Rashida Chowhury
climbed into her bed and for the first time in three weeks slept. She shut her
eye against the world and experienced peace as had eluded her since the evil
spirit got into the boy. No needy cries, no seemingly helpless whimpers, trying
to suck the life out of her. She slept, peacefully so.
…
Rizwan Ahmad quietly
let himself into the house. His wife was probably asleep with the baby, his
son, his cute son that looked exactly like he did as a baby, his heir, Rizwan
Ahmad II. He tiptoed towards the bed, his wife stirred in her sleep, she
flashed him a smile. His heart welled with joy. He moved quietly away. She needed
the rest.
The noise in the
courtyard was getting louder. Through the window he could see people gathering.
He had to find out what it was about. He tiptoed towards the door and slowly
and quietly opened it. Little Rizwan had not been sleeping well. He just
returned from the Hospital for the third time since he was born. He was
obviously getting better, sleeping as peacefully as he was.
All eyes turned
towards him as he approached the courtyard. Everyone got silent. A clear path
was made. Being a shy fellow, he almost turned back to go home but he took a
bold step, then another till he stood in front of his son. His son’s broken and
lifeless body.
He did not hear the
sirens ring up the morning air. He did not notice the rescue team as they
carried his son away. He could only feel the tears, hot and unforgiving as they
freely flowed down his eyes. He found his voice an hour later.
“My first son! My first son! My
first son!” he chanted.
There he was when the
police came and took him for questioning along with Rashida Chowdhury his wife.
…
Rashida
Chowdhury was disoriented when the interrogations began.
“The baby flew out of the window and
into the courtyard.” She said.
The police
officers knew there was serious issues in this case. After a few more questions
Rashida responded, dry eyed and in control.
“He was possessed. The evil took
over him and that was when he fell sick.” She did not tell them that she saw
horns on his head and all the other evil signs she saw. “He fell sick after he
got possessed. I just wanted to save him, to take the pain away. He is not in
pain now.” She added as she smiled.
Questioned again and again, she held on to her
statement. Her 19 day old baby was possessed and so she tossed him out of the
four storey window into the courtyard to die!
Rizwan
Ahmad, the father of the deceased Rizwan Ahmad II remained in shock and tears
as he was interrogated by the police. He was released after questioning. He
just came home to find the gruesome murder of his son by his wife.
He had to be
dragged from the courtyard the next day. He had spent the whole day and night
there chanting, “My first child. My first child. My first child.”
Rashida was
charged and taken to jail, she held on to her statement.
