No amount of rest and sleep would have prepared me for what I awakened to. Ammu's blood curdling scream, Baba running towards the porch, shaking chachu's shoulder and Bhabi falling onto her knees. The horrific pain we all had suffered before meant absolutely nothing now. Nothing would've prepared us for this.

I am sure that is how Bhai felt in his last moments. He surely didn't see this coming, he must've been scared and all alone. I felt tears come to my eyes.

Bhai was dead.
