Why? Why did she have to kill her only son to save her dying daughter? What sort of world was this, where you had to pick and choose? She couldn't comprehend it. Only a complete blood transfusion from her son could save her daughter. Why? There was no justice in this. She wept and wept and wept some more. Cruel, cruel world... She didn't know what to do. She had just been reunited with her daughter due to the quake and now this? She just couldn't handle it. As she grasped the knife, she thought, Death will be such a relief.
She was found dead, the next morning in her house. Her daughter heard of this during the blood transfusion. The shock and grief of it all killed her. And the brother? Too much blood was given away. Another death. He could have lived. They had found some more blood in another hospital and that blood had just arrived. All three could have lived. But they died, due to one's folly. And yet life just went on, uncaring and cold. Maybe, you will comfort yourself by saying they are all together in death. I don't. She did not believe and now she will pay the price. And her children.
