Father Vs Boyfriend

It was around 11 p.m. or 11:30. m. at night. A man was returning from a factory after finishing his duty by his bicycle. It was cool and silent (dog barking sound in between). The only insane sound of the broken mudguard of his bicycle was making the scene a bit noisy. It was a red clay road close and parallel to the railway track up to the last end of the slum.

A bit away there was a huge mango tree and its shadow was too faint in the dimmed street light.

A goods train was coming from the front with a longhorn like a deadly dark monster. The man got shocked with that because he had not familiar with such a long horn since last 2 years. Suddenly, he saw a faint figure in between the railway track. He cried loudly and fell from his bicycle being imbalanced.

The train Passed him. He got up with the curiosity of the faint figure.

“What was that?”, he questioned himself.

He went to that spot with a loaded heart. It was pin dropped silent. But his heart beat was at its maximum.

He got shocked and started to tremble with the scene when he saw a blood-stained body of a Young Girl. Might be a college student. From her costume, it was seemed like a rich lad.

Before he could feel something, he got shocked with the sound of a crying baby. He found a newborn baby girl inside a blood-stained towel under the pole of a street light a bit away. He ran there and took her in his arm.

The baby suddenly stopped crying and was breathing calmly. The man could not get anything. Why the baby stopped crying at once when he took her in arm??

Did the baby get the love and affection, it wanted, which was absent with her unmarried late mother or was making a rhythm with the silence of the cool darkness?

But he could feel in his heart, the effect of the 3rd World War, the birth of the baby. That made him strange. Two drops of tear rolled down on his cheeks.

He looked around up to the horizon of the darkness, but, there was no one. He could not decide what to do. Whether he would call the police or leave the baby there being with the attitude of inhumanity.

The baby was feeling comfort ness in his arm, which made him like he got the parenthood being single. The parenthood in his heart, who even did not know the definition of parenthood was flaming and trembling like a gloomy Flame of an earthen lamp.

He decided to offer a bright future to the baby. So, he left the city that night with lots of hope.

He brought up the baby with a lot of love and care like a princess. Never neglected her. If ever he had any difficulty in bringing her up, that fateful incident came to front of his sight which made his work harder.

The time went on. The baby grew up in the township environment. Got admitted in an English medium school and grew up into a beautiful young girl. She made her ambition to be an actress.

From school life to college life, she thought herself as a heroine, but did not get that honor and status.

She had no mother and brought up by a single father. She could feel her father’s role in each moment of her life. She had got total independence by her father.

But she could not do any better with that, instead go trapped with bad companies and attended pubs, late night parties, dance parties and had started a habit of in takings of drugs, drinking and smoking. Meanwhile she had made a rich boyfriend also.

One night, she was getting too late to back home. Her father was so worried, but, everything went in vain after trying to ring her up many times, because she did not respond. Her father was about to call the police, she came home. He rested assured a bit. But, suddenly, switched to anger, when he came to know about his drunkard daughter as she was in heavy hangover at that moment. She was not even able to step her feet firmly.

He scolded her. That was the very first time, he had been rude to his loving daughter. And the incident he had kept behind the wall since her birth slipped out of his tongue with the flow.

With the heavy hangover, in addition with her birth-story as an abort/unwanted child from an illicit relationship from an unmarried girl made her so upset. She just wanted to move away. But, her so-called father tried to stop her. But, the girl strokes him back and got off the scene at midnight.

She was in hangover. She was alone as well. Darkness was there everywhere. She felt lonely, hopeless and was in tear. But she did not want to back home either.

She called up her boyfriend over phone and moved by a car to a flat, which was in a huge skyscraper. She drank more wine along with her boyfriend. Being a bit more emotional with the hangover, she was getting more secure ness being with her boyfriend and explained about her dream to be an actress.
