He is a strong man. He is in excellent
health. He is ready for the expedition. He is a suicide bomber. His Trainer
takes him on his motorbike to an unoccupied apartment. He needs to be prepared
for the task at hand. He has been shown the locale where he will deploy the
bomb. It is where a statue of a politician is to be unveiled. He is not
supposed to move out of the apartment. His Trainer will bring him all that is
necessary. He used to be a painter. His Trainer has given him paints and
brushes to paint if he wants to. He is supposed to prepare himself for the day.
Be calm. Be prepared for the task.
He is really calm; he sorts out his
paint brushes and lays all his paints on a newspaper on a table. He sets up his
easel. He opens the balcony door; some fresh air would do him good. As he turns
around to get a better view of his surroundings, he stops short. On the balcony
next to him a beautiful woman is watering her small balcony garden. She seems totally
unaware of his presence. Very daintily she snips off a red rose. She puts it
into a basket which is pulled up. He cannot see who the recipient of the red
rose is.
He starts painting frenetically. He
has to complete the painting within the next five days. He begins following her
to the elevator. He is there when she gets in. He is there when she gets out.
He is obsessed by her. He paints like a man possessed, he has to finish the
painting before…
The day arrives. The painting is done.
The painting is that of the Woman. The Trainer comes to take him to the venue. He
gets ready, straps the Bomb onto his stomach. He cleans all vestiges of his
stay in the apartment. The Trainer packs up everything and takes the package
with him. When the Trainer is not looking he slips the painting down his back. He
will give it to her if she is there for the unveiling. The trainer takes him to
the venue. There are no goodbyes. He walks slowly to the venue. His mind is on
the Woman. Will she be there? He hopes with all his heart that she will be
there. His mind is on the Woman. He sees the Woman. He needs to give her the
painting. He jumps over the barricade, rushing towards her…
The Woman presses the detonator. There
is a huge explosion. Parts of bodies everywhere. Amidst the body parts lies a painting.
A Motorbike stops. It is the Trainer. The
Woman hops onto his bike. They both move on slowly and with no hurry.
