An Unusual Punishment

“Naren, open the door.” “No,” came the loud answer. “I want to speak to you,” Bhuvaneshwari Devi’s voice had a firm ring to it. Naren took a deep breath and flung the door open. His mother walked into the room and before she could speak, he burst out, “I don’t want to hear anything about Kaka.”

“He is your uncle, Naren,” Bhuvaneshwari Devi sighed, “and since we all live together, you must learn to adjust to his wishes.”

Naren’s face flushed red with anger, “Ma, you and baba enjoyed the plays my friends and I put up in the worship hall but when Kaka smashed the stage, telling me he didn’t want me to perform at home, I let go of my drama group…but now he has gone too far—”

“Don’t talk like that,” his mother frowned.

Naren’s hands bunched into fists, “Why did he have to break the bench press and throw away my weights?”

“You know very well it was because Batul got hurt.”
