A solemn moment for all of us

It's a solemn moment for all of us here.

Cos one of our classmates, K , had severe mental problems and depression and is now in hospital.

It all happened so quickly and so suddenly. Somebody reported that she was feeling sick throughout last evening and night. This morning, she's crying, she can't recognise faces, and she doesn't respond when people call her. So, she was taken to hospital.

We went to the hospital(some 7 kms from here) in the evening. One look at us guys, and she buried her face under the pillow. We all know that she isn't asleep, but for some strange reason, she keeps her eyes closed.
And suddenly she starts crying.

It's a sad state that she's in. All this for a girl who was as chirpy and bright yesterday. She was her usual self yesterday, asked questions to the cop who came top lecture us. She also spoke to me about the smart way in which the cop had answered questions when we had visited a month ago.

All this for a girl who was wearing a really pretty dress the day before yesterday. We had a small farewell-cum-birthday party that evening for TF, a teacher of ours who is leaving us in a week. K wore a great dress that day and was looking pretty, she helped our maam in distributing the cake and it was she who took all pains in buying a birthday gift and card for her.

All this for a girl who was really sweet to everyone of us. It reminds me of the line - Enge sellum intha padhai yaro yaro ariway...

It's a solemn moment for all of us here.
