Short Story: Around the Corner - 3

     Sun rose in the next day morning, having great beauty and splendor awakened the living creatures of the earth. Arjun wore his ironed white silken shirt with regular white half pants and was getting ready to school. Mondays, he wears this uniform without fail due to the strict school management, as they watch them eyes wide open in bringing up the child with pakka discipline. He twisted his hip so that school belt revolves properly and sets in all loops. Finally he escaped from his mother by leaving half idli and some sambhar in his plate near the dining table.       Arjun is glad with two reasons. First thing is Ani, his old friend's admission and the next thing is the cricket match with other schools to be held sooner. He did sincere prayers to god that the match should not be conducted in SVJ School, as the master chants continuous slogans which made him irritated during his last visit to that school.

      Anita and Arjun starts their conversation..            " Hey Ani, shall we play some games ?" Arjun asked. "Why not?" she replied as a sign of acceptance. "Here comes your most favourite game - Snake and Ladder!". Astonishingly Anita said a "WOW" and was glad that Arjun remembered her game. "I love this game, as it taught me a take it easy approach."

But since it is the happiness that flew after seeing his friend, made him to open the small game.             " Ok, let me start rolling the dice" Anita said after arranging the coins for counters.

Someone rung the calling bell 'ting tong ting tong'. "Arjun, Open the door !!" His mother shouted loud so that he could hear her soft voice from the kitchen. "Oh no! I just sat down after my bath" Arjun replied. " Mom is really busy with washing vessels, can't you do this favour for me?". After mother's reply, he stood up from the bean bag lazily and with no mood to know who had  rung the bell, he walked lazily towards the door.       To his surprise, it was Anita, his old school friend. "Arjun do you remember me?" the cute girl who was standing with her parents asked Arjun. "Ani, What a surprise?"

Practice makes a man perfect ! A renowned proverb which we have heard almost around decades. Another one arrived just.

Can we participate in a competition where we had already lost and win again?  Why to add all these questions when people can't even control their emotions of heart and mind?
