Blooper:-
Filled with joy, thinking that his tournament fees would be paid, he skipped inside. He quickly ran back outside when he remembered Susheela was behind the house and wanted to tell her the news. Susheela was in the back, attaching a pipe to the borewell to fill the tank. Seeing this, he went over and took the pipe from her, saying he would do it. After he attached it, Susheela turned on the motor switch.
'Mom, I have something to tell you!' Bharat said, his voice brimming with excitement.
'Tell me, what is it?' Susheela replied, her attention still on the whirring motor.
'Geetha teacher gave me twenty thousand rupees...' he said, pulling the money from his pocket to show her.
Susheela's eyes widened in shock. She moved closer, nervously grabbing his shoulders. 'If she gives it, will you just take it like that? We don't need it. Go give it back.'
'Mom, it's not like that. I said no, but the miss insisted,' Bharat pleaded.
'I said no, right? Go give it back. We don't need their money,' she stated firmly.
'Mom, please! I want to play in the tournament. If I win, I'll get prize money,' he begged.
'It's okay if you don't play. It's enough if you study well. Go give it back...' Susheela said, her gaze hardening.
'No, Mom, I'll play. The teacher gave me the money, so what's the problem?' he said, his stubbornness creeping into his voice.
'I said no, right? Why did she give it to you in the first place? Why did you go to the teacher today without telling me? We don't need her money,' she snapped.
'It's okay, Mom. You won't give it to me. The teacher will,' Bharat retorted.
'If we don't give it to you, you'll take it from the teacher? It's already hard for us to educate you in a good college. Now we need fees for college too. That's why your father said he wouldn't give it to you. If not this year, we'll give it next year. Go back and tell Geetha you don't need the money, and then come home,' Susheela explained, her voice softening slightly.
'Please, Mom, I'll play this time. The exams are also over. What am I supposed to do at home? If I go there, I can practice. The prize money is fifty thousand, Mom. I'll play well. If you want, you can ask the people at my college,' he reasoned, hoping to sway her.
She pulled her son closer and hugged him. 'That's not it, my child. The teacher is giving it to you out of pity. It's not right for you to take it like this. You're not a kid anymore. If you get used to taking money from others, you'll get used to borrowing. You said you wanted to go to some country, what was it?'
'Canada.'
'That's expensive enough. So why do you need twenty thousand now? Wait, I'll talk to the teacher. Go get my phone,' Susheela decided.
'Oh, Mom, why? If you say that, the teacher will feel bad. She insisted and gave it to me even after I said no,' Bharat protested.
'You stay here. I'll talk to her,' Susheela said, heading inside.
Bharat stayed right there, his heart sinking.
Susheela went inside, took her phone, and called Geetha.
'Hello, Auntie. I gave Bharat the money. Did he tell you? I was just about to call you myself,' Geetha's cheerful voice filled the line.
'Geetha, what did I tell you the other day?' Susheela's tone was firm.
'Auntie, that day, he painted so well that I just gave him a friendly kiss, that's all. Don't look at everything the wrong way,' Geetha quickly defended herself.
'That's not it, Geetha. Did you think about it from our perspective?' Susheela asked.
'Auntie, I told you that day too. You said no to Canada as well. What did I say? Bharat is like a friend to me, okay? He loves this tournament. Do you know he cried because his parents wouldn't give him the money? Anyway, what's wrong with me giving it to him? I just think of it as helping a student,' Geetha explained.
'...'
'Auntie, let Bharat play well. If he goes now, once college starts, he'll be focused on his studies and won't have a chance to play these kinds of games,' she continued.
'Hmm...'
'He's studying. After he came with me today, he told me he wrote his exams well. You know how happy that made me? He's happy right now, so don't ruin his mood by saying no to this. He's your son, Auntie. It's up to you. Just think how happy he'll be if he gets good grades and wins that game,' Geetha concluded before hanging up."
