The main gate

The exam results rejoice everybody in the class especially with no limits for the six friend's happiness. A one-month refreshment holiday is given to them, drowsy days are shinned suddenly, the appearance takes a new look, the hidden cravings start dancing, one day is passed in a second. Parents come and meet them at the main gate in the evening. All of them show their merit cards to their parents proudly. After parents and students have dispersed, the lively atmosphere begins to fade. Kalyan promised Kala that he would drop by her house, so they are both waiting for his car.

The main gate is left with an accompany. He saw parent's love towards students, students waiting for their parents, the grief of the students who did not qualify in the exams, kids who are terrified by the hostel. For the past ten years, he has been the security guard at the front gate. No one, however, is aware of his private feelings. Kalyan visits the main gate to observe the world outside, which encourages him and has a conversation with the security guard often.

He is the one who does his job with no specialization, talent, extra qualification, or personal progress for those who observe him from afar. He is motivated to accomplish this job by his anguish, ambition, and the smiles on the faces of the kids. His name is Sundaram.

"My wife died during the birth of my son, therefore my life is now dominated by my son and the memory of my wife. I provided my son the finest, and we were best friends. I enrolled him in a residential institution like this because he had been a merit student since childhood. He used to hang out with people like you. They roam around the city, eat together, engage time together. He enjoyed their company just as much as I did. For most people, ignorance is bliss, but for my son, ignorance is a curse. His pals used to tease him about his innocence. Gradually, he began to feel bad about those remarks, and they escalated to the next level.

He couldn't take the taunts any longer, so he went off on his own and committed suicide one day." Sundaram tells his sad story.

"Accept that life is full of obstacles; you can't have your cake and eat it too; you must work hard to achieve your goals, manage stressful situations, and never give up. Life is just a grade, a college seat, a girlfriend, or an insult for children, but for parents, it is all their lives. Now this job is the only motivation for me." Concluded his story.

Kalyan is wrapping his head around it and tell "You do not worry every cloud has a silver lining, you have your."

Kalyan's car arrives to pick him up, his driver loads all of their belongings into the car, Kalyan and Kala get in and drive away. Sundaram waves his handle, and the automobile speeds away from the institution. He sits beside the main gate, which he has locked.
