Antony
is a young boy of fifteen years he is a prankster. His father is a civil
engineer he is a serious man. His mother is fun- loving lady she is not interested
in household chores. She loves shopping and chatting with her friends.
Often antony’s father and mother involve in verbal duel
because they both are diametrical. Antony likes his mother very much, he approaches
his dad only when he needs money. Antony despite his notoriety, performed well in his Academics. He had many
friends around him. In his classroom, his friends flanked him always.
Antony’s
classmate is Arjun, an ordinary boy, both in
background and studies. Arjun does not
mingle with antony in many activities. The students, even girls, are in need of Antony to clarify their doubts
but Arjun alone did not consult him. Antony noticed this and he wanted to know
the reason. Antony met Arjun personally and asked him why he does not join his
company Arjun replied that he feels inferior and this hampered him to mingle
with Antony’s group. Antony patted him and told him that it all silly to think
in such manner then he requested him to join his company. Antony
does not like arjun. He secretly planned in mind to humiliate arjun in front of
his friends there by cracking jokes at the expense of arjun. Arjun
is a naïve fellow .He believed
antony and joined the group the next day. Then they started studying together .
The group discussed many lessons together. Antony used to buy many snacks for
his friends they all relish and eat it but after that Antony would make arjun
to clean the place and remove the waste papers and discard it in a dust bin.
Arjun tolerated all this mortification After two weeks there was an examination
for which arjun worked very hard. He clarified his doubts with Antony and his
group members. He wrote his exams well. During the holidays the group
visited many places they even exchanged
gifts. Their gift objects were books and
inkpens. They visited a park full of trees and meadows. They enjoyed
playing hide and seek. Now they are intimate so they named their group as ”
deadly darlings”. After a week, their school reopened. The” deadly darling” group attended
the class as usual. The teachers distributed answer scripts of their respective
subjects. Antony was awaiting his marks because Antony is the classtopper in
both the subjects so far. When the marks were revealed antony was shocked to see his marks he heard
that arjun surpassed him both in mathematics and physics. Arjun stood first in the class in two subjects
those are mathematics and physics. Antony lost his temper shouted at the
teachers and torn away his answer scripts. That day he left the school very
early. The next day, when Antony reached school he saw all of his friends
greeting Arjun with chocolates and cakes. This added fuel to the fire.
Antony
went and talked with his friends but his friends talked to him only about
Arjun’s achievement in the class. In their class it is their custom that
whomever tops the class will have a topper batch with them till the next exam.
Until now it is only Antony who had the toppers’ batch but now the class
teacher gave the batch to Arjun. Antony was infuriated, he stopped talking with
his friends. All the girls who surrounded Antony now turned their attention
towards Arjun .
Arjun
loved his friends he never hated Antony.
But Antony could not control his anger he was desperate. He tried to
express his sorrow to his mother but she
was not interested in listening to her son’s words rather she prepared
herself to attend a party that night. He wanted to ventilate his anger and
disappointment so he got money from his father . His father too gave him money
without any question . He went to the street. He met some of his platform
friends he explained his problem to them. The platform friends knew well that he is son of man of substance. They
enquired him about his problem then they took him to bar where they made him to consume liquor.
Antony consumed liquor he was intoxicated as he consumed too much he vomited on
the road. After some time, he saw a school boy walking on the road since he was
intoxicated he mistook that boy for Arjun and attacked him with his firm fists.
The boy yelled for help. Some constables reached the spot and arrested Antony .
when a constable chained his hands, Antony slapped the constable so the
constable took him to the station and filed a case. The next day the news
reached the school and Antony was suspended from the school. Arjun and his
friends felt bad for this predicament of
Antony. Arjun thought of relieving Antony from this distress. So that evening,
he consulted his father , the constable
who chained Antony. At first, his father
refused to set him free but when arjun cried for the release of his friend he
agreed to set him free. Then Arjun along with his friends went to their headmistress explained the problem of Antony.
The headmistress appreciated the unity of the students then she assented to re
admit Antony in the school. In the mean time, Antony’s father and mother reach
the police station to see their son. The constable striked out the case and
released Antony. Arjun and his friends arrived at the police
station. Antony thanked the constable but the constable asked him to thank
Arjun. Arjun’s friends related the
proceedings to Antony. Antony realized his mistake. When arjun asked him the
reason for consumption of alcohol, Antony told that there was no way to
ventilate his worries so he opted this sort of
activity. Listening this his father and mother felt bad about their
recklessness . Now they realized their fault so they decided to pay attention
to their son and his life. Antony thanked Arjun and they both became close
friends. The “deadly darling” group is now rejuvenated. Antony continued his
studies as usual. Arjun and Antony remained life long friends.
