FLOWING WISHES .....scene 1

This story .....is purely fictional and has no resemblance to any person living or dead whatsoever........but yeah some parts of it are inspired...

so the scene is based in the late 1950's in the era of marilyn monroe.....audrey hepburn...when "mother india" was still to rock india....when the winds of "gone with the wind" were still blowing ...and when "cassablanca" had cast its spell
our hero lets call him "A" was born in a divided province of punjab on the Indian side.
His father was a rich punjabi farmer left poor by the atrocities of independence and land reforms.Now the initial years of our hero were not that bumpy or happening et al, but yeah his family's economic condition was gradually detoriating due to his father's new found solace in binge drinking.piles and heaps of glass bottles gathering dust in the room that used to be the grain cellar. "A" prayed day and night ..."please God some how turn these bottles into gold" . but even God was too much engrossed in his own GAME to pay heed to "A" 's prayers.
one day "A" took an empty bottle to the river Chenab and sat on the banks of it wondering how life would have been if they still had their land."A" wondered where the river was flowing , where does it terminate or does it flow to the end of the world to the other horizon where perhaps God lived. can the river take his wishes to the Gods ? ? "A" suddenly tore a piece of paper from his notebook and scribbled some thing on it then he put the paper in the bottle and recapped it. with a deep breath he flunged the empty bottle into the chenab...praying for its safe journey to the Gods......totally unaware of the fact that exactly at the same moment on the other side of the border.....another boy lets call him "B" was retrospecting his life on the banks of Panjnad(chenab).
Going back a few hours in the life of "B". He just got thrown out of the quarry job he had joined that morning as he questioned the authority of the supervisor.With a few pennies in his pocket he left the place and headed for the river which was the only part of the world he knew was his own. No one to claim it.On the banks thinking how God could be so unjust to him, how the supervisor's son got to learn driving a Ford where as he was so deep down in shit. He thought of making an offering to God to appease him. So that he might take a ook at him for once.he threw his hard earned and only penny into the river praying "lord this was the only thing i was left with .....now u decide what i get"......unaware of the fact that a bottle with a message was on its way to him...

to be continued.................
