" The world , the population, the species evolved at every stage and maybe hope was the biggest factor deciding it "
THE life was cursed and dark . I was standing at the boundary of Zaveri village , don't wanted to step ahead . I knew there was nothing good here but my heart didn't wanted to take a single step ahead but my brain was totally convinced to progress. I was shocked and unsound between battle of brain and heart . I have a question for you? In such a slim situation what would you have choosen a brain or heart. You might have your reason as per your reasoning but the solution to it is completely vague and bittersome . As in such a situation it is better to not listen to anyone so I thought to have a detour.
I roamed at the main market of the village . Undoubtedly, it is most magnificent village as all rich merchants preferably lived here and also carry out their trade here . No surprise this market offers the biggest luxury to anyone who can afford . It is also the biggest diamond market which offers variety of diamond. No way this village is for any ordinary people like me . This also gives me a reason why mother has choosen this comfort and lavish lifestyle here , nay , being with me . I wonder alot as I was walking all over the market .
To my surprise no one today was concerned with a low life like me hanging around at this market ,which shouldn't have been the case anyday. To which I heard some passers-by talking about the grand meet up at ' Motilal's ' house. Yeah ! you guessed it right Motilal is name of that fat old pig . Some people also call him ' Ghapuraj' which itself was quite funny to hear .
" Money money everywhere, here and there , everywhere,
If you have it you shone , and if you don't you are drown "
Roaming with own thoughts 💭 suddenly there was a huge noice of speeded car suddenly putted break and it just stopped 10 cm before me . As an automatic defence, I covered my one eye with hand and defending other hand against car . As I would have stopped car 😆... well not a movement to laugh . I would have died at the very spot . Well death would have been better though at that time .
At that time cab driver came out as soon as the car stopped and the way he closed the door that noice of bang is still echoed to me . Following him a old couple aging above 60 got out of the car even . I still remember that cab driver was tensed but as soon as he saw me all good , he spouted some evil words on my carelessness thought it was true I was careless .
I stood up and In meantime the old man came progressing towards me he enquired ," Who are you boy? , Are you so eager to die at very first place ? " . I don't intend to answer but I said no I was in a middle of a certain thought so couldn't help me ,refraining from thinking that ...
" Oh ! I see ".. old man with grim and hopeless face muttered . To which that man's wife interrupted why the hell are you wasting time on such lowlife. To which he told it's just this generation don't know anything good . I was listening this all after all ofcourse I can't argue , fault was mine .
I apologized for my behaviour and decided to part ways but old man called me from behind as if asking me to stop " Hold on young man ." I genuinely thought I am already done with all bads if this old man happens to say any other word ,I don't mind him killing him now ...Along with wrinkled face pathetic wife of him .🤬.
But to my surprise, "Are you happen to want to go to near Village " he told . I was perplexed to know how he knew this I wanted to leave this place at first place and why is he even bothered. Aaah ! it's too complicated but I nodded, ofcourse it's was disaster for his wife . I was waiting for him to give an answer about how he knew but I was bolt with his next question ❓. Are you hungry ❓... I said no hmmm, but my stomach didn't support my words .
Offering me to eat that old man invited me to his cab told join me we are going at Ashutosh Village. Maybe that's your destination. Ashutosh Village - I haven't heard of it yet I didn't knew anything about Manpada but I thought that man won't take money , gave me good , might be he genuinely good man unlike my uncle who sold me and my mom. I told I will accompany you , though this displeased his wife
I finally left Zaveri village and reached Ashutosh Village.... A whole new village it wasn't as big or rich as Zaveri village but it was filled with scentic Beauty and it is located next to river bank. The river connecting major river between between black and white land . So, erasing or better to say pretending to erase every other thoughts of past I look forward for my life in Ashutosh Village. At the end what I need is peace .
Very moment after getting out of the car , I streched a bit looking all over the place . Left , Right , above and below. It seemed it poured few minutes before as weather was somewhat cool and moistness and dampness were traceable.
Soon after me old couples got out. I still don't knew their names . In whole journey we never spoke to each other . I tried initiating conversation few times but that mean look of lady , didn't gave a single shred of strength. Though actions of them were completely weird throughout the journey. In a attempt to part ways from them at earliest.
I said " Well, Thanks grandpa and my lovely grandma ."
Lol I called her lovely, I was actually thinking quite opposite of her . She still persisted with her mean look . It seemed that man was done giving fare to cab driver as he stood front to me next to the lady .
I told old man there's something I want to ask , before bidding farewell. He replied " Experience" ...
" What ?" ...
"Yes, you heard it right , it was something called as experience combined with gut feeling"
I knew one thing I didn't asked any questions to him yet . I told I didn't asked you anything still,to which he countered me with " Isn't your question that how did I knew that you wanted to travel to next village ."
I told , " no it's not what you thinking . "
he told," For real ?"
Though I knew I was actually intending to travel . I lied .
"So, where are you gonna stay here ? , Do you have any relative or friend over here ?"...
" I don't know, I will figure out to stay somewhere, I suppose this village do have kind people like you and grandma " ... Her mean look was getting tensed and I was enjoying watching her getting frustrated 🥴.
"Why don't you come to my place "...
" Honey! are you mad " puked Grandma ...
" No - No ! I will be fine with me I can't bother you more " ...
" It's fine boy , moreover we won't let you stay for free , you will work there "
Surprisingly Grandma stopped complaining... I gave it a thought ...Maybe it's not the bad idea ... I agreed since it would be better If I get food ,shelter and can also earn some money .
But I hate my life again... First got out of a hell once to other hell and now this hope was sooner gonna be more worse hell ... Is life that worst ?
