The little boy couldn't sleep that whole night....he tried shifting his bed from one place to another but the sound keeps haunting him incessantly....the sound of a crying women...but where was this sound coming from? He had no clue. His parents went to his aunt's place and he was all alone in the house.
But isn't it something that keeps troubling him every night n made him almost an insomniac...he desperately wants to get out of it...something was killing him from within...he severely wants help but his fears wont allow him to speak and share his pains!!
His parents wont understand him because they beleive no matter how their personal equations are,they have always been good to him and so,everything is perfect at his end.
'He is so silent because he is an introvert'!
His classmates often found him sitting in the corner with a sad face, while they are playing, thumping the desks, teasing each other and enjoying the lunch break! Nobody was ever bothered to ask him if he has any problem because they are so convinced with each other while saying, "arre use rehne do, yeh aisa hi hai!"
His mentors also found him a sincere and an innocent student.
The irony was that his such positive social feedback suppressed him even more as all the doors for the much needed outlet were already shut! Nobody could ever feel his fading smile and questioning eyes, leave aside his bruised mind!
He undergoes that pain each moment and no element in the society can ever help him, because supposedly he is one of the perfect kids every parent want....obedient, well-mannered and such a cutie pie!
For once to be thought, couldn't he have led a normal childhood, had he chose to speak up his mind??!
Had he chose to shout and complain about how his father tortures his mother everyday! Had he chose to tell everyone how his mother keeps weeping behind those closed doors that another day! Had he chose to be brave enough to take her mother out of all this mess, rather than being a silent and unnoticed witness! But how?
No school course ever taught him to deal with such situations! No parenting ever allowed him to go against family! No laws ever provided him any security...mental or physical, to gather that courage within and protest!
Though with the changing times, women are being provided with some measures under domestic violence act but with what releif to such 'never existing' witnesses! His childhood was snatched from him,without ever being noticed!! But why??
Was it all about his choices??
