Like hitting a rock with a hammer, life hits us hard sometimes*
When I passed through the corner of the street,filled with desperation and hopelessness,my eyes fell on the old lady sitting near the wall.As usual she was sitting on a small old rug,torn and worn out with dust and dirt engulfing it around from each corner.I saw her everyday,when I passed by there,her eyes were always fixed on the road.I wondered what was so attractive in the dusty busy road that she kept staring at it with her shining yet mysteriously beautiful eyes that were like a deep ocean,making you drown in them.They appeared to me as the most beautiful eyes but still the beauty couldn't hide the untold story of pain that she had burried down in her heart.I wanted to ask her about it but lacked the courage to do so.I started to approach towards her but lost my courage again.As I was about to turn back,she moved her sight towards me with a gleam of happiness on her face that disappeared as soon as she looked at my face.'Why did her smile fade away!Was it because of me'I thought in my mind.I decided to ask her but as I was about to ask,she started talking.For the very first time,I heard her voice which too was filled with the same pain and longing.''Im sorry my child,your shadow felt like someone else to me. May Almighty bless you my dear.'',as she was giving me her prayers,she choked in between,I hurriedly ran to the nearby tea stall and asked for water.I gave her water and my heart wrenched when I saw her moist wrinkled cheeks.They were glistening like pearls on white snow.She smiled at me,trying to stop her already flowing tears.I couldn't stop myself from crying,I didn't want her to cry more because of me so I ran back as fast as I could.
Back at home,I closed the door and started crying aloud.My sister came running to me and patted me on my back,''What happened?Why are you crying?Stop crying,Stop it please,you are brave right!Stop or else I won't be able to control.'',She kept telling me while she embraced me tight in her arms.After a long time,when my cheeks dried and my tears stopped,my sister asked me,''Why were you crying?'' .''I don't know what happened to me,I just couldn't control myself'',I replied as the old lady's crying face flashed in front of my eyes.''Is it because of your admission fee?look at me,I've talked to Mr.Inayat about your condition,he asked me to send you tomorrow,don't worry he...''she was telling me but I interrupted her in the middle,''He has already helped a lot,It would be a shame to ask for more.''I insisted.But she comforted me and told me that he had called himself to ask for me.At last she motivated me to visit Mr.Inayat ignoring all of my excuses.
The next day,I passed through the street and stopped near the corner,where two spoiled teenagers were abusing the old lady,''Why did you touch my ball with your filthy hands'',said one of them.''It just rolled here,my child.I tried to give it back to you '',she replied with a calm tone.''Shut your mouth,you oldie!'',another one spoke and this time I couldn't resist myself.I went to them and shouted at them,''Why are you talking to her like that, don't you have any manners.Is this how you talk to elders''.They didn't pay any heed and went away muttering...
