the ring
A boy loved a girl head over
heels. She was very beautiful and possessed a modest character. One day the boy
decided to propose her, it was the Valentine’s Day. From the florist he got a
fresh rose bouquet. The roses were deep
red and afresh with dew drops. The weather was very cold outside; the mountains
were covered in the snow. Sparrow glided in the sky singing beautiful songs. He
went to a gift shop and bought a silver ring. The ring cost him 5000 ngultrum,
in his wallet he just had the exact amount. He recalled the week long nights of
work he did to earn that amount and sighed a complacent smile. The gifts were
placed in the front pouch of his bicycle. He headed towards her apartment.
The snowflakes dropped and staked on roads. The
temperature was dropping rapidly. While
crossing a junction, a Mercedes car in full speed came sliding. The snows had
made the road slippery. The car crashed
right onto his bicycle and he was thrown away. His blood smeared the snowy
road. The roses lay scattered alongside and the ring landed near his body. He
clasped few roses and the ring in his hand and slowly gave up his breath.
The girl was sipping a hot
espresso when she decided to switch channel form "Starplus" to "BBC". The news
about the fatal accident broke the headlines. The camera showed the fragments
of rose and the ring lying in his grasp. She blurted “hallelujah” ! felt sorry
for the victim. She checked her watch
and then switched channel to” Sony”. It was time for her favourite serial ‘crime
patrol” .
