Let's get started.

A man loudly knocking on the door. No. More like the man was banging on the door.

An old man opened the door. When he saw who were standing in their doorway, he quickly joined his hand and started to plead to the leader of the group. He was openly crying.

"Come on, take out the money."

"It isn't possible now sir." The old man pleaded to the other man as the whole society gathered around to watch the drama. The bald man who was asking about the money was the local gangster in the area. Him and his thugs often used to extort people to take away their money and properties. Having the support of nearby police helped as well.

The old man was crying. It wasn't as if he hid his money or something. He always gave his money on time. The bald gangster laughed. "I knew it. I fucking knew it, HAHAHAHAH. The month already ended and this is the fifth day after the end of the month. Where's the money of my generosity? And along with interest, huh?" He shoved the old man to the wall as his wife came out with with his grandson and granddaughter. Their parents abandoned the kids, so they lived here alone in the colony with them.

Unfortunately, this local gangster also prowled on the street on lookout for new customers and voilà, he found the old man.

After laughing for a minute, the bald gangster who also was the leader of the thugs turned serious. "Take out the money."

"J-just listen to -"

"No money, no excuses."

The grandma cried, "We did keep your money, son but-" tears slid off her cheeks. "-my grandson suddenly fell ill, in order to cure his disease, the entire money was spent."

The old man nodded seriously. "I'll give your rent really soon. Trust me. Plus I've always given you advance before."

Another gangster spoke from behind. "Did you do us a favour by giving us advance, huh?" However the leader raised his arm to silence him.

"Do one thing. Live under this open sky. No money, no rent for you. Absolutely free." The man laughed as his thugs joined in.

"P-p-plea-s-se d-don't do this..." The old man was begging him and the gang leader was like, when would this drama end?!

"Please listen to him, he-"

"Go in and throw everything out. Let this be a message to everyone here, about what happens when you don't pay my special 'rent'!!! Go in."

"Listen to me son. I've small kids with me. Where will I go with them?"

"Have I taken your responsibility?" He roared at the man as everyone flinched. "Have I opened a service HOME? HUH?!?!"

"Please someone help me." He begged to the colony members in vain. He knew no one would help him. Against the muscular thugs and the fear of the police who supported them and the gangster, no one would step forward. He was just trying to hope.

"Please listen to us son. Fear the god at least. Look at our conditions. We'll pay your rent by next month." The man rubbed his neck at the family drama.

"What are you all standing here and listening to the shit?! Go and throw their things out."

"Aye stop." A young voice called out. That was the voice of Chikoo. A young boy of 6 or 7 years who lived in the colony. He was a fearless lad who hated this man with passion. He was also the grandson of the old couple. "Why are you forcing my grandparents out of the house? Didn't you hear that they'll pay everything by next month?"
