Perks of being a single child-A short story

It was a Tuesday evening. Roshan was heading back to his home from tution. He was
hesitant to go home.He made his small steps back home with much reluctance.
He got his mid-term marks from school.His marks were low.He was not afraid for
getting scolding for his low marks.It was something else.The situation was not
the same a year back. Roshan was a bright student in his class.In fact,he used
to top the class in some subjects.But,everything changed topsy-turvy after some
incidents that happened back last year.

One year ago....

Roshan lived with his family in the small town of Telangana. His father worked in
News channel as a reporter.His mother was a home maker.Their wealth was less,
but happiness was more.His father is a tough man with a rugged voice.Only his
voice is rugged not his heart.He used to take utmost care of his family.
His mother was a calm and composed woman.Her only happiness is making rotis
and chai for her husband and pampering her son.She used to serve roshan with
different kinds of snacks when he returned from school.As we
saw earlier,Roshan used to study very well at that time.It was election time.
His father was reporting the campaign news of various parties.He was a very
reputed reporter of the city.Knowing this in some way,a political party approached
him for promoting his political party without the consent of the channel.They
bribed him with some lump amount. Roshan's father,hesitated at the beginning,later considering his family situation,he accepted the offer.His mother and roshan advised him a lot not to accept their offer.But he didn't listen to them.
He campaigned all over the city favouring that party.The elections got over
and the party favoured by his father won the elections with a remarkable difference
in number of votes.Unfortunately,the news channel came to know about this and they
fired him as the thing his father did was against their norms.
This created much chaos in their family.The channel which praised him as the best reporter,started cursing him.This made them flee from their city.
His parents started to fight daily.As his father was the only bread-maker of their family,their family suffered a lot.His mother started going for work to make out for their family.This created a inferiority
complex in his father and the fight between them started to grow.This disturbed Roshan a lot.He started feeling lonely,as his mother failed to take care of him amidst these chaos.

Months Passed.

Today....
After much thinking,Roshan took the big decision of his life.

To be continued....

What decision did Roshan Take?
How will it affect their family?
Will his decision help their family get back to normal or it will worsen it?
What do you infer from this story?

See you soon,next week:)
Until then,keep guessing in the comments section.
Cheers,
Baru:)

BYE BYE 2020

Hey guys, Today I am going to open up about something that was stuck in my mind for quite a long time. So, wanna pour it out before it's too late:)) 2020 is about to end. We are in the last few days of 2020 and it is not just like any other year in our life. For some people,it was happy as they got a break from their mundane life. And for some other it was not so good as they expected it to be at the beginning of the year ( smiling in pain ) due to Covid. But, 2020 definitely taught us a lot of lessons in this lockdown. We are not the same person as we were at the start of the year.  So, before getting excited for the New year, let's ask these questions to ourselves. Are you ready for 2021? A whole new year is waiting for you. Are you ready to face it? Are you going to bring about a change in your life in 2021 or you are going to pass it just like any other year!! Before talking about the mindset and goals for 2021, let's sit and look back into 2020!! So, now stop scrolling...

Will you be my friend?

When I was a child, I was playing in a swing, A small girl came and accompanied me. I asked to her,"Will you be my friend?" She said 'yes'. Friends are those who gives us the best company. When I was playing at school, I suddenly fell down, A boy lifted me up and smiled. I asked to him,"Will you be my friend?" He said 'yes'. Friends are those who lifts us in difficult situations. When there was a fight at school, A boy slapped me once. My friend slapped him twice. Friends are those never let us down in front of others. When I was at college, I was afraid of failing in exams, My friend replied,' I will fail too bro' Both of us burst into laughter. Friends are those who have the power to change our tears into laughter within a second. When I was an adult, I got a job offer in Canada. I was ready to fly from India. Everyone were so happy. Except one, who was crying. Before I went to ask him,he replied, 'I am your friend da',Get lost!! Fr...
