Like the previous visit from the ATM Booth, I went to my friend’s house.
“Tajung, are you home?”
Then my friend answered, “Here, come to my bedroom.”
Then he asked me where I was coming from and I replied I was returning from the ATM Booth.
“For Scholarship money?” he laughed teasingly.
I told him, “Tajung, for 15 consecutive days I went there and returned empty handed.”
My friend asked me, “Wow! What happened? Didn’t you get your Scholarship money?”
“Not yet!” I answered as I lay on his bed with my face facing upward.
My friend then told me, “Tajung, you are lucky for not getting Scholarship money.”
I countered back, “Yes, mock at my situation.”
Then he apologized and said, “Sorry, but I get into trouble by having Scholarship money and thus now I regret.”
Then I woke up saying, “Tajung, aren’t you happy receiving your Scholarship?”
Then he replied back, “Last year I received about 7000 rupees after deducting Rs.50 by our accountant so I thought we’ll get at least Rs.7000 plus. But I was wrong. I got Rs.6660 only and I’m thinking what to do and what not. I gave tenth dice to the Church and brought ‘Chemistry and Botany’ for Rs.1200 and still I have to pay Rs.5200 to my neighbour as I had borrowed to buy a coat-suit for Christmas volunteer activities… but now I don’t know how to pay the remaining money. Our condition is similar with the Worked Charge, dreaming to do something before getting money and then regrets for having such dreams after receiving.”
“Tajung, but your condition is better than me,” I told him in sarcastic manner. Then I told him, “At least you have received Scholarship money but what about us? We returned empty handed from the ATM counter…!”
Then my friend replied back, “Tajung, something is better than nothing.”
“Tajung, are you home?”
Then my friend answered, “Here, come to my bedroom.”
