Appointment Order

-Guru Prasad

Happily Malar came shouting, ‘Daddy! Brother phoned. He got the appointment order. The postman brought it just now.’

Sivakami now demanded justice from her husband, ‘ For the past one year, you’ve been shouting at him that he was not going for any job. Now what do you say?’

‘Did I blame him purposely? I wanted that he should go to job without wasting time. That was my desire.’ As Gopal was saying this, Selvam came in. Malar ran to him. ‘Brother! Where’s the appointment order, give it to me.’

Selvam put on airs and looked at the daddy, mummy, and Malar.

He gave Malar a magazine and said, ’Malar! Look at page number seventy five, my short story ‘Appointment Order’ has come!’

After listening to this, all felt as if they’d lose their senses!
