Heart touching story of a dumb boy 2

That incident evaporated from my mind as quickly as it occurred. Time pulled over its usual blanket of past upon me to totally preoccupy myself with my job.My life went on as monotonously as before but that incident still left an unrecoverable impression somewhere which brought an infinitesimal growth in my attitude.It ignited an attachment for the kindness which I could feel in my behavior towards our subjects.Time rolled by with its own pace nearing me to the final destination but leaving an upgrade every day.

But one day fate played its own role. In my way to work in the middle of a morning daily market, I saw him again.The situation was not the same this time.The scene was a completely different one today. Unlike the earlier ones this time our acquaintance was going to had lots of viewers.He was being interrogated this time by some policemen and he seemed to be utterly serious and uncomfortable to deal with them.I stopped there to take a look at the case happening, along with the other common folks in the crowd. This time too the boy didn't at all seem to have improved in his conditions his beards and hair grew horribly longer making the path for an inevitable questioning. He seemed to wear a new torn shirt this time.After standing there for a little while I could sense that whatever questions he was being asked he couldn't reply but instead only made gestures in response.It took no time for me to sense that he along with his dumbness also had problems in hearing.As his gestures didn't match with the expected replies.I felt pity for his disability. Thought how can God be so unfair, but the same was not visible in the actions of those policemen. They just were making fun of him and found the sounds he produced to be a perfect piece of comedy.Not only them the crowd too gave a heartily laugh for his actions.Just for enjoyment one of the policemen even gave a hard blow in his head and made him fall down on the street.I wanted to help him out from that condition but my position and status couldn't bear to do that.I didn't have any say in that crowd and overall I could never bear being the center of attraction and a butt of a joke in such a gathering.So I just let that to continue, I was handcuffed by my own nature and position that time.Thus giving preference to my all time favorite escaping nature and subduing whatever bit of kindness I had, I started to retreat, leaving him in his condition.But I think fate demanded something else, it didn't allow me such an easy escape.The unwanted finally happened. That boy finally got a glance at me. Our eyes met.There wasn't a single sound uttered but it shouted out all his emotions to me.His eyes appealed for a return for that help.The eyes carried a glitter of comfort, a glow of satisfaction for having someone known nearby when he first saw me.He saw me and gave me an innocent smile which I can prove was enough to judge his purity of soul.His smile contained a firm confidence for someone's care, a help that the person deserved.That might have been the last moment that soul had faith in humanity.It might have been the end of his trust in humanity, kindness and sympathy, the privilege of whose possession is enjoyed by the most advanced and developed species on earth. I don't know how and when just in a matter of time I made up my mind and just let him suffer in there all alone.I never know how and when my footsteps retreated from that place to my normal monotonous life disconnecting, all my relations with humanity.The next thing that boy might have seen was just my back.There still lied a thrust within which pressed me hard to help him out but I ignored everything.Who knew by then that that single mistake would just ruin the rest of my life in regret.
