Unwelcome
Guest
The
guests and visitors were welcomed in the past. As ours is a country where it
was taught from the very beginning that a visitor is someone who bring luck to
our house. But as the life today has become very costly, any type of guest is
not welcomed now.
Last year in the school holiday, a distant uncle visited us. It
was quite late at night when he knocked at the door of our house. We all were
sleeping. Firstly I tried to ignore the call but he continued to knock at the
door. I got up with anger to see who the foolish man is knocking at the door at
this late hour. At the gate I saw a stranger, I asked him what is the matter
and whom he wanted to meet and who he was. He told me that he belonged to the
town of my father and his name was Ashok and he wanted to meet my father. I
asked him to wait and informed my father about the man at the door. My father
came out with me and welcomed him. All the members of the family woke up. But
the man did not care for anybody. My mother had to prepare tea for him at that
late hour. He told my mother that he was hungry as he had not taken the dinner.
My mother started preparing dinner for him and most reluctantly I assisted her
in preparing many items. After finishing the dinner, he continued to talk to my
father. I went to my bed thinking what will happen the next morning; I will
have to prepare breakfast for him. For how many days he will stay with us. He
will disturb our all the programs, we have already chalked out, during the
holidays. I didn’t know up to what time he was busy talking to my father. I
hope he will get lost soon enough.
