Pops!

My name is V. Arun. I am seven years old. . My father’s name is Venkatesh. He is very good. He never gets mad at me. He buys me a lot of toys and chocolates... I love my father. . That's a big bluff. Arun has never met his dad. He has only seen his photograph in the wedding album. And he hates him. . Then one day his father comes back. His mother has to take Arun to meet him once a month. It's a court order. His grandparents say that the man is very bad and might try to take him away from his mom. . Arun is scared and angry. . But why does the man keep bringing him gifts? Why does he play with dogs? Why does he climb like a monkey? Why does he keep saying 'Pop! Pop! Pop!'? As if Arun could ever start calling this strange man 'pops'!.
