Chapter 1
A boy yawning loudly shifted to his right side. He jumps and hits his head hearing the alarm clock ring close to his ear. Rubbing his head, he glares at the tiny girl laughing at him seeing him rub his head as she stops the ringing of the alarm clock.
Bo: wait, watch what will I do to you now.
Gi:CHACHI
And the girl ran her arms flailing with the boy running behind her. they reach the kitchen where two ladies turn with a twinkle in their eyes used to this daily drama. The girl comes and hides behind them. the boy said "mama, don't hide her. today, she will have to face the consequences."
Mama: rolu, why are you troubling my poor pari?
Bo: poor. She? Mama, she put the alarm clock so near my ear that I jumped hearing it and hit my head.
Girl's mother: pari? Is he saying the truth?
The girl quietly nodded her head. She said "but mama, I did it for his benefit only. I thought that if he kept on sleeping like a kumbhakaran then we will be late for our picnic."
Bo: you called me a kumbhakaran. You, you are kumbhakaran. Yesterday, you were sleeping so deep that drool came out of your mouth.
Gi: did not.
Bo: did too. And I have the picture also to prove it. and I will show it in your school
Gi: no, you will not.
And the both were back in the catching game with she running behind him as the ladies laughed looking at their children's antics.
Lady1: what should we do with them sushma?
Lady2: nothing, they will sought it out among themselves. See, after half an hour they will be coming arm in arm helping each other and torturing us with their pranks.
Lady1: I always pray that their innocence will always be preserved.
Lady2: I always pray that god should protect them against all troubles.
And both the ladies went back to work, smiling when their children's noises come to them.
After 7 hrs,
Both of them are huddled together as they watch their whole world crumble. Pari is motionless just staring into the space while rolu is making sure that they don't find them. rolu said "pari, pari." Pari looks at him her eyes devoid of anything. He cups her face in his hands and said "I am going to see whether the coast is clear okay." Pari still does'nt say anything. Rolu comes out of their hiding place and checks whether the coast is clear. He walks a little ahead when he hears a sound which he now knows very well. He turns around to see a man grinning at him as he said "found you." A gunshot is heard seconds later.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.đ
