LATE NIGHT’S OF DECEMBER
We know how the month of December will be. It is the time of winter. It is hard to get up in the early morning because of the cold weather. We know that we also don’t get up soon at that time. Here comes the small boy in this story whose age is 15. His father usually calls him Aadhira. According to psychology, this is the age where son and father got separated because of their ideas. In the same way, our hero is a good and obedient son to his father. His father was working in the printing press where invitations, banners, visiting cards and many other printed materials were printed. After school ends, he usually goes with his father and both of them work together. He was very interested in making designs. He started designing at the age of 12.
But now, there was a gap between him and his father, because of his higher studies. He wouldn’t see his father because when he woke up, his father went to work, then, in the night, he came after his son went to sleep. So, there was no time gap to see and talk with each other. Soon the gap develops because of these poor studies. This hurt his father, but he didn’t consider it. But his father believes in his son that he will be a successful person in this life. As the days went on, he didn’t want to speak with his father. If he wants anything, he approaches his mother and he even used to order his mother, but she won’t tell this things to her husband.if she tells her husband would get anger on Aadhira. At the same time, at school, Aadhira was in that class. At that time, his class teacher enters the class and interrupts the class and he introduces his new classmate. Her name was Advika. He had already seen this girl before at the end of this street. Their family was shifted from Bangalore. Soon that class ends in school after that aadhira was walking to his home.
At the same time, Advika also went to her home. They were walking on the same road but, he went to the left side of the road and she on the right side. He reached his home but he stood outside. He was looking at where her house was. Next morning,she came near to his house while he was also starting in a hurry. She went a few steps forward but soon he came before her. She called him to ask his name. He was stunned because he wouldn’t talk to girls. He didn’t speak any words to her. The class had ended, he was thinking about her and so many questions were going around his mind.
After two days, she came to his house. Aadhira’s mother introduces her as her cousin. Once again, he was stunned and she came to him but he didn’t respond to her properly. After they slowly began to talk, Aadhira was always caught by the teacher because he was always incomplete in his homework. She notices this in the class and wants to help him. Because of the late classes, he couldn’t see and speak to his father and his father also didn’t consider much about him. The school had announced the Christmas holiday so, she went to his home and she asked him for a design bearing the content of Christmas. He couldn’t refuse her. After a long time, he went with her to his father’s workplace. His father was happy about seeing him again at the workplace. After he completed the design, she went home but Aadhira’s father told him to stay with him till his work had been completed.
Soon it became dark, because of the cold climate. That, they both moved from the work place. But they didn’t go home. Aadhira’s father took him to the small hilly region near their town. And he bought two cups of black coffee for them. Then, he asks about his studies and his lack of performance in school. Aadhira explains his difficulties that he was facing without his father’s guidance. Then his father gave him some advice but it became too late, but both of them didn’t consider it. Aadhira’s mother asked Advika about him. He told her that he was coming with his father. His mother felt happy and thanked her because she had taken work after a long time.
Father and son discussed many things they didn’t see. It was already 10:30pm. They started moving home. His father stopped in a dark place and showed him the beauty of the night, which had a clear sky and it looked like cloth designed with stars and the moon. His father said that if he had any stress or any depression or feeling lonely, just see the sky where stars and moon were single but they have their own bright light in the dark. We should convey our feelings to our beloved person where we get light in a dark situation.
