Diamond in the eye

Chapter 01 The beauty of night!

In a dark starry night, the sound of the sky, the shining moon,

The glittering of the stars...

The glorious mountain, all showing their gorgeousness.

The magnificence of the night was inevitable.

For the happy and contented people: the night is like a peaceful song.

For the dejected and people filled with sorrows: it is the dark night with the cries of the stars.

For the warriors: It's a life waiting for them.

For the children: It is the palace of all the royal kings.

But, for a true and devoted believer of god. The lover of nature, it is only a picturesque, beautiful and dreadful night which soon is going to show its reality.

Everyone have their own view of describing the beauty of night.

But what about the "DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT" the pale and weak girl thought. Sleeping on streets, shivering and quivering in the dark cold night.

She said to herself "oh, dear luck? Why did you choose me? Why didn't you choose someone else? Oh God! Stop torturing me! I can't bear this night. It's been thirty days since that truck driver had thrown me into the middle of people!

But, the worse thing is that I can't remember my past.

She rubbed her nose and started sniffling and was covered in the tears that she shed for the thirty days.

Wearing a, torn sleeveless black shirt with an old jean but her golden short hairs and blue diamond eyes with beautiful face all were covered with water, in her eyes. She could shed tear and felt only fear.

Some hours past, she could hardly have slept, then she saw a bottle of water in front of her, when she stretched her arm to get it, it was gone!

She exclaimed "Oh! It was there!"

And she was only blaming God for her situation.

It was almost 8 o clock in Pakistan. Everyone woke up for work and she watched everyone of how they are busy in creating and building their lives.

Well when she started to look for food, a man appeared, not a 'man' but 'an old man'. She saw him and ignored him.

He said to her in a very kind tone "Sweet girl? Are you looking for someone? Or have you been lost?

She replied "no uncle, I am not looking for someone, nor I have been lost, neither I have my parents to see or hug­-

She stopped there, the man understood and said "if you want, you can live with me, I am not rich but if you work for me, I will give you shelter, food and money too! How is it?

She smiled and said "why are you asking? Of course, I think God has listen to me. Okay uncle, I will come with you.

"what is your name, sweetie?

Ugh....name? well I said I can't remember my past. I don't have any... She was inconsolable.

He exclaimed "Oh, that's great!

she stared at him and looked him as his words were so repellent!

And she ignored...

Well... which name would you like to choose?

Sweetie, angelica, Elizabeth?? Or –

She interrupted "I don't like to have a name" I'll like to be unknown.

And now old uncle glared at her while they were walking and he finally said "so, strange! Atypical! And she gave her some peculiar looks.

Here it is! See, sweetie its little home. I am not rich so you have to afford with me. Okay? And he got the keys from his pocket unlocked the lock and the door opened.

The girl was inside ecstatic and was contented with the feeling of excitement and for having a home.

She exclaimed "hurrah! I'll have a home! Woohoo!"

The man saw her and smiled.

'Okay come, you will get cold.'

Now they entered in little but not so Lilliputian home.

And here, sweetie's old uncle told her new and amazing stories. When she recovered her health and with great reverence to each other they became friends.

It was Monday, the old man was going to his job and she asked "uncle, Well I wonder if I ask you about your job?"

He replied "oh dear, I can't tell you, I 'work' in secret agency. We find the victims and you know..."

Oh okay I understand" she posed as she understood but still wondered of having that unusual but nice job.

Old man said "you can call me uncle Shan" This is my name

Oh okay!!uncle Shan

Well I would like to send you to a job. He said in nervousness.

And she jumped from the sofa and said "of course I can do it, uncle"

He then gave her instructions to find a locket. He gave her black rope and told her to follow that rope.

And he set off in fear and trepidation.

After some hours she left the home as it was said to her.
