The lights of Gori..

Mohini stood at the brink.. near a tree.. looking at Vishmak as he did cut out logs from dry shrubs or bushes big enough.. and woods that were over grown..

He spoke from where he stood..

Vishmak: rest if you are tired.. i am going a little deeper .. further in woods.. you will still hear me..

he moved further .. away from the mass of piled chunks he had set near a couple of big trees..

Mohini felt a numbing as Vishmak whispered in her ears.. a croon.. a grey cloud engulfed her body .. and as she shied away.. her soul.. set on fire of his warmth .. that rose in her heart.. suffocating her existence in the surrounding filled with brilliance of multiple coloured flowers..

Mohini: let me go..

She jirked up and walked out from the edge..

The sun was about to set.. and it would be dark soon.. she looked at the hill and the small house above.. Vishmak had built for them as he had said yesterday.. when he had become sure that she was in this region.. he had a flash of vision .. he had seen her in dream.. . .. as he had said.. he had built this house to live with her untill they returned to north.. he sensed Mohini might like this place if so it wasnt fitting to disturb her least she might runaway again.. he feared so.. as he had explained to her.. yesterday.. night..

She gathered some dry leaves to light a fire under the shadow of the giant rock..
She lit fire and set beside.. looking at the house as it looked brilliant under setting sun..when the sun sank.. the immediate area in the lights by fire lit up and then as the shade of rock lengthened and disappeared into the woods.. the surrounding filled with brilliance of bright light within the range of rock shade periphery encircling ..

Vishmak was in the woods cutting logs to put boundaries to their house.. she had argued to accompany him in the fear of Maiysesura.. wherever he went.. he had asked her to wait outside the dense of woods.. Maiysesura had come in this area .. many times.. .. looking for her..

Vishmak: it's nightfall .. yet you have turned up the area with light.. where did you learn this art..

Mohini: Gori..

Vishmak: it's quite useful.. let's go inside.. i have turned up few drags in the woods to watch.. and a couple of synchs.. if he came around he should fall in ..

Mohini: i am so afraid of him..

She clutched on him..

Vishmak: if he don't get trapped in.. i will go hunting him in few days.. please don't be afraid..

Mohini: i will come with you..

Vishmak: yes.. be careful in the woods.. the drag is powerful ..

Mohini: yes. ..

She did hide her face in his shoulders as he picked her up and walked up the slope and in to their hut..

The Rocks...

there was a small (little) hummock nearby sheetla's village.. she went there everyday directly after school.. to find colourful rocks.. she liked very much.. she would carefully search different coloured stones and bring back her school bag full of rocks in different size and shapes.. her mother would say. .. Mori: sheetla.. these rocks are useless.. why do you work so much to go find rocks.. my daughter.. Sheetla: mother.. they are so colourful.. i like.. Mori: alright sweetie.. now do eat something.. before you go to hill.. you haven't eaten anything.. whole day.. Sheetla: i am not hungry.. She would answer bouncing out the corridor and crossing courtyard to go along play with her awaiting friends.. outside the gate.. She never skipped to go to the mound .. mostly her friends accompanied her but even if by chance they weren't there.. she would go alone.. Once.. she came home early to go to hill.. Mori: why you skipped school.. ? My daughter.. these st...

The Necklace..

Fiki got out of her hut.. moon was shining bright above.. in winter sky.. few smaller.. campfires were burning in vicinity nearby.. she came up to ficus tree in her house front.. and set on her husband kaalu's bedstead she had just made.. where he rested for awhile after dinner every evening till nightfall.. she was agitated.. he hasn't come home yet.. he normally came around nightfall whenever he went to jungle for collecting gum and sandalwood.. he was a sculptor.. he worked well with wood during off season from his farms.. Fiki set restless.. cold.. and even though she had prepared dinner a couple of hours ago.. she set waiting.. hungry.. she always remarked him to take Thindo to accompany whenever to go to jungle.. she thought wryly.. " anyway .. if he would be eaten by some animal.. i wouldn't have to be homeless.. " .. " nobody will bother".. her husband had no other family .. and neighbourhood was quite well with her.. the hut will be all of on...

The Painted dice.. of Mithi..

Silni bent down carefully to pickup a small bright coloured object that fell off from an open pot set atop her head.. filled with children's toys .. and sweet chocolate toffeis made in saccharine and jaggery.. the noon sky flashed a sharp sun that had just come out of thin clouds.. summer flared on hot earthen surfface as shrubs and bushes exurbs.. small brilliant berries.. and wild cactus with red prickly dotting golden flats in red green and dusty.. heat burnned softly on her shoulders as sweat trikkled down her neck.. She looked About as she pikked up the object.. that had fallen out.. on earth.. putting it back.. a yellow and fluorescent toy inside coir pot .. searching for a spot to rest.. spotting a neem tree a little ahead.. standing on roadside path on a walk towards a slightly big hut .. few children played afront. Ahead a little further away from roadway to a big farm . the roof shade.. with a couple of cattle.. she walked to neem tree and set the container beside a fl...
