Mrs. Hemans was immensely distraught for a couple of weeks having
espied greatly irregularities in the drudgery of her personal driver, Arora.
Immediately after his appointment, he has been accustomed to make complaints
after complaints against her daughter, Kith. Kith is a teenage girl who is a
student of Class VII in a British convent, 3 Kilometers away from her residence
Kolarua City. Every time, Kith asks the driver to go beside the Lake where
innumerable sea-gulls are there which fascinate such little girl to gaze at
hours after hours for which Kith’s arrival occur delayed immeasurably every
time to reach her home. Hemans has observed the activities of Arora since his
joining. Arora, before joining, he was an unmixed schoolboy and after his
father’s impulsive death, he was at a loss what to do. Finding no other
alternative, he took this job to earn his livelihood.
Mrs. Hemans had a school in the city where she had to
attend her office from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 PM. Arora’s duty was entrusted with
Hemans as well as her daughter. Arora was not free from his childish behavior
and as such he was liked by Kith by his unusual courage and hardihood. He took
Kith every day beside the lake after her school hours and spent hours after
hours by discussing about the sea gulls and the nature. At this, Mrs Hemans
would not satisfy with him and always asked him not to comply with Kith. Kith
is a very bright student and has impressed every students and teachers by her
helping attitude towards her class-mates and is found very attentive towards
studies. One day, Kith asked Arora to go to Maharaja, an ancient city, 5 kilometers
apart from her residence. They went there and enjoyed natural scenes. They had
to spend there for about 12 hours and they returned home at 9:00 PM. Having
seen such irregularities, she flew into a rage and asked Arora the reason of
such delay. Arara said everything about Kith and her arrival at Marajo. Mrs.
Hemans said nothing and stopped from attending school for a couple of days. She
observed the movement of Kith and Arora and found out one thing that there was
a close relationship between them. It was though a fabricated thought that had
stirred her mind extensively. Like every day, Arora does his duties punctually
and in the midst of his duty, Mrs Hemans asked him not to do his duty further.
Arora tried to explain the situation, but Mrs Hemans did not allow him to do
so. She roared with anger and said, “Stop that at once immediately’’.
Afterwards, when Kith found no driver to attend her school, she asked her Mum about
her going to school. Mrs. Hemans did not reply anything. Kith understood the
situation and told everything about her going to the side of the Lake. She said
in reply that loving in nature is her uncommon habit and she believes in
liberty and punctuality of the students. To see the movement of the sea-gulls
is her habit and she gets unbounded gaiety and pleasure having discovered the
source of pleasure in them.
Mrs.
Hemans went there in one occasion and became pleased at this and sent for the
driver Arora to join his post. Arora did not join further. Mrs. Hemans did not
allow anybody to work as a driver. She himself does it. Now she is self
sufficient in controlling her and her office. But she always remains tormented
with mental thoughts that she had committed a great sin by dismissing Arora
from his post. This was her unpleasant memory that she never forgets from the
pages of her life.
She always murmurs a few lines of the poem composed
by Robert Bridge
“Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking”
