This post is the continuation of the previous post.
So to understand this post, first please read the previous one.
So... I ended the previous one by saying that 'the war began...'
So this is how it looked like : All students astonished, Nice ma'am working, Scarf ma'am frowning, Druti and Rahanuma smiling.
Ma'am asked Druti "Are you the naughtiest girl in the class?". All of us smiled at each other knowing the answer. She replied "Yes ma'am". Yes, our guess was right. Then Ma'am asked "Why were you making that noise?". Now Druti and Rahanuma said "Ma'am, because, there was an awkward silence and we didn't like it. We wanted to change it, that's why we made the noise.". Then Ma'am asked "Don't you know the rules of the Library? Don't you know that you are supposed to be quiet?". She still looked angry. Now, at this point of time, something that none of us expected happened. Druti said "Ma'am, May I give you an advice? Please smile Ma'am. You will look good. Your face will glow". Now, there was an awkward silence. Rahanuma and Maryam told Druti to stop. They said enough is enough. Don't say anything.
Now Ma'am asked, "Is that why you made that noise..?". Suddenly one teacher came inside and started talking to the librarians. So, the scarf Ma'am told Druti and Rahanuma to go and read the rules (The rules were written on a chart paper and it was stuck on the wall).
They read the rules and noticed that the rule telling to maintain silence was the last one on the list.
Once the teacher left, the break was over and we are back to our talk show. Rahanuma said "Ma'am, see ma'am, the rule asking us to maintain silence is the last one. So we have to first follow the first rule and only at the last we will maintain silence". Then Ma'am asked, "So if that rule comes in first, will you keep quiet?". "Yes Ma'am" said Rahanuma and Druti in unison. "And look ma'am, it's written here that 'All students must return the book after one week after the book was issued', and actually, there are students who doesn't return their book ever and the library doesn't even notice it. And even if they notice, some students lie that they lost the book and they just have to pay maximum Dirhams 10/- even for a book which costs more than a hundred dirhams". Ma'am said "That was how it 'was'. It is not like that now. It's more strict".
Now Rahanuma said "Oh...Okay Ma'am. But listen to this Ma'am, 'All students should show their library card if they want to issue a book'...Ma'am I don't even have a library card!". We all laughed. Ma'am asked "Why you don't have library card?". Rahanuma said "Ma'am, the library lost my library card!". This time more louder laughter came from the students! That was a good answer. I did mean to offend the library or the librarians, but that is the truth...And we cannot do anything for that.
And then what finally happened was that, we all got new library cards and the librarian actually smiled!!
We were so happy! That was a very nice library period and we changed her frown to a pretty smile.
All these are my classmate's and my point of view. This is something that happened and now, we cannot change it. If I think from my librarian's side, maybe, this and the previous post might be a little offending. If you also feel that way, I am very sorry. Maybe, our actions offended the librarian. But, I take this chance to tell you all that this was unintentional and not meant for.
