Real Criminal

the unforgettable day

William: Daniel I can't see you...... come near.
Daniel: big brother why are you lying down here ?. Get up we have to find mom, dad and others!.
William: let me see you, Daniel!.
Daniel: What are you saying, big brother !. I am in front of you !.
(Comes close towards William's face)
William: now I can see you!. (with a gentle but sad smile). Actually, I can't feel anything right now. And my eyes are also closing slowly don't worry about me. You don't have to take everything on you, Daniel. Don't worry everything will be fine !.
Daniel: stop saying, such thing idiot !. Now get up already !. We have yo find others !.
William: to tell you the truth it hurts a lot and I am scared (touches daniels face with his hand filled with blood and suddenly hands fall down) I am sorry.....
Daniel: (terrified) hey!......hey!....big brother!.......open your eyes idiot!. Stop fooling around!.
Police: kid ......your brother is already dead !. He won't be able to talk with you any more.

[Daniel: after hearing what policeman said, I could see people shouting and running but I could no longer hear them. I could see big brother lying down on my leg, but I could no longer feel his gentle warmth. I started feeling that someone or something was pulling me away from a big brother but I no longer had the strength to resist it. I could no longer understand anything anymore. I was going away from my big brother but my voice could not come out to call him. It was like how much I call him, he won't respond to my voice in return so I kept waiting that he stands up and take me with him but he never came.
Man: what happened to your other family members ?.
Daniel: they all also died in the blast. The only thing of theirs left behind with me was that good luck charm that Sam and Lizzy made for me. That day was the last day I had met my whole family happy together. And I knew that when next day will come, I will be sitting somewhere all alone without anyone beside me.]
{a a Few hours later}
Chief of defence department (Codd): soldier !.
Soldier: yes sir !.
Codd: have you called all injured family members to inform to take them?.
Soldier: yes sir !.but......
Codd: but what ?.
Soldier: one of our soldiers found one kid whose whole family died in this blast and he is alone. he is not responding to anything.
Codd: has he saw his parents bodies yet ?.
Soldier: yes sir and he also spoke to his big brother before he died.
Codd: bring something to eat......i will talk to him.

[Man: It must have been difficult for you to see your entire family lying dead and only you are the one who was standing.........all alone.
Daniel: yes ......it was unbearable. But in spite of that, not even a single drop of water came from my eyes. It was like there wasn't any drop who could come out as tear.fear within me had become more powerful within me than sadness.
Man: then how did you overcome it ?.
Daniel: because of that man. "The codd". He was the first one I spoke with after blast]

Codd: kid what is your name ?.
(No response)
Codd: I heard that you were with your big brother when he was in his last breath !. What did he say?.
Daniel:........he apologised
Codd: then what do you think he apologised to you for?
Daniel: for not bringing me along! (Clenching his teeth)
Codd: He apologised to you not for leaving you alone. He apologised you for not anyone of them being there when you achieve something in future and also for not be able to see you as a grown man like your big brother. And most important that he won't be there to hit you and encourage you when time is most crucial for you. Like now.
Soldier: sir I brought some food.
Codd: keep it and go.
Soldier: yes sir!.
Codd: your brother and your family members knew that you will live not yours but their lives as well. They knew that you will live your dreams even if they are not with you. Now you decide what do you really want to do?.
Daniel:(started crying .tears overloaded his eyes ) it won't change that at the end ......, I am all alone.!. It was a trip of just 2 days and in second
They left me forever. I..........miss them!.
Codd: (in pain)I know kid..... I promise that I will bring terrorists to justice. And I promise that I will avenge your family's death by taking them to prison.   (Starts waving his hand gently on Daniels's head until he stopped crying ).
