Flaw- A Skit

Character:

Mr Sen:  Middle aged man, Ashok’s father

Ashok: A young man of about 18 years of age

A room in which Ashok  is sitting alone on a stool. Room is dark in the beginning but as the curtain rises, a dim light reveals a reasonably well furnished room. Mr Sen enters the room slowly

Mr Sen: ‘ Ashok, How are you my son’

Ashok ( slowly raising his head ) : ‘Oh! You are here.’

Sen: ‘ Yes son, I have come to disclose a vital information to you.’

Ashok; ‘ Oh! No, not again the match scores .’

Sen: ‘ No, it is not the match result this time, my son.’

Ashok: ‘ then, what is it father?’

Sen: ‘ I know son you have dreams to pursue in future, you told me that you wanted to become a pilot.’

Ashok: ‘ Yep I do have. And I look to you for every kind of moral and financial support.’

Sen: Ah!, my son I would have considered myself fortunate to help you but……….’

Ashok: ‘But what. Is there some problem father ?’

Sen: ‘ Yeah, my son I have lost my job and whatever money I had invested is also lost due to slump in share market.’

Ashok: ‘ (suddenly jumping from the stool) ‘ Oh! no, then you will not be able to support me ( and falls on the stool with a thud and buries his head in his knees)

Mr Sen slowly leaves the room, after placing his hand lightly on Ashok’s head, with an expression of lost gambler who has lost everything in the world, leaves room and Ashok to darkness.
