71. Untie

It was a stubborn knot. Adi stared down at his right sneaker in frustration. It seemed unlikely that he would ever be able to untie the complicated knot he had mistakenly tied.

He continued to tug on the laces, hoping it would come loose but it remained stubborn. Ugh! This is what he got when he didn’t bother to tie the laces properly and instead just hurriedly did some random knots because he was too busy concentrating on the cricket match. But in his defense, it was an important match. So now, he’d just have to deal with his mistake.
