Two
neighbours Sitha and Devaki both in their middle ages were going back to their
homes after the usual morning temple visit. They were discussing all news
relating their locality.
A
young girl was walking hurriedly opposite to them, but she found time to stop
and wish the older ladies with a big smile and then went on her way. Obviously
she became the topic of talk then to the older ones.
Devaki
started “Who can help these girls? Look at her! It will be a surprise if nobody
hurt her”
Sitha
joined the talk with much enthusiasm “You are right! In these attire she won’t
be spared”
The
young lady who passed the ladies was their neighbour. She wore a jeans and
shirt. And she was going to her work place. These elders found her clothing
today as undesirable as usual.
Sitha
continued “Why can’t she wear decent dresses? These are inviting problems”
Devaki
said “Who to blame, it is like this nowadays, there is no value for decency and
manners. These girls bring police to houses. Even police can’t help them. Nobody
can help them”
Then
suddenly their talk halted in halfway by a motor bike rumbling, the speedster
came so close to them, the driver made some dancing movements with the single
front tyre balance and waved at them with both hands and then the vehicle
rustled past them. It was Devaki’s second son. And both the ladies were happy
to see him.
Devaki
happily said “Where is he going in the morning? That was my son, you got that
Sitha? He is such a good rider; he drives better than his father”
Sitha
said “Boys should know all these. He is driving great even though he is still
very young. That is good for you, huh? You can go with him anywhere, no need to
wait for your husband’s free time”
Devaki
replied “Of course! He takes seconds to go anywhere; he is such a good driver”
The
thirteen year old boy with a new model bike without a helmet at 90 km speed in
the village curvy guttered road is of course a good driver. No need of more
proof.
In
the evening police came to both the houses: the Girl’s as well as Devaki’s.
The
Girl rescued a young kid from a group of molesters near her work place. A Minister
came to her house to congratulate her; the police came with Minister’s escort.
Police
came to Devaki’s house related an accident case. Devaki’s son met with an
accident and he succumbed to that. Even the best doctor in the city couldn’t
help him.
