Ever killed anybody?
-YES we have!
All the ants, cockroaches, isn’t it?
A Real blood shed?
-the mosquitoes,
OKAY,
Murder with a Knife?
-Definitely, that mouse and that lizard.(HOLY GOD! These are the FUTURE SURGEONS!)
A human body? A breathing soul brought to halt? Yes, a human being? HAVE YOU?
-*SILENCE*
Well I have, though I am not a Doctor! I killed a living soul and I am guilty.I know I will be punished, I leave my Punishment to the Readers, To HIS family members, and especially to HIS Friends, I beg their pardon.
A text message beeped, Filling the room with white light through small glass screen. I woke up to see, it was Arnav’s message, Heart Break Kid ‘HBK’ his little nickname that he loved!
“HBK
12:07 AM
THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGES ARE NOT THOSE IN YOUR INBOX, BUT ARE SAVED IN YOUR DRAFTS!
GN.”
A smile spread across my face, he was true. We never talked to each other much, He was a friend of my friend, I texted back,
“1SHA
12:09 AM
GN 🙂 ”
It used to be so nice, to see text messages back when we were still school kids, I closed my phone and went to sleep.
NEXT DAY
“HBK
This is my GMail-Id and password, Please have a look, its Important!”
I opened up the mail for the first time in Life, saw the mails, INBOX and found nothing, Logged out and texted back
“Nothing is here!”
Several days passed, I didn’t hear from him.
ONE DAY
I was scrolling Down the text messages and started deleting the Old one’s, ALL of a sudden I was Struck DEAD!
I Rushed to open the Mailbox,
“Drafts(2)”
Stone faced and Shocked as I was, I knew not what to do? Tears flooded in Heart as I closed the mailbox. It had been 20 days since he gave me his password. I was shattered completely, I suffered setback and Could not speak up for days.
“Dear ONESHA,
I don’t know any other person close to me at this hour, I just don’t know, I am right or wrong but I cannot handle this Mental Pressure and Frustration anymore, Please forgive me, I am Going.
HBK”
He Left for his journey, breaking our hearts a week before IIT-JEE 2012.
There is a story in Indian Scriptures. There is a blind man, who is walking towards a well, You are watching him, If the person Falls into the well, then who is guilty? Is it the MAN or is it YOU?
It is You!
I am Sorry. I could not save him, Yes I am guilty and Yes! I am a KILLER.
In the Loving Memory of
