Children

Raghu has never been so soft in nature. He always speaks and shouts with a high temper that others can't bear him and he screams even for a silly reason or no reason at all.

It so happened one day that, while riding so fast on his bike, he was about to hit passersby, but, to his fortune, a child walking to his side had pulled off the old man who is supposed to get hit by Raghu. In any case, he'd shout at others, using his cunning intelligence, so that others would run into defence. But this time, he immediately had got feared because that street has CCTVs which will catch hold him of his fault and hence, remained calm, fearing what would happen. The people surrounded and were about to catch him for his ruthless driving which would cost someone's life or health and family's wealth. They ought to take him to the police station, had not this child, who had by then, already had helped Raghu by dragging that old man who's supposed to get hit. Now the same child had asked all the crowd to remain silent, as no damage had happened and everyone is safe, and that Raghu didn't do it intended. He also had assured that Raghu wouldn't ever repeat that mistake. Somehow, the crowd had dispersed, with some murmuring, because, few of them, who already are aware of Raghu's aggressive nature, knew how would Raghu react, had the characters in this scenario are exchanged. Raghu, ever for the first time in his life, had not only sensed fear but also guilt. Not just because he's an opportunist who would utilise such a situation, had the characters been exchanged, as said by the crowd, or not because of his ruthless driving but also because this same boy, whom he'd been insulting daily, stays next to his apartment, in an independent house with his family is of good culture. The boy's parents are employees and he had a younger sister as well, and both these kids are taken care of by the boy's grandparents, who, share lots of Love and Affection to the kids and also value their daughter-in-law. i.e., the boy's mother and also honour her parents and siblings when they pay their visit, which is never liked by Raghu and his mother, as their behaviour is complete upside down to this scenario. And this boy is a friend of Raghu's son, and also studies in the same school as Raghu's son, and hence boards the same bus as well. Though Raghu's son is happy with this boy, Raghu never entertains him and he scolds his wife if she does! Raghu's mother joins him in this episode, as usual. But today, it is this boy who had saved him. By God's grace, unlike with the case of other egoistic people, this had brought a change in Raghu. He had left from that place, bowing his head and Thanking the crowd and the boy as well, in a very low tone, as he had already felt ashamed of his behaviour.

As usual, after going home, his mother started complaining to him on his wife thought she's of no guilt, and also added to her words that this boy had again pitched into their house in the noon as it's a holiday for the kids. Raghu, despite shouting and hurting wife, understood how much pain it would be, to bear blame without doing any mistake and serving committed, when he himself was saved from people's agony when the mistake was from himself.

This time, he'd responded softly and gently to his mother, stating, "I know my wife and her attitude, enough of bucking. As a mother, you should always wish for your son's happiness but here it's not the case with you. I'd have told it to you in a tough voice but I know the power of softness and have experienced it today, due to which you are able to see your son fine now". Stunned with this change in him, Raghu's mother was about to say something but Raghu, turning to his wife, had mentioned that he will from now on, rectify all his faults, and as a first step of it, motivated her to invite her parents and this boy's family to their home for lunch, the coming weekend and he himself had begun calling them all
