The killer smile which took him to a different world

She was back at her house. She couldn't forget what she had done. She was awake unusually early in the morning. She heard the knocking sound of the room's door. She got up from her bed and opened the door.

"You're awake, so soon" said her brother and entered the room. She didn't reply. He walked in and started to search the place. She silently looked at him. "I need your charger. Mine is not working" he said and kept looking for it.

She didn't reply. She was lost in her thoughts. Or she was just blank. "Hello madam", he yelled to get her attention. He waited for her response looking at her face.

She came back to reality. She could see that he had been searching for something. "Do you want something", she asked. "Charger, your charger", he said.

She just pointed at her pillow, and said, "there, below it". He moved towards the pillow. She slowly moved towards the window. He took three pillow and found the charger there. He took it with his other hand.

"Why do you keep your charger below the pillow", he asked gently placing the pillow back in its position. Since she didn't reply, he looked at her. She was approaching the window. He gazed at her as she reached the window.

She slowly moved the curtain away and let the Sun rays fall on her. She felt cleansed by the purity of Sun rays. She closed her eyes, raised her head up and allowed the rays to cleanse all her sins. She felt that it would take multiple births before all that she had done would be cleansed.

He walked near her. "Oh! Dear sister. Is this the first time you're looking at the orange Sun in the morning", he asked. She didn't respond. He realised that she was into a different world inside her mind. He didn't wanna disturb her.

He looked at the Sun and remembered all that had happened. He took a deep breath trying to digest the facts.

"How weird", she said without opening her eyes. "Or is it ironical", she asked to herself. "I don't know what to feel about it. It's strange, but not in a likable way", she said and came back to her consciousness. She turned towards him. He looked at her with confusion.

"Is it an irony", she asked. He couldn't make sense of anything that she was saying. With the confused tone he argue, "what are you speaking about".

"There was this movie in which the lead actor says, "Whenever she knows I'm not well, she gives a killer smile. That smile will make me forget all the pain. I would go to a different world". My husband was also in pain when I gave him a killer smile. After a moment, he felt no pain. He was into a different world", she said with a mild smile on her face.

He couldn't bear it. She was totally silenced. She looked at his face and realised the actual meaning of what she had said. The smile on her face vanished. Her head went low. She thought about how cruel she had been. A small drop of tear fell from her eyes.
