FEELINGS WHEN SISTER GETS LATE
Mummy, what is this, Kanwal has not yet come home from her office. It is already so late and is 10 O' clock. Mummy! I am very upset. Shall I go and inquire from her office which can be contacted on phone?
Mother was not at all bothered even after that. Mother said that she has gone to attend a reception there, and might not even return that night. She and her office colleagues are very close, and her boss's daughter is to be married that night.
At that I heaved a sigh of relief. Till then I had been worried about her. My mother is very expert in keeping secrets. Had she told me earlier about the wedding, I would have been speared many anxious moments. But it is not her nature.
I made up my mind to take my sister to task when I meet her. My mother told my father at about 11 O'clock that night that she had permitted Kanwal to attend the said marriage. My father also expressed his surprise at my mother's late night disclosure.
I was so relieved when Kanwal came loaded with sweets right after departure of the wedding procession
