in hospital.""She is in home.But she is serious."Rita was about to argue with that woman.But Police woman stopped them and told them that should go and check those girls.Then they all went with her.
                   Finally they went to that girl with doctor.Doctor checked her.They all were watching them.Finally doctor turned to them.Doctor"She is just fine.I checked her.She is perfect.""But this is impossible.All girls from that class got sick...""But she is fine."Police woman"Can you tell who was the first girl who got sick?"Rita"Gayatri. She is in hospital.""I think  I like to see her."Then they went to Gayatri. When they met Gayatri's parents,they clearly told them.That doctor couldn't able to find any thing wrong with their daughter's health so they admitted her to hospital to find her sickness.Police officer asked them about their whole story which Rita described perfectly. After listening their story Police officer  started smiling."I know what had happened.This girl Gayatri didn't want to sing so she pretended this sickness. It is as simple as that these popular girls always throw tantrums like this.You shouldn't pay attention to them.""But other girls..." Doctor"They got influenced by her.She was their idol.We call this mass hysteria.It is quiet common."Rita was so shocked .All her preparations got wasted just because a popular girl didn't want to sing.Her charitable function was spoiled.Rita looked at all those parents with anger.They all were looking at their feet.Finally all teacher went away.They decided in their heart that Gayatri was no longer going to idol for their school and they would keep that in their mind.They would inform each and every student of college about this.They could understand that it was Gayatri's psychological problem.But still they couldn't forgive her for destroying their charity function for which they had to answer many people.They all angrily went out of that hospital.Rita was still touching her wound and feeling more and more angry about that incidence.
