A story. A short story..

A police officer comes to your neighbourhood and arrests your neighbour, Deraman, for possessing fireworks. The officer claims that fireworks may caused inconvenience to the neighbourhood and may be hazardous, so your neighbour is charged on those reasons.

Deraman's wife and children can do nothing but to let Deraman is taken away by the police officer with tears. Deraman's house is now being monitored 24/7. Lots of police officers are placed at Deraman's house so that no illegal activities take place, even though Deraman is now in custody. The authorities want to make sure that the neighbourhood is safe.

In detention room, Deraman is being tortured and forced to plead guilty. Deraman repeatedly says that he means no harm to the neighbourhood, he just want to have fun with his children. The police officer claims that his neighbours have lodged so many reports about him, telling that he was trying to pick a fight by throwing the lit firecrackers into their yards.

Deraman denies it. He will never cause harm to his neighbour. In fact. he has a very good relationship with them. How come they could say such things?

Deraman is ordered to spent the night in custody, but Deraman thinks he don't deserve that awful treat because he did nothing wrong. Out of bravery and determination to find the truth, he decides to break out from the jail. He manages to escape that night and goes straight away to his house to see his family.

But, once he arrives at his house, he sees so many guards around the house. He now knows that his house and family has been taken over by the authorities. He can't do anything. He is now alone, and has to fight alone. But, he promises to himself that he will save and free his family one fine day.

Deraman heads to his bestfriend's house, Asif, not very far from his. He needs a shelter. Luckily, Asif is very generous, and Deraman is allowed to spend the night at his house. Asif tries to convince his wife and children that Deraman is being framed, and now he needs help. Asif's family doesn't refuse to give a hand.

Deraman is so grateful. But, he can't fall asleep because his mind keeps thinking about his house, and his family. He prays that they are not being tortured, like he was.

Tomorrow morning, as Deraman wakes up, he listens to the news on radio. He is now a suspect wanted by the authorities. Deraman is so confused. He thinks he doesn't do anything wrong, but he ends up as the most wanted person. Asif enters Deraman's room and give him the newspaper. Deraman's photo is being distributed in newspaper. He is now called a terrorist.

Deraman looks very stressed out. Asifs tries to convince him that everything will going to be fine, but Deraman just can't help it but to think the worse. He is very worried about his family now.

At Deraman's house, his wife and children is not allowed to swallow any food since his missing last night. But, his wife and children are very strong. They don't mind at all. They used to fast, so they pretend that they are fasting.

At noon, when Deraman's yongest son is sleeping, a police officer comes to him and stomps his stomach. The child cries out very loud, out of great pain. His mouth is drained with blood. Deraman's wife can do nothing but cries to see his child's suffering. A few hours fighting for his life, the child dies. But, the death of the child is kept secret, so that the neighbourhood will not know that the officer murdered the child. The authorities don't want the neighbourhood to lose faith in them. The poor child is buried in the yard.

However, some of Deraman's close friends can smell that something is not right happens in Deraman's house. Later, they get the information that Deraman's youngest child is dead. They cursed the police officers, but they are too afraid to take action, as well as to make report because they realize that the police officers is in highest authorities protection.

So, they remain silence. They try to trace Deraman, and they fine Deraman at Asif's house. The news about Deraman's youngest son's death is told to Deraman. He is very furious, but he tries to manage his anger. He then transfers his anger into tears.

After a moment discussing, Deraman's friends decide to go home. They still bounded by the laws that they can't violate, or else, they are going to face the same difficulties like Deraman does.

On their way home, they stopped at their farms to pick out a livestock to be given to the authorities as tax.

A few days later, the neighbourhood is shocked by the news Deraman kills all the police officers to save his family and house. But Deraman and his family later leave the house because the house is not safe anymore. Deraman hopes to get his and his family's life back. He needs to fight, even though he is fighting alone.


This is not just a story. It happens right in front of our eyes, in bigger scope. People's land is being invaded, and the native is to be blamed for using violence in order to protect their land.
