Lost Minds

Isolated land,After hours of journey  in a caravan. They left me in that deserted place ,cruelly they looked at me and waved the hands with a smile.I looked around place,no human existence around.People might have considered this as a cursed land . 

what is the time? I asked my myself .
I looked at watch ,hands in the watch stood still .I checked for mobile phone it was died out of power,I  turned primitive to know the time .I looked into sky , Sky were dark as if it would rain heavily anytime now.May be its dawn or dusk .
In a hour it began to rain , silver array of light split through the raindrops .In fraction of second colors assemble . There was a rainbow 
Far away I saw the rainbow,I smile , I haven't seen rainbow in quite a longtime,No one around me ,a big banyan tree  , little plants and shrubs and long trees .My nostrils sensed petrichor,the bliss 
They abandoned me as they thought I can never be the part of their world.they thought I would suffer But now I and calm and composed No deadlines ,no haste , no staggered queue of vehicles , no firing  around me.Peace !!

I continued my walk it was still raining,I moved toward the rainbow. Distantly I heard another van approaching, I hid behind a tree 
I didn't wanted to go back,I peeped to check what was happening, someone got pushed out from a van and van moved swiftly, 


A girl with kitten in her hand, She had black thick glasses ,round face, defeat in her eyes , Unhealthy hair Her face diffused with weak and adorable ,her cheeks had stains of dried tears , 

I tried to approach her,when she saw me. she was very confused ,she took a stone and aimed at me , I walked away from her towards the rainbow 

I walked , she followed and. maintained  safe distance and never exchanged a word .Heavy showers turned to drizzle , kitten shook himself from turning wet  

She matched to my pace and then the kitten ,

She asked me  "why are you here?"
I had no answer for her questions, why they abandoned me.?
They might have thought I may cause damage to their reputation , when enough money flowed in they wanted to stack and pile up , I asked why cant you pile up poor fellow beings       I said to her , I was a misfit in their perfect world 

She said same with me 
I never followed path ,never did things as everyone was trained
they said : "i have lost my mind"

they all said ,i have lost my mind


Tears rolled down  her cheek again

I showed her raindrops falling from the banyan tree , silver lights and the rainbow

we continued our walk towards rainbow.
