Shikha walked slowly into the room with a white balloon in her hand. “This is for you. Hope you get better soon,” she said and left.

She was the fourth person to visit him in the hospital, that too, on her mother’s insistence, who was a teacher at their school. The other three—Anil, Roy, Umesh—weren’t really his friends. They were his classmates who hung out with him and bullied other kids.

A week ago, Roshan met with a terrible accident. Doctors saved him but couldn’t move his legs. Roshan could make out how serious it was by the look on his father’s face. Every time, he spoke to the doctors, tears rolled out of his eyes.

Roshan was scared. As soon as Shikha left, Roshan grabbed his notebook from the table, ripped out a page and started scribbling.
