REGRET

Hello there, this is my first attempt at writing a drabble. Drabble is a flash fiction of exactly 100 words. Hope you like it!     

 

“Life is too short for regrets, Adi!” Mrs. Sharma tried to convince his 11-years-old son.

“I can't forgive Rohan.”

“Maybe the fib was for your good”

“Oh, that’s bullshit!” Aditya blurted out.

“This is not the way to talk to your mother.” She conveyed in a slightly annoyed tone.

The school bus had arrived in the meantime. Aditya got into the bus without saying his regular “goodbye” to his mother.

When he returned home that afternoon, he was thrilled as all the misunderstanding between him and Rohan was over. He rang the doorbell several times in excitement. But nobody answered.
