A Lock and a Key

I used to spend my vacations with my cousins, being a single child. I and Jyots were very close, and I and Prachi were poles apart. We had a cousine-sibling rivalary. One year, Maavashi and Kaka took us to Akluj. We must be very young. If I remember correctly, tai was in 7th std, so I must be in 2nd std i.e. 7 years old.

The guest house that we stayed in had a common Toilet, situated bit away from the guest house building. The routine would be if someone has to go to loo, someone other would accompany. We were very scared of the numerous pigs around.

One day I went in and for some inexplicable reason, took the lock with me. Kid's hands! Yes, ... the lock went down the drain. I came out! Explained the story to Jyots. She went in ... with the keys!! It's the key's turn to go down the drain. We were petrified.

We had a slowest walk towards the home. We then waited outside the entrance, to decide the strategy. Prachi (oh, she was so snobbish) spotted our shadows. Prompty she called up Maavshi and ushered us in. I don't recollect the details but the defence wasn't upto scratch. Maavshi being Maavshi did not touch me, not sure what fate Jyots suffered. Further test awaited us when Kaka returned from office. However, Maavshi handled it on our behalf.
