Broken Glass
Written by: Anoop Parik
"Catch!" Anjali shouted, turning towards Adi with her hands raised. Rohit had hit the ball
right where Adi was standing. The ball went flying past Adi. There was a loud crash and the
three siblings fell silent.
Anjali, the oldest, was the first to move towards the broken picture frame. She held her
arms out to make sure her younger brothers did not step on the broken glass. Rohit and
Adi slowly moved up behind her. No one made a sound. Their eyes had widened, and they
just stared at the scene before them. This was going to be trouble!
"Why didn't you catch it? Now look what you did!" Rohit hissed.
"Me? Who hits such a hard shot inside the house?" Adi responded.
The two brothers looked at each other angrily
"It was such an easy ball. I couldn't help it!" Rohit said, looking towards Anjali now.
"Stop fighting, you two," Anjali interrupted.
"What are we going to do? Mummy will take away the bat. We won't be able to play
cricket anymore," Adi said, holding back his tears.
"Hold on, we need to think. We can't leave everything broken like this," Anjali said, he
eyebrows stitched into a frown.
They stood staring at the broken glass for a while. It was as if they were wishing the pictur
frame would magically fix itself. Rohit was the first to speak. "I know. I'm going to go ge
some super glue. Then we can stick everything back together."
"That won't work, bhai. There are too many
pieces of glass. And we'll get hurt," Anjali sensibly
replied.
"We should just go to our room and tell Mummy
we don't know what happened," Adi suggested.
He looked worried. "It's just a picture frame but
we'll get into big trouble if we don't say that.'
“But we broke it. We should fix it," Rohit replied.
"Rohit is right. We can't just leave it like this. We
can't stick it together either. But first, we really
have to clean up this mess," Anjali said, taking
charge. "We'll think of what to do after that." First, all three wore slippers to make sure they didn't step on any glass and hurt
themselves. Then, Adi ran off to get the broom and dustpan. Rohit carefully stepped
around the broken glass. He picked up the picture frame and put it to the side. Together,
the three siblings carefully cleaned up everything. Luckily, the picture inside wasn't spoilt.
Once they were done, they sat at the dining table to have a discussion. All of them
thought hard about what could be done. I know!" said Adi, the youngest of the three.
"We can say it fell and we cleaned it up. That will make Mummy happy."
Both Anjali and Rohit shook their heads. "You're just saying that now because you're
worried. You know you won't actually lie.'
"Do you think if we just say sorry Mummy will forget about it?" asked Rohit.
"Well, she might but it's still not the right thing to do. We did break it after all," said Anjali.
"
They kept thinking a little longer.
"Wait a minute! How much pocket money have you saved up? What if we tell Mummy
that we'll get the picture frame fixed? The problem will be fixed, and Mummy won't be
angry with us either," Anjali spoke quickly as she spelt out her idea.
It did seem like a good idea. After all, it was the right thing to do. The three raced off to
get all their saved pocket money, happy that they would still get to play cricket!
