He booked the best possible hotel in the lush green environs. A dream of many years was finally getting shape. He had saved every penny, meticulously planned & made all the arrangements. His ageing parents never knew the meaning of a vacation! For a middle class family it is a luxury after all!

 The D day arrived.  Amidst laughter & giggles, he took a moment to pause & see his parents really happy. This is probably what they call as success!

 Just then, a gunshot destroyed his world in front of him.  

Shattered & devastated, he could not even cry !

Love,

Chinmayee
