Lost and Found

Something that happened about 16/17 years back suddenly flashed today. So I thought to pen it down. I had a small fight with my brother. So I went to my mother for complaining. But instead of consoling me she scolded me and told, "papa aayenge to unse bolna, hum nahi jante tumlog ka ladai". I too annoyed went to my father(he was not at home). On my way I had to take a right turn. But 5 year old child brain could not remember the right way and instead turned left. Consequently I ended up reaching kutchery with no where to head. So I began to cry endlessly on road itself. It was that kind advocate who spotted me and asked me why I was crying. I just answered, "humko papa ke paas jana hai, humko papa ke paas jana hai". That childish brain didnt know even his father`s name or home address. So he took me to Raj Sounds. It was a shop that gave sound systems in marriage ceremony and all. They gave us lot of things to eat as a bribe to stop crying. But even after accepting all bribes I continued The owner took the responsibility and made announcements over the mic all over the town. Meanwhile It was discovered in home that I was missing. So search movement began. While looking for me on rickshaw my mother started crying. The rickshaw puller asked why she was crying. She narrated the whole situation. Then he informed that he had heard the announcement of a boy missing. He took me to Raj Sound and as a result now I am among you all. Had I been fallen in wrong hands ...... Its not worth describing.

    I just wanted to add moral of the story in last line but din thinking it would be a sort of lecture. :)

    @sumit-
    It was just a coincidence. Isme gaon aur sehar ka baat nahi hai. Bhaonaon ko samjho.
