The New Video Game

Apart from spending so much time on this one activity, he
was doing fine, they thought. He did his homework and
he joked around and made everyone laugh. He seemed to
be able to manage well enough.

One day, as usual, Raju was playing in his room. He heard
his mother talking to someone on the phone. He could not
hear her properly and he thought she took his name once
or twice. So, he went out to see who she was talking to.

Raju’s mother had just put the phone down. She looked
not quite like herself, so Raju went up to her. “What
happened, mother?” he asked.

“Nothing. Let your father come home,” she said. “We’ll
talk about it. Go to your room now.”

Raju hesitated, but hearing his mother’s tone, he kept quiet
and left for his room. He waited for his father to come.

In the evening, when his father got home, Raju was still
playing in his room. He heard his mother crying. He
couldn’t hear his father at all. Just some words here and
there. ‘Raju’, ‘school’, ‘teacher’ he could figure out, but
nothing else.

He got a little scared. What was happening?
