3rd Day of Lockdown

By hook and crook I passed two days of lockdown. On 3rd day i made up my mind Not to take task at home in hand. I left kitchen and home on her behalf. But 12 hours of day I couldn't spend without work. So i decided to play an adventure game My soulmate was competent in the game. First of all i made a cloth ball with my hands We shall try to catch it on both end. She and i entered into the hall To play game with hands made ball. The rules of game were decided first Hold catch 2 points and dropped catch 3 points We started it only for fun But regret, we forgot it very soon. I threw the ball She caught and scored two points . She tried to dodge me But i caught and started with same points. The game was going on Throw and catch Catch and throw the ball. Clapped at every point We were the players We were the spectators Enjoying game at both ends. But my fate never liked my happiness I was just behind her on points table It my turn to throw the ball I held it as rugby player hold ball. Threw it hard towards her Unfortunately she missed the ball It made her face an extra ball. The game was finished without declaration No one defeated, no one was win. One side the flooded Ganges Other hand the hungry lioness Childhood song i understood this day. Hurt lady at home Corona warrior was on road To catch culprit of lockdown Difficult to select Either stayed in or out in lockdown. I stood unmoved till conscious back Hurriedly i took towel to use as mask Opened the doors and ran out. 'Stay in', ordered a cop to me But who had time to listen it. A ball from my doors targeted me But this time luck saved me. Married man knew married man very well So he helped me to save from hell. He said me politely, 'stand under margosa tree in isolation ' I followed his instructions with deep breath But it was damn evening When honest man asked me, 'Choose home or quarantine of 14 days' There was no option So defeated soldier turned back to home. She was sitting in sofa as queen Watched as tigress looked lamb in grass green. She turned on the TV at high volume Highlights of WWE was going on tv screen Punches after punches listened neighbours With wrecked smile on lips They asked me next day ' who won the match yesterday?
