A road side incident
#WritcoStoryPrompt9
The cry was faint but I heard loud and clear it as I walked past the dark bushes. My steps faltered. It was late and I wasn’t sure if it was a smart thing to stop and inspect the source but I couldn't do it for.....
I remember his face. it was fade and dry and his eye was showing his crave. his crave for his hunger, for his livelihoods. but everybody blamed him and beaten him bitterly. he didn't defend himself like he wanted to do so. I was seeing him with blunt face , and his eye was gazeing me like want help, though without any emotions. I went out and busy with my delivered food. I was showing like nothing was happen and enjoying with my little sis, Somya. she catched all the seen. yes! that day she was with me. She ate food sliently without telling a single word but she was again and again trying to watch that person. suddenly she was cried. I was surprised !!! what happened betu!!!!, why you cried ? is there any problem with you? No! not with me.... then ..... what's your problem? I almost got angry on her. she stared at me and said nothing let's go home I don't want to be here . we moved on to home, she didn't talk to me for long . Even I don't know why she behave so weird but she did....
few days I forgot the whole incedent but I couldn't bear Somya's silent she always said that you never be my brother how could you do!!!!!!! I was fedup with these statements. I got angry and asked," what I did??? why you blamed like this ???????. we went to outside together , is that my mistake???". she said, No!!!!! not at all . "than ??????" I asked. she politely said ... , "you could save him that day ........."
I was shocked !!!!! set down on the earth and thought about the whole incident which actually happened in front of me and my voice could change that senerio. Actually she was right ......., I could saved his life to tell the Truth that day but I did nothing. yesss!!!! I am murderrrrr I am accused, not only his death but also all humanity.
she said right! I never be her brother she is more sensible than I.
