Ch. 9: Illusion ends part I
Sachin and his father looked back and there was Sachin's uncle. Sachin has never liked his company. But he thought this might change today. With excitement in his mind, Sachin got up.
โOh what a pleasant surprise, come on inโ, said Sachinโs father welcoming the guest. โMeena, see whoโs here.โ
โHello Mama. By the way, why did you ask me to thank you? Donโt tell me itโs you who subscribed the course for me.โ, asked Sachin. His voice failed to conceal his excitement.
โ Yeah you guessed it right, my sonโ, said his Mama in a, rather self-gratifying way.
โReallyโ, said Sachin as he hugged his Mama. Meanwhile, his mother makes way into the hall. Happily surprised at the unexpected spectacle, she exclaimed, โOh uncle- nephew seems to share an intimate moment.โ โSachin save some love the future, let your uncle meet with usโ
โOh dear sister, donโt be jealous with your son. Anyways, itโs especially for him that I have come today. โ
โWhatโs that? And also whatโs the subscription Sachin is talking about? And is it because of the subscription that Sachin is so elated todayโ, asked Sachin's father.
โ Yes papa, you are right. Itโs the subscription to my course, that I was planning for a long time. But alas itโs uncle who did itโ, said Sachin.
โYeah I did it, thinking of your future. But given what I know of you, I didn't expect you to be so elated by it. โ, said the uncle.
โ We were surprised by Sachinโs response as well. By the way, how did you know that Sachin planned for it, brother. โ, asked Sachinโs mother.
โ Well, thatโs the fashion today. Or shall I say the only productive route. And in this case, my son Veenu has also enrolled into it. Now they had an offer if two students enrolled. Since, Sachinโs completing his exams and he's having a long vacation, I got him enrolled as well. โ, explained his uncle.
โ Whatโs the course? โ, asked Sachinโs father.
โ Painting โ said Sachin At the same time, his uncle responded, โ JEE coachingโ On hearing each other, both look at each other with puzzled look. Intervening the silence, Sachin's mother asked, โWhich course it is? โ. โ Did you get him a painting course? โ, asked his father.
