Godly Mocks

Sparing the rays of 52°C, the sun was becoming a ball of fire and the heat led trees to find shade. Sitting on a heavenly court God listened to the cries and angles as well when a woman laborer with a poor little girl was whipped by her holder. As her daughter couldn't brace the burning earth mother asked her to rest under the shade and it aggrieved the holder. This earth-shaking act made God appear on the earth as a human being to experience the all suffering as a human. He disembarked himself from the heavenly court and appeared in a town as a bare feet boy. This dismemberment was of heavenly purpose to experience human sufferings. Sitting on a cliffy rock, the breeze was smacking his hair and the town boy was glimpsing the ongoing life. The faint chirping of birds was wracking his nerves and dewdrops over green grass were giving a cold essence to his bare feet as dazzling rays of the summer sun were usurping the sweet strings of dreams. This all was a beautiful welcome to a new inning of life. Without knowing how to start or what to do he left up his seat and set forth to the way leading to the main bazaar of the town. Life was going on as women, young and even minors were emanating from their shelters on the heels of each other to hunt for livelihoods. Noise, confusion, and the crowd of the bazaar were rifting his mind. The next noticeable thing was the cries of vendors that were making it alive, the smell of cattle and cow dung, children playing games, or scuffling the gutter to find a lost coin. Goats move through the bazaar searching for tidbits of stale discarded vegetables. Those, who could dare, were helping the shopkeepers at open stalls. The blare of the loudspeaker was playing a popular song of NFAK "Tmhen dill lagi bhool jani pry gi" to attract the paramount customers.

He asked one shopman for a job and he stared at his face with rage backing on his feet the boy got out of the shop instantly. Hapless of the first he entered the next shop and the same response he earned as later. Seemingly, he thought there should be some reason behind all these reactions. Coming out of the bazaar while entering the town he observed a white creature of near 90 years with powder white hair and a winter white long beard, in a vast pasture, he was herding the sheep. Approaching the man he greeted with a quiet formal tone and asked about a solution for the problem he faced in the bazaar. The old man smiled with teetered lips as he got to know about the problem. The old man answered that these days Juvenile law is being enforced with strict punishment to offenders and all shopkeepers are afraid of this law that keeping minors to labor can be delinquency. This answer escalated the worries of the young lad but at any cost, he decided to get a job. The old man advised him to visit some backward slums where there could be less influence of this law and he could find a job there. At last, he succeeded to find a village afar from the town. To ward off the burning earth, he broke some leaves to cover his feet. In the periphery of the village, there was a Poplar tree and a group of born people was sitting idle on the large Indian beds and discussing something with each other. The boy stated his problem and one of them asked him to visit Chaudhary's home and he did the same. The boy was leaping with rejoicing as he got some opportunity to his aim. Chaudhary assigned him from simple cleaning of the house to dispatching the manure of his farm. Before the awakening of the sun, he got to his work and kept on going and going. Till night his labor was completed and he was called for a meal and he got the meal that was not quite enough to quench his deficit of hunger developed during the whole day toils. Poor lad with swatches of tiredness on his fragile face laid on the bare floor but slept in a while as all turmoil resulted in the aching of every inch of his body. In this deep sleep, it was seeming that he would not be able to get out of the bed. The same happened and Chaudhary appeared in a quite hawkish mood and started flogging the boy. This impunity trenched his soul & the boy abruptly got to his duties. The day was changed but his turmoils were same and the tragedy happened again on a coming day and he could brace only four sleep in the Chaudhary's farm and the fifth night he fled from the farm to search for another work.

The night aided the innocent soul to find another job for his livelihood. On the very next morning, he again met that white beard old man and again described the happenings. The old man took pity on the poor lad and thought for his employment. Then he decided to keep the boy for herding his sheep and the boy accepted the proposal. Boy's duty was to take care of the herd, feed it, and its safety from the wolves and other wild attackers. The first thing that the boy asked from the old man was about punishment leading to any mishap and in return, the old man just passed a smile. The old man said that sheep do not belong to him and in case of any casualty, they both will pay half of any setback. This load was not so hectic as the herd was trained of the paths and pastures and during the night his duty was to watch out the pack from wild animals. Since the farm was quite near the forest and that night luck was not favoring him when wolves attacked the flock. The boy tried his best to save the flock but some of the sheep were slaughtered in this while and the horrific night passed without any further attack. According to the deal he was asked to pay the half but he did not have even a single penny in his hand. The boy proposed to cover the damage from his pay and ensured to work until payment would be completed and the old man accepted the proposal. He continued to work with the old man for years and years until his debt was cleared.

This company settled the life of the boy and now he was a grown young man. On a good day, they both visited the city which was a quite long distance. In a city at the main square, he observed some mobs brigading with each other on the political issues, on the next square some people were arguing on religion which resulted in the injury of some beings and some got arrested after this riot. Going forward they went in deep and dark streets of the city where an old building on the verge of falling was staying. At the very entrance of the gate, there were guards with arsenals sitting there and as they stepped into the building there was a disdain climate. Lasses of varying colors, heights, figures and ages were awaiting on the doors of dull rooms with seducing sight and hapless faces. At the corner of the one floor the boy crossed his eyes and her forlorn face dismantled the wandering sight of the boy. They both stopped and with helplessness in her eyes and a look of fear on her face, the girl opened the door. As soon as the two entered, the girl folded her hands and said, "Sir, don't smoke. My body is already badly injured."

The boy told her not to misunderstand them, they did not come with the intention you are thinking. The old man asked in a very soft tone, "What is the reason for being stuck in this swamp?" The girl replied that her parents forcibly gave her in marriage to a drug addict boy and he used to beat me a lot, he became obsessed at night when he was not addicted. One night when he didn't have anything for addiction, he sold me one night, and then it became habitual for him. Two years passed with great soul-trenching incidents and then one day she ran away from home and went to her parents but they refused to accept her and her brothers kicked her out of the house. She ran away and started thinking of earning something for her two children. This effort took a long time but nothing came of it. When motherhood forced more, she came to the brothel from where she and her children get food. The old man gave the girl some money and they both left. They left but the boy did not calm down and he returned to the same brothel that night and the girl away. The boy then married her and brought her to the old man's house. When he woke up in the morning, the villagers found out about this and threatened to take the prostitute out of the village and he remained silent but at night the villagers set fire to the old man's house. They both fled from the home to find another shelter but all was vain as no one was willing to offer them a shield. They wandered from one place to another to find livelihood resulted in nothing in their hand. Years kept on passing in this privation and children were becoming rickety and pitiless without enough uptake of food. One night one of his children died of starvation and his wife complained that she was living in better condition in a brothel than seeing dying her children hapless. These step by step living in this heinous and squalid world was decimating his hopes of keeping it on. This all turned on his wrath and he decided to wrap the world left up in heaven forever to make the innocent souls free of all the coercions.
