Underground Enemy

Once there was a brother, Qudos and a sister, Raihana living in a green village far from the city. They were always going a long way to school.

One day, Raihana was laying down on a bed in a hospital and her cousin, Samira came to visit her.

Raihana leg and head was dressed with a bandage and she was crying.

Samira asked her about the incident. Raihana told her the whole story as follow: “About a week ago, I was going to school with my brother, Qudos. It was late for school. Qudos wanted to go from the hillside way which was the nearest way to the school. I suggested him to go on the public way but he did not accept and he said that we would reach before our other classmates.

I was very afraid because there was no one seen on that way and the way the whole hill was covered with grass and thorns and some old pieces of iron were seen there on the hill. I asked about the iron pieces from Qudos. Qudos said that these iron pieces might be carried by dogs or other animals. Qudos was going fast and I was behind him.

Meanwhile, a voice of heavy explosion heard. This was the voice of mine explosion that Qudos had put his foot in it. I did not know what happened to me. When I opened my eyes, I was badly injured and I was in the village clinic and Qudos was in worse condition and they have transferred him to the district hospital.”
