Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Priya ( p o v)
After reaching police station. Me and Williams were sitting at the corner. police called us... we went and sit in front of them..
police1:-" so what's your name? " (pointing towards me)
me:-" p.. pri.. priya.. sir"
police2:-" why did you came here? where are you from? "
me:-" India, Bangalore, karnataka...... we came for trip here for 3days.. already we spent 2 days here tomorrow we needed to go back but suddenly all this happened..." (I said with crying)
p1:-"okay, don't worry... will bury the bodies here only... as you said to your tour guide and (pointing towards the man) that fellow did the accident.. actually he was drunk so it happened... (the one whom I saw while entering to the police station.. who was standing in front of police) we will take the action..."
me:-" do I need to stay here.. for some days or can I go back to India? "
p1:-" you can... but we need some statement... you can't go tomorrow.. after tomorrow you can leave.. if you want we help you in booking the ticket.. "
I nodded my head
p1:-" okay, let's go to cementory"
after reaching there.. I saw my mom, dad and my sissy face last time and I was sitting in front of them and crying...
Williams came and took me towards the corner and said "be here., I will go do the next steps"
I nodded because I don't know any thing here rules.... after everything... police and Williams came back..
p1:-" now you can go back and rest.. if we need anything we will call you. "
me:-" okay"
with that police left... Williams took me to the hotel... whole ride was silent and I was crying... he dropped me in front of hotel and he gave his phone number to call if I need anything... I nodded and went towards my room.
when I opened my room and went inside each and every part which I spent with my family flashed in my mind... remembering everything I cried and sat behind the door. ...
After sometime...
Someone knocked my door.. I was scared to open or not.. some negative thoughts came to my mind like that driver came to kill me or someone came to stole my money... with shivering only I opened the door... some man was standing and holding food tray... he looked like around 40's... I was scared to my death by looking at him...
man:-" hello mam... I am hotel manager... I heard your story.. I feel sorry about it... even I am form India, Hyderabad... you look like my daughter... don't worry... if you need anything you can ask me... I will help you... "
me:-" tha... thank you"
manager:-" here is the dinner have it"
me:-" no need... take it back sir"
manager:-" I know your condition daughter... but starving like this means you won't get your family back... please have at least few spoons"
me:-" fine... keep on the table... I will have later.. "
manager:-"fine"
(he kept the tray on the table and went)
After closing the door.. I sat on the couch and look at the plate... I don't have an appetite and I started to think. . why should I eat?? for whom should I live...?? all my loved ones are died by leaving me... why god... you did this to me... can't you send that truck when I was there with them... so that even I could have been died with them.. why did you sent the truck when I was not there..?? no... no... I can't live without them... I should die... I searched for knife or some sharp objects L... I found knife on the table where fruits were there... I took the knife... suddenly some thing flashed what my dad said...
FLASH BACK
Once I tried to attempt suicide
me:-" dad.. I didn't studied for the exam because on that day before exam some function was there.. I didn't do well in the exam... so let me die... I lost my future... sob"
dad:-" no dear... by failing in the exam is not like you lost your future, there is a future also... this exam and studies are the part of out life not future... there is always 2nd Chance in the exam... try next time... get pass... don't do such foolish things.. by killing ourself is not the solution... death has to come naturally... we should not force ourself... we should not show our weakness.. by killing our self people will think we are weak and not strong and we don't have courage to face the problem... we have to be strong... life is like mathematics... we will have problem.. sometime easy sometimes difficult problem... we should face each and everything "
me:-" okay.. dad.. I will pass the exam for sure... but marks is less"
dad:-" wow...!! that's good.. without studying by listening to the class.. you have given the exam and scoring.. not bad.. you are good listener "
me:-"thank you.. dad.. love you"
dad:-" love you too... now promise me.. you won't do this foolish things in life again... you will face whatever problem comes in life and you will be strong"
me:-"promise dad.. I will be strong"
FLASH BACK END
Why dad you took promise on that dad... no why I have to cry... I will be strong.. I gave promise to my dad.. yes I have to be strong... to be strong I have to eat... I know my parents will be watching me in the form of star in the sky... if I cry now they will be sad... then dad thinks whatever he thought me will be waste... no... see dad I am dying... I will keep my promise... whatever problem comes to me I will face it... don't worry dad...
I took the plate from the table and went to the balcony... by looking at the star in the sky I said "dad, mom and sister.. see I am eating... I am not doing any foolish thing."
After having few spoonfuls I left balcony and went to washroom took bath and thought to sleep but I was not able to sleep... I was tried and by looking at ceiling and thinking what happened in my life... I don't know when I slept....
