[#7] The Performance
in a Random Tiny Tale titled End Of His World
The story begins with The Result:
“Hello Uncle?” said Preeti, in a quavering voice.
“Yes.. Who is this?”
“Uncle… your son, h-he….”
“Yes? What happened” Mr Tomar was utterly perplexed. What trouble had his good-for-nothing son gotten himself into?
“I’m pregnant uncle. He had deserted me. He has even switched off his phone, and I got to know that he’s planning to run away in 2 days. I..-We were together for 3 years. How can he leave me like this?”
“Don’t worry, I am leaving for Delhi immediately. We will stop him, and then I shall have a talk.”
“Okay Uncle. Meet me at Siri Fort Auditorium tomorrow at 5 pm; He will be meeting his friends there” Next to her, Shiv silently applauded Preeti’s performance.
Next day at the Auditorium
“Hello uncle!” Preeti said.
Mr Tomar, shocked at her age could only splutter as she led him inside the auditorium.
Inside, a hush descended. The packed auditorium welcomed his son with applause. His performance was of the gold standard. Mr Tomar couldn’t believe his eyes. He had never appreciated cinema, and so didn’t know about his son’s latent talent.
After his son’s performance, he could only go backstage and hug his son.
Things were well in the Tomar Family again.
