It was dusk,i looked at the sun bidding goodbye to the world around, leaving behind its sweet kisses in the form of splendid colors .Soon it was gone with only little light left behind, when i noticed a boy walking down towards me.
He stopped by me and looked intently at me.His face looked grave unlike his age.
"What do you want ?" .I asked
"Do you have some money?".He asked.
"You don't look like a beggar boy, why do you need money.?"I asked
"I want to buy some hope for my life, there is no hope left with me.I feel hopeless".He answered.
I was taken aback by his answer, for i never thought he will answer in this ironical manner.
"Who told you money can give you hope?".I asked.
"Don't you know sir, all is well if you have lots of money, and nothings well if you don't have any.Just give me some starter cash, i will find some work , study at night and pay you back".He answered.
"what makes you ask me?".
"Sir, i have seen you come here every evening, when i thought iam all alone in this world , i would turn and spot you somewhere around.I lost my job few days back, and have no one to go to, only person i felt bonded to was you."
"i have seen you watch the sun set with such loving gaze, i have seen hope for me in your eyes.Would you help me get some hope from you?".
Like the boy i myself have wandered across that landscape to see someone sharing in that view of setting sun, oftimes i had noticed a tiny figure sitting on the rock far away and though i had always wanted to see , who it could be, somehow i could never do that.But the mere presence of that figure was very comforting.I took the boy home to hear more of his story.
