Haji reached the village in the late evening. He was too excited to realize he had walked all morning. There was his Hut. His mango tree. His Lajjo tied to the tree. He saw the small hole dug by the goat. He started digging with his bare hands.
Kulsum was weeping all night and the next morning. She thought of telling the sarpanch of Haji’s absence. But thought of waiting one more day.
She was lying in her hut when she heard some sound outside. Was it Chandbi trying to thief on her goat? She got up hurriedly and opened the door to her hut.
She found Haji there on his knees.
“Did you find the treasure”, Kulsum asked, relieved to see him.
Haji smiled which turn into a laugh showing his broken front tooth.
And then she saw Gold. Lots of Gold.
Kulsum smiled.
Mom: Kya Samjha?
Me: hmmm?
Mom: what’s the moral of the story?
Me: Follow your dreams.
