CH-7(ii)

  "I should have told her "i said as in was passing by the roads of delhi illuminated with street lights . the sun was on its way to set giving a orange effect to the things around . But i was not looking at it . My thoughts were still revolving around my past and their ridiculous behavior of firing me of no reason .

As i was walking or you can say my legs were taking me to somewhere , i saw a park . it was the only park which could be seen as empty in this hours , when people are most interested to sit an enjoy .

there was absolute darkness illuminated by the setting sun in the west , which has hidden itself behind the earth . there was a big banyan tree under which , here was a bench to sit .

Taking my tired legs , i rested there and looked at the stars . this stars have always shown me and guided me in my way ahead but , today , i don't know why they were silent . Generally, they speak a lot of things when i feel alone but this time , they are present but there presence is not being felt .

i was still wondering about the stars and their night show when i felt the rub of cloth beside me as if a man sat . without turning my head , i tried to see his orange dress code which was not actually orange , it is known as saffron .

i had seen such dress code somewhere but i was unable to remember it . and then , i realized that i had seen such people in the temples where swati used to go during her trip to office .

A fear ran down my nerves when i realized it .Except swati , none of the people here have given me the sympathy or kindness , i need . and this man belonged to a religious community 'hinduism' and i don't think that there is a good relationship between us . what if he may scold me or argue with me ?He may even beat me . i was really afraid .

i was feeling as if someone has locked me up in a cage and i was unable to make any movement . after some minutes , i was unable to tolerate it any more . so, i stood up and was about to take my first step ahead when a voice stopped me .

"running from your life?" said the priest .

i was suddenly stopped . has he said any slangs or has he started an arguement ? later , i revised those words and got the question but was unable to get any meaning out of it . however , i realized it to be more polite to answer the words rather than standing idle .so , i turned around .

"how do you know my past ?" i asked .

"i don't know your past , son . your body language defined that you are worried about something ."

"you seem more a detective , rather than a priest " i said .

"we are like that , son . only because of experience "

i understood that this is a wise one and was thinking of a reply .

"come sit , we may discuss " he said again .

by his way of talking , i was prompted to follow his orders . so , i sat again .

"look at those stars . they are the best guides in the world . whenever you need any guidance , they will talk to you in a silent language without words . Because there is where , among those stars , our almighty lives . the god himself ."

"you are right " i said silently .

"But , there comes a time when they are unable to talk to you anymore because you already have lost the capability to understand . they try to remind you but you do not accept it ."

"hmmm..." i said . i was really surprised as the man whom , i have just met  is telling all my feelings in a go .

And The conversation was being continued  while the the orange light from the west was dimming second by second . when he asked the question  .
