Part 12

Imtihaan

(flashback begins...)

Ishita fled to the restroom and shut herself in the first clean-to-the-eyes stall she could find. Sitting on the pot, closing her eyes, she strove to breathe normally without breathing too much of the phenyl-laden air.

She heard her own miserable voice in the past as she vented to Badi Maa( Toshi). I cant do this... really.' Ishita was experiencing genuine pain in the chest area. My stomach hurts merely at the thought.'

No, no beta! You can do it. Imagine us sitting in front of you and then everything will go smoothly,' Toshi advised, rubbing Ishita's back.

Nah. It wont work!' Ishita, in abject defeat, rested her head on her knees.

Just don't think about Raman,' Toshi quipped trying to lighten the mood.

Badi Maa! This is serious. It seems like in the whole universe, I am the only one with this problem. Whoever I tell including my nerdy professor, either laughs at me or accuses me of making it up,' Ishita grumbled, sitting up.

Maybe he is right!' on seeing the younger girl's chagrined expression, Toshi hurriedly clarified, You know all this could be just your brain working overtime. This phobia sounds silly.'

Even you think my phobia of public speaking is silly!' Ishita howled. that's it1. It is decided. I am not going to college tomorrow. Let the professor flunk me and my entire group, I don't care.'

Rude laughter distracted them. Raman ambled closer, laughing hard and loud.

you said there was no one home,' ishita whined, mortified.

Raman was in the gym. Ishu, I had no idea he'd be back so soon,' Toshi replied and turned to her son. Raman bhalla, leave at once!'

No way!' still chuckling, Raman flopped next to his mom. A person with verbal diarrhoea is scared of public speaking! This is just pure gold,' he said, nastily. The cackles kept coming.

Shudup! I do not have verbal diarrhoea. Oh! Just go and jump of a building or something,' Ishita muttered, irate.

Raman please, leave us alone,' Toshi ordered.

Mom you're actually buying this BS? In layman's terms - full toss nautanki!'

Raman, mind your language,' Toshi half-heartedly rebuked.

No one understands!' huffing, Ishita flounced away from mother and son. She sat heavily on a pool chaise, her back towards them. Resting her chin on a hand, she miserably gazed at the shimmering blue water with unseeing eyes. Just when I thought it could not get worse, it just did - now even he knows, she worried.

Raman killed his laugh. She seems genuinely upset, he contemplated watching Ishita's silhouette.

Raman please! Don't make fun of her. Madhu called me earlier today. Because of this fear, Ishu is refusing to go for the presentation which is a part of her final exam,' Toshi confided.

Raising an eyebrow, Raman mouthed, Really?'

Once in a school, Ishu actually passed out when she was forced to go on the stage, to address the assembly,' Toshi added, her voice lowered.

Wonders never cease. Over here she yaps nonstop, doesn't even bother breathing,' Raman replied in an equally hushed voice.

You go inside. Let me handle this,' Toshi asserted, getting up to go towards the quite girl.

Mom stop! Please get some Arnold Palmer (lemonade and iced tea) made for me. I'll take care of this. At at least I"ll try,' Raman said.

No thank you! You will do more damage than good. We all know how wonderfully you two get along.'

Mom, I'm serious. I have given innumerable presentations, I'll teach her a few tricks to beat the nervousness.'

You would do that?' Toshi appeared surprised.

Yes mom! Can I have the AP please?' Raman requested. Toshi headed inside, leaving the youngsters alone.

Raman sauntered over to a sullen Ishita. leave me alone!' she muttered, feeling his shadow on her.

Ignoring the dismissal, Raman took the chaise opposite her. What phobia you were talking about?'

Ishita made a move to get up. Raman caught her wrist pulling her down. She glared at him.

At least talk to me. What do you have to lose? Its not like it is going to get any worse,' he coaxed.

You'll just make fun of me,' Ishita replied, trying to tug her hand free.

Raman let go. No I wont! Almost every one of us is a bundle of nerves when addressing a bunch of strangers. There are very few born orators. Public speaking has to be practised, cultivated and attempted several times, for it to come naturally. Dad himself dreads the speech he has to give his employees at the annual company meeting. He has his speech ready several days before, and keeps going over it in front of the mirror, till he gets it right.'

Wow! Bhalla uncle?' Ishita's eyes widened. You are not making this up, are you?' she asked.

Lie to make you feel better? Never. Cross my heart and hope to die.' Raman made a silly sign on his chest.

see! You are already making fun of me.' Ishita's frown came back on.

Maybe you need to do the same. Treat this more lightly. Do you know the material you have to say?'

By heart, I even know the other people's part.'

Raman raised his eyebrows, as if questioning her sanity.

the other people, as in, in my group,' Ishita clarified.

Well then the hard work is already done. Listen very seriously to what I am about to say. Chant it, till it gets stuck in your brain or whatever you have inside your head.'

Overlooking the insult, Ishita prompted, Go on!'

When we are speaking to the group, avoid eye contact with anyone... absolutely anyone!'

What do I look at? The ceiling?'

I am not finished. When speaking look somewhere in this area,' Raman said, touching his forehead where the hairline began. Not in the eye, but here,' he repeated.

It's not that simple!' Ishita croaked, clutching her stomach. The anxiety came back just thinking of it.

Ishita, go home and practices your speech in front of mirror a few times, avoiding your own eyes. You'll get the drift. Also, make sure you get a few hours of sleep.'

Ishita's eyes shone wit hope. Do you really think it is going to work?'

Of course, and worse to come worse, when everything else fails just faint. I heard you are quite good at that,' Raman drawled, breaking in a sneer.

Wonderful! So you know about that, too?' Peeved, Ishita clucked her tongue. People around me, possess manhole-sized mouths, she fretted, Thanks for your help!' Ishita said, haltingly. Showing gratitude to your nemesis is not easy.

What time is your presentation?' Raman asked.

My group is second to go on. So, probably around eleven in the morning. Why?'

Just!' Raman replied, shrugging his shoulders. All the best, now go home and quit whining.' He got to his feet.

Because of his recent and unexpected kindness, Ishita meekly took the suggestion.

PRECAP- I'll take her home, she's my neighbour.' Raman offered, politely.

Crap! Why did he have to reveal that, Ishita fumed silently?
