'Soulmate'
“We have a meeting at 4pm !”, we all got a message on the messenger. “I am not done with my papers”, I was worried and stressed.
“How many are done?”, Minnie asked. “Only 4 are ready”, I replied, “I have classes also…”, I growled while arranging my books.
“I am free now. I will take your class. You go and complete your work”, Minnie said looking towards me. With brightness in my eyes,”Will you? Is it okay?”, I asked for confirmation. “Yes”, she replied. I thanked her again and hurried to the computer room with my mini bag.
This mini bag I need to carry everywhere and anywhere I go, as it has the most needed things like pendrive, my water bottle, pencil pouch, and the most precious papers in it. We have exams in a month and we have completed the portion, revisions are been done, class tests are being conducted, notes are being corrected. This helped me to go and prepare the question papers of all other teachers.
I work as a Computer Teacher, at a reputed school which is located at the outskirts of our city. Teachers prepare the questions for their question paper and we computer teachers beautify them with alignments and corrections in those.
While I was on my way to the computer room, I saw our librarian sir taking class in the neighboring classroom. I just wondered if he could agree to take my next class. I held my fingers crossed and knocked on the door of the classroom. A student opened the door. “Excuse me sir”, I apologized for interrupting.
“Yes ma’am”, he politely said and approached me. “Sir can you take my class if you are free next period? “Yes ma’am, I am free. I will take the class”, instantly he agreed. I was overwhelmed and thanked him wholeheartedly.
Everybody is aware of the work pressure we Computer teachers have before exams. “I will treat you for this favor sir”, he smiled as I said.
“Hey there!”, I closed the door behind me as I greeted all the members present in the staff room. I had the chance to treat them all for today. They helped me through my hectic schedule by taking up my classes and allowing me to complete the task off deadline.
“Is it all for us??”, my friend expressed surprisingly seeing the multiple bags I carried in. “It is a small gesture from me to thank you all for supporting and helping me. I am blessed to have you all with me”, saying so I gave her a quick hug.
They say, ‘Angels will arrive during times of difficulty’. Angels do exist. We can call them our friends, companions and neighbors. We all will be blessed by these ‘Soulmates’, we only have to be thankful to have them around us.
This story is based on true incidents that I personally have experienced. I truly am blessed to have my soulmates around me. I am wholeheartedly grateful to all these Angels in my life.
Angels exist , truly .
