Ornament or life, decide.

Kaka waded into narrow streets, looking inquisitively through the crowd walking on the road and thronging the shops. He had skipped his job today. The punishing sun was now right in the middle of the sky shining furiously as if giving company to Kaka in looking out for the girl.

'She must have returned to her village...' Kaka sighed almost ready to give up. But something egged him inside and he took a turn on a road opening to a narrow overcrowded street teeming with people and shops on the either side of the road. Even the blitzing sun had its moment of weakness in lighting up this narrow alley.

Kaka mingled with the crowd, walking slowly and looking deeply into the crowd in the shops. Suddenly he recognised a green bag on the floor inside a shop. He suddenly got energy in his steps and he dashed towards the shop which was a jewellery store.

'Pooja ...!!!' Kaka called out to the girl sitting on the chair opposite to the shop owner counting money. Kaka looked at her curiously and shot, 'what are you doing?'

'I sold the only gold ring given to me by my father...there were other jewellery at home but my father had to sell all because of financial crunch...'

'And you sold the last one he so lovingly saved for you and gave you,' Kaka had scorn in his voice.

'You should be more worried about life that's just going by...It never comes back. Fools fall in love with gold. Fall in love with your life instead,' Pooja respinded philosophically walking out of the shop holding her bag.

'Where are you going?'

'At least not back to my village. There's a whole lot of world out there'

'What will you do'

Pooja stopped at the question, stared at Kaka and spoke sarcastically, 'i am going to set up a rocket company with the money I have just got and will send sattelites in the sky like Elon Musk. Do you know anyone who wants to send a satellite and wants to rent a rocket for it.'

Kaka stared in disbelief with a stoneface and muttered disdainfully, 'you are mad!'

Pooja laughed hilariously and remarked, 'i am sure you don't know anything about what I just spoke. You are so innocent. Leave it.'

Humiliated Kaka growled, 'ya sure leave it. I am going. I was an idiot coming to look for you.' He began to walk away.

'Good bye...' Pooja shouted and spoke again as Kaka kept on walking away, '...I'm in your town...at least for somedays.'

'Fly rockets,' Kaka shouted, waving up his hand without looking back and dissolved into the crowd.
