Since the sun was sitting a young man was sitting a corner

Since the sun was sitting, a young man was sitting a corner at the main square in Wari bazaar, where people were intensely busy dealing with each other; a traffic warden would whistle loudly when a car would take a No Parking spot, the keepers behind the pushcarts on the roadside had started calling people enthusiastically to sell off their stuff as early as possible to make their way homes, and the plain coaches had taken the staffs to carry the far off passengers before the night spread.

Then, when the Muazzin called for the evening prayer, the shops were being closed and the buyers took their way while having shoppers full of goods toward their homes. The marketplace fell deserted, and when it was called for the night prayer by the Muazzin, then just a tea shop at the main square was remaining open, and a lamp was lightening over a cabin before a closed shop at a side where an old man had wrapped a counterpane around his body, played radio on and waiting if someone came that he could sell cigarette and snuff to him.

The young man had retained his position same over a couple of hours, having wrapped up in a blanket. Yet thirty days were remaining in December, but the nights were more than enough cold just a blanket was not enough if a person would stay barred sky. The young man was shivering. The waiters and the tea maker of the tea shop were thinking him a lunatic, but they were wrong when he, after a while, got up, came inside the shop, and ordered a cup of tea.

The tea maker felt unconditionally guilty by thinking him not a normal person, and so himself came

and sit near him on the bench and ordered one of his waiters to make the tea. "I thought you might be one of those lunatics there often sit, you know. I'm sorry." The tea maker didn't need to explain this, but he did, anyhow. "Oh No! I'm alright. I felt cold, that's why came this way. You must not have any problem, yeah? By the way, I'm ordering tea as well." He meant he was not all for nothing sitting in their shop. "No, there's no problem. You can sit here all for nothing, we don't have any problem. This shop closes late at night. You can pass the night here as well if you have missed your car in case." The tea maker thought that he might be a passenger having missed the vehicle of his village. "No. My village is not that way far, I can go even by feet... probably by five hours maximum." The young man said. The tea maker was distracted by him. If he was alright with his wealth, home, and everything, then what was he doing that light night at the marketplace, being wrapped up in a blanket like those of beggars or lunatics. Was he waiting for anybody, he asked him. "My name is Noor and I am not waiting anybody. In fact, I'm waiting my luck... my destiny. I'm lacking my star in the sky. My star is missing." He replied. His name was Noor. "What do you mean? You mean you are not finding your star... you mean you have lost your star, yeah?" He was anxiously surprised. "Yeah," Noor answered.

"Then why are you wandering here in the marketplace? Your star must be somewhere in the sky, what are you searching for here?" The tea maker asked, while far more worried for him in his heart. "I know. I came through all the people in the village, but no one got me to find my star. Then someone told me I may find someone in the marketplace who may find me my star." "That's right." The tea maker nodded his head and then continued to say, "Even we don't know how to find you your star." "I can understand." Said Noor. Yet the cup of tea arrived before him. "Do you know about your star?" While taking just a sip, he asked. "Yes. I do know about my star. It is there in the sky, I can show you if you can come outside the shop along with me." "It's alright, I believe you know about your star. But can I ask who showed you your star?" Noor, then, asked him politely. "Of course, my father showed me my star. I remember when I was yet a child, my father would daily show me my star through the tip of my four finger. I remember my star since. Didn't your father show you your star?" "Even my father daily showed me my star through my finger, and even I kept my star remembered for the previous several years, but now, I have lost that, I am not finding my star back in the region where that would shine." "I'm compassionate about you. I wish you find your star, otherwise, you know, you may not be allowed into heaven after death. Our God is very strict about one's star, you must know

this." The tea maker said while Noor was sipping through the cup. "Thank you for your concern, you said right. I'm also worried about my entrance into heaven after my death. All my family members have their stars in the sky, but my star is missing. I'm very concerned about my family in this world, I want to live with them even after death. If my star was missing in their circle, I may not be allowed with them in heaven. Also, in this world, when someone missing his star, his life passes not very healthy, people says. Since I have lost my star, I'm tired even after taking days of rest. I'm sleepless and unsatisfied. My life goes unconsciously, and my body feels pain nothing is seeming under my control. I severely need to find my star." He was almost about to cry, but soon controlled himself and wept his tears. "But you didn't tell me when you lost your star?" "There's not a single day on which I lost that. It's, in fact, a journey... a journey of losing my star. Since my father had shown me my star, I'd daily looked at that and kept that remember, but since few years, I found my star missing gradually, and for the last one year, that's all missing." "If you don't mind, can I ask you something?" "Yeah, ask me!" "Please don't mind, but no one loses his star just all for nothing. You must have skipped looking at your star for some days, otherwise, it's just impossible." "Yes, I had skipped, but I was sick those days. I was just up to bed... couldn't take even a single step down." Said Noor.
