The Inexistent Highway..(Ep-27)

'In the papers, it was mentioned that all the land that belonged to Kamarkh village of Rampura district belonged to Garang Khanak and there was our thumb impression on its bottom right corner. And the worst part was we had no proofs with us. Everything was over. Garang went away with a dirty grin on his face, and we couldn't do anything.

But things were not over yet, something else also happened. This something was death to humanity. When lord created the world, he would have surely not thought that some people would fall to such an extent that they would only think of themselves. Such people, who destroy hopes of poor people to earn their bread, who burn houses of the poor villagers to construct their bungalows. Filthy and uneducated people like us don't even deserve places of funeral's, everything in this wicked world is owned by the rich and the educated. People like Garang deserve this world, foolish people like us don't.'

It was the last paper that Reeha read. Tears from her eyes fell on the paper and washed the letter's ink. Was it Garang, she thought. But there was one more question that something that was mentioned in the message. She had to find the best part of the story to discover the whole truth, but the problem was how.

'Garang, of course, he knows what all happened. Nobody better than him can reveal the truth,' Reeha said to herself.She packed all the papers and the letters carefully and took them in the car, there was a note near the break, 'All the best.'

Reeha took a deep breath and drove her car towards the house. She banged the door open and went to the dining room, but Garang wasn't there. She checked everywhere but couldn't find him. She ran upstairs in the balcony. She fell back. Her breath slowed down, this time it was not Garang, but his dead body that hung from the balcony fan which connected his neck with a rope. His body swung slowly. Reeha fainted.It was almost evening when she opened her eyes. It was the ambulance siren that distracted her. Someone from the neighbour saw Garang hanging from the balcony and had informed the police and the ambulance. A doctor gave Reeha a glucose injection. The ambulance worker carried Garang with them, Reeha screamed from behind. She ran after the ambulance crying for her husband. Her all efforts to save him were in vain.

She wanted to cure him and ended with losing him forever.

There was a letter from Garang attached with the cupboard. It was only letters which remained in Reeha's life. It read 'Sorry Reeha, but there is nothing that can cure me, no doctors, medicines and not even you. You can only know the truth. The crime that I did is unforgivable. The truth that I am hiding will go along with me, but the crime that I did will haunt me forever. Try to forgive and forget me. Good Bye!'.
