The sun was on the horizon. The summer winds carrying the harshness of the heat were blowing against her cheeks. Nasima was assisting her mother in gathering some woods while their cattles were grazing at the bottom of the mountain.
Her mother rushed towards her dead body, Nasima was freezed and breathless. Nasima’s mother without uttering a single word lifed her on her back and headed towards her home. Arifa was shivering as she approached the place where Nasima fallen dead a few moments ago. She couldn’t believe her eyes and the nature which was playing something bizarre with her. Her eyes were searching for Nasima but they found a part of her skull among the stones. For a moment Arifa thought to take the skull but it was too frightening.
They headed towards their house as fast as their legs could carry them.
Moreover, everyone in the house was worried about Arifa, she was yet to get her conscious. In the morning a local healer was called upon to examine the condition of Arifa.
He agian touched Arifa’s forehead and recited few verses, then subconsciously told Arifa to ask Nasima what she wants?
Someone from the gathering rushed towards Arifa to cease her movements but the healer nodded his head and said ” let her lead the way”.
