" Oh, excuse us, son." Mr. Dubey said to Ashvini.
Then Mr. Shantanu took him to the classroom,
" Mr. Dubey, what have you planned for the future of Ashvini?"
" Although I don't see any potential in him for becoming a doctor, I think he'll be taking arts or science, and then after graduation, he'll be a teacher or maybe do some other job," said Mr. Dubey in a confirmed tone
" Yeah, I have seen a curiosity in his eyes, a sense of passion for science in him. I guess he'll be taking science,
If you take my advice, I will suggest you send him to St. Xavier's school in Calcutta, which has one of the finest facilities and infrastructure for the science stream in India. I have been a student there in high school."
Mr. Dubey: But don't you think it would be very far from here, there will be cultural differences, social differences, different food, and the high will be the expenses.
( he said in an alarming voice)
Mr. Shantanu: Mr. Dubey, you are a well-educated man, you know there are few risks that need to be taken in order to grow,
And when it comes to the financial problems, don't worry, he has scored pretty well, could easily secure a scholarship there, and I have some contacts there, they will be making it easier for you.
Mr Dubey: But you are so concerned about him, and emphasizing the finest of his education, Sir?
Mr.Shantanu: Because I was also one like him, the curious, intelligent. But the level of passion he has, I have never seen in a middle school kid.
Mr. Dubey: Okay, sir, I have heard what you wanna say, I'll think and let you know my decision, but for now, please excuse me.
Mr. Dubey quickly got out of there and saw Ashvini talking to a girl
" Ashwini!!, Let's Go!!!" he shouted to him, caught the attention of all the teachers there in the campus. And gets out of the school, Ashvini runs behind him from there.
As they get home, he blocks his father's way
asking, " What happened?, Pita ji, why are you in a bad mood…
What did the teacher say..?" Catching up with his breath.
"You should have studied harder!! Ashvini! Instead of being a disappointment to your father's prestige as a doctor," his father said furiously!
Ashvini's face became crimson red, his eyes were filled with tears,
"Where did I go wrong?"
"HOW DARE YOU!!!??"
As his father grabs the Walking stick to beat him.
But he stops, contents his rage, and goes out.
Leaving Ashvini frightened, as if beating the soul out of him.
