What is left ...

There was this young man, and this girl who were neighbors. As the time went by she passed the so called age for marriage and later on more for the sake of convenience these two people got married. Everybody thought it was good match for both of them. Pretty soon they had a child.
Then we heard the man started drinking alcohol and slowly becoming an addict to it. From being an alcoholic he turned to be an abusive husband. Relatives took him to de addiction centre and everybody thought things would change for the good. He was okay for some time but then he started drinking again. The abusive husband soon became an abusive father.
Yesterday he had a fight with his wife early morning at 3.30 am demanding money and she locked the home and with the child went to a neighbors’ home to avoid any more trouble. As the day went by there were more fights and he broke the lock of their home and went inside. To the people who came and asked what’s going on he said- nothing wrong I am going to sleep. After sometime when they heard no sounds from inside the home and found no answers to their calls, someone broke the door and the wife along with others found him hanged to death.

Now his body is in the pyre, it was burning from 2 pm and still going on, a lot still remains to be burned. By tomorrow morning what’s left of him would be some ashes and memories filled with pain...

My mind keeps saying there was no need for such an end, but when adults acts irresponsible and become addicts to alcohol, drugs…. the end results would be always disasters like this..
