my name inna,I live in Canada,I have small family,on sister,one brother our mom,and dad.
one day dad said, tomorrow we are planning to visit the Forest and the mountains,we shall enjoying and making food there.but be ready early morning.when we heard about dad s plan, but be ready early morning.
when we heard about dad plan,we became so happy and excited.
we eagerly waited for the morning.
our whole family began the journey to the forest.when we reached the mountains,i saw huge stone, there was no road, but we continued our journey.the mountain path became steeper, with more rocks and thicker forest.
at least,we reached a huge forest filled with many tall trees.we found a big tree with a wide shade and stop there.then dad and mom started planning for the lunch, mean while, we three childrens wandering around, enjoying ourselves and playing in the forest.
by noon lunch was ready, mom called out, come on my childrens, lunch is ready,we all sat together and enjoyed our meal.
after lunch,dad, now it is time to back our town.so we got in to the car and began our journey home.we still couldn't more away from the spot,when suddenly, the car hit a huge stone and was completely distroyed.
I fainted at that moment, when I regained consciousness, everything was silent _only the chirping of birds could be heard.
as I got up and looked around,I saw everything lying in different places.
i called out, mom, mom, dad,dad, but there are no answer, then i realized the truth _mom was died,dad was died,no one was left for me,
i cried uncontrollably, with out stopping, but it was use, nothing could bring them back.
as dusk is began to fall, even the birds grew silent,i was a little kid, only five years old, what could i do?i was exhausted from all the weeping.so i went to mother side lay down next to her, hugged her tightly, and fell asleep in her arms,as if she still comfort me.
at midnight,I heard the roar of a car coming from the forest.withen moments, the car came close to us and parked, it's head light still on,I saw some peoples step out the car and walked over to my parents,dead body,they took them in to car, then an other person with good manner came near me, took my hand gently and led me in to the car.
then car left the spot.
after a few hours, the car parked next to a huge apartment.then two men a middle aged woman and a man, of the same age came out of the building together.
they cared my parents dead bodies into the apartment,the woman wearing a broad smile, took my hand,i wept as tears burst from my eyes at the sight of my parents.
the woman embarrassed me, with her arms and led me to a small nearby room, there i saw two other childrens sleeping.
a gentle man, welcomed me kindly.
next morning, once again, that car parked next to lady's room, two men stepped out from the car,caried out my parents dead bodies, wrapped in white gauze.
when i saw the bodies, tears burst out from my eyes again,and i began to cry uncontrollably.
after a while,a huge crowd gathered and took my parents dead bodies to the graveyard, there they were buried to gathered, when it was time to return.
I drifted to my imagination _oh my God,, i am all alone,no one is left,where do i go now? with teary eyes,i walked away, the lady comforted me, saying, don't cry my daughter, you are now my son,i am your mother, don't worry, but i couldn't feel calm.
the lonelless remind me,and my tear kept falling.
fifteen years later,i had grown in to a young and interesting girl, during all these years,I never truly felt that my parents pass away, because the lady and gentle man always treated me with kindness and respect, whatever i wanted they provide for me immediately.i have became a beautiful, curious and well known girl in town, everyone seemed interested in me.
one day i went to the market with my mom, when we returned home,i saw two men sitting with my dad talking.one was young man around my age,may be twenty or twenty two_and the other was an older man, about fifty or sixty.
as we stepped into the room,i felt the young man looking at me, with interest,so i ignore him,and walked past.
he had a large mustache and wide reddesh eyes.they greeted my mom warmely and with smile.
a little while later,they left,I asked my dad,who were those people, and why did come there?and dad replied,they are your relatives,they visited to ask about you,they said they want to take you to their home, because you are part of their family,they believes it is their rights to care for you in the future, and what did you said to them dad?
I asked sarcastically.
he said,i told them we agree _but depend on what inna say.
I quickly responded,no,no,I won't leave you,I want to live with you.
so we became busy with our usual work of home and eventually forgot about that conversation.
one day i met a handsome boy,who was one of my dad's relatives,he proposed to me _and I accepted.
from that day on,we became close friends.
I told him if you really want me, bring your parents and ask for my hand.
he said, alright, tomorrow i will bring mom and dad,so we can make a decision about the marriage.
the next morning,the boy brought his parents.they met us politely and good manner,they were so happy, when they saw me,and that's how I got engage to him.
one early morning, those two men appeared again and came to our home,they spoke loudly with my dad and me, demanding that we break off the engagement with the boy name Keely Smith,they gave us one week to end the relationship and warn us:if didn't,we should be ready to face consequences.
the days passed quickly, and soon the weekend arrived.
we were busy with our usual work at home.
when suddenly burst open, the two men stepped in with out saying a word, with out hesitation,the pointed their pistol and shot my dad,he collapsed like a tree, lifeless in an instant.
my mom screamed and rushed to his side, but before she could reached him,an other gunshot cracked through the air_this time aimed at her,she collapsed beside him,her body limp and still.
shock and terrified,i ran from the scene, escaping through the back and hiding in a nearby house.they searched for me, but i was already gone, realizing i had vanished,they fled the area immediately.
after witnessing the horrifying scene,i wept uncontrollably,I screamed,tear streaming down my face.
guilt crushed me _i felt like it was all my fault, two innocent people had been killed, because of me.
Mr, Smith soon got the news and rushed to our home.
the whole town gathered and helped arranging the funeral for my mom and dad.
they were laid to test in the town graveyard .
now i was completely alone, left only two innocent childrens who depend on me.
after the burial,Mr.smith took my hand and hands of the two children brought us his home.
as the day passed, the wound of my heart slowly began to heal,life was returning to a fragile sense of normal.
Mr.smith and I began planning our wedding together.
one day he turned to me and said,,inna, what do you think _should we go to market and buy some things we need for the wedding?
I smiled and replied, alright, tomorrow we will go and get everything we need.
the next morning,we went to the market and were busy shopping.when suddenly,,I heard gunfire behind me.i turned quickly to see what was happening,and it felt like the earth vanished beneath my feet.
standing there were the same two men,who had killed my parents,their guns were aimed straight us.
before i could react,a shot rang out,I turned to warn Mr.smith, but i saw him falling to ground, completely still.i screamed and rushed to his body,but before i could even reach him.the man took advantage of the chaos,they threw some things on my face_a burning mixture .
pain exploded through me as my skin burned and my eyes went completely dark.
i didn't know, what happened after that, because i fainted, when i finally regained consciousness,i felt an unbreakable burning across my face,my eyes nothing _but darkness.i was blind, completely blind.
oh,my God,, what should i do now?I whispered my avice trembling,i am all alone, everything is gone,I must be cursed.what trible sin did i commet for you take everything from me?
with fears running down cheeks,I walked blindly dragging my feet in to the unknown.
my past felt lost_i just shattered memories fading behind me.i had no destination, only plan.
eventually, reached a road corner,I sit down, broken, waiting for help_perhaps from God,, perhaps from anyone, the sun had began to sit.
then I heard quiet weeping,a woman was sitting nearby, alone by the road side.i stop my car, stepped out and gently asked her.
why are you sitting here,all by yourself, especially night began to fall?
she told me her story, and as I listen,my heart melted,her pain was deeper, then I had imagined with out hesitation,I took her hand and brought her to my home.
many years have to passed since that day.
inna is now more than ninety _perhaps ninety five years,yet still alive and even now. when she remember that dark days,her tear do not stop.she still carries that guilt.
somehow fate played a cruel joke on her and all of us.
