Lord was killed
#TheWritingProject
In the scorching summer a begger gave birth to an infant. Already suffering from hunger she didn't have resources to nourish the infant. For the better future she left the infant at the shrine gate.
The cry of the infant attracted several people. The young landlord was passing by. He stopped to take a look. The crowd was surrounding the child but no one dared to hold the infant in his or her arms. Soon a monk came out of the shrine. He ran down the stairs to hold that baby. But before he could reach there, a middle aged man picked the infant. Middle aged man said, "If no one is willing to take this infant then I would like to take the baby with me."
The monk yelled, " But you runs a brothel.
Please anyone else. But not this man."
People were standing like a dumb statues. No one was willing to adopt that child.
One of the minions of the young landlord said, " Our landlord will solve this problem."
The young landlord who was already drunk boasted himself. In an unclear voice he commanded, " If the infant is a boy then monk will raise him and if it is a girl then she will be sent to brothel."
The minions praised the landlord for his foolish decision. People around him knowing that the decision is a sin remain silent.
Monk holding the baby in his arm declared that it was a boy. Then he took the baby inside the shrine. He named the infant as 'Megh' (cloud).On asking the monk he always explained that the day he (infant) entered the shrine was a cloudy day.
Years passed Megh became an adorable teenager. Since from his childhood he was extremely beautiful. At one glance people always get confused whether he was a boy or a girl.
Although his voice was quite harsh but when he start singing it was more melodious than the female singers of the village.
On day Megh was shopping in the market. He saw a pigeon on the ground. It wasn't moving. At first he thought it was dead. But then he started thinking if the pigeon is dead then why there ain't any maggots on it. When he tried to touch the pigeon, it clutched the fingers of Megh. He was happy to see the bird alive. He picked up the pigeon and put it in the basket. When he asked the priest of the shrine to keep the pigeon he ( priest) denied.
When he placed the bird on the tree it fell. Its feathers were plucked out by someone which made it hard to fly for the bird. Megh picked the bird and hide it under his robe close to his chest. He started searching for a doctor.
The young landlord now became a middle aged man. He saw Megh searching for a doctor. Thinking that Megh was a girl he was charmed by his beauty. He order his servant to sent Megh to his wagon. Servant did so. When Megh entered the wagon, the landlord grabbed his arm and made him sit on his lap. He touched the pigeon and mistook it as Megh's breast. With a mind filled with lust the landlord put his hands beneath the Megh's robe and squeezed his chest. The pigeon on being pushed strike it's pointed beak on his hand. The bird made a continuous attack on his hand. The landlord cried in pain. The servants were standing outside the wagon but dared not enter it, thinking that God knows what the pervert landlord doing in the wagon. Megh was still confused. He said, " Aren't you a doctor? You can treat your wound on your own. As for my pigeon I am going to find some other doctor."
Then he jumped out of wagon and disappeared in no time.
Megh was still confused. He didn't understand the intention of the landlord. He was thinking why everyone hated his pigeon. He took the bird to the shrine but hide it in his room. In the evening the bird disappeared. Megh trembled in fear. He started searching it in the whole shrine. Poor boy he couldn't even tell anyone what he is searching.
While running in the corridor he collide with the monk who adopted him. He pulled Megh by his collar and dragged him to the main priest's room. Megh thought that he was going to be punished for being making chaos in the shrine. Monk along with Megh entered the room. There Megh saw the pigeon was sitting on pillow which was kept on the study table of the priest.
The priest said, " Why did you bring the bird in the shrine?"
Megh with tears in his eyes replied, " I wanted to see the bird fly again. I know you have denied to keep it but I couldn't find a home for it. So.."
"So brought the bird here. Why didn't you told us that the bird is a injured?", said the priest in a loud voice.
Megh didn't replied. He ran outside the room. Monk followed him. They both went to the shrine's garden where Megh asked the monk, "Why everyone is against keeping an injured pigeon? People in the market also denied to keep it. Then the priest too denied. If you are strong enough to save a life then why do you hesitate? What is the meaning of being alive if we leave the other living being to die soon? What's wrong with helping the bird to survive?"
The priest who was standing behind without the Megh's knowledge put his hand over Megh's head. He said, " Megh I declare that you will become the head priest after me. Your sense of kindness and justice is not bounded by worldly people."
"Then may I keep the bird?", asked Megh.
