Prologue

The stare was unbearable. For every second he kept wondering, “What could it be that she is so serious about?” When it reached its threshold he muttered, “Tell me whatever it is that you want to share and stop staring at me like you are seeing me for the first time. I mean, for Goodness’ sake, just say something than trying to fill the air with frustration.”

It was only then that he saw her lips were trembling.

Friends n Foes

I have a question to ask you guys. What can happen if you let one of your friends to intervene in your problems? Don’t get confused. The immediate answer is the problem can easily be solved. But hear about one of my friend’s incidents.


Let us call him ‘Anu’. He is friend of mine for the past 3 years. He was having some problems with his neighbor about their land. His neighbor had been trying to occupy a portion of his property. He used to resist this and one day he had a row with his neighbor. The neighbor is about 45 years old and my friend is 23. They engaged in a little fist fight and the neighbor got hurt, but just a little.


This neighbor is having two sons. Since they are almost of the same age as my friend they obviously got angry on him and decided to beat him up. Knowing about their intention, my friend went to another friend’s home and spent the night there. This other friend is of a cut and right type. Anu asked him for help. He wanted the other to go with him for a compromise talk. The other friend called some of his friends and they all went to Anu’s neighbor’s place.


They were welcomed and made to sit as some of them were mutual friends with Anu and his neighbor. They talked for some time. The compromise convoy asked the neighbor to go easy on Anu. They told him as Anu is a small boy and a very good lad he should be spared of the revenge being planned by the rival boys.


Since it was them who went for the compromise they had to keep silent for some time when the neighbor started talking. He spoke like he was the supreme power when it came to the issue. And after some time the main man in the compromise convoy lost his control and out of the temper he slapped the neighbor on both cheeks and asked him to keep mum. The neighbor was shocked and he agreed to their terms.


What a nice ending, isn’t it? But the story doesn’t end there. The very next day the police came to Anu’s home. A complaint was registered in the police station, with Anu as the prime suspect. The case? Well, it was given that they broke into the neighbor’s house and assaulted him and his family.


Now, this is ENDING!!!!
