"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
A blood-curdling scream echoed in the air, going far beyond the metal walls of the shipping container. "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!"
Suyin remained seated on the wooden chair, embracing Honey in her arms as she lulled him to sleep by giving soft and gentle pats on back. Her expression remained soft as she marvelled Honey's fairy like features, occasionally kissing his soft cheeks.
It was a scary scene to watch. On one side a man was being brutally tortured to death~ sound of bones crushing was heard, blood and watery liquid oozed out from the wounds rubbed with salt; while on the other the woman had not even flinched or raised her eyes up as if she had turned deaf to the heart-wrenching screams. All she did was keep her eyes on the little boy in arms.
She was the living epitome of two different sides of a woman. Love and destruction. She can be both~ a mother, and a destroyer.
Happy Holi readers!
May you have the most blessed Holi with family and friends. Though it's impossible to play Holi with colours, courtesy corona, but we can always play it with sweets, love, and lots of virtual hugs.
Have a safe Holi.
