Munna bounded up the stairs two at a time and plonked himself on the green rexine sofa, panting, eyes wide with terror.
People poured into the room, somberly, silently. All eyes were on Munna, still struggling with his breath.
Someone was callous enough to sidle upto him and ask in loud whisper,” The child is dead.Isn’t he ?”
Munna recoiled from him in horror, and started screaming , hysterically, “I haven’t done anything, maine kuch nahin kiya!” Over and over again , like a stricken parrot.
At this point, grandpa entered the room, and raised his hand. Munna immediately clammed up.
“The good news is , it is a mere fracture.”
The doctors briefcase was ever so gently placed on the centre table.
The entire room breathed easy.
Today was his first day of independent driving.And Munna had screwed it up. Gloriously. He had knocked a boy off his bicycle , in the choked lanes of the town bazaar. Now the police will come in hordes,and they did.
The car was impounded and a massive manhunt launched for Munna , who went underground.
What made the matters worse was that Munna was a mere car mechanic, with no license.
