Hello friends,
This is my second work.Im planning to post a story every day.This is my second work on my second day in " Literature Network Forums".Please Review it and send me the feedbacks.
A VICTORY
It was 5:45 A.M IST,Ravi woke up and got out of that bed. That bed room was already getting brighter with the sun rays reaching the windows in that great coastal-south Indian summer. He thought of waking up his wife aruna,But the remembered that she slept only by 2 A.M because of a head ache. So dropped that idea and he started towards the drawing room.
The drawing room was lit with a small 8-watt lamp with all the windows closed. He switched off the lamp and opened all the doors. Then he turned towards his left and started moving towards a room which had the posture of Micheal Phelps in door. He opened the door and switched of the Air-conditioner. He collected those littered pieces of paper on floor and sent them to the trash.
“Wake up Nirmal, It's already 6”
“good morning dad,Just a minute” Nirmal replied promptly,which made Ravi feel happy. He was proud that Nirmal knew his responsibility's.
“Quick Nirmal,go get ready soon,i will prepare the car ..it needs some attention” said Ravi.
Nirmal is a 10-year old boy and the only child of that family. He is unique in his own ways. His interests are always contrasting. He loved to listen to “THAYAGARAJA BHAGAVATHAR”,which most boys/girls of his age don't do.
Every morning he won't start his work before listening to “KRISHNA,MUKUNDA,MURARAY” A popular track sung by “THAYAGARAJA BHAGAVATHAR”.
He did the same on that day,Once he got out of his room,He switched on the music system and started playing his favorite track. He gets very much involved in that track that,He tends to forget the things around him. In that process,He increased the volume to maximum without realizing that,He is disturbing others in the early morning.
Aruna was woken up by “THAYAGARAJA BHAGAVATHAR” music and she slowly came out of her room. By that time,Ravi had returned to the drawing hall from the garage.
“Good morning Aruna!!! how do you feel now??” questioned Ravi.
“It's better now Ravi. why is that you have woken up so early today.??Today is a Sunday man!!! Any appointments..??”
“yes , Sweet heart. I have got an appointment with my son today” said Ravi.
“With Nirmal??..what??what's that appointment??” questioned aruna curiously.
“Well!! we two are going to the provincial stadium to train” said Ravi proudly.
“To Train?? Whom??”Asked aruna.
“Of course,Not me,I'm just accompanying your son. He is gonna train and I'm gonna watch”
“what training?” asked aruna.
“Hey come on sweet heart..Don't you know.?Nirmal is the best athlete in his school,And I am gonna make sure that,He is getting all the proper training to horn his skills” said Ravi..
“Are you crazy??He is just a 10-year old boy and it's high time that we groom him to become a good student instead of an athlete” Said aruna.
“So what??He can be both”said ravi.
“I don't think so,Go and check the profiles of our athletes and see if they are good students???certainly
not.”Shouted Aruna.
“Do you know when my nephew kumar started preparing for IIT ‡ entrance??”Asked Aruna.
Ravi remained clueless and Nirmal was busy brushing.
“He started preparing when he was 10 and I am sure that he scores good marks in the next months IIT entrance test” said aruna.
“He is different baby,and our child is unique,Not like Arun or Varun. He is a born athlete. I spoke to his school coach and he was surprised by his energy and stamina levels” said Ravi.
“what ever you tell,I'm not gonna let you to ruin the life of my child,I know what to do to my son” said an emotional aruna.
Ravi sensing the change in mood,Changed tracks.
“Al rite!!..I have got a surprise for you sweet heart...” said ravi in a confident tone.
He went to his bed room and brought a piece of paper and handed it over to his wife.
“Read it” he ordered her.
Nirmal was now packing his practice kits.
Aruna stared at that piece of paper for some time and started reading it.
Her face suddenly changed. She looked happy and ravi felt a sense of moral victory over his wife.
“How you made it possible honey...??” en-quired Aruna.
“Well! Your son's athletic records made it possible”said Ravi.
“Is he that much talented to get a sports quota to enter a sports school which has a “Mo U”‡ with IIT-Delhi? “ asked aruna .
“I hope so” replied ravi..
“I'm ready dad. Shall we start?” asked Nirmal.
“Yep, Let's go” said ravi.
“By Momma..”signed off Nirmal.
‡-IIT stands for Indian Institute of Technology,A premium Engineering School In India.
‡-Mo U stands for “memorandum of understanding”.Actually there is no Mo U Between IIT-Delhi and any sports school in India. Ravi just lied to his wife to convince her.
