Who Wrote My First Love Letter ?

I still remember those refreshing days of my schooling. when i had gone past 12yrs and started wearing Full trousers instead of those skinny short pants, with a feel from inside that, "I had grown up baby!!!"..

I was in class 7 and only three worlds were known to me... Home, School, and PLAYGROUND..


One fine day when I was playing in school ground I heard a voice from behind, calling me.

"Murali Krishnaaaaaa... Murali Krishnaaa.."

I thought "who the hell is disturbing me" and turned around, to my disbelief its was one of my class teacher.

[Note: Friends here most of the conversations were actually happened in my native language TELUGU, but for everyones understanding, im writing in English]

I approached her half heartedly and wished her "Good Afternoon Teacher !!!" n from inside << "why this stupid teacher is calling me now ?">>

she said with her fowl face, "Principal sir wants to talk to you " and left.

"oops !! several questions raised in my mind.. why ? what ? how ?"

I am sweating but thats mixed up with my play time sweat. I am going closer to his room and my tension is raising..

I Knocked at his door and asked with a humble voice "Excuse me !! sir"

"Yes !" a cool and gentle wishper came from inside.

I thought that there is nothing serious to worry, and wished him "Good Afternoon Sir"

"Well ! hows your studies going on ?" the first question came from him like a rocket..

"Fine sir", I murmured..

"Do you really think that you are concentrating on your studies these days ?", the second question made me think for a while,

<<"why he is asking so ? what made him ask like that ??" >> and i answered in a low Voice "yes sir"

And to my dismay his next command is "take a dictation, I want to test you."

He told me to write and started dictating in Telugu. "Bharatha Desham Naa Mathru bhoomi, nenu naa deshamunu premisthunnanu. Bharatheeyulu andharu naa sahodharulu..... " [Actually its a Telugu version of our Pledge "India is my country, I love my country, all Indians are my brothers and sister.... "]

I am writing what ever he was dictating but in my heart i am thinking <<"Why the hell he is making me to write all this nonsense ?">>

Then he told me to stop and took the paper from me. and along with that he took a paper from his table too..

He is carefully inspecting the 2 papers. i don't have any idea, why he made me to write. I am just worried about how many mistakes i wrote.

then he had thrown that paper on my face and started showering words on me.

" I never expected this from you, I didn't call your parents because, I know you are a bright student and your parents are doing hard work for your studies and career, now don't make them feel sad with your deeds"

I am hearing but didn't understood why he is over reacting for a small dictation, when he himself knows that I am the class first.

Then he said "This is my first and last warning, never repeat this again.."

I was standing quite and unfolded the paper that he throwed at me and I was stunned to notice that.

IT WAS A LOVE LETTER WRITTEN BY ME ?????? (Not exactly Me somebody wrote on behalf of ME to my classmate Miss J)

on that letter some words were rounded off like "nenu [me], premisthunnanu [love] and some more words" .. and i understood the real mystery behind his dictation.

and I started arguing with him "Its not me !! I had never written this letter."

then he raised his voice " If you didn't write how those words are matching ??"

I thought in mind, "what a weird analysis, a boy of my age will write the same way how i wrote.."

I am inspecting the paper like Bhomkesh Bhakshi ( a detective character from a Hindi thriller serial which was famous that times ) and found a clue and showed him.

In Telugu "K" resembles "S" word and the fellow who created the letter plot wrote "K.Murali" in Telugu instead of "S.Murali" which I showed him, and argued further that I am innocent.

Then at last he said " whether you wrote this or not, but this shouldn't repeat again, and concentrate on your studies, Because your parents have lot of hopes on you."

I left the room but not his words, Till now I never wrote a Love letter !! that much his words inspired me.

So, that was my first love letter, Still I don't know "Who Wrote My First Love Letter?"
