Expectation
A boy lost his wallet
He wanted a rupee
to go back home.
It was my school time.
A rupee held a value, so
he was begging for money.
No one here lends money,
I had a rupee and gave it.
He said he will return it.
I met him next day.
He looked at me
and did not say a word.
I met him daily.
He looked at me
and did not mention
anything about
that rupee;
as if nothing had happened.
Few months later
we had a fight at school
and this boy; who had borrowed
money from me,
Threw a tantrum at me.
I got really pissed
and asked him to return
my rupee.
He forgot about all that rupee.
I felt cheated and betrayed.
It was from my limited source that
I helped him
that day.
It disturbed me for a long while and,
I carried it in me till I had completed my course in that school.
I left school and forgot about it.
I don't even remember his name anymore, but
he gave me a lesson.
When you give something
Give it happily
And forget about it, or else
don't give it at all.
