There is complete silence still prevailing over the common whereas Robin is sitting still like a statue with a wet face, soaked eyes, frightened expressions, a cushion in her hands, her knees bent and her eyes freezed over Sunnie's face. She seems curious to know what happens next.
Sunnie rejoins and speaks while supporting her head with his hand, "Saim further told Tiger that "We hurriedly took Lavisa to the nearby hospital along with your mother in the ambulance. My father also approached us to help us. We were young and neither wise enough nor able to manage such conditions at our own risk, that's why Smartie called his father also. The heart attack of your mother was severe but the doctors said she was sent to the hospital on time. Though she remained in the ICU for the whole night. Consequently, she was admitted for further two days in the hospital to recover but she was internally depressed about her sudden half-dead condition and considered herself as a burden along with her young daughter's condition, also about her ruined peace of life. Since that day, Lavisa is deaf and dumb and Lubreshia is managing all the responsibilities and household affairs." As soon as his words ended, he perceived a consistent flow of tears over his face. Tiger seemed entirely broken, although he was a very strong and lion-hearted man. I never saw a man crying in such a way. He seemed as if he had lost all of his strength."
"But Smartie supported him and said enthusiastically "We are your strength! My friend, We are here to help you at our best!" Suddenly, Lavisa was seen standing at the door steps of the room. Tiger moved closer to her, knelt down, kissed her forehead, and said firmly with lots of love in his every single word "Lavisa! My dear! I am here to take your revenge and I have made up my mind."
"Lavisa was deaf, she could not hear and hence didn't get what he was saying but she nodded her head as she was trying to say yes. Tiger could not resist his tears and he did let many channels of his internal ocean shed away through his bloodshot eyes. Still peering at Lavisa's face, he suddenly asked an alarming question that was about Tim, his fourth friend. Saim turned astounded and astonished along with the confusion about whether he should tell him the truth or just let go with telling a fake story. But we couldn't lie to Tiger."
"He told him the truth about Tim, "Tim betrayed all of us because he works as a share partner with your father in drug smuggling. It was certainly unbelievable for us that he left helping and even meeting us and went out to your father and joined him." Tiger turned red as if he was unable to believe the truth. The fluency of his blood became faster, making him more enthusiastic and giving him an intense feeling of revenge. After the passage of a couple of silent minutes, he abruptly spoke with his tightened lips which internally thrilled Saim, "I will set the whole world on fire, not leaving any of them!"
"I remember, that time Smartie and I were busy with Julian's dead body but we knew that Saim would have told him the entire story. I myself saw him going down to the store room, where he prepared a bag and placed all the required accessories in that bag as if he was preparing himself for a violent and intense mission. Afterwards he turned his way back to his mother."
"As soon as he went closer to her, he firmly held both of his mother's hands and spoke kindly, "My Mum! Alas! I should not have left you. If I had not gone, everything might have been normal, perhaps…" His mother briskly patted her hand over his head and repeated her usual sentence "Don't worry, my Tiger! You are back, my son! My son is indeed as strong and brave as a Tiger!"
"Tiger lowered his head and wept endlessly. Smartie stood by the door with his head lowered. His eyes were also wet and tears were shedding like a chain of beads. Smartie suddenly caught the sight that Lubreshia was looking at Julian's dead body when we were taking her out to the graveyard. He didn't feel good and hence, he sent her to her room where Lavisa was also sitting. He shut the door of their room for a short period of time. When we got free after burying her, he unlocked the room again. That task obviously took time and real manly courage. We didn't let Tiger see her dead body again because it was really gut-wrenching."
"As soon as we got free, we all went to his mother's room, where Tiger was sleeping deep and peacefully with his wet face and soaked eyes in his mother's lap. As she got to perceive us, she passed a pleasant smirk at us mirthfully, expressing her tranquil experience and patting us with love through her weakly half-opened eyes enlightened with hope. We considered it better to stay in another room which was Tiger's own room and there we discussed what we needed to do and fabricated a delight plan. It was about destroying the whole business of his father but not killing anyone. We were so enthusiastic that we were not even afraid of our parents. We felt really sad for our lovely friend. Also, all of us have cared for one another since when we were born."
"So, Tiger awoke at almost 8:00pm and walked into our room. He was himself astonished over how he fell asleep because he was too constrained but … it was a mother's lap, My dear! The most peaceful heaven ever exists on earth! His face was still exhibiting the same anger and enthusiasm like how it possessed before he slept. He neither said nor listened to anything. The only act he proceeded calmly was just he turned and kissed his sisters' forehead, then he went to take his bag, wore a bulletproof jacket, then glanced at us. We felt as if he was asking about our decision and certainly we all followed him and went out of the house. Smartie offered his car to be used by Tiger. He accepted the offer and we went to the same building which was once set on fire by Tiger. That building was still under consideration to store drugs. Saim and I entered the building from the backside, while Tiger and Smartie kept sitting in the car. We spilled oil everywhere and threw a fire match."
"Consequently, the building was set on fire once again with sprinkles of flames everywhere. We swiftly ran out of the building, the same way we entered. Smartie was sitting on the driving seat but Tiger asked him to handle the steering wheel himself. As soon as we sat in the car, Tiger proceeded to drive the car at a dead swift speed to a little town that was far apart from the city. There was a brief community and seemed as if the multitude of dealers was gathered over there except Mr. Thomson who was not present there. He might have received the fire news and gone to the storehouse. Tiger disclosed his presence fearlessly and commenced to fire here and there.
A person shot him from his backside but luckily he was wearing a bulletproof jacket; however, he didn't get hurt and kept moving forward recklessly. Everybody left their business and began to peer at him surprisingly but they could not see his face because his back was directed towards them and his face was veiled also. People tried to shoot him nearly 6 to 7 times with their valiant bullets but he was dissuaded. They considered him as if he was a spook because all of them became frightened of his presence. He picked up another gun from one of the boxes and flung all the other boxes which were catching fire flames here and there. The fire was making its way speedily, engulfing every obstruction coming in its way. All three of us kept sitting in the car and turned damn frightened when we perceived him coming to the car with a machine gun in his right hand. He sat in the car and ordered Smartie to drive back to his house quickly."
"As we approached back, we found the door opened. Tiger ran up to his mother, and we also followed him. Both of the sisters were sitting near his mother. Tiger asked them about the arrival of Mr. Thomson."
"She said "Yes, he came! But he seemed more astounded and astonished as compared to his usual anger. I am worried because I think he has forgotten you. He is doubtful about his enemies. Suddenly his phone rang, it was an emergency call I guess, that's why he went away steadily."
"There was complete silence prevailed over the room, after she had spoken. We glanced at one another's face asking multiple questions via our eyes. Suddenly, the sounds of my phone call rung up the room. It was an unknown number so I didn't receive the call but it was ringing again and again and hence Tiger asked me to receive the call."
"On the phone, someone said in a very slow and shivering voice, "Run away! Save your life! Runaway with your family and move to a safer place."
"We were astonished. I thought that it was an organized plan to kill us but Tiger didn't waste even a second and ordered us to leave the building as fast as we could. He himself carried his mother out of the building whereas Saim picked Lavisa on his back and we all ran behind Tiger but …"
Sunnie closes his eyes, letting multiple tears to drop from his eyes then continues,
"Unfortunately … a bomb fell in front of us. It was at most six feet away from Lubreshia. Tiger and his mother were next to Lubreshia. Saim and Lavisa, on his back, stood behind them. While Smartie and I were in the last. The bomb blasted before touching the ground and we fell away. All four of us were wearing bulletproof jackets and veiled our faces by plastic masks since when we went to set the building on fire to avoid smoke and poisonous smell but Lubreshia … unfortunately, we didn't see her again. We all fell unconscious and When I got into my senses, everything was burnt and everybody was seen unconscious except Saim and Lubreshia. Saim's jacket caught fire and he was trying to remove it using his hands to strike over that ceaselessly whereas Lavisa had fallen closer to him with her back burning too. I hurriedly awoke Tiger and Smartie and we all swiftly proceeded with getting our positions back. Tiger began to act like a child when he saw his mother, who had fallen unconscious. He was calling his mother again and again instead of finding a way to go outside. He was crying aloud. While Smartie and I ran here and there to find the way to go outside."
Robin seems to have tears in her eyes, tending to drop and has covered her mouth with her hands. "This is … Alas! How sad! I can't control my emotions."
Sunnie bows forward slowly and speaks in a low voice, "One thing I am going to tell you is not known by most of the people including Heartless himself, that is, when we were looking for the way outside, I saw a … little innocent (He speaks in a low and quavering voice) … I saw a little innocent hand wearing the "lovely sister" bracelet which was gifted to Lubreshia by Smartie on her birthday."
Robin progresses with a brief low yell produced involuntarily while covering her face with her hands. Complete silence prevails over the common letting the deep sighs of Robin audible.
Sunnie continues to speak while sighing with stress, "I am translating this story from experiences into words for the first time in my life and feeling the same pain for the second time with the same intensity… (silence) Well! Smartie found the way to go out and advised all of us to run out from that way. The people gathered outside ,from the neighborhood, were spilling water with the help of pipes and buckets to extinguish the fire. My father was also there and the fathers of Smartie and Saim too. They were worried about us with their eyes searching for our living bodies. Tiger, with his mother, was the first to go outside. Saim with Lavisa on his back went out when Smartie placed his jacket over her back. Smartie and I held one another's hands and were almost ready to depart but it was impossible for me to gather enough courage to pass through that congested way but Smartie encouraged me and we made our way out. I saw my father standing who was looking for me."
"He hugged me tightly when I ran to him. Ambulances were approached timely. Lavisa and her mother were carried by ambulance to the hospital. Smartie and Tiger went with them. Blood was consistently flowing from the nose of his mother. Smartie examined her heartbeat which had stopped but he kept quiet and didn't say a word. Tiger came to know that later, from the doctors whereas Lavisa was severely injured. She was in the emergency ward. Saim and I approached the hospital later. We saw Tiger sitting on the chair and Smartie stood near him."
"Smartie told us about the sad news of his mother's death and Lavisa's severe surgery. I remember… I remember that when I patted his shoulder, how forcefully and angrily he shook my hand away, stood up, went to the car, and sat in it. Saim asked us to follow him, whereas he himself stayed in the hospital. Smartie and I followed him using the Saim's car but we neither stopped him nor asked anything. He was driving the car at the highest of its speed. He drove hastily to particular houses; he might have known them. He knocked on the door, and entered violently. All we heard was just the sounds of the gunshots and then the wails of the people. He began killing people which really horrified us. We were too frightened and shivering. He was killing whole families including women and even little children. We were too frightened about his crime and his abnormal condition but his face was not possessing any expression."
"I think he knew the addresses of those people and what those people were to his father, they might have worked for his father. We all knew that he used to ransack the documents of his father in his absence. Well! He went to nearly twenty to twenty-two houses and destroyed them all, killing everyone. Then he approached somewhere in a quiet silent and deadly dark area around the forest. There was nothing more than a little rabble, like a little community of valorous people entertaining themselves as a little gathering . He drove the car between the people, piercing the crowd, and struck them with his car, proceeding with their deaths. He kept the gun in the opened window of the car and kept shooting many of them. It was a sudden attack for them and hence they were unable to manage. Afterwards, he stepped out of the car and shot many of them fearlessly, standing as a lion-heart, with no worries of being shot by someone else's valiant bullet. We parked the car at a little bit distance from them but kept sitting in the car. We heard the screams and cries of the people who were calling Tiger as HEARTLESS. Very few of them were left alive, though they were severely injured. Tiger went close to one of them and sat on foot."
"The man spoke in a quavering voice, "How heartless are you? Why are you doing all this?"
"We clearly heard the wrathful words of Tiger and it was the first time we actually came to know about his feelings.. "I am Tiger! I will kill all the fathers of the world! I will kill all the smiles and delights of the world. He killed my sisters; I will kill all the sisters of the world. He killed my mother! I will kill all the mothers of the world. I will not leave anyone, even to mourn one's death. I will set the whole world on fire!!" As soon as he completed his statement, he proceeded to shoot nearly six to seven bullets into his body, savagely. Progressing backward ,he stood and turned back and suddenly he caught the sight of us sitting in the car and hence came to know that he had been followed."
"For a moment, I thought that he would kill us too but he ignored us and sat back in the car and drove at the same dead swift speed. It was becoming difficult for us to follow him further because his speed was fierce and also Smartie was calling us on the phone continuously. Out of fear, our hands were frozen. We were too confused about what to do next. I thought to call my dad but I didn't because he would think about my safety instead of thinking about his pain! Well! Smartie received Saim's call who told him that Lavisa is well. Turning delightful, we tried our best to call Tiger and tell him about this wonderful news but … as you know, everything happens for our own good. He didn't receive the call and instead we perceived him entering into a castellated building but he parked his car far away from that. He valiantly stepped out of the car with his gun in one of his hands and shot everyone he saw."
