We are bored.. what to do????
Me: Bro..lets play with my doll. See she closes her eyes when you make her sleep and opens them when you put her straight... See? See??? Tadaaaa.. Tadaaaaa....
Bro: Wow.... Great. Okay.. (Whatever.. I dont play with dolls..). Hey have you seen Hair burning???
Me: Yes.. its curls up na?? But why?? But its fun to watch..
Bro: Do you wanna see if hair burning..? Lets see what happens to your Dolly's hair. Lets see if it burns too.
Me: (Very much Fascinated..) Ummm.. Okay. But my Dolly...
Bro: Nothings gonna happen to your Dolly. You know I wouldnt do anything wrong... She will look the same.(Oh yes... verrrry beautiful.. [with a sinister smile]) We can see if your teddy burns too after that...
Me: Okay.
Bro: Get me the lighter.
I do so loyally. He gathers up dolly's hair and lights the lighter under it.. and Voila.. her hair starts burning.. Its really fascinating to watch.. and it gives out a smell too... oooh... hey watch out... dont burn it too much.
We watch it burn.. enjoy and stop.
Uh-Oh.. my Dolly doesnt look good anymore.. it looks so ugly.. and scary..
My Bro smiles.. : Ayyo.. what if amma sees..?
I m scared at the thought that it pushes out other thoughts.. Anger at me bro.. sadness of loss.... Its just what do we do now?? We frantically look around and find the safest place.. Among all the rubble on the shelf that runs round the room close to the ceiling. My Dolly goes to her new home.. well shes thrown up there outta sight. We heave a sigh of relief....
Bro: Lets see if your teddy burns..
For some reason, though I was dying to know what would happen, I said NO.. and thats why Teddy now named Legg is alive among us today.
The carcass of Dolly was found later after ages.. and was thrown away... No funeral.. no byes.. nothing.
Just some 'What the hell happened to her hair????'
