A prank gone wrong

Cyrus Broacha
SOON after I got married, it was April 1st and there was a cricket match going on. In those days matches would begin at 8.30 am. My wife had gone to the bathroom and as a prank I locked her inside for a few minutes. Except my father called me downstairs where we continued watching the match for an hour and 15 minutes. After the innings, when we turned the volume down, we heard her from the bathroom. There were no mobile phones then and she had been locked in for over an hour. It was a prank gone wrong and she was really angry.
