17 years...

It was a similar Wednesday in the year 2001. That late evening was a little windy and mildly cold.
A comfortable day was drawing to a nervous night.

The expectations were too high to be met in a day's or week's demand. They were more about the rest of entire life. there were so many questions unasked, so many answers unspoken.

The words spoken that time did not communicate everything completely. Nor were they understood properly.

17 years had dragged on.

That fateful day still lives fresh in memory, though none such had ever repeated.

World has not changed much since. Even 2 days ago a life has been taken brutally right in front of his pregnant wife.

Stories such as these do justify the decisions taken that day.
Yet....., it is not sure whether these were the real reasons behind those tough and painful decisions.
