NEW SHOSE AND SMILE

I felt very peaceful seeing the old security guard with new shoes. Perhaps it was his blessings that I had got Rihana.

He pointed towards his shoes and said, “Look beta, I have bought these shoes from the money you gave me. How do they look?”

“They are very nice, uncle. You look like a hero.” I smiled.

“Am I really looking like a hero?”

“Yes. These shoes look very good on you.”

“My wife has sent these laddoos for you. Have these.” He said, as he opened his tiffin box. There were 4 laddoos in the tiffin box. These were my favorite laddoos. I picked one. It was very tasty. I wanted to have one more.

“Can I have one more?” I asked him.

“All these are for you only. She has made these with her own hands.” He smiled...

I was extremely happy. I had not seen my parents since childhood. And today someone had sent laddoos for me. It was a big thing for me. I ate all of them.

“Tell aunty that the laddoos were very tasty. If she makes them again, please bring more for me.”
