The Story of HE !!!

Depressed with the proceedings of the last couple of weeks he was still not in the state of mind to accept that all members of his family had been wiped away in a single yet fatal blow of time with the recent blast that had taken place in the city mall.
A silent tear ran down his cheek at the moment when he remembered that how some days back he was sitting next to his mom along with his sister and his two years old brother and he was teasing his sister who was about to be engaged and then at once burst into tears when he saw a flashback with open eyes of the horrific blast which in a fatal blow along with his family had wiped away many other families.
It was a clear day and he had just given his exams and was free and preparing for his sister’s engagement, when his mom asked him to take them to the city mall because they had to get some groceries because soon the influx of the guest would start in a couple of days and it would be hard then to go out of house for shopping purposes.
He was reluctant to go because a match between Pakistan and India was being telecast of the live and Pakistani batsmen for a change were on the top but yet his mother persuaded him to get up and pick up the car keys and he obeyed her command. He took the car out of the garage and in sometime his mother came out along with his sister and their little brother and they drove towards the mall.
Upon reaching the mall he asked him mom if he could pay a visit to a friend who lived by while they would shop around and got the permission, he arrived at his friend place and spend sometime with him. After receiving a call from his mother he got into his car and then drove towards the city mall.
He had just taken a right turn towards the mall that a huge blast took place and the mall that been standing there in moment was shattered and caught fire he was in his car some distance away but he also felt the blast as the main wind screen of his car broke with realizing much he yelled “Mother” and with all the bruises of the shattered glass he drove as fast as he could towards the mall by the time he reached a lot of people had gather to safe the injured or to take away the bodies of the deceased, it was in a frantic shocked that he was in he did not realize that he had jumped out of a running car and did not even bother to park it but ran straight towards the entrance as some men tried to stop him he yelled, “I have my family in there let me” and they let loose so if he had any survivor he could take them away.
As he reached the blast place it was like if the mall has been painted in red, with blood all over the place. Bodies, heads, hands were lying as if someone had put a brutal human show for Hannibal’s he was shouting at all the might he had and looking here and while wiping the blood of his face and eyes so that he could see properly and then with a shock he say his little brother lying in a single piece but taking his last breaths, the moment he reached and picked him up he died in his hands with his eyes wide open and his face bloody red.
He screamed like if someone had pierced his heart out of his chest and laid his body to aside to look for others. He was moving now swiftly through the bodies and looking to find some way or the other his mother and sister he was totally not in his senses but still trying hard to concentrate while taking a turn he bumped into a half body and yelled like he would not live for another moment it was the body of his sister.
Trying to muster his strength to take her away, lost it completely when he saw his mother close by with her body in a pool of blood in such a way that he could not utter a single thing as he reached there he set aside the body of his sister and walked slowly towards the place where his mothers body was lying and then sat there beside it for a moment, took her head into his lap cleared her face which by the time was not really able to be recognized but he still he wiped away the blood and then cried like a baby for moments to follow.
After which he mustered the last ounce of courage that he had in his body that had already been weakened and gathered all the three bodies with tears dripping like rain from his eyes and tried to take them out of the mall and in mean time some rescuers heard the agonizing cries and came to help him with the bodies but as they came he was crying as if there would be no tomorrow and talking to his mother’s body that he did not let anyone touch and was carrying her as he fainted.
He woke up after three days of the time he had fainted to see his father by this side and jumped towards him and then started crying like a baby again and asking his father that no one was alive anymore his little brother, his to be engaged sister and his heaven had left him for ever.
This is just a single story of the many families that have been ruined because of the bomb blasts and suicidal attacks. Will people ever learn to commit themselves to a cause which would bring a positive change not through violence but through peace?
