"Where have you been ? i thought u wouldn't come back. i thought u found new places to beg", Rayappan said facing a 16 year old girl and a 3 year old boy... The children were all dressed up in rags..dark and dull...all covered in mud..and hair all brown n dirty.. Both of them looked extremely tired...The boy still had a twinkle in his eyes. But the girl's eyes were just two dark circles.. "your stomach is full...looks like you have eaten your heart full u merciless creature... your brother is starving to death." Rayappan shouted on the girl ," Come here child. Let me give you something to eat". The boy went inside and ate the pieces of bread rayappan gave him... the girl sat on the floor looking all tired ...
It was night. The children sat in the platform. A train passed by and it set up the girl's dirty brown hair to sway in the wind. "I m feeling hungry", the boy said. Hearing this the girl took the boy in her lap and began to breastfeed him. "leave some for the baby,kanna", she said stroking her protruded belly. In the moonlight a tear drop twinkled in her eye.
Sun shone with all its might onto her eyes..still she didn't move...The boy cried aloud"Amma, amma...".. but she didnt move.. Flies settled down on her cheeks and licked away the tears.. still she didn't move.Somewhere in a hospital a baby cried. "Congratulations Mr.Panicker. You have a girl child".
good....
