Short story-The Perfume

One day,when I was preparing lunch,I heard the ringing of the telephone.I hurried to the living room to answer it.There was a dead silence in another end.It happened twice yesterday also.
Hello,who the hell is this?To whom do you want to speak?. I shouted at the mouth piece.Then a voice came from the other end.Are you the wife of Mr.Hasith Perera?the voice demanded from me.Yes,I answered.Mrs.Perera,don't you want to know what your husband is up to? His behavior has become very bad these days.I was dumbfounded when I herd those nonsense about my husband.
Who are you?Are you trying to play fool with me?I shouted at the voice,angrily.Calm down Madam,I never meant to hurt you.Think that I am a good friend of your who really wants to help you in this matter.I found that it is very uneasy to carry on this conversation any more,with him.
If you call me again,I will give your number to the police.I shouted at him with an unbearable pain.If you do so,I will reveal all of the dark secrets of your husband to the world.I really confused by that man's threatening and  I was in a hurry in order to know what those dark secrets are.Again,I asked 'How do you know my husband?"It doesn't matter madam,the problem is your husband's bad behavior.Once I saw he was with another woman,in front of the shopping complex.
 It was ridiculous,I knew that my husband is the most loyal and amiable person in the world.This may be a mistake and i tried to console myself.
      In the evening,Hasith came home with our son.Hasith was the managing director of E.S.P companytftrd

 There was a precious little time.I had to do something because I could see the train which was coming towards me as a large snake.My one leg was in the rail track and  I struggled to  drag it towards my self  as  fast as I could.I felt that my cheeks were wet with hot tears.I remembered my mother's figure that I had seen only once in my life and closed my eyes.

I was born,two or three weeks ago,but i don't know the proper month or date.My Mother was bigger than I and I could suck her her breast and drink milk to feed my little belly,only for one or two days.One day,a little mischievous boy took me to his home.I screamed as loud as I could because I wanted to have the warmth of my loving mother.Later,I realized that my mother was no more.The child who took me this home,treated me very well.I first thought that his house is too like the wretched slum where I was born in.My heart leaped in fear,when I first saw his mother.She was very cruel to me.She warned the boy not to take me in to the house.But,he loved me a lot and always used to play with me,gradually,I could wipe away my loneliness.My friend,the mischievous boy,soon began to be my 'Master'.He called me,'puppy',what a beautiful name it was?I loved to sleep with my master,his bed was very comfortable.I again felt the warmth of my mother,by my master's breath.But,when his mother saw that I sleeping with her child,she beat me and chased me from his room.

                     Days passed,I spent my whole time with my master.One day,I heard his mother saying that her child didn't do any home work because of me.

"..Our child always plays with that dirty dog,I will chase it away.."

I really afraided to be alone,I had only this little boy's love."no,I can't be without you..please don't make me alone..',my innocent heart whispered.

                                    When my master went school,I used to hide my self under his bed.I didn't even come out for anything,as I was very much afraid of her.But,one day,the boy's mother searched for me when I was hiding myself under his bed.She dragged me out by my ear an d began to hit me by broom stick.I felt dizzy as she struck on my head.Then,carried me and put me in to the rail track.

                             I know,my master would search me every where and he would repent of my loss.rays of the sun badly fell on my body.I couldn't even move as my paws were badly injured by his beatings.

                   Another minute,my bones would be crushed and I would die on the rail track.Though I struggled to take my paw from the iron track,I really failed to do so.I put my last glance at the coming train and closed my eyes..............

             Suddenly,I felt a great warmth of a hand instead of rough devilish touch of the coming train.Yes..it was my master whom I used to love a lot.He took me in to his hands and hugged me with a lot of love and affection.I glanced at his merciful eyes for a while.At that time,i noticed that his eyes were also full of tears as mine.
