But sorry, because this blog won't be a happy one.
So, until 2 years back, I used to provide tuition at home. I have been tutoring fpr about 5 years and there was this one student, whom I had taught for about 4 years.
Later her younger brother had joined too.
So, when 2 years back, because of CMI, when I stopped teaching, I still thought that at least these 2 students would always be a part of my life. Of course, our contact broke over the 2 years; no, not because of any fight or argument, but we just drifted apart.
Then, we reconnected during my sister's wedding in April, this year and they told me they wanted me to teach them again. I asked them to wait for a few months till my exams got over.
And I haven't started teaching again yet, but I at least thought they would send a Teachers' Day wish today.
I got none.
I thought maybe because now she's in standard 8, she finds such trivial things cliché.
Then I saw her story, where she was celebrating Teachers' Day with her new tuition teacher.
I understand, she's the teacher now. So, I have nothing against her celebration. I just missed her message.
It made me wonder if I am that easily replacable.
Even if I am, I thought we had formed a bond beyond just a formal teacher-student relationship.
It made me question the loyalty of everyone around me.
If someone, I have poured my heart out to, could so easily forget me, how will anyone ever choose me?
Will I forever be without love? Without loyalty? Without being someone's first choice? Someone's priority?
Will my at peace come before my in peace?🕊️
