Panel 1
Raka dreaded Tuesdays. Algebra was her nemesis, a monstrous equation she couldn't solve.
Panel 2
"I'm just not good at this," she mumbled, staring at the textbook. The numbers swam before her eyes, mocking her efforts.
Panel 3
At school, Mrs. Sharma, her math teacher, noticed Raka's distress. "Raka, you seem troubled. Is everything alright?"
Panel 4
"It's just...algebra," Raka confessed, tears welling up in her eyes. "I feel so lost."
Panel 5
Mrs. Sharma smiled gently. "Everyone struggles, Raka. What if we try a different approach?"
Panel 6
Later that evening, Raka saw Chacha Chowdhury sitting on his usual bench. He always seemed to know things.
Panel 7
"Chacha Chowdhury, do you ever feel like you're just...failing?" Raka asked, her voice barely a whisper. He chuckled, his eyes twinkling.
Panel 8
"Failing, beta? Failing is just finding out what doesn't work. The real failure is not trying at all."
Panel 9
He pointed towards a street vendor expertly juggling fruit. "See him? He dropped many before mastering his skill."
Panel 10
Inspired, Raka spent the next few days working with Mrs. Sharma and her friends. Something clicked.
Panel 11
On the next test, Raka didn't get a perfect score, but she passed. More importantly, she understood the material.
Panel 12
That evening, Raka found Chacha Chowdhury again. "I passed, Chacha! I actually understood it!"
Panel 13
"See, beta? You just needed to find your own way. The hero was inside you all along."
