Snow covered mountains thousands of miles. All year bone chilling weather
enough to freeze human soul. At this time two people one old and one young
man walking side by side like a zombie. In infinite silence of this snow covered
mountain field you can only hear their heavy breathing sound.
Young man took water bottle from his back but found that water in bottle is
also became ice. He sighed and looked his side old man still fool of high spirit
like going for war full of honor.
"Grandpa how long gonna it take to get that place I"m dead tired already."
"Young man, look at your age and look at my age you don"t feel shame on
yourself."
"Come on grandpa you even didn"t tell me where are we going what is purpose
for so long journey people feel like dead."
"No worries you will soon know and when you know you will think that you are
the luckiest person to be born."
"Fine let"s see what you are plotting in your mind."
Young man named Devansh is a orphan. He doesn"t know much about this old
man just call him grandpa. Grandpa is his only family taking care of him from
very young every time when Devansh asked about himself grandpa only said
that he found Devansh at bank of river and other things he don"t need to
know.
Grandpa isn"t a rich person but he always took care of his every need from
study to food. Grandpa even didn"t let him work to solve family burden. But
Devansh still does part-time work at the same time he"s more mature than
same age peoples.
About a month ago in their old house suddenly old man started laughing. After
laughing more than an hour he said it"s time about our journey. Well it"s more
than a month they are here. Think about this whole month Devansh just want
to quit and sleep for weak well he still can"t do that.
They kept walking forward don"t know how long they walked. Devansh slowed
down to get his breath.
"grandpa give me five minutes for rest then we continue."
"ok young man you rest I look around then we move on"
"man this journey is so long." Devansh took deep breath.
Suddenly there was an earth quack. Devansh unable to control his body and
fall in snow.
"Ahhh….."
Soon devansh heard a cry. His heart skips a beat and forehead emerged fine
sweat. He ran in direction of sound. After a breath of time a deep pit emerged
in front of his eyes.
In pit he saw a rock in center of pit and old man on rock his body in strange
shape. Horror of this shape he can"t define. At this moment he felt like his
whole world is destroyed.
Devansh took rope tide a rock nearby then jumped in pit. then ran to old man.
"grandpa are you all right talk to me you don"t gonna have anything don"t
worry I will save don"t worry grandpa."
When he was near to old man what first came to his sight was blood whole
rock was covered with blood. Blood was still hot and some smoke was rising
from blood. Devansh was unable to control his tears at this time he can only
hear sound of this heart beats so heavy that his body feels light unable to
control balance of body fall on knees.
Devansh with his shaking hand touched face of old man. Old man"s limps were
moved into strange shape he don"t know how much pain was old man
suffering from or his body has lost senses.
Old man saw crying devansh his eyes filled with kindness smiled and said
"come to me child I don"t have time"
"Don"t say that grandpa I will save you I will take you to hospital you gonna be
alright"
"No I know I don"t have time you don"t talk just listen to me"
Devansh took old man"s hand in his shaking hands said "Grandpa don"t leave
me I don"t want to be alone"
"I"m sorry child I can"t do this. I"m sorry I was unable to give you happiness."
"No you don"t say that grandpa when I don"t know who were my parents and
they abounded me you are the one who always been with me if you also leave
me I don"t know what will I do"
"don"t talk child listen to me I don"t have time you must listen to me"
Devansh chocked tears more uncontrolled flowed his face was wet with tears
and heart was filled with pain. He cursed why grandpa have to die why he is so
unlucky why he is the only one who have to suffer.
Old man watched his grandson"s face filled with tears his face forced a warm
smile and said "Don"t worry every man has to follow his destiny looks like I can
only be with you till here next road you have to walk alone."
"take this map walk straight and you will see two stone pillars in bag there are
to round objects which will work as key which will open gate to G.o.ds temple.
You have to look for mystery it contains this is my last wish will you fulfill it my
child? "
Devansh"s world was collapsed he said "don"t worry grandpa I will do as ypu
said"
"go fast don"t stay here we don"t have time silver moon is about to come you
have to go fast and let my body stay here I feel comfortable when you will be
out of temple then took my body"
Devansh"s face full of pain and tears he stood up and walked at the foot of old
man bent on his knees and knocked his head didn"t said anything and stood up.
"good child go remember to be a good person fight for your happiness the old
man was unable to do anything for you so forgive me go now child wish you
happiness" then old man closed his eyes.
"Thank you for everything grandpa"
Devansh stood up wiped his tears climbed rope bent towards the hole then
walked in that direction.
He don"t know when he left hole old man opened his eyes and stood up his
face emerged out a kind and warm smile and murmured "this is your destiny
next journey you have to walk alone don"t let m down"
Then old man disappeared in smoke and hole also disappeared like it was
never been there.
