My cousin brother was a complete geek. He earned himself a job as soon as he passed college in a high position in a bank. Everything was going smooth and everybody was happy until he was posted in Chennai. Period.
Well I was sitting at home after my class 10 board exams when (according my brother) I got this very exciting offer! To visit him in Chennai! Wow! It was soooo........... boring! anyway as i had a choice! I went to chennai in the smoldering heat and used to spend the days trying to understand the gibberish the people around me jabbered.
Understanding at last my brother took me to this shopping mall. Home at last!!!! It had AC in it. a very important thing which the apartment of my brother lacked! And of which I was in dire need. My brother wandered off to but some essentials while I was just roaming around the mall endlessly! Suddenly a giggle made me turn around.
It was small kid aged 5 or 6 looking up at me with his huge innocent, blue eyes! He had a had a head full of golden curls, dangling every time he turned his face. His skin was the whitest of white, a hint of pink in his cheeks and ruby red lips! And the smile! It was dazzling! If i was of that age I would have surely fallen for the cute kid.
The kid walked towards me gingerly and kept on smiling at me. Unable to control myself any longer I grabbed hold of the kid's cheeks and pulled them hard. The next moment I knew was that I was being grabbed by my arm and turned around and 2 huge, tight slaps planted themselves neatly across my cheeks.
With my cheeks stinging I looked up to face this woman who lashing out with abuses at me in some god forsaken language while carrying the cute kid in her. I blinked to steady myself and the next moment the lady was gone. Bewildered by the strange behavior I looked towards heaven when I caught a sign above me "Beware of kidnappers".
Looking around with the corner of eyes to avoid any familiar faces I slowly sauntered away from that place pretending I-don't-know-what-just-happened-here-I-was-s0-not-present! Moral of the story: Never pull a foreign kids cheeks. If you do so there is no guarantee of your health. Conditions apply.
