Day 4 – "Chhoti shuruaat, bada effect"
Subah ke 6:20 baj rahe the.
Aaj alarm bajne se pehle hi Sakshi uth gayi.
Usne kuch seconds ke liye ceiling ko dekha… phir yaad aaya—
"Aaj se change start karna hai."
Kal raat wali list uske dimag mein fresh thi.
"Bas aaj try karti hoon… perfect nahi, bas try."
Morning Discipline (First Attempt)
Sakshi ne phone uthaya… reflex se WhatsApp open karne wali thi…
Phir ruk gayi.
"Nahi. Pehle ready ho ja."
Usne phone side pe rakha.
Yeh chhota sa step tha… par uske liye kaafi bada.
Study Before School
Usually wo school se pehle kabhi nahi padhti thi.
Par aaj usne 30 minutes ke liye Maths ki book kholi.
Pehle 5 minutes toh bas pages dekhte nikal gaye.
"Focus kar Sakshi…" usne khud se bola.
Dheere dheere wo ek question solve karne lagi.
Phir doosra.
Phir teesra.
"Wait… mujhe samajh aa raha hai…"
Uske face pe halka sa confidence aaya.
School – Different Feeling
Aaj school aake usse thoda alag feel hua.
Same building, same log… par uska mindset thoda change tha.
Riya ne dekha,
"Aaj tu thodi normal lag rahi hai 😏"
"Main hamesha normal hi hoti hoon," Sakshi ne halka sa smile kiya.
Class Moment
Maths teacher ne ek question board pe diya.
"Kaun solve karega?"
Class chup.
Usually Sakshi bhi avoid karti thi.
Par aaj…
Usne dheere se haath uthaya.
Khud ko bhi shock laga.
"Ma'am… main try karun?"
Teacher ne smile kiya, "Come."
Sakshi board ke paas gayi.
Haath mein chalk… thoda nervous… par usne step by step solve karna start kiya.
1 step
2 step
3 step
"Correct," teacher ne bola.
Class mein halki si claps.
Sakshi wapas seat pe aayi.
Dil fast dhadak raha tha… par is baar dar se nahi—
Confidence se.
Break Time – Small Win
Riya ne usse hug jaisa push diya.
"Dekha?? Tu kar sakti hai!"
Sakshi hassi.
"Bas ek question tha…"
"Par tu ne try toh kiya."
Yeh baat uske dimaag mein stuck ho gayi—
"Try karna hi pehla win hai."
Unexpected Conversation
Aaj phir se Sakshi corridor mein thi.
Is baar Aman uske paas se guzar raha tha.
Aur bina soche Sakshi ne bol diya—
"Tumhara Maths kaisa gaya?"
Aman thoda surprise hua.
"Uh… theek nahi…"
"Same…" Sakshi ne halka sa smile kiya.
Dono thodi awkward silence mein khade rahe.
Phir Aman ne bola,
"Tumne aaj board pe solve kiya na… achha tha."
Sakshi thodi shocked.
"Tumne dekha?"
"Haan…"
Ek second ke liye dono smile kiye.
Phir dono apne apne raste chale gaye.
Par Sakshi ke face pe smile thodi der tak rahi.
Ghar wapas – Different Energy
Aaj ghar aake usne seedha phone nahi uthaya.
Usne bag rakha… aur 1 hour padhne baith gayi.
Beech beech mein distraction aaya… par usne control kiya.
"Bas 10 minute aur…"
Aur wo 10 minute 20 ban gaye.
Raat – Diary Entry
Aaj Sakshi diary ke saamne baithi… aur uske face pe halki si satisfaction thi.
Usne likha:
"Day 4:
Maine aaj perfect kuch nahi kiya…
Par maine try kiya.
Aur shayad… wahi enough hai start ke liye."
Phir usne ek aur line add ki:
"Aaj pehli baar laga ki main thodi better ho sakti hoon."
Last Thought
Sone se pehle usne socha—
"Kal bhi aisa hi kar paungi?"
Answer clear nahi tha.
Par aaj ke liye…
Usne khud se ek chhoti si jeet jeeti thi.
