Chapter 8
Diwali holiday
For the next two days school was closed for diwali vacation I called skars for a Diwali party..Everyone had to come at 8:00 P.M.It was our first party. Outside, there was a big crowd of people running helter skelter. Diwali was close.Everyone was buying firecrackers, sweets,dias,gifts,colours and what not!The buildings were lit brightly with vibrant and colourful lights twinkling and sparkling.And in some houses,cleaning and decoration was going on. It was a beautiful scenery!It is actually a fun and good bonding festival!And also it is good because we get holiday from studies!I loved the Diwali festival!
We had got a holiday for 2 days because of which our mission had come to a halt.Therefore,we thought to do some planning.After a long wait,they came to my house wearing festive clothes.I welcomed them to my house.I gave them some water while my mom prepared some diwali feast for us. I walked with them and showed them my house”the balcony with a view of Aarey forest, lobby area where i play cricket. Then I took them inside my room and closed the door. I said” Now let’s start thinking about our next move.So,as for the day after tomorrow,I think we are going to get platinum. Right Sujal?” “Yes.You are right!” “Ok…. So,first of all,I heard our teachers talking about doing a meeting that day….So, based upon this,I want to ask you all a question ‘cause I am confused,do we go at night or in the afternoon?”Sparsh said”I think evening time would be better in the afternoon,many people could see us!” :Right! Ok...Thanks...So,tomorrow at sharp at 7:30,at that time their meeting will be going and we can give our parents an excuse that we are going out to play and most chances are they will allow us as 7:30 is not too late! Any doubts friends?Ritvik said”I don’t want to lie to my parents!” I said”Bro,we can tell them the truth once our mission gets well,if we tell them about our mission now they will panic and not allow us to save the school! Any other doubt?” They all shook their heads in side by side to let me know there were no doubts left. I continued”We have to be alert as we are going to the vice principal’s room and she will be present there!” Ritvik then raised his hand”Hey!What do you mean by alert? I said..I mean,We have to be very silent that she could not feel any movement around her! Oh! And we have to put on the same perfume as she wears! You know her sensitive nose” I said'' Everything was like nonsense except the last thing you said. We have to…” Ritvik interrupted”Hey! Do not copy my dialogue! They heard what I said! And see! I told you to make a note for yourself! Next time be prepared with your notes! From now onwards,I am your lesson teacher!” We laughed. I said” Ok,ok.So guys,that's all… No! Wait!The perfume’s name is Davidoff. Now let’s rock!” Just then my mom came with all those delicious foods. the platter had homemade samosas,dahi wada,jalabi and my favourite ladoos which my nani sent for me.We all said”Thank you!”My dad also came in and had a long chat with my friends .We all said thanks again.My mom and dad then went to the kitchen and bought us Frooti to drink.Everyone took a bite of samosa and said,licking our lips”Mmmm…It is so yummy!!”We did lots and lots of fun that day!We lit diyas,bursted crackers together and many more!It was the first and best memory of SKAARS!
