A THOUSAND SIGHS OF A DYING MAN (2)

Did the boy who became a man remembered the touch of his father's calloused hands that guided his footsteps through the paths in the village shadowed by dark mountains? Did he ever thought about his younger sister who got married in an another village,who now got abandoned by her husband and works day and night in that village of darkness and isolation fenced by mosquitoes and thick forest! And what happened to the brother who had 15 children? Was he able to feed them and give them schooling from his little shop where he sold expired canned fishes n pickles? He didn't know that his brother sat in the shop that stood on the village cross-road hoping that someday his younger brother who became a big man in the big city would stop by and come to visit him... A thousand sighs passed the dying man as he took his last breathe from his broken heart realising that he never remembered what he had, where he belonged to and what he should have done after he set off for his journey to the new world of pride!
