She is

She is

I walked out towards the window and was watching the activity that started to spring up at the house next door. She is a little girl..maybe some where around 12 years old running around, smiling, playing with her little brother and  cousins who have arrived to her little home. There are many strangers around her home this time.. yet..she neither her little brother are worried..they play.. its their world after all..

Since this family moved into this home..I think 6 years ago.. they have always been silent..at day time that is..never have I seen this amount of activity and people in this home. Yet in the night I do hear the noise of a man..who screeches under his throat..attacking some one with a barrage of unkind words..and then he goes on until the words turn into fists that thunder into the walls (presumably, thats how I hear it).. mixed with anguish cries of a little girl and a boy...

So he was the father who makes his voice heard and might felt at those who are the victims on those strident nights ... makes it clear that he is the boss.. yet again... in the morning the home is as calm as the early morning sea..but the girl and the boy were smiling in the morning,,and they played. This happens quite often..it had been happening..but...

There is a difference today.... the girl and the boy are still playing..probably lost in their own worlds..her father is not shouting at them today..he is lying there on a bed..covered by white cloth... silently..watching them..with his eyes closed.. he isn't making his voice heard this time around.. he rests there..while these two continuously play...

Some people say this was coming at him..for his doings.. I don't know about that...what ever it may be there is one thing that is certain in this uncertain world for me now.. which she may not understand...or maybe she does,,,i cannot comment..they say she is small and cannot comprehend..i wonder...could she be happy? i have no answer yet...

a girl just lost her father... and the father has lost his daughter.. thats the way life is.. you are there now..and the next minute your gone.. its the law.. and no one escapes....
