GUILT

"Why are you doing this to me Sky? Can't you let me go? "

Hope was kneeling in front of Sky and pleading for forgiveness.

Sky wanted to laugh when he saw Hope's pitiful look. He felt really proud of himself.

Sky had been bullying Hope since the time they entered in the same class.

Hope was a self prideful person. He was happy about being special in others eyes. Hope knew he was feminine and he didn't want to hide himself for the society he lives in. His family supported him too.

But seeing Hope being openly feminine made Sky hate him. Sky himself didn't understand why he did that. Whenever he sees Hope, Sky bullied him by beating him, humiliating by calling him with weird names, physically harassing him saying he actually likes being touched by a man because he is a gay.

But one day, Sky went beyond it all...

He made his friends to forcefully take Hope to an old classroom where no one usually came. There he stripped Hope's clothes saying they wanted to see if he was a female in his personal parts too.

They were laughing and beating up Hope while stripping his clothes down. Hope was crying pleading them to let him go. Hope even promised them he won't step a foot inside the school if they let him go and he won't stay in the same city as them and go somewhere really far away. But Sky and his friends didn't even try to listen to him and beat him up.

Sky and his friends went outside with Hope's clothes.

Hope was hiding in a corner of the room, tightly hugging his naked body.

Next day

"Where is he? Why didn't I see him today? "

Sky asked his friends when he didn't see Hope in the classroom.

"Maybe he actually stopped coming to school. After all we gave him that much of a shock yesterday"

One of his friends said. Others agreed with him saying it might be the reason.

Hearing this Sky didn't feel as happy as he thought. For a week, he waited for Hope to come to the school. But Hope didn't come there.

Years passed

Now Sky is the CEO of the number one business company.

Sky still thinks about Hope sometimes and he feels guilty for what he had done to him when they were still kids.

He wanted to see Hope even for once. He wanted to apologize for what he had done to him back then. But that didn't happen and Sky didn't find him even after searching for so many years.

One day, Sky was visiting one of his friends in the hospital. Unexpectedly he saw someone who resembled Hope very much. Sky followed him.

That person was sitting in a wheelchair. His eyes were restlessly looking around in excitement. His behavior was strange for a normal person. He was smiling and giggling without any reason. Everyone around him was looking at him sympathetically.

Sky couldn't suppress his confusions and asked one of the attenders in hospital about the man in the wheelchair.

"Oh! His name is Hope Simons. He is our chief doctor's son. He is not mentally stable. I have been here for ten years, since then I regularly see him. The doctor takes him with her because there is no one else in the house to take care of him. He is really pitiful. His father died when he was only five. Today, his mother our chief doctor also died in a car crash while she was coming here."

The attendant said showing his sympathy towards Hope.

"Now what happens to him? You said he has no one else to take care of him? Now his mother also died. Then who is going to take care of him? "

Sky asked only to suppress the guilty he was feeling deep inside him. If Hope is going to have a good life then Sky can rest assured. But the attendant said,

"No one is there to take responsibility for him or to take care of him, No friends nor relatives. So we decided to send him to the mental asylum. It's better option for him. He will be able to mingle with people who are in the same mental state as him. "

Saying this the attender went from there.

Sky was standing there looking at Hope, who didn't know what was going to happen to him. Sky saw Hope going away from him. Someone was pushing the wheelchair. Hope was sitting in it without knowing or caring about anything, giggling and minding his own business in his own world.
