P P Point of view
I woke up
by the high pitch sound
of the door bell
of my apartment
in which I settled down yesterday
to love all by myself in peace
and to study to my heart's content
as I'm a college student
to found myself
on my study table
in which I slept for the last 3 hours.
I went to open the door
as I found an old man
looking very angry
standing in front of me
with a electric bill in hiss hand.
"Could you do me a favor
and give this electric bill
to your neighbour next door?"
"Why anything wrong?"
"I've been ringing
their door bell
for 3 hours now
but no one is answering
even though the door
is locked from inside.
I can't just wait here forever
I have more work to do.
So do me this favour."
"Ok no problem."
I took the electric bill
from his hand
and in a blink of an eye
he ran to do his next work
as he muttered a thank you.
I went to my
next door neighbour's
apartment and
rang the door bell.
I waited for quite a long time
but no one answered.
I frowned
and thought that
there must be
someone inside
as yesterday when
I was moving in
I saw a man
a bit older than me
with a ring
on his ring finger
rang the door bell
of this apartment
and a woman
opened the door
whose face
I didn't catch a glimpse of.
I panicked as
I thought of the
martial violence cases
going on
here and there
and started ringing
the door bell
frustratingly
when an old woman
came to me frowning
as she asked me.
"What's wrong?"
"I've been ringing the door bell
for quite a long time now
but no one is answering
even though I'm pretty sure
that there's someone inside
as the door is locked from inside."
"What!?
Why didn't you call us
earlier!?
Don't you know
this ill fated wife's
husband comes every night
and beats her up
and leaves every morning
before we could catch him!?
He's such a monster.
His pleasure is in
beating his wife.
You should've called us
sooner."
The woman shouted
in a high pitch voice
as people of the apartment
started to gather.
After some more
ringing bell
and knocking hardly
they decided to break the door
and they did
as they said.
They ran inside
as the door break open
to reveal a
person
laying on her own
pool of blood.
I was about to leave
as I didn't wanted
to involve myself
in this
but then the old woman
beside me pushed
her way inside
and as the crowd
parted to give her
a path to proceed
and I finally
caught a glimpse
of that woman.
My blood ran cold
and my whole body
trembled
as I recognized
the beauty mark
on her lifeless
beautiful face.
I ran inside pushing away
everyone on my way
like a mad person
as everyone
frowned at me
and said some
annoying words
but at that time
all my attention
was on that woman
just to confirm
if that was her,
that person
whom I saw
for the last time
in the school,
that person
whom I struggled
to confess my feelings to
but I never succeeded,
that person who
was married
3 months ago
making my heart break,
that person
whom I loved
for my whole
teenage years.
