Historical Narrative (draft 5)

“Why things happened in these ways? God please have mercy on us.” Cried Rijwan intensively as everywhere was disasters and Rijwan would hide under the bamboo table whenever there was gunshot and rioting. “I cannot believe my eyes I am seeing these.” Rijwan exclaimed horribly in a stunned look. River turned red and everywhere was on fire and dead body could be seen lying on the street. “How I wish that days would went back just like the past.” Rijwan hoped and pleaded to the god. In the past, the villagers looked happy and satisfied and everything was very peaceful. The river flows gently and Rijwan will stroll along the river with his parents. But soon, horrors came.

Many conflicts started to come by. And unfortunately, Rijwan family was also affected. His parents cannot believe and were shocked upon hearing that they had not been granted the citizenship. Rijwan and his family had felt discriminated. After spreading of news, Rijwan and his family soon heard about the new university admission criteria. "I cannot believe it! They are too much!” Rijwan said unbelievably as he hit the wall with his knuckles. All of them were shocked and stunned upon hearing the terrible news! One of the criteria was that the pupils must be Sinhalese and the second criteria were that the pupils must be Ceylon citizen. Rijwan was heartbroken and angry at the same time after knowing it as he study very hard trying to get into university. That not all, the official language had changed in Sinhalese which made the Tamils even hard to survive under the economies. Rijwan had gave up his hope of enter into university as he is a Tamil.
"What should we do?" said one of the Tamil villagers in a confused look. After the discussions, all of the male decided to join the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and join the rioting against the government forces to gain independent for the Tamil homeland but Rijwan parent were very disagree with this idea as this will cause more and more chaos.

And soon, gunshots, bombs, screaming and shouting could be heard often. And Rijwan could never have a stroll at the river with family happily again. Rijwan and his family do not have three meals again. They were so poor that they could hardly afford for one meal for the whole family. As Rijwan father was going out of the house to get some food for his family, one of the Sinhalese soldiers pointed his gun at Rijwan father’s head.

Rijwan felt so sad and furious while he has a thought to himself “I hate the Sinhalese; they are making our life so miserably. I want to revenge for my beloved father and all the trouble they had caused!” And soon, he told his mother that he suggested an idea.
“No! I cannot let you join the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and join them for the war. You are too young for the war and you will get yourself suicide.” Rijwan mother shouted without hesitation.
“But I wanted to help my village from the destruction and I wanted to revenge for my beloved father and to end the war so that we will not be that poor and back to our normal life.” Rijwan exclaimed with sad and hopeless voice and gave a sigh.
“You are my only son. I cannot afford to lose you.” Rijwan mother ended the conversation by hugging him and gave him a kiss on Rijwan cheek.

The populations of the village have become lesser and lesser as lots of people were dead during the gunfire. These village was once used to be filled with laughter has became screaming and shouting horribly. Rijwan would never predict that these day will happen making their days so horrible and terrible. These places cannot be lived anymore and Rijwan mother decided to move to other village. “I like this place; it has all my childhood memories. I cannot bear to leave this place. "Rijwan said emotionally. But it seemed useless. However, everyone could live peacefully and harmony if the governments do not treat the Tamil unfairly and injustice. Or the government going to treat the Tamil badly and causing the internal wars and rioting to go on and more dead will be found lying everywhere?
