The night
was quite , spilling moonlight all over the lonely road and not a single soul
was visible till far .
Just like
his life where everyone had closed doors .
They were
all around till he was of some use for them but when his time came to get paid back ,
in a blink of an eye they turned their
faces away leaving him stranded in the middle of life’s path .
And today
here he was on this fateful night zooming across trees that played hide and
seek in the dark , like good times which often plays with people , bestowed
with a good heart .
“ All of
them , they all are same “he thought “ It isn’t their mistake but mine for not having recognized the world and it’s
ways .”
With lots of
hope he had approached them again but unfortunately empty handed he returned back .
“ We should
never help anyone in their need “ he said out loud knowing very well that
nobody was listening .
Tears
struggled on the verge of falling down through his black eyes which now held a
swollen look owing to the sleepless nights he spent for a prolonged period .
The cold
wind dashed into his brown skin like those emotionless words which were
unsuccessful in bringing out the pain on his face but wrenched his heart deep within .
“ Those who
don’t have the ability to reach shouldn’t dream big , remain where you are , that’s
what you are destined for “ he was advised the same morning .
He always
believed Almighty’s there somewhere , near by listening to his silent pleas .
If he does
, then where has he vanished testing the limits of his patience and his honesty .
His eyes
fell on a man standing at a distance , asking for lift but this time he decided
not to stop.
“Enough of
good work , they are leading me nowhere” he thought and crossed that man instantly
without even glancing sideways .
But his kind
heart forbid him from doing so , turning his bike again , he went towards that
man to inquire if he really need help .
Seeing the
bike approach , the man ran forwards with all his might and fell down at his
feet surprising the bike rider in return
.
The man said
in a pleading voice “Sir my son is
admitted in the hospital and I was going near him , when my bike suddenly
stopped on this road . For the past few hours I am asking every passerby for
lift but nobody stopped . Thank God ! I knew someone will definitely come to my
rescue “
“It’s ok” he
said , made him sit on the pillion and dropped him near the city hospital in
about half an hour .
“ Ok tell me one thing “ he asked “After you
were denied by every passer by how did you still believe that somebody will give you a lift . “
“ Sir you
know , someone’s there above who listens
to the prayers of true hearts and He
will come to help us in some or the
other form .“ the man replied with a modest smile on his face before vanishing
inside the hospital corridor .
Next day….
An unknown
number blinked on his phone’s screen .
“ Hello “
“ Your project
has been approved sir , “ said the
voice on the other side .
The
tinkering sound of the bells from the nearby shrine flowed in , reinforcing his
belief that yes someone’s there above who listens to the prayers of honest hearts .
