A GIRL; A PEBBLE ; A SHOE:

                                                         

Sona could not sleep that night remembering the pebble that often comes every night in her dream at a lightning speed towards her eyes with an urge to smash her head into pieces which made her to woke up in the middle of every night but later realizing the that pebble was a virtual dream yet it pained her body as if she escaped from great danger in reality. But she firmly believed that stone would bring enormous power and wealth to her irrespective of its gigantic density. Sona after completing her under graduation course at the Cambridge fell in love with a guy named Raju. Sona married raju at London and her soul often dreamed of wearing Raju’s shoes ever since she met him. Raju was kind to her but sona restricted herself from wearing Raju’s Shoes as she felt she would be committing a great disrespect to her husband and often refrained from wearing his shoes. Still the pebble came in her dreams at a lightning speed virtually painful yet she felt it as a sign of Good fortune.

          Years passed , Raju’s passed away and one fine morning sona sat behind her husband shoes feeling all the love she had for him. She felt its time at least once she should wear Raju’s shoes so as to attenuate the absence of Raju in her life as his shoes are the only thing which she felt her husband still lives with her. As she stepped inside Raju’s shoes a sudden blast of thunder and light sparked her home the pebble came at a lightening speed towards her and this time sona fainted on the floor unconscious her foot encapsulated by her husband’s shoes.
