Mr. No Buddy
Guneet Sura
'Once upon a time... there was a boy living in Higley Village. He was an orphan. He had no one to take care of him. When he was 11 year old, he got his facilities by a teacher who promised him to take care for him for his life. But the teacher was too busy. He had to prepare for an annual function held in the school.
Being very creative and hard working person, the teacher was selected as an activity coordinator. This time the teacher became busier and he did not have time for the boy.
5 years passed... he was 16. But he was still immature and girlish. People teased him. He had no friends. So they called him "Mr. No Buddy". He was unhappy with his life but he did not mind anyone. His academic reports were poor. He failed every time in his tests.
This created a serious problem in the school. None of the teachers wanted to promote him by grace marks. They wanted to expel him from the school. But his teacher requested to give him a last chance.
In the home, the teacher was thinking about how could he improve him. He did not have any idea. He kept thinking for the night but found no solution. This seems a very complicated situation. He had to face this but he cannot let 'No Buddy' down.
Two days later... his daughter returned from Alaska. She had to perform a play over there and live for some years for her further studies, and she got first price in drama. She was standing near the door and rang the doorbell. 'No Buddy' opened the door. She looked at him and said "Where is my dad? Who are you? What are you doing here?"
No Buddy said in a childish voice, "I am No Buddy, I was brought here when I was 11. Your father took care of me for these many years." Her daughter said, "Are you an orphan?" He said in a sad face, "Yes. But I don't know anything about my parents, their looks, or their name." He started crying. The teacher's daughter thought that it is a joke and said, "Whoever you are - Nobody, or anybody, please leave my house." No Buddy immediately took his luggage and went out.
He stood next to the door until the teacher returned (approximately 5 hours). When the teacher arrived, he said "What are you doing here? The weather is cold, you may get sick." No Buddy said "Your daughter came into the house and told me to leave. So I was waiting for you to arrive and explain her."
The teacher said "Didn't you tell her?" No Buddy said "I said but I don't think she believed me. You have to talk to her." The teacher entered the house and sat with his daughter. No Buddy also entered with him.
His daughter said "Hey! I told you to leave! Why are you here?!" Then her father made her shut and sat with her. Then he explained her everything. No Buddy got confused and he didn't know what was happening. He interrupted "Coffee?" His daughter smiled and said "Sure!".
At night, before No Buddy was about to fall asleep, the teacher's daughter (Name: Ella) sat next to me and said "I am sorry for whatever happened in the evening. Please don't feel sad, my dad told me everything." No Buddy was still confused and then he said "Didn't you already know to make coffee?" Ella smirked and said "Well, I know. But I wasn't talking about that."
No Buddy felt really sleepy, he said "Never mind, goodnight!" and fell asleep. Ella got shocked to see that after five minutes No Buddy started snoring. That was little weird.
7 months passed, exams started, and after 10 days, they ended. No Buddy said that he could solve half of the paper. Some days later... the paper results were delivered in the home. No Buddy failed once again. He felt depressed and his friends started teasing him again.
After realizing his personality, he came to know that he was childish, girly, easily distracted and couldn't be handled for any situations. He tried to behave properly, but he didn't know. So he took the help of the teacher. The teacher sat for the night and taught him everything.
After a big lecture on moral values, he came close to humanity. His teacher said "There is only one hope from you, you can change the world if you work hard, or rise up. Please don't bring me down." No Buddy then started deciding his name. It took some time, but he found one, and that was - Alexavier. His teacher was proud that at least he has the intelligence for choosing.
His name was changed. Now his name is Alexavier (That means - defender or helper of mankind.) He grew even old, and started his jobs. He was weak in academics so he couldn't find any great job. But there was no doubt that he was brave! Even though no one knew about his bravery, one chief commissioner of the Military came to know.
His reports were sent to the government and they offered him for the job. He was happy.
He is now a police officer in U.S.A today! He liked the job. Protecting was his career (as his name). His name was popular among all the officers. He did the job very well. Everyone were proud of him.
He then got married and had two children who could do better than him. He was a proud father. He then died at the age of 91. But this was his last hope: My children don't know how I spent my life in the childhood, but they are successful today! I am a proud father and I hope, they rise up and change the world
