The Most Op Protagonist In History - 2 Dead!
When Saksham reached home, it was already 3:00 PM. As he entered his home, his mother asked him, “Where were you till now? The school gets over at 2:00 PM and it has been a whole hour.”
Saksham playfully hugged his mother like a koala and said, “I was just talking with my friends about the upcoming exams. That’s why I was a little late. And sorry, I took Rs70 from your purse today and forgot to tell you about it.”
Saksham’s mother, Savitri, pulled his cheeks a little and said with a smile, “And here I was wondering where I could have lost those. It’s good that you told me about it or else I would have been thinking about this the whole day.”
“Now, go hang around some other tree. I have to make lunch.” Savitri said this and turned around and entered the kitchen.
Seeing this, Saksham was surprised. He said hesitatingly, “Actually, I took it for-”
Before Saksham could complete his sentence, his mother cut him off and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t scold you for how you use them until you do something bad with them. And this is also the first time that you have asked for money for something other than studying, so it doesn’t matter.”
Hearing this, the guilt and shame that Saksham was feeling earlier also lessened a lot. He now felt a warm current rising in his heart. His eyes also became a little red. He sneakily went inside the kitchen and kissed his mother’s cheeks quickly and then ran off to his room.
Inside the kitchen, Savitri was left, shaking her head and smiling wryly. She wiped her cheeks and then once again busied herself in making lunch.

Night
Saksham was studying quietly when suddenly he heard his someone knocking on his door. He stood up and opened up the door. Outside the door, it was his father who had just come home after a long day at work. His father’s name was Arjun Nayak. He was 5’9, rough-looking, middle-aged man. He was an honest person who valued morals and manners. He also taught this to Saksham ever since he was a little kid.
As Arjun entered the home, Savitri also stood up to get a glass of water for the tired Arjun. Arjun quietly sat on a sofa and drank water. Saksham’s inherited his quiet attitude from his father. When he drank up the whole glass of water, he looked up at Saksham and said in a weird tone, “Today when I was coming home from work, I saw there was huge crowd on the road. When I got near the crowd to see what was going on, I heard people talking about 4 young boys wearing your school’s uniform, got into an accident just a little earlier and none survived. At first I was just going to pass, suddenly I felt that it’d be better if I see who those four poor souls were.”
