The area was surrounded by explosions. Within Seconds gun shots were heard everywhere. The silent environment. was completely changed into a noisy polluted area. It was passed mid-night. The villagers were in their sleep unbothered and unaware about their tragedy. They never knew what happened as the action was so sudden most of them never noticed they died while they were asleep. It was a group of terrorists of the previously formed Organization. The heartless men burned houses and shot at people killing them in their sleep. Some were shot , some were burned alive.
The sudden commotion awoke Dheeran and his little brother Saran. Their parents were already awakened. Lucky for them as the people who lived in the far end of the village, they were able to take action. Dheeran's mother came to Aira, their little baby sister who was now crying. She comforted the little toddler and gave her to Saran. He held the toddler tight until she was soundly sleeping again.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3VC2nJZIb
" You three hide inside the cupboard! Go! Quickly!" Their mother yelled as the three children went inside.
The three cuddled inside the cupboard barely making a sound. The outside world was like a hell now. There were screams and gun shots. People were shouting. Their heart beats were thumping loudly inside. Smoke was Covering everywhere making them difficult to breath. They were fortunate enough as a burst of rain emerged extinguishing everything. The reactions were so sudden within seconds, within minutes everything was Completely silent.
Dheeran opened the cupboard and took a glimpse outside. He instructed his brother to stay until he come back. He wriggled through and came out and saw a completely ruined world. His house was burned out. It is hardly to recognize. He came outside and saw bodies motionless lying flat. Blood was scattered everywhere. He saw his mother holding her breath.
"Ma ..." Dheeran came towards her. He started to cry. Tears falling to the ground.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPeWcckwEn
"Dhee! protect your siblings. Go towards the South until you are under protected hands...'13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmM6jGqlpo
His mother held her last breath to tell this to her child coughing up blood. "Maaa......." Dheeran completely broken down, Cried and Cried. The eleven-year-old had to bear a huge responsibility on protecting his own siblings. He had to keep his mother's words and not letting down their hope. They sacrificed themselves to their own children. His ten- year-old brother and the three-year-old toddler, They might be the only survivors in their village. The Complete village has turned into a grave itself.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC4ugTifCy
The day was already arrived. The sun was in the usual position. But the atmosphere was completely changed. Led by Dheeran, they Came out of their village. South? Where is South? How on the earth they'd find South? The Children were Completely lost. Without a knowledge about anything they decided to go to the next village. Which was quite far away.
While they were walking, they never met a Single soul until they encounter a soldier wearing a red band in his hand. Nothing seemed unusual. The man held a weird smile and spoke out,
"Survivor? Not a single soul in that damn village will survive." The man gave out an evil laugh and at the children.
Dheeran didn't had a time to think. The children froze in place. They were shivering. Dheeran closed his eyes and stood as a cover in front of his sister and brother.
A gun shot was heard and also a huge thud. Dheeran opened his eyes again and he was confused to find he was still alive. The man had collapsed and dead. He looked around and his face lit up when he saw a familiar face. "kayalvizhi!" He shouted out and ran towards her. His brother holding Aira also followed him. The two of them hugged each other. kayalvizhi was the eldest of the family of six. She was taken away by the organization a year ago as a soldier who works under them. All the siblings were united again.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67lkY4nj8l
"Ma? Pa?" She asked. Dheeran slowly shook his head. kayalvizhi understood at once. Tears were flowing on and on. She asked,
"Where are you going?"
"Ma told last to go towards the South until we are under protected hands." Dheeran said to her. She understood at once and gestured them to follow quietly.
"There is a long way until you are under protected hands... You have to be careful..." She instructed.
After a long walk they came to a road crossing the forest. A small lorry was coming by from a distant. Kayalvizhi stopped it. The driver frightened seeing a soldier stopped at once. She let the three of them to board the lorry where some people were already there.
"I Can't Come with you. You have to find your own way towards south. I am already a wasted." kayalvizhi Said to them as they departed.
Tears were flowing in them as the siblings had to be separated again. Inside the back of the small lorry there were many old people and also women. They gave them a small space to sit. There was an old woman who was staring at with a little grin. She saw that the three was very hungry and devastated and she gave each of them a small portion of buns to them. The children ate it13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehK9cL9kg
quickly.
The old woman became friendly with them. She understood the children's present situation by talking with them. They cheered each other by talking. They were going on miles and miles. There were rows of palm trees and except for them the complete land seemed to be deserted. Everything was dry and less lively.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNdTWcVdY
After a long time they were reaching to a check point of the enemy. This areas of the north were completely under taken by the organization, which people have to suffer badly because of their brutal action. The country which was once united was broken into two because of action of politics and various powerful individuals. The forces of the country still on the process of destroying the organization, didn't succeed yet. The power of both armies are equal but the organization is weaker when compared to the armies of the country which one day it is clear they Could win and reunite the country
When they were reaching towards the check point, the old woman suddenly exclaimed,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUPPQBC4dU
"Oh! You boys Can't be like this. They will take you away! 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpLoCMVZUx
Quick! put on these clothes, and cover yourselves."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtfRwI1eg
The old woman gave two Sets of frocks and a long cloth which was mostly like a hijab. The two boys quickly put it on. They were disguised as Muslim girls now. Because they were reaching towards a Muslim town the soldiers won't suspect them.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcZWgtq01v
Boys at their age were forcefully taken away by the enemy to train them as Soldiers. They were taken and also brainwashed to make them work13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHMLAfyewV
and serve for them. Dheeran's Sister sacrificed herself for them without being taken away.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzEQtxntcO
At the checkpoint the adult ID's were checked and afterwards they were set off. They didn't suspect the boys and the old woman claimed they were her grandchildren. All of them crossed the barrier and entered the town and stopped for the night. The two boys greatly thanked the old woman who protected them. She gave a small smile filled with Sorrow.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0mXT0RiFH
"It is not me who you need to thank but of course my granddaughter. She is no more. My own daughter and her, were killed by those nasty heartless tigers. I came this journey without a meaning till you three came. I can protect you and I will come with you with your mission."
The old woman expressed her sorrow to them tears filled in her wrinkled face.
The night went normally without any problems. All of them had a good meal and in the morning again they got on to a tractor. They had an understanding where they must go as they got correct instructions from people towards the path to South. The boys were again disguised in their Muslim13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMMFBGHamM
girls outfits.
The trip was a very long one. The blazing sun made everyone feel awful as they were sweating. They were like passing a dessert as the surrounding was completely lifeless. Sometimes they saw dead rotten bodies along the road which were now meals for crows, and other carnivores.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkazuP74Ur
They were coming closer to another checkpoint the middle of nowhere. The enemy soldiers stopped the vehicle and instructed all to get off. They checked thoroughly at their ID s and all when one soldier came near Saran who was holding the three-year-old toddler, took a very good stare at him.
Without telling anything the man snatched away the toddler from Saran. Saran tried to pull her back but in the process the man pulled out the shawl and reveal the person's true identity. "Saran, Aira!", Dheeran also came to pull the toddler who was crying due to the sudden disturbance.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOGmPs8Xpq
" Oh! Who do we have here. Two boys pretending as girls, ah? Did you think you can fool me from your filthy tricks? Ah?" The man roared with laughter.
He tried to pulled the two boys aside who were resisting to go with him. The old woman came in the middle of them defending the children but the poor old thing had to face her fate unexpectedly as the other soldier nearby raised his weapon and shot at her. The bullet pierced right through the old woman's heart shredding blood every where. She coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. Within seconds it was only her motionless old body lying on the ground.
The children were in horror. They were breathing heavily. They weren't able to believe their eyes. Someone who badly cared about them was killed in front of their very own eyes.
The rest of the passengers went off on the tractor while the children were forced inside the small house nearby by the soldiers. Dheeran was completely troubled by the the scene which unfolded in front of them. The lifeless body wasn't even removed by anyone. It was just there where it was left to rot.
The two boys were told to remove their disguises and also any weapon available. Then they were pushed inside a small cage and was locked. The two of them were completely broken down to tears. They hardly notice there was another lifeless body inside the place. He was covered with bruises.
At night the soldier came inside. He seemed to be as if he was drunken badly, He opened the cell and grabbed saran out of it and threw him hardly hitting the wall. Then little boy groaned in pain. The man held on to a13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7xWur4c23
baton and hit the boy hard. The boy helplessly cried in pain. He was also bleeding.
Suddenly a loud sound erupted and the man collapsed to the ground turned unconscious. The small boy was saved in time or else he might not be able to survive. "Dhee.." the boy ran and hugged his brother tightly. His savior was none other than Dheeran. The boy has taken the advantage and slipped out of the cell and also attacked the man from a Steel pipe turning him down.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QIqK8Hby
Dheeran ripped his shirt off and covered the wounds of his brother by tying the cloth around them. They grabbed Aira and carefully slipped out of the house without alarming the other man outside.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRONVrmAnj
They ran along the road with the help of the rays of the moon as it showed the path. There was no one else to protect them. They only have themselves and they must reach their destination bearing every risk....
