Murder | Subodh Sarkar

February 15, 2018

The boy used to say
‘You will be killed the moment you love someone else.’
The girl used to say
‘ I will kill you if you flirt with any other.’

The girl is in Canada now, and
The boy is in Nepal, Rangoon
Can you tell me why they haven’t
Killed each other yet?
