1 Raj is getting afraid for his family

Raj a 14 years old boy who is trapped in this lockdown period. He is not the son of a millionaire. His father is a labor who works on daily wages. Uncle Mohan (Father of Raj) earns 300rs daily. His family is facing various problems. When the government announces the complete lockdown in the whole country then Raj and his family have been caught in Delhi.

Uncle Mohan and his family are living in Uttar Pradesh but because of uncle's work, they live in Delhi. When Prime Minister announced the lock-down they Raj's family started to panic. the reason behind this is the poverty and lack of money for survival. Uncle Mohan saves 1000 for a long time and this money helps to survive for 3 days. Raj started feeling guilty. He thought that he can't able to do anything for his family. On the end of 3rd day, Raj asked his father

Raj:- Dad (Uncle Mohan) I know that we don't have money to survive. Dad, I am hungry to give me some food.

Uncle Mohan:- Son I saved 1000 rupees from the hard work of a month but in less than 3 days I spend all my savings. Now we have nothing to eat.

To hear the words of his father, Raj feels that his hunger increases. He went to his mother asked the same question.

Mother:- (Angry) Go to your father and ask to give you food. I have nothing.

Raj:- (Anger) You are my parents. to whom I ask for food tell me

Mohan uncle is getting upset and feels regret that he can't do anything. To listen to the hard words of Raj his father is about to cry. Uncle's tears are felling from his eyes.

He asked his wife that is she wanted to go home?

Phoolwati (Mother of Raj):- To stay here and get died from hunger.

Phoolwati is also afraid because she knows that to do a journey of 450 KM by foot is not easy it is next to impossible task.

She accepted to go with his husband because she had a good trust in him and this is the only way for them to survive. Their financial condition was very and very bad. They didn't have anything to feed and nothing to drink but they decided to walk more than 450 KM by walking. Mohan and his wife know that it is an impossible task but they didn't have any other choice. To hear this decision of his parents Raj gets excited and started jumping.

The next morning they packed their bags and after that to collect the number of just 250rs they started their journey.

After the journey of 15 KM, Raj gets hungry and Mohan's uncle feeds him with some rotis.

Now, they riches 25 KM and they felt helpless.

The riches to Anand Vihar Railway station.

when they reached the station their eyes were not just blinked to saw the scenario of the station. they saw that thousands of peoples who are like them stand they're to go their homes.

They started to struggle because some busses are standing there to help these peoples. Raj is with his father holding uncle's hand. Uncle was busy catching the bus but in this event, uncle lost the hand of Raj.

when raj felt that he lost his father's hand he becomes afraid and started screaming.

Fortunately, a policeman helped him (Raj) to meet with his parents. Policeman announces the name of his parent's name on the mike. His father responses and he meets his family

but if we think about the 14 years old kid.

It's a short story but please on my request you imagine that how we deal if we lost our most loving person. If you feel this feeling then your eyes must be filled from tears. This lockdown changed the life of plenty of people. If you're still safe in your home then be thankful to God and your parents. If you think that following the rules is a rubbish task then ask more then 50,000 people who died in the USA. You just thought a feeling of losing the people who love you a lot then you got my point.

So, see you in the next chapter of this book. In that chapter, we're talking about Abhishek who is the only kid of a rich father and wanted to break the rules. In the next story, we saw how he becomes a good and disciplined person in the period of lockdown.
