The chair I sat on.
It’s
in 4iiiPCA I was in third year of the four year programme. As a freshly
experienced teacher I was back from my teaching practice and it’s the first day
to the college after the TP. Me and my friend Haki went to our classroom and
selected the chair. We were the firstperson in the class. She selected a
freshly painted yellow chair where as I haven’t looked at the chair instead
took one from the corner and sat on it. After several minutes all of my friends
entered the classroom everyone was searching for a comfortable and ease chair.
I was shocked why am I not going for comforts? Why have I chosen this without
any notice? Then I stared at the chair which I was sitting on. The chair was
similar with the ones that my friends took.
I
wondered why my friends were quarrelling for a single simple chair. I stood up
and looked around. More than half of my friends didn’t get the chair. I said
one can have mines. Someone took it from me. Quickly I went to Dzongkha B.Ed
and asked for one chair from their class placed in my previous sit and sat on
the chair.
The
chair seems like my fan I have seen my friends writing their names on the chair
then I too started autographing on the chair and felt as if like a
celebrity giving autograph to her/his fans. It was freshly painted with
yellowish color. But I have made a mess on that beautifully painted chair.
Never did it happen to lose its patience in holding me. It served its service
for whole autumn semester being a great fan of mines. Sometimes have to take
over the loaded baggy which I used to hang from its back stand. Sometimes I
used to lean without mercy on its back stand. Sometimes I used to sit on its
back stand with my foot on the flat usually where we sit. Sometimes out of
guilt I used to clean the top flat with my handkerchief, sometimes with firm
papers and tissue papers. It did a marvelous job without minding to hold the
heaviest sitter too. It comforted its pleasure to make me happy for four months
bearing with my silly acts and nonsense sense. It’s only the consoler to drip
down my stress I used to bang and drag it hard but never did it yelled somehow
it creeps little when its over the limit.
It
really had done a tiring job for me but never did I get chance to pay back my
gratitude rather all I can see nowadays on this chair is my autograph which I
have imitated it from my dear friends and autographed on its back…just a simple
memory unless a freshly paint would cover up its mess which I had made.
Nice thought. Enjoyed reading all your post.
