a suffering in disguise

Well in a state of fever i didnt have better option rather than to browse my mind over the tyranny of times n gaze in the arms of wilderness ...i heard cries ...no these were not the generations of the fluctuating vibrations of my soul ..they were real n they were genuine ...i was "intrigued "...well i know this is not apt on my part to use this word to describe the horror that i witnessed...but still this is the exact feeling i had when my eyes were feasted upon a terrible sight ....

The noise of moaning n crying was coming from my neighbours domain..i cried heavens while peering from my bedrooms window...as i captured a pretty woman in early thirties holding a rod of considerable thickness and whole heartedly taking out her ageold frustration on a kid of five years old ...ruthlessly as much as u can let your imagination wander upto....

the worst part was that the louder the child cried.... the harder were the unscruplous blows,,,,

i was aghast!well it took me some time to settle but i finally did ..well when at todays time such things happen the best u can do is keep off touble by tredding the safer part of meek silence ..a powerful weapon at times ...but a disgrace several times other...

the girl it seems from what i can surmise from her tribal looks ...must be hailing from a weaker section in asam n her parents(if they exsisted) must hav obliged to render her services to the lady...that too in a minimal cost .l....it happens... its very common practice that has gripped assamese indoors

next day again same cries n wails ... i followed this time ...n discoverd from the snippets of my eavesdropping that the girl ...api as the lady calls her (synonymous wid hey girl)...eventualy volunteered to let a hanky fall off the balcony while collecting the clothes that she had putout for drying ...as a reward or her general silly or rather simple careless act she was kicked hard on her face many times....

well if u think the whole story ends here ...please hold ur speculation ...there was a whole tribunal of violent acts that continued for entire week ... n i just saw....silence ...as wise men say is the greatest asset a human soul should empower itself with ...i wish they were here to assign the dignatory remark of cowardliness to silence!~

things got worse by the end of the next week ...it was more than enough i told myself i need to go and settle things for myself /....i along wid my warden (who had to be literally begged by me to go ) went to my neighbours lady bungalow...well as fake as the woman's beauty ... the house was majestic ...

i gave polite yet strong warnings to the lady that i hailed from child care trust(i dunno if that exsists !) n that i had complaints from her neighbours ...(on this i pointed my warden who gave a displeased nod) that she ill treated the child and i asked her to mend her ways if she wanted to further avoid trouble....

she was stiff enough even for a subtle reply ...i never expected out of her any...actually

but i was damn relaxed a victory ...very delighted that i had done some great philantropic deed ...i was soo happy ...finally i wud hear no more cries n can rest my tired soul in peace ,,,,


the best was yet to come ..... i went to terrace that night n saw the woman holding the girl by one of her hands and pulling her hairs by the other ....... i hid behind the water tank ..... but there were no cries this time ...
the girls mouth was strongly tied with a piece of cloth n she was being bashed up on account of letting her neighbour know the factfile!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think it was her destiny?

bhavjot said...

maybe not her destiny but definitely an unhealthyplay of nature !

There's no such thing as destiny. There are only different choices.
Some choices are easy; Some aren't.
Those are the really important ones, The ones that define us as people.

i guess so its only a matter of a choice that makes a king and another a beggar ...dats the actuality of living !
