story-broken bangles

BROKEN BANGLES

Water drops stayed on the edges of the green-grass, ready for the journey. The red sun came out by breaking the lazy cold. The grasshopper didn't come out of his dreams..A naughty crow disturbed the silent.

The man woke up..''oh!wake up?!''his wife murmured from the kitchen. The 'taste' of the sleep made him lazy. He took his toothbrush.

''Amma..''a strange voise. The man looked outside..A small boy. His body enunciated hunger. There was a deep sadness in his eyes...

''Oh,what is this?I can't understand anything..''The man's wife said.

The man took some Iddlies and put them in the boy's plate. The boy looked at him.

''Eat..'', the man said.

The boy finished the food within seconds.

''Enough..?''.The man asked him.

''Yes'', he smiled.

''What's your name?''

''Kannan''-he said.

The boy ran outside of courtyard. The man wondered.

''Where did the boy go?''He returned to the house.

''Sir,please come..''

''Eh?that boy?!''

The man went near him. The boy gave him a box. Anxious moment..the man opened it.

'Wow...a lot of broken bangles..It was twinkling like pearls...'

''Sir,it's for you..it is my collection..I kept it in my bag..Oh no,Not in my bag ..that bag..I got it from the roadside.''

The boy said to the man a lot..The man heard it,with smiling face..At last he told..

''Sir, bye..mummy is waiting for me.''He ran.

The man looked at the broken bangles...

''Oh,I can't understand anything..are you mad?,to feed the orphan boys..''His wife said.

''He is not orphan,he has mother.''

''Oh,I don't know anything,Lord..!He is the boy who stolen your new footwear yesterday.''

''Eh?''The man wondered..

His eyes became red...He ran to the road...The boy was playing with a baby..

''You...''The man shouted. He beat him.

''Oh sir,don't beat me..please....''

''You thief..''

The boy cried aloud. The man returned home angrily. He threw the box of bangles....'Dhap..'

''Eh?What is it?”'

There was a pair of foot-wears hidden between the bangles and also a letter..

''Sorry sir..''

Tears dropped on the paper..ink mixed with tears...The paper became gloomy;his mind also...
