Aadhya's mother had died in cancer. Aadhya always carried her photo in a locket.
She always took off her locket and kept it on the table whenever it was their sports period.
One day, as every other day, Aadhya kept the locket on the table. When she returned to her classroom, she was met with a shocking scene.
Mahika (7 years old)
*Holding a broken locket*
Aadhya (8 years old)
*Shocked* How can you do this?! *Shouts while tears fell from her eyes*
Mahika (7 years old)
I didn't. *Crying*
Aadhya (8 years old)
*Not listening at all* You knew it was precious for me! Then why did you do this?!
Mahika (7 years old)
*Crying* I didn't...
Aadhya was so angry and upset that she didn't even listen to Mahika's explanation and on an impulse broke her craftwork which Mahika had worked hard on.
Saraswati Puja was next week. Mahika was excited to showcase her talent in the art/craft exhibition. But all her efforts and hardwork got ruined by her only friend. Mahika's heart broke just like the craft– into pieces. She also got furious. They began fighting with each other.
