After 20 Years

Journey By Train

No, no brother. Please! My part-time job will be full-time after my graduation. I can't die just like that. I didn't even see the outside of my area carefully. Please, brother. Please!

(Holds a metal stick and hits Gajraj two times.) It's all happened because of you. If you didn't talk with this girl then she wouldn't have died. Sorry, girl. You are beautiful enough to live a healthy life but you won't be able to leave it.

Can you at least tell me what he does? Please, sir.

He took money from me for his studies. But it's been one year that he hasn't given me my money back.

Oh! I will give you that. What's the amount?

2...

2 lakh! Okay.

29 lakh! (Tara takes a deep breath and looks at the sky. Again look at the man.)

Just ask that boy one thing. Is he studying or gambling?

Now, you say. What will you do, Tara?

Nothing. Your judgment is the best. Just kill me.

Your wish is granted.

Come on! Sir, please!

The moment I go outside the candle standing in the window will fall and you two will die in the fire.

No, no. Please, sir. I haven't gotten married yet. I have been single since birth.

The man goes away from there. His men are guarding outside the factory to ensure the fire. Tara is looking at Gajraj with dreadful eyes who is looking down. There is no one around them. Tara looks around continuously but after being tired she looks at Gajraj again.

Are you feeling ashamed? You have destroyed a beautiful girl's life. What did you gain?

I am so sorry. I didn't know they would kidnap you also.

Who would think that?

Right.

I am not your family but I still need to ask this. Why did you need this much money?

I needed it to save someone.

At this time, people are killing each other just for an anger issue and you are doing social work. Oh my! Where is your family? Tell them to manage. They are alive, right? Why didn't you give them their money?

They died. When I was 10 years old.

God! You must've siblings, right?

I am the only one.

What about cousins?

They also died. In the accident.

(Starts laughing with a sad feeling.) So, the god has finally written my fate when I am at this close of my life. What do you do for a living?

I can calculate fast without a calculator.

Accountant!

I can memorize things well.

Lawyer!

I can sense the way even in darkness.

Animals!

I can...

Okay, okay. I understand. You can do many things. What about fighting? Do you know how to fight?

I am physically weak.

Looks like God is in the mood today to kill me anyway.

I am sorry.
