“Traffic Jam”

A car stopped, “O my God. I'm already late”. She mumbled as beating his hand on the horn, got out her head from the window, “Please give me the way, give me the way”. She shouted.

I can't reach in time also today, I can't. After that she dialed a number on her cellphone, then cut it, and write a text, “I'll be late also today, its high traffic jam”

He dropped his head down back on the seat and closed the eyes.

“Why you don't leave this job? You don't have any need to carry out this job”.

Her husband said to her many times.

“You know better, how I prepared to carry out this job”.

“Yes, I know yet if you confronting issues to proceed with it then you should change your mind and leave it.” 

Hows she gets to change her mind? She knew whether she quit this job, she'll drop in other problems that she had confronted as of now.

You should get a job or involve any other activity, the doctor had advised her. She has been a lot of depressed. She didn't need any job, her husband has his own business, but she took a job in a school as a teacher, on her doctor's advice.

It had been passed five years of her marriage. It was her second miscarriage. 

She was been alone in her home when her husband used to go to the office.

They both belonged to another city, because of her husband's business; they have to live in this city. They were new in this city, so they didn't know many people.  She had been depressed alone in her home and involved in serious mental issues. The doctor suggested to her to take a job if you want to get out of your disease.

She got a job at a children's school. But she couldn't manage her job actually. The school was far away from her home and she couldn't reach in time every day. She couldn't manage her other works. 

Many times school administrators have cautioned her. Her husband gave her suggestions many times to leave or change this job.

She was still thinking, then a school van stopped near her. Van filled with children. She got busy to look at the children. She smiled and began to watch their mischiefs with complete consideration. They were playing, shouting with happiness, laughing and giggling.

A boy is gesturing with saying 'Bye Mom’; he is sitting in the school van. And she is standing in front of her home and replying with the same gesture. 

She dreamed. 

We couldn't survive your baby, a doctor had told them, it was her second miscarriage.

Then horn rang from somewhere, she came out from her thoughts, she was again busy to see the children. When some children noticed that a lady watching them, they nodded with a hand to her. She likewise replied with gestured and smile.

Sudden someone shouted; "fire", "fire"... There was a fire in the van. Children started to cry, "fire", "fire", "help", "help"...

 The driver of the van opened the door and leaped out from the van. 

She quickly got out of the car and ran towards the van, but when she reached, the fire spread all over the van, many children stuck inside. She picked a stone and broke the mirror of the window with it, she got inside, she got out many children, but the fire covered the whole van, it couldn't be possible to get out of the van. 

A few children and she got stuck in the van. Fire moved towards them like a mythical serpent, it gulped the children, then it moved towards her with outrage, like it was saying; now my next objective are you.

She didn't cry nor called for help since she knew, it was the end. She closed her eyes; saw a little boy gesturing to her by saying 'Bye Mom' sitting in the school van.
