Even Gold cannot buy true friends

It was a pleasant cool morning Raghu woke up from his bed at around 8 O'clock which he thought of was very early. He freshened up and by 8:30 he was ready to go to play .But, he couldn't find his golden ring he searched the whole room but didn't find it.

"Amma!! I lost my ring"cried Raghu

But there was no reply.His mother was on the terrace and could not hear him from the ground floor. To Raghu, It was a really precious ring one that his best friend had gifted him for his birthday. No matter where he went, the ring would always be on his right hand. The ring had the letters R and A engraved on it. R was for Raghu and A was for Anand.That was exactly why he loved the ring so much. By that time mom had come come down.
"Did you see my ring?"Raghu asked his mom running towards her.

"Which Ring?" replied the amused mother '...are you talking about the one Anand gave you?"

"Yes, Yes Please tell me where is it. I searched the whole room and couldn't find it."

"I don't know.It might be fallen somewhere there" Replied the mother not showing the slightest
concern

Raghu went to his room and slammed the door and stared crying.Just then his mother knocked the door and asked him open the door.Raghu then wiped his tears and did so. His mother instructed him to go out to play since the maid had to clean Raghu's room.At last Raghu went out and sat on his father's vintage bike which had almost rusted. Anand spotted his friend and that tears were rolling down his eyes.He ran up to Raghu and questioned him what had happened.Raghu just burst into tears and didn't reply.After 10 mins of crying Raghu was convinced by Anand and some of his other friends named Raju , Rakshith, Anderson and Jon. Soon, The boys were playing
Raghu an opening sixer batsmen got out for 0 this time.He was really upset about the ring.After the match They were all chatting.Anand sundenly noticed noticed Raghu's hand.The ring was missing! Anand still kept quiet and while going home he asked raghu to stay back

"Raghu, what happened to the ring I had given you?"asked Anand

Raghu started crying and then finally replied "Sorry, I lost it and noow I know that your really mad on me and I am really sad I lost such a good friend like you"

"Oh, Raghu don't worry, Do you want another ring?"

Raghu just hugged him tightly and it said it all!!
