Note: This post may sound disturbing to some (really sorry abt tht), but i had to write it coz i wanted to get it out of my system.
This definitely has to b one of the worst weekends i hav ever had! And the worst part is tht i was all alone at home....I had jus stepped down from my bldg on Saturday evening to get some work done, and thts when i saw the security man scurrying down the pathway to close the main gate. I was too busy playing wth a cute Beagle who lives in our bldg, to see wht had happened. When i started to leave i realised tht the gate was locked from inside. I immediately asked the security guy as to why had he closed the gate and thts when he told me wht had happened, a man had apparently jumped to his death from a top floor. I cudnt believe wht i saw, a person was lying on the ground wth his face down, his shirt drenched in blood....I dont want to go into further details coz i dint hav the guts to see anything more than this. I left the bldg to finish my work coz i knew tht this was jus the beginning of an evening which wud stretch really long coz this was a police case now....
By the time i returned the speculation was over as to who the man was....It turned out to be our very own society doctor who used to visit the dispensary tht we hav on the ground floor everyday. Saturday was one of the normal days...except for tht he had arrived much b4 his usual timing (which is 7 p.m) and nobody had seen him after tht....The strangest thing is hw the body was identified.....as soon as the police arrived and started their investigation the first step was to identify who the man was. It was difficult to identify the body coz his face was smeared with mud as the grass was freshly watered. So the next thing was to call a doctor in order to check if this man was alive or not...and thts when the security said tht our own doctor had arrived sometime back so its best to call him. His number was dialed and thts when the inevitable happened....the phone tht was ringing was right there in the dead man's pant pocket. And this solved the mystery of who the man was, he was indeed the society doctor.
Nobody cud hav ever imagined tht a man of his stature cud think of committing a suicide coz we never saw him unhappy or upset. He was of a very calm composure and he was a very nice human being. But as they say its impossible to knw whts goin on inside somebody's head....and so we never knew and will never knw as to wht drove him to this point of no return. I dint take long to decide tht i had to leave my flat as soon as possible coz i knew i wudnt b able to spend the night alone. I called up a friend who stays nearby and went over to her place. I was trying to understand wht cud b the reason behind such a drastic step especially when he had jus married off his eldest of the two daughters 3 months ago. The reception was grand and i can still remember the contentment on his face on tht day! Why wud anybody want to kill himself when he's only 57 and has another daughter's responsibility on him. I still cant forget the way his elder daughter shrieked on knowing tht her father was no more. I cant forget how his wife was crying inconsolably.....This is the first time in the history of our bldg tht somebody has committed a suicide. This is something which will definitely haunt me for quite a few days to come...Thankfully my parents r back today and i can relax a bit now....i need time to recover....Hopefully i will soon!
