A fifth-grade elementary school teacher in a city in India, who used to say "I love you all" every day before class started. But he knew he was not telling the truth. He knew he didn't love everyone in the class in the same way.
There was a kid named Raju in the class whom he could not stand at all. Raju used to come to school wearing dirty clothes. Her hair was unkempt, her shoe buckles were open, her shirt collar was dirty, and she had a very different mindset when it came to reading in class. Miss's reprimand, he used to look at her in surprise. But seeing her blank vision, it was clear that even though Raju was physically present in the class, his mind had disappeared elsewhere, and gradually Miss's mind was filled with hatred towards Raju.
As soon as Raju entered the class, Miss was criticized. Raju continued to be an example of all kinds of bad deeds. The children look at him and laugh, and Miss also enjoys insulting him. Raju, however, would not answer any of these questions. Miss's seemed to him a lifeless stone, with no such thing as feeling. In response to all the threats, sarcasm and punishment, he just stared at her blankly in his thoughts, and bowed his head. In this way he became very disgusted with Miss.
When the report came out at the end of the first semester, Miss wrote all the bad things about her on the result card. The report card had to be sent to the head mistress before showing it to her parents. He saw Raju's report and called Miss and said, "Miss! There should be some inspiration on the report card! Raju's father will be very disappointed with what you have written." Miss said, "I'm sorry, but Raju is a bad and useless kid, I don't think I can write anything good about him!" Miss said with disgust and got up from there.
The headmistress did a strange thing, she put Raju's report card of the previous year on Miss's desk with a pressure hand. The next day, when Miss entered the class, she looked at the report and saw that it was Raju's report card! I thought he must have behaved like this last year too! As soon as she opened the third grade report, she was not surprised to read the report's comments. The report card was filled with Raju's exuberant admiration, which read, "I have never seen such an intelligent child as Raju. In the last semester too, Raju took first place. Miss uneasily opened the fourth class report, which read, "Raju's reading is being profoundly affected by his mother's illness, becoming inattentive to reading." Raju's mother is dead and with all the hopes of Raju's life and the light of a beautiful future, he has to be saved. Before it was too late, as if a heavy burden was pressed on Miss's head, she closed the report card with trembling hands. Her eyes filled with tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The next day, as he entered the classroom, he repeated his own habitual phrase, "I love you all. But he realized that he was still telling the truth." It was not possible for the children to read. Rose threw a question at Raju as usual during the reading, and Raju bowed his head like Rose. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at her. Unexpectedly, his head was shaved today, hairless. He had a soft smile on his face. He called Raju and asked him to answer the question. At the same time Miss was happy and not only applauded herself but also all the other children. Then it became a daily routine. Miss would give all the answers on her own, then she would affectionately praise Raju. Came on Slowly Raju came out of the grave of depression. From now on, Miss would no longer need to answer questions. He used to impress everyone with the right answers and harass them with new questions. As the year wore on, Raju finished second and advanced to the next class.
At the farewell ceremony, all the children brought beautiful presents for Miss, and one hill after another piled up on Miss's table. Among the gifts that were so beautifully packaged was a gift wrapped in old paper. The children laughed when they saw that. No one was left to know that Raju had brought it as a gift. Miss took it out of the small hill of gifts, opened it, and found inside it a bottle of half a woman's perfume, and a large bracelet in one hand, with most of the pearls falling off. Miss quietly sprayed perfume on herself from the bottle and took the balata later. The kids are very surprised to see this scene. Raju himself, in the end Raju could not stay and came to Miss and stood up. After a while he paused and said to Miss, "Today your body smells like my mother's.
Time seemed to fly by. Where else does it take time to change days into weeks, weeks into months and months into years? But at the end of each year from Raju Letters used to come regularly, saying, "I have come in contact with many new teachers this year but there was no one like you. Then Raju's school session was over and the continuity of the letter was over.
A few years later, Miss also retired. One day he received a letter from Raju in his own mail stating, "My wedding at the end of this month, I can't think of marriage without you. Another thing, I've met a lot of people in my life, there's no one like you Gave in.
Miss couldn't help herself. With her husband's permission, she left for another city. When he arrived at the wedding hall on the wedding day, it was a little late. He thought the wedding was over, but he was not surprised to see that the city's great doctors, businessmen, and even the pundits who were tired of getting married were still waiting for Raju to come. Instead of the mandapa, they were waiting for him at the gate. Then everyone saw that as soon as he entered the gate of that childhood teacher, Raju jumped on him and held his hand, in the hand in which he was still wearing that spoiled ball, he was taken to the stage with honor. He took the mic in his hand and said something like, "Friends! Did you all ask me about my mother all the time? And I promised all of you that I would introduce her to him very soon, this is my mother."
