Ten-year-old Rutu had closed the bedroom door behind her with a thud and locked herself up again for the umpteenth time.
Her
mother had warned her against doing it- still Rutu did as she was
furious with her mother just because she had firmly told her to switch
off the TV.

To her horror, Rutu found she could not open the latch of the door after a while, when she wanted to come out!
Panic gripped her as she screamed from inside making loud noises struggling with opening the door- "MAMA OPEN THE DOOR!"

Nice one but felt ten year old Rutu's mom should not punish her like this when the girl was in panic
ReplyDeleteI know it is a story
Thanks KP for reading n commenting! I feel dat even after doing d same drama umpteen times if d kid did not agree to listen even if her mother explained her mny times, then this was God's way of doing justice! Perhaps d panic n struggle wd stop her from closing door n locking herself up in future!
DeleteHope the child learnt the lesson her mother wanted her to learn! :)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm thinking of writing a sequel to this post! So plz wait 2 kno further! ;-)
DeleteThanks a zillion for reading n commenting!
Drama in real life!!! God decides how to make us learn the lessons we have to!
ReplyDeleteYes very true!
DeleteMust be a stepmom... Real one can't see her kid in panic... Is the door still closed ?
ReplyDeleteHa ha! No Shabab! With today's kids getting more rude, arrogant, negative-minded, only God saves the day for nagged Moms whose thousand times polite requests to not lock themselves up in rooms for their kids goes ignored!! What can a 'REAL' Mom do from outside coz the door is jammed from inside?! Perhaps she can try kicking it multiple times to make a hindi film type entry by breaking the poor jammed door...:P
Deletekids .. i too had those things .. was lucky that never got locked :D .. why only rutu even her mother was furious :P
ReplyDelete* i too did
DeleteYes that's right! Both were furious! The negative kid got on her mother's nerves as well with frequent lashings of the door! Finally she had 2 learn it the hard way....:P
DeleteYou have packed many emotions- anger, defiance, rebelliousness, fear,and remorse in just five lines!
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooo mch Saket! Never thought of it this way! Thanks fr this nice compliment! :)
DeleteAmazingly written. I have done it so many times though never got locked inside. Poor kid must be terrified.
ReplyDeleteOMG! U used to shut the door & lock urself up when angry?! Yes has to be terrifying...but then...it was God's way of teaching her a lesson...her Mom could obviously do nothin from d outside except perhaps bang it open......with all her anger again...:P
DeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
