Langa walked happily not noticing anybody and without realizing Ravi picked up an iron rod and followed him in back alley. It was deserted in the afternoon and the sunlight was also dim due to thick cover of trees above. Langa walked oblivious to his presence and was whistling and jumping with joy. With every passing moment Ravi was losing his control, the naked image of him between the legs of his wife flashed before his eyes. Without thinking he raised his hand and swung the iron rod.
“Ahhhhhhh….” Langa’s chilling scream shook the quite neighborhood and along with the scream he can clearly hear the horrifying noise of cracking of his skull. Langa fell face down on the road and blood started to gush out of the wound, spreading on the street.
“Oh God!!!’ He realized what has happened as he looked at the motionless body of Langa, ‘he will die,’ he shivered. Then he heard a door banged opened and someone shouted, “What happened?” Ravi traced his foot back and ran in the opposite direction, as fast as he can. He didn’t stop running until he reached the main road and threw the rod into the grasses. Without looking back, he walked quickly towards his office.
Breathlessly he took a glass of water and sat down in his chair. After couple of minutes he started to think about his situation, ‘has anybody seen him hitting Langa? will he die?’ He trembled with fear and remorse as he realized that he didn’t want to hurt anybody but if he dies no one will believe him and also the infidelity of his wife will be known to everyone. He found his situation glum.
