This story is of Nimboli. What do you think? who is Nimboli? Nimboli is a small and cute girl. Whenever I take her name an image is created in mind. Nimboli- A 12 year’s naughty girl always having questions in her mind and never lasting silence. She is the cutest girl I have ever seen in my life. There are so many more children near my house,but Nimboli was very different from everyone. That’s why I could never forget her. Whenever I used to come back from office and cross the street, she tends to appear from nowhere and hold my hand and shoot her question bank at me. Didi(Another name for sister used in India) this, didi that, Uff! her questions …
Didi why there are 12 months in a year? Okay, didi, I tell you one interesting story, today I watched one movie that was in black and white then i asked to my mother why it is in black and white then my mother told me that before the colored picture came, there used to black and white movies. Then why was my mother was wearing red saree in her marriage. Off ! this Nimboli and her questions One day when I came back from office Nimboli was very quiet and upset. That day Nimboli didn’t speak anything nor asked any question. This made me wonder is she fine?
Has something wrong happened with Nimboli? .I held Nimboli’s hand and took her to my house. I was very tired that day so quickly changed my clothes and make a cup of tea for myself and a glass juice for Nimboli. I gave a storybook to Nimboli and tried to ask what happen to her and why she is very quite today. When she asked’ ” didi does your father beats your mother ?” I was taken aback and said “o”. She said that yesterday night her father hit her mother badly and this happens quite often at her house. I tell her not to think about all this thing and started telling her story from the storybook.
A few days later I was sitting in my balcony and was thinking about Nimboli and her mother; suddenly I heard an ambulance siren and police van. I saw it from my balcony that the crowd had gathered at the corner of my street. Seeing the crowd I started getting down to find out what has happened? when I asked my neighbors a to why there is so much crowd, ambulance, and police? They told me that one young girl and a woman met with an accident but it is said that woman’s husband had killed them. Don’t know what was going in my mind but there was a strange feeling of my heart sinking and in a daze I moved further and tried to see the dead bodies. What i saw i couldn’t believe. The dead bodies were none other than Nimboli and her mother. Her father killed her and her mother because of his doubt . Nimboli’s innocent face is still in front of my eyes . Having a question in my mind who is responsible for her death? Knowing everything I didn’t do anything for Nimboli and for her mother…
