A Short Story - Part Fourtyone

Another day, Veeran was on night shift.. and Kokila had slept.. but Sekhar was watching TV late night.. so Raghu swtiched off the TV and took the remote with him and locked it in his shelf in his room.. Sekhar began to cry aloud.. Kokila then woke up.. it was almost quarter to twelve.. Kokila was shocked to see Sekhar crying.. when she came to know what Raghu had done, she shouted at him yelled at him.. and, she fell on to his legs asking him to die.. she said to him, "I would be more happy to see your dead body than you troubling my son like this.."


At first, Raghu took everything in.. he was hopeful of some change in either Sekhar's or Kokila's behaviour.. he used to weep everytime before going to bed just thinking of Kokila's words.. he would then close his eyes and think of those happy moments with Akhy and sleep off... but this was at the height of his patience.. he was desperate to know what was happening with him at home.. so he waited till the next morning..
