Red roses - Part 3

His injuries caused by early incident was stilI didn't heal. Now with this accident , fresh wounds replaced the old ones, creating more pain. For love, sacrifices such as physical injuries are nothing. He got up with his full body pain. His friend got deep cut on his forehead which affected him mentally. He was worried about his physical appearance though he knew the scar would eventually disappear.

After being satisfied that they were fine, they looked out for the girl. She was nowhere to be seen. Where did she disappear? She was there few minutes ago and now she wasn’t there. Maybe she didn’t realise there was any accident. But she was quite close and people who were far from the scene had surrounded Arjun and his friend to see what had happened. It was surprising that the accident didn’t even catch her slightest attention. Maybe she didn’t like to be social audience to accidents or any social chaos.

Whatever it was, Arjun felt bad that he couldn’t help out his friend. He was so sure that this plan would work. He had tested all the odds. Unfortunately he missed out one small and important thing - his attention on the road. “ If that dumb dog had not come on the way, we would have got the girl!”, he said it out loud. “ Dumb dog!! It was your poor sight that caused all this! If you had been more careful, we would have definitely made it.”, his friend blamed him

It was three am. Lights were still burning in Rohan’s room. He was an ordinary teenager who loved staying up late. His constant checking his neighbour’s business through a telescope had become his recent hobby.  It was humorous sight. Some of his neighbours divulging in naughty activities. Some would be fighting and raising their voices. But one thing that caught his eye was a house located two blocks across a house that was opposite of his.

The lights of that house would be on throughout the night. He would daily see a figure doing something suspicious. However he couldn’t get clear picture of what it was doing. His curiosity increased every day. He wanted to know more about the figure. So he would sometimes stay up late night to see what it was up to.Today was such night. He looked carefully adjusting the vision of his telescope. At last he saw the figure carrying something heavy downstairs. After careful observation he realised it was a man. He couldn’t understand why it was taking the man downstairs.

The man didn’t move or react to any of movements. Was he dead? Maybe it was a murder. He opened his eyes wide. He was witnessing a murder at his neighbourhood. He left his telescope for sometime and called the police. He got back to his business of looking at his neighborhood. He had to get picture of murderer. He adjusted the vision again. It was getting clearer and clearer. Before he could get the clear picture of the figure, the figure appeared itself in the telescope. It had thin sharp tool which looked like larger version of needle. He was petrified by the sight. He couldn’t understand how did figure appear on his telescope. He tried to get his hold off from the telescope. But he couldn’t and felt as if he was stuck to it. When he felt he could release himself, the figure pricked his eyes with that tool. He cried due to pain. Blood poured out of his eyes.
