My father had left for the farm as usual to tend to the vegetables. I saw my grandparents getting to go too. Mother was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the kids. It was a Friday so I had to go to school as usual.
In school I was very quiet because I was still thinking of the incident the night before. My mind was confused. I just could not wait for the bell to ring. Friday was the best day of the week as I could go home at noon. I wanted to tell my close friends when I reached home. I was also excited. Would they believe me? How could I convince them? Would they help me?
When I reached home my mother had cleaned the house and was preparing lunch when I approached her. She sensed something but she kept quiet. I wanted to tell her about the encounter and the dream that I had but I realised that she would not believe me. She would only laugh at me and say that it was just my imagination.
At about lunchtime, mum had to send the lunch to the farm as my father and grandparents ate their lunch there. It was useless coming back just for lunch and go again as the distance was quite great.
I was asked to stay at home to take care of my younger sisters and brother. It was a duty I did not quite like. I preferred the company of my close buddies; Gunasegaran (Guna), Gopal Krishnan (Gopal), Thaiyalan (Thaila) and Ravinderen (Ravi).
