MS JAIYESTHRI Ramasamy wanted to leave her two sons with her aunt before heading to Choa Chu Kang Christian cemetery for a relative's burial.迷你倉西貢 But 31/2-year-old Kryshan Nirmal Kumar refused to leave his mother's side."My little one was too attached to me," said the grief- stricken 30-year-old, who saw her boy killed at the cemetery last Sunday, when the private bus which took them there ran over him."The tyre hit him, and ran right over him. I heard his skull crack, and saw the blood splatter," recalled the pre-school teacher, breaking down in tears. "I can still see the whole accident, him being so helpless. It's the only thing that flashes in my mind. I don't blame anyone. I just want my son to come back to me."Kryshan was buried at the Choa Chu Kang Hindu cemetery on Monday evening in front of around hundred friends and family members.When The Straits Times visited Ms Jaiyesthri at her father's four-room flat in Woodlands where she lives on Tuesday night, there was a shrine for him, with strawberries and cherry tomatoes arranged in front. "Those were his favourites," said his mother, with her other son, five-year-old Arshavin, sleeping beside her on the couch.It was his younger brother who was particularly close to their mother, who described how Kryshan would wait up for her each night to go to sleep. She finds it hard to come to terms with how she could only look on when her young one was being crushed."I keep losing sleep over that," she said, insisting that she was holding on to both of her sons when the tragedy happened."I'm a very careful person. I'm always very cautious on roads. My two sons have always been safe crossing bigger roads with me. I would not have let go of my sons' hands."They had just alighted from the bus and were crossing in front of it, when Arshavin's shoelaces came undone.迷你倉將軍澳It was muddy by the side of the road, and people were still alighting from the bus behind us," recounted Ms Jaiyesthri. "So I took some steps away from the bus to do his laces. My little one was right beside me. It took me less than five seconds and I grabbed both of my kids again."She said they were about 1m in front of the bus when it suddenly started moving off. "The bus hit all three of us first. Arshavin was on my left, and my little one was on my right. My natural instinct was to pull both of them back. But Kryshan just went under the bus. It was too fast for him to take bigger steps. I shouted and tapped on the front of the bus but the driver didn't stop. He was not supposed to take off so quickly - it was a small lane, and there was a car in front."The 48-year-old bus driver has been arrested for allegedly causing death by a negligent act, and is assisting the police with their investigations.Efforts to reach the bus company and the driver were unsuccessful. But a friend of his, who wanted to be known only as Mr Teo, said that he is a "good bus driver" who has been in the job for more than 10 years.Meanwhile, Ms Jaiyesthri, who is divorced, keeps thinking about what could have been. She never intended to take her sons along to her younger sister's former father-in-law's funeral, and had planned a day of activities for them instead. "The whole Sunday was meant for them."They had watched the movie Walking With Dinosaurs together at noon, after which Ms Jaiyesthri was going to leave her children with immediate family members while she went for the funeral. On her return, she wanted to take them to fast-food restaurant Texas Chicken at Causeway Point and then City Square Mall for its Christmas festivities, which included falling snow."My kids were looking forward to the evening."yeosamjo@sph.com.sg迷你倉尖沙咀
