It was Inji kuttan’s first ride back home from school in his
school van. Kanthari was excited. She quickly took a bath, got dressed in her
best outfit and waited half an hour before the expected time. She dreamt of her
son’s face. How excited he would be to see her! While she was lost in her
thoughts the school van appeared at her front gate. She ran towards the gate
with so much happiness and what did she see? For a moment, Inji’s face
brightened up with surprise to see his mother out of nowhere. The next moment
reality struck him, it was his turn to get down and say goodbye to his friends.
His mother was there to pick him up and take him away from his friends. As Kanthari
tried to take little Inji in her arms, he pulled back with all his strength and
started wailing. The van driver, the school Aaya and the remaining kids in the
van looked at us surprised and shocked.
There are kids who cry to go to school and then there are
kids like Injikuttan who cries to come back home!
