She started to tremble... I stared her continuously to look wether she is trembling in fear or something else. Her eyes were fixed on some direction and I looked there to find nothing abnormal rather than a tourist bus which was almost started moving...

She closed her mouth where she almost released some sobs... I panicked looking at her state... May be she is there sending her closed ones in that bus? ... I started making many possible options to match her situation... I took steps towards her to console her...

I sat beside her and noticed that her cell phone was continuously ringing and she was fiddling with her dupatta without answering her phone call... She hasn't noticed me beside her ... She was still shivering slightly.. I could feel her nervous filled body tensing up every seconds...

"Relax... What happened" I asked softly .... The moment I spoke she looked at me with wide eyes as if she was scared with some big dangerous fire... She stood up abruptly making me flinch with her actions... She looked at me and looked back at her mobile phone...

Now it's me who is in more panicked state... I could sense something wrong with her... I asked the same question again slapping her shoulder softly... She stumbled back suddenly when I touched her making me panic more...

"Nothing... Nothin.... I am .... " She stammered and looked at the first direction again where she was looking...

When I look back at that direction... I froze... The beautifully decorated marriage hall where everyone were just dancing and singing just minutes before, where the groom went inside after coming down from the horse, where many kids ran here and there only to get extra chocolates from the shopkeeper uncle, where many old people came there to bless the couple.... All turned into ashes with a blast... The sound echoed all around making me froze to the spot... I couldn't react for some minutes...

Tears started flowing in my eyes looking at those blood filled hands and legs where were pulsing here and there after dispatching from it's own body... I closed my mouth with my hands to control the sobs looking at those body wandering here and there with only wish that someone could atleast save them...

Reality hits me hard .. whose beauty I was admiring is the one surely connected with this mess... I looked at my right side to search for her... But she is found nowhere... I took my mobile phone and dialed emergency number... And informed everything to the policeman without realizing that I could be the one who would be suffering till she gets arrested... But I can't sit back empty handed when something is happening in front of me... I have my truth with me.. and even now truth has the most power above all.. with the sole thought I vowed to get her arrested...

Try try try until you succeed. That beautiful girl got arrested within month when I co operated with all means ... Today I am receiving bravery award for my courage.. but still the award would remind me those pure souls who were killed that day.
