Call disconnectedA Story by Ankita ChakraIt is about changing times and changing relationships“But it’s your dream job,” said my grandma “Don’t miss the interview. I will manage” “No, I won’t leave his side until he is well and moving”, said my grandpa on seeing his son down with fever. 30 years later, “Brother please come to see father or at least send some money”, said my aunt “We need to admit him.” “Can’t you keep him on painkillers for just two months? My daughter’s board exams are approaching. I will be there after that.” “But her exams are in 21 days. And you are in the same city. He needs an immediate surgery or the doctors say he won’t be able to walk ever again.” He said, “Try to understand, I don’t want any sort of disturbance for her. I am sure you all will manage.” Call disconnected. © 2016 Ankita Chakra |
