Chapter# 1- Their First Meet

“Untle… ROONDAAAA dedo“, requested 7 years old Guddu to the shopkeeper, with his childlike naiveté in his eyes and his sugary lisping voice, it was impossible for a shopkeeper to not fulfill his sweet wish that too for just Roonga.

" ROONGA was basically a term which was used for - free candy, a handful of salted puffed rice or Namkeen and similar eatable stuff for kids at the time of shopping specially in Western Uttar Pradesh and many neighbor states in India". 

Guddu almost bartered 1 kg of grains for his new fancy PENCIL SHARPENER, bartering grains for groceries and other inexpensive household goods was a common practice in villages of India during 90's, especially in North India, you'll get it if you are 90's kid and will completely relate to it if your childhood was spent in a village of north part of India.

Guddu was actually not concerned at all about his school stationary; he was too cool to be burdened beneath any such thought where education was involved. This 5 times costlier than the usual pencil sharpener was actually bought for a solid reason , Guddu had plans to sharpen the pencils of each student in his class with his brand new foreign toy so that he can show them that he has the coolest pencil sharpener in whole school and later can play with it as a TRUCK loaded with woods visible in upper glassed portion of his amazing transformer machine "Guddu was also a BUS and Truck Driver apart from superhero Shaktiman in his class, he used to rescue several hostages using his pencil box and his school bag in his class periods, everyday" but this kindness was to be showered upon those poor kids just for once by mighty Guddu, and probably upon boys only, as Guddu was not at all interested in girls, a Superhero, after all, cannot be distracted at any age, so the distance was legitimate.

"YE LE TERI FAVORITE NAMKEEN" said the shopkeeper and filled his bowl with a handful of namkeen, same big Tea bowl in which he stole the grains from home just to get his multi purpose Pencil Sharpener. Guddu was delighted to see his sharpener and favorite namkeen, robbery was successful!!!

Bursting with joy, on his way back home he was hardly keeping himself in place for he was carrying two of his favorite things in his hands, he wanted to play with his new machine as soon as he reaches home but it was savory flavored crunchy namkeen which was not letting him move before he tastes it, he was literally drooling over his ROONGA. So without leaving the shop counter he put his new sharpener in his navy blue shorts to have a taste of his namkeen and just before he was about to have it " UNCLE JI CHAI KI PATTI DEDO" a very sweet voice from some girl of his own age stopped him midway. Guddu turned back to see the distraction and saw her first time. Big brown beautiful eyes were ignoring poor Guddu who was accidentally gazing at her by completely against his own code of conducts. She was wearing navy blue trouser and white half sleeve shirt which was perfectly tucked in her ironed trouser with polished black shoes matching with her complete dress. A school dress never looked this compelling ever before. Her face as cute as a doll, fair complexion, red cheeks and a boyish haircut, last but not the least, she was taller than our barely 3 feet superhero.

“YE LO BETA" adorer shopkeeper uncle handed over a packet of Tea to an angel like little girl, She looked down and waited for a moment, waiting for shopkeeper himself offer her ROONGA. Busy dealing with other customers, the shopkeeper couldn’t give much attention towards the little girl, and after waiting for a moment she turns to walk back to her home. No Roonga for Angel !! While our little superhero was still standing and gazing with his half opened mouth was completely lost somewhere or in someone.... Seeing her heading back to home, Guddu struggles to get his senses back and calls her “AEEEEEE ", unaware and having no liaison with this lisp sound she continues to walks off.” AEEE LALKII TUJHE HI TAH LHA HU, LUKJAAAA" Guddu exclaimed. She turns around to find the owner of the Stutter voice of his own age and stops by seeing Guddu running towards her. "LEEE TU THA LE, ROONDAA " smiling and gasping Guddu sees her from this close and got mesmerized again. Guddu had no idea what he was doing and why??? He never shares even a bit of his namkeen ,not even with his younger sister, Gudiaa and here offering to someone he does not even know about, moreover, she comes from the community which Guddu had sworn to never indulge himself with.

Without thinking much she grabs the bowl from his hands to which the Superhero giggles a little, perhaps just born 3 feet tall Philanthropist was not thinking of handling the whole bowl of Namkeen to her but only half of it. “THA LE , HEHEHEHE SARA THA LE HEHEHE" he was blushing for the first time in his life. He checked his pocket to find something perhaps a whole bowl of namkeen was not enough to present to his first crush. He handed over his Pencil Sharpener to her.. Looking at fancy new Pencil Sharpener she smiles to which Guddu smiled idiotically......
