Untold Story - Reminder to LTTE
Night was falling. My Kiri Amma (grand mother) retuned through paddy field directing a herd of cattle back home. She had vaguely seen some strange boys in dark suits sitting by the pathway, in unusual places. She was old, eyesight was poor. If not, that wouldn't have been the last time she returned home.
There were 13 homes in our village. Many were poor farmers. There was
one home with a TV. As it was Sunday, we all gathered there to watch the tele drama.
Seneviratne mama was cleaver; he said "we all should not stay here for long". He
came to the road & found some strangers positioning around the place we gathered.
Having nothing for his defense, he shouted. That was a call for others to flee. We heard
gun fire, it was for Senevi mama. He laid down his life and saved some lives, because
tigers had to start shooing before they circled the village completely. Though we tried to
run away, tigers were around us. My chuti nangi (little sister) was 4 yrs then, she did
not eat without listening to a story. My brother was writing something in his school book.
Suddenly Tigers hit the front door. It was not made up of strong wood, so my father kept
pushing from inside preventing force opening. When that failed, tigers fired several shots
at my father through the door, he fell still trying to keep it closed. They dashed inside,
kicked my father's body away and chopped the head away. My mother held 3 of us firmly,
trying in vain to cover us with her hands. When a tiger aimed his gun at us, she pleaded
to leave the children. He went back and came with another lady tiger. She had a sword. She
grabbed my chuti nangi away from my mother's lap and cut her neck off. Then my brother
because he tried to say something. Then my mother. When tiger girl hit my mother's neck
with the sword, I fainted. Whole night long, I cried trying to wake up my mother. She
jerked few times, and became silent. Her blood was warm, same warmth 3 children cherished
until this day.
Whole night, I heard gun fires and my relatives crying. With each gun shot, their voices dwindled. I heard Renuka nenda crying next door, pleading them to kill her. Later I learnt why she pleaded that way. A tiger man beheaded her mother, father, 3 brothers and only sister and brought all 6 heads to the road. They shot at the house opposite mine, then dashed in. There they killed Nawaratne mama's mother (my kiri amma), his elder brother, nanda and two daughters.
Following morning, many people came to see this wonder, one big person (a politician) even came in a helicopter. Bodies were collected by Army men and prepared for last rights but they could not reach the village cemetery because, tiger men were still waiting in ambush. There was another fire fight too. Then a bulldozer came and cut a mass grave and all bodies were laid in it and closed.
