A girl born was termed as "A Black Star" because she was different. She was born in a place which was all white. Everything was perfect except the black star because she was different and was an alien. The alien was considered as a threat or an enemy. Some people wanted to get rid of her while others wanted to tame her according to their own interests. But she remained different. More ordinary than all the ordinary stars yet different and the difference lies in her color which was all pure black. The white stars couldn't bear that uniqueness and they in their envy forgot that with their shinny nature and standard white color they are far more beautiful and attractive than the black star. The dilemma of the black star was that there was no one like her. Her uniqueness was the reason for her isolation. She was so alone and friendless that nobody understood her.
Her black heart was unconquered, her black thoughts were unrevealed and her black words were unheard. She was a mystery and may be this was the reason that all the white stars were so conscious about her. But the people who came near to her don't intend to explore her rather all of them wanted to rule her. Nobody came near to her in order to talk about what she wants and how she views the whole world but everybody came with an authoritative behaviour. In such circumstances, she was unable to give tongue to her heart because nobody deserved to listen to her. The only thought she had in her mind was; is there anyone all around the universe who is able to understand the reason of her black color and black tears? She wandered in the galaxy looking for that particular intimate living thing who is like her and is able to understand her. The more she travelled the more disappointed she got.
Suddenly one day lost in her thoughts she noticed around her... around all the universe. There was a thing... A black thing. She thought what it was that is so close to her, so gigantic in nature but still always unnoticed/neglected. Yeah! It was "Sky"... The color was "Black".... The home of all stars. The father of all shinning "white" stars is "black". So unique.... so enormous... so respected...
She stopped feeling alone and gloomy. She got a moment of joy that she got a company.... someone just like her. But very soon she realized that the resemblance is just apparent. There was still something that brought sadness in her and that very thought was how can the "black" sky be so respected by others when it is "black" and why is she ignored and overlooked by others because she is "black". What is the difference between a "Black Sky" and a "Black Star"? Why is it so? After thinking over and over again she came to a conclusion that the black sky is "HE" and the black star is "SHE".... and the riddle solved.... she got the answer and once again she became unique and that uniqueness brought to be the reason of her sadness. The "BLACK TEARS" of the "BLACK STAR" acted as water to iron. Gradually the Black Star rusted and rusted and ultimately decomposed and then there was NO "Black Star".
