Second Chance

" Parth, stop running, please give back my phone, ' Lily shouting and running after him like Tom runs after Jerry.   " First you promise me, you'll let me play game for an hour on your phone, " Parth jumped up on a high-broad wall of his home and said.  " No, i won't." Lily said, " and please return it, you already played a lot. " she sulked and acted like crying.               Parth, a higher secondary boy, very mischievous and jolly in nature, next year he supposed to be a college student but he was still a baby by heart. The reason  was yet to come so soon...  " Smiley, come here darling, i will give you mine. I have a big chocolate too, " an old lady, holding a perk-sized chocolate came in the courtyard.     She was his grandma, loved him more than her spectacles and the stick which supported her in walking.  Parth, her only grandson used to call h

It was evening, everyone was sitting in the courtyard. "Lily, when are you going for the interview? " Grandpa asked her, cleaning his spectacle and putting back on his eyes, slidded little down on his nose. " Next monday may be. "she said, " Actually, i have applied in two companies. So, who will get back to my response, i will go there first for the interview." Parth was busy in playing game in Lily's phone. " Parth give me my phone back."she said, " I need to call mummy, where she is till now, not reached home. " Whenever her mother got late, she became worried for her. Parth returned her phone and went upstairs. He was relaxed today, no any worry of completing homework because tomorrow it was holiday and day after tomorrow, it was sunday.He was lazing around in his room and his balcony. His balcony was near the one of the room's balcony of the tall building. Anyone could easily come from that balcony to his balcony. Parth used to sit in the balcony in the night and look at the moo

Parth reached school at his usual time. He saw Eva was going ahead of him. "Eva..Eva.." he ran to her and patted on her shoulder.  " Hi..Parth.why are you gasping like hell? " she asked, " Did you see any ghost? "and bursted out laughing.  " I tell you one thing..please visit any Otolaryngologist. I'm calling you from the main gate but you're listening. So, i had to run to reach you." Parth said while gulping his deep breath.  " Wow! you brought basketball today. Is it yours? " Eva took the ball from him and said.  " No, it's not mine. It's our team's ball. " Parth replied, " yesterday, i was practicing little more so, i took it with myself. "   " Oh! so you guys are working hard. Right?"Eva looked at him and said, " I wish, your hard work pays you back. " They're so involved in talking that they didn't notice when they reached in thr classroom. Darsh walked to them, seemed very excited. He said, " You know a n

Early morning, Parth woke up, " Omg, it's 7 o'clock already. " he rushed in the washroom, took bath within ten minutes, wore uniform and came downstairs holding his bag.  " Good morning .. " he greeted everyone. " Why did no one wake me today. "he put his bag aside.  " Give me breakfast. I'm getting late mummy. " Parth turned his face towards and said little louder. Lily came out of the kitchen with his breakfast, " Why don't you wake by yourself? Are we alarm for you? " She stared at him angrily and put the plate on the table in front of him.  Grandma was busy in reading the newspaper. Parth looked around, " Oh?! Pa is not here. "he thought and got happy. He went near his grandma and whispered, " Grandma, it's really tough competition. I was thinking to practice more. "She understood what did he mean, " It's fine dear" she said while fixing her spectacles on her eyes which slided on her nose while reading the newspaper.  He took h

Isla came out in her car for the school. She saw Parth was not there waiting for her outside his house. She asked the driver to stop the car and got down. She went to Parth's house and knocked the door. Lily came to open the gate. She looked at her trying to figure out if she knew her. She said, " Whom do you want to meet? "" Hi!
