A Story of The Setting Sun and The Moon
The road comes from somewhere
and goes straight somewhere else caring not the Chautari* that awaits him, goes past, leaving her where she is. Nothing different happens elsewhere, too the same it is in every single age. Not a single road ever has gone off, Chautari walking on its side. The road kept coming and continued going somewhere alone - a stranger. Chautari kept awaiting looking far, crying and wiping her eyes in silence as a forlorn village in the deserted plain. Never could the road be the guest of Chautari's love nor could she follow the footmarks of the going. This evening, too the sun had to tell the same story before he went away, leaving the forlorn moon hankering after his light. .....................................................................
