Loud screams of a pregnant woman broke the dead silent atmosphere of the small cottage located in a village . Her husband's eyes shot open and sense of panic attack hit his nerves while looking at his wife. Her water was broke and their first child could come out anytime soon.

He went outside in search of help only to find, loud thunder roaring furiously in the dark, extremely dark sky. That night felt different, different from any other dangerous night. It was like devil himself has appeared on the earth, himself was there to mark his existence in the land of God, in the land where thousands of God(s) exist, where beliefs are more powerful than proofs. It was like devil finally wished to show his presence to humans.

The wind was blowing fast and waves were crashing at the shore, making terrible noises which could give goosebumps to any witness . "Help" "Help". Loud pleading voice of the man could be heard. Witnessing the climate, it was not a big surprise that no one was willing to contribute to humanity and help the poor man.

Losing every hope at last, he decided to take his wife to the city by himself. He immediately took her wife on a cart and managed to pull her on the old wooden boat. The pain in her stomach was unbearable and it was much more powerful than any other pregnancy case. Her voice was more filled with trembles than the pain. The rain drops were furiously attacking every single earth particle and the river.

The man was using all his power to keep the boat balanced and his hands were constantly working to cross the big river as soon as possible. A very loud scream escaped the woman's dried throat and man snapped his face at her direction . The baby had came out by itself sans any help. It was like miracle. The loud cries of baby also became the part of unpleasant environment.

The man's eyes grew wide and his tears kept falling harshly on boat, not of happiness but of bitter sorrow, not looking at the baby but the wife who. was lying on creaked wooden floor, lifeless. Her body had turned blue and her eyes became red. It was a scenario that was commonly seen in the case of poison.

Man took the baby in his arms and somehow managed to cross the river. His heart was rapidly beating faster , not because of the nervousness but because he knew that his end was near. With heavy heart and clear vision of his death in his eyes, he put baby under a vicious banyan tree.

The next thing he did was clearly a shocking seen to watch. He gently kissed the forehead of the baby, taking few drops of fresh and extreme red blood on his lips. He then went in the open area. He closed his eyes, standing still at his spot with a smile on his face, like he knew what was going to happen next. Lightning stuck the ground, inviting him on the heaven, like his work on the earth was done.

That was the day ,when the darkest soul arrived.
