The Black Dress Lady

Torture

'' I still don't understand why suddenly dad appears and then my mum forbids us from going into her room, even if our clothes are in there. She used to ask us to come over there and grab them after she has folded them but now? She brings it to us.'' Thaman's point of view.

The sign says '' Do not enter'' but Thaman disobeys his mother and opens the door, their house had no locker on any door except the bathroom door so he just opens the door and goes in.

'' My clothes might be in the wardrobe, I'll just get it.'' Thaman thought.

He opens the wardrobe and was unable to erase the picture from his mind.

'' DAD?!?!'' Thaman bursts into tears.

'' Thaman sweetie? You ok?'' Bhanumati walked up the stairs.

Thaman didn't respond and his mother's footsteps became louder and louder; his mother checked all rooms where he was but then realised the only room she has not checked: her room, where she forbid her kids from entering.

''Thaman!'' She barges into the room.

Thaman was sitting on her bed, while tears ran down his face, then down his neck. The doors of the wardrobe were still open.

'' Oh you did not see anything my sweetheart..'' Bhanumati immediately got a axe she hid inside her drawers

'' I'm sorry..'' Bhanumati got ready to swing her axe.

As soon as she swung her axe, someone comes in between both Thaman and her: Uthaman has both of his arms out and his legs to protect his little brother. Instead of Thaman getting beheaded by Bhanumati, Uthaman ends up beheaded.

'' Bye Thaman.'' Uthaman whispered his last words.

His mouth was still moving due to muscle memory, after his head fell off his neck. Both Bhanumati and Thaman just stood their in silence and shock while his head rolls onto the carpet. 

'' You're not my son anymore, even if I gave birth to her.'' Bhanumati picked up Uthaman's head and not made a single eye contact with Thaman.

'' After she walked out of the room with my brother's head, I knew life wouldn't be the same, she killed my father and beheaded my brother.'' Thaman wrote in his diary.

Thaman fell onto the floor after Bhanumati pushed him harshly into his room. His room looked like as if it went through war and then he was locked inside.

'' My room was empty, it only had an empty glass cup, a blanket and three tracksuits that had not been washed. Mother would only feed me once a day, a sip of water three times a day but would make me drink my own urine, sometimes 1 month. My life has been like this for like 4 months, I tried to escape but failed terribly, I was beaten up so bad it was worser than the pain I would usually deal with, when my mum beats me with the belt.'' He wrote the pain he had yo live with in his diary.
