A Short Story - Part Fourtyfive

It was later in the afternoon that Raghu, having completed most of his days work, decided to go and have lunch at a canteen at Prapancham. He went, had lunch and was returning. Sekhar's school was on the way to home from the canteen.. It was almost three pm then and school children were coming out after the days school.. he could see two kids fighting.. they were being watched by fellow kids.. he went across the road and he saw Sekhar and another boy were engaged in a duel.. the other boy was severly injured and bleeding.. but it did not stop Sekhar from hitting him and punching him..


Raghu immidiately tried to stop Sekhar and take him away..Sekhar was not stopping and he hit Raghu too.. Raghu then stopped and slapped him.. one slap and Sekhar was done.. he stopped hitting and started to weep... then came the teachers running outside.. while Sekhar was taken by the teachers back to school, Raghu and another staff rushed the other boy engaged in the duel to the hospital.. he had suffered broken teeth and some external injuries.. he was given first aid and later taken back to home..
