Blogchatter A2Z: Lynching

In the budding spring, Valentine's was around the corner. Karan was in love with his girlfriend, Kiara. Their love has been blossoming for the past three years, and they decided to celebrate Valentine's week on a high and happy note. Also, they fixed to break the news to their families after Valentine's Day.

On the morning of 14th February, Karan went to verify the arrangements for the surprise for Kiara. It was a private beach set up in a cottage. Near the water body, on the golden sand, lay a canopy in pastel colors, offering a dreamy and romantic ambiance. A passage with rose petals spread on it for Kiara to walk the isle towards the canopy where he arranged cake and bouquet for her. Karan planned the proposal for the night, so there were fairy lights on the bamboo of the canopy and candles by the side of rose petals of the passage towards the canopy.


Karan wondered about the night beauty of the arrangement and Kiara's reaction to the surprise. When he was daydreaming about her, his phone rang. Karan smiled on seeing Kiara's call. As he picked up the call, there was tension on the other side. Kiara was sobbing and finding it difficult to speak, as if somebody was forcing her to inform Karan of something grave. He panicked and asked her where she was and ran to drive her way.


Kiara cried and told him she could not meet him in the evening. Karan asked her the reason, but the phone disconnected. Worried, Karan tried to track her location through an application he installed in Kiara and his phone. Within a few minutes, Karan found her spot and drove there. As he reached the place, he realized the place looked known. After recalling, Karan figured it was Kiara's home. Before he could step back or forth, somebody from behind hit him. He could not notice the attacker as he fell on his knees, struggling to find balance, wailing in pain.


The group beat Karan recklessly. He kept pleading for his life, but they kept hitting him. When Karan was about to get unconscious, the mask of one of the attackers slipped, and he noticed the attacker was Kiara's cousin's brother. They circled and attacked him with rods, chains, and legs wherever they could. Karan held his head in screeching pain when another hit of his head made him fall with his face slamming into the ground.


Hearing the noise, Kiara came out, finding Karan in helpless condition. She pulled his face onto her lap and tried to bring him into his consciousness, but one of the attackers, who was his brother, grabbed her and dragged her inside the house. Kiara cried for help and tried to free herself from her brother's grip. But she could not.

She shouted at her mom, "You always do this to me. See, now I will be late again to school because of you."  Mrs Dixit, a woman in her mid-forties enduring her kid's lashes and tantrums, became habitual of the fact no matter how much she tried, they would always blame her for their mistakes. But that morning was different. She walked off before her younger daughter, who misbehaved with her. Sheenu, a teenager and Mrs. Dixit's younger daughter was more moody and repulsive in accepting anything against her wishes. Every morning, she would wake up late, even after multiple trials by her mother, to wake her and start the fiasco of blaming her mother. "Oh! Poor kid, why don't you get ready? There is still time. You will make it," her mother prompted.  It irritated Sheenu even more. She mumbled how her mother could behave as if nothing happened. She started throwing things she could get hold of. Bucket, mug, reaching to the kitchen, turning off the gas, tellin

The school bell rang, and the students ran towards the assembly ground. It was time for morning assembly, and it was the eighth standard students' turn to host. The commander led the assembly, and all students prayed in chorus, with teachers monitoring students. After assembly, the students moved to their classes.
