Evening sun is smiling at the drops of sweat on the chest
of the mason.
The mason is smiling at the shining mansion.
The mason remembers the day he finished building the
mansion of his master.
“Master, your mansion is ready for your family”
The master, left saying ‘Thank you’.
A few days later……….
Everyone is talking about the mansion built by the mason, keeping
every brick methodically and scientifically.
Thank you for thanking me, master, ‘is it possible to
obtain my payment’.
The mason asked, the master who is watching the official
celebration of ‘International shelter day’
‘I gave it to your contractor’, master replied without looking
at the mason.
The mason, left the mansion quietly, without asking any
further questions, thinking of the little one waiting for his day’s cookie,
Thinking of the loan taken to pay the fee of the house
rented by the mason,
Thinking of his wife waiting his arrival, to payback the ‘credits
of the boutique’.
The mason, knocked at the door of the contractor.
No sign of the contractor a notice, ‘beware of dogs’ welcomed
him instead.
A dog barked at the mason like a Dracula waiting for
supper.
The disappointed mason, returned home with emptied pocket.
“Did you get your salary?’
The wife of the mason, did not try to ask him the question
came into her mind.
Yet, the mason read her face and told,
“The master had gone abroad’ we may get our salary when he
returns.”
The hearth of the
mason’s house produced no smoke.
The night falls earlier than they expected.
The moon peeped through the window of the mansion and of
the mason.
The glittering neon lights of the mansion looked marvelous.
The invitees were eating chicken and mutton’, and the kids………..enjoying ice creams.
The little one of the mason, slept eating nothing.
The wife of the mason, neaten and kept a side the cloth her
kid wore for the big celebration ‘International children’s day’.
