Tragic

Sometimes some incidents happen so quickly that one really doesn't know what to do and how to react. The tragic situation which the title also suggests is the matter of reality. Yesterday my mother wept very loudly because what we all heard was not only disturbing but also unbelievable. We lost someone very close to us whose marriage was to be fixed the next day. Actually, it got stuck to my mind that what happened was not an incident rather it is being tried to make the situation an incident. I just have no idea of the grievances of the parents of the loved one whose only son has been murdered. Could this be a joke for someone, to whom the incident hasn't happened??
