DOWN THE MEMORY LANE #5

​

Eager 

​Exasperated by intense heat ,the worker rolled his sleeves and lowered his spade towards the glowing furnace with crackling iron and was glaring towards the old wall clock . He started shaking his legs as he grew impatient. 

His fellow workers were still engaged in turning the fills,and spreading the liquid metal.

 He lookked towards his vibrating mobile and some known names flashing across the screen and some others in his mind. 

Siren rang and a wry smile spread across his face and his legs started moving in the direction of rushing crowd . He collected his wage ,wore his jacket ,put off his glare gaurd and headed towards the slums.

 On his way he neglected the voices, calls from friends , neighbours and jumped or dodged the barriers in his way. He was also caught in the way by a traffic police man ,he passed his entire wage as penalty and continued running. He became excited as he was coming closer to his destination ( home).

He warmly hugged his son and proceeded inside to meet an elderly woman who reciprocated his love by spreading her arm on his forehead and spoke ” bless u son”.
